We love 2nd Wind!
My husband and I were fortunate enough to stumble across 2nd Wind while browsing the various wedding websites searching for a band to provide the entertainment for our wedding reception. They had glowing reviews from others and several past performance videos posted for us to watch. We were impressed and decided to reach out!
Our wedding was in September 2021 in Lexington, KY and we booked 2nd Wind about a year in advance. Edwin (rockstar musician and band manager) was our single point of contact the entire time and was responsive by email, phone call and text. We're both music lovers and I’m a DJ who does weddings myself so we had high expectations and really wanted our reception to feel like a concert. 2nd Wind absolutely delivered! Their talent, energy and professionalism were fantastic and we’re so glad we went with them!
In the months leading up to our wedding, Edwin always made himself available, sent songlists and accommodated our requests and preferences for music and setup arrangements. I will say that we did pay for several upgrades including additional speaker setups for both our ceremony and cocktail hour, extra dance floor lighting, a three-piece horn section, and a DJ for band breaks (they brought DJ Arie who killed it!).
On the big day, they arrived promptly at the venue’s opening time as Edwin promised and worked really well with our coordinator during setup. We had some specific music requests (arranged in advance) for the band and DJ for the ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner and dancing and they accommodated everything. Aretha, one of their very talented vocalists, was also the evening’s MC and did a phenomenal job. The appearance of the stage, their equipment and instruments, and all the band members themselves was top notch and their music selection and energy really drew our guests in. We received numerous compliments from our guests after the wedding about the band and how much fun they had on the dance floor. Speaking of the dance floor, 2nd Wind & DJ Arie had it packed from the first song until closing time!
Please consider 2nd Wind for your next event – they won’t disappoint!
