James B. Married on 05/19/2018Fun and professional
Tropical Ave were so much fun playing a our wedding - we loved their music and our guests did too! With our input on song choices, they played a killer set of popular songs our guests knew and loved, but with a fantastic personal flair and tropical vibe. Everyone had a blast dancing with them! To make it even better, Jeff and the team are highly professional. Jeff is a clear and responsive communicator, so the booking and planning process was a breeze. The band is organized, on-time, and experienced at managing a wedding performance. This was really clutch for us when Mother Nature threw a huge curveball with a 2-hour rain delay. Jeff and team took it all in stride, worked with a modified schedule, and delivered a great performance that our guests still talk about 5 years later. We cannot recommend this band enough! -
