    We enjoyed working with City Connect. As a couple really in to music it was important to us that we have a band at our wedding! Reverie really created

    Working with city connect throughout the process was great. A few weeks prior to our wedding we connected with Sal to review timeline & song requests. He was open to suggestions and even scheduled last minute for get a sax there for our recessional song!

    Dance party!

    We decided to use City Connection for my husband’s big milestone birthday bash. Sal was helpful with every phase of the planning stages and connected us with one of their DJs. I have to say how much we enjoyed Tyler as our DJ! He was very excited about our playlists that we had sent along for inspiration and did a great job keeping the dance party going! He was very kind, fun and professional. Everyone loved the music and had a great time. Literally the entire group was on the dance floor for most of the party! I wish we had another party to plan to have him again!!

    The best entertainment company

    The best entertainment company to work with. I've been using City Connection Entertainment for our company events since 2016. They make things happen and knows how to package the talents for your needs. I have not looked elsewhere since then. They're the best!

    Book Into The Night Immediately!

    We first heard Into The Night play at my sister-in-law's wedding in 2018, and we knew immediately we needed to book them! Sal and his team at CCE were responsive and gracious even through a pandemic postponement. The night of our wedding in June 2021, the entire dance floor was packed, and every guest commented on what an amazing band we had! Definitely book them for your wedding!

    Not another DJ - BUT a SPECIAL touch to your venue

    DJ's are a dime a dozen.. live music - sets your event apart!!! Having a live band adds a special touch to any venue - remember the experiencing a live performance and feeling the music? SO when you have that "first" dance wouldn't it be wonderful to have the music sang to you? City Connection has all styles of music entertainers and lighting for moods - they have it all. All my guests commented on the enjoyment of having live music instead of the canned DJ - You should check out City Connection - you'll realize that the price is comparable and you get MUCH more.

    An excellent band with many compliments from our guests. They learned songs not on the regular playlist and played as if they had been doing them for years. -TomM, Father of the Bride

    The band was fantastic last night! Ron was wonderful to work with. He ( and the entire band) went out of their way to accommodate last minute changes and additions. Nadia and Vince rocked the house. The cleints were thrilled. Thank you for all your hard work. It was a pleasure working with you. I hope we are able to work together more in the future.

    City Connection came highly recommended, and they really delivered! Sal Kuenzler was an absolute pleasure to deal with. He was extraordinarily friendly, helpful, honest, and carefully walked us through the process to make the evening a hit. Into The Night performed for the entire function, and they were fantastic! Vince, Stephan, Nadia & Co. rocked! Many of our guests have raved that they've never seen better entertainment at a wedding. We'll definitely be using them again.

    The band we selected Into the Night, was awesome. Very professional talent. Kept our guests entertained. The music was very fresh, top 40, they can read the crowd. The dance floor was packed, no one wanted to sit down. Highly recommend City Connection can't go wrong with the talent and manager. Delivery top notch customer service.

    I cannot express enough how excellent our experience was in booking the musicians with Sal and City Connection. The pianist and cellist were of the highest quality. They were prompt, professional, talented and quite the showmen.

    Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for making our wedding such a huge success. As you know, the band was the most important thing to us and you didn’t let us down! We appreciated you taking so much time to really pin point exactly what we wanted. Your ability to adapt, change, and the suggestions you made were all so critical to the final production, which was so perfect.

    We had many people who were absolutely blown away by the talent and professionalism of “into the night.” A lot of people said that many of the songs were sung better then some of the original artists. Brandon mentioned this, and he listens to a lot of music. He thought the band was fantastic.

    One of the highlights also for us was Tony’s solo at the ceremony. It was so beautiful.

    If you are looking for a band for your wedding look no further. They are the real deal and sound incredible! We had people dancing all night and wanted the band to keep the music going all night! to this day we still have people that can't believe how amazing the band was!!

    We worked with Sal at City Connection and the band Neon Crush for our wedding this October. Having a live band play the the reception was very important to us, so we spent a good amount of time doing our research. While we felt like we did our due diligence, NOTHING could have prepared us for how amazing Neon Crush was. The quality of the music was phenomenal, their energy was high, they were engaging with the audience - everything was a "10". We couldn't have asked for a more perfect band and performance.

    Leading up to the wedding, Sal was very transparent and helpful with all of the critical details that went into the preparation. Sal and the band did a wonderful job of keeping us in the loop with updates, and respecting our wishes with the song list.

    We highly recommend working with both Sal and Neon Crush.

    I'm not sure of the band's name that Sal gave us.... But, it was incredible. I danced the whole night of my wedding! And multiple guests asked me for the bands info. They made the night! Everyone was up dancing! Thank you thank you!
