These guys are a great band & our guests love them. They definitely had everybody dancing--they are truly talented. However, we had some issues with them that I feel are only fair to review--I think their business skills are lacking. We signed a contract saying we would have a four piece band with drums, bass, vocals/sax & keyboards. I mentioned the keyboard several times to Ted via email before the wedding after we had hired them. A week before the wedding, he called up to say that he made a mistake, booked a guitar instead of a keyboard & was very sorry, but that if he got a keyboardist last minute, the keyboardist wouldnt have time to be familiar with the songs etc. I understood & we said ok & went with the guitar, but I was extremely disappointed--I love the keyboard sound. As a consolation, he threw in a trumpet player which I had mistakenly thought was also included because even though that wasn't listed on the contract, Ted had mentioned it to me via email so I took him at his word. Long story short, they did a great job at the wedding, but I just wished we hadn't had that issue.
