The Best Wedding Dance Band!

We were blessed to employ the services of Velvet Crush for our wedding this past summer. It was a backyard wedding and couldn’t have turned out more scenic and memorable. Simply put, they are the best.

Prior to the event, Gary and Dave visited our home and consulted on setting, electrical, timing, set-up, emcee needs and our desired playlist. They made it easy and stress free. They accommodated our every wish and suggestion.

Day of the wedding - they showed up early and made the load-in to a tricky creekside patio a non-event. The ceremony was done completely on their sound system including mikes for the officiant, toasts, and more. We were happy to offer them food and beverages from our buffet, which we were flattered they accepted and enjoyed.

Their sound system - Soundman Dave is right - it’s the Ferrari of gear like this. Crisp, clean, full, tight bass and filled our yard without it blaring. The playlist is amazing, the guys recognized special toasts and our niece’s birthday and more. None of our guests or family could believe we had THE Velvet Crush at our event - and that surprise factor and their fantastic high energy show made it what one guest called “The Best. Wedding. Ever.”

I can’t recommend these guys highly enough. It’s not inexpensive - but you get what you pay for, right? If you want a smooth, classy, high production value band, there’s none other. I hope we can find another occasion like an anniversary or something to hire them again! Simply the best!!!
