Anyone use the band Creations?

Has anyone used this band or will be using them. Do you have their price and their phone number. Heard they were excellent. Thanks.

I used them for my wedding and half of the band was replacements on my wedding day. I could go on and on about them. They didnt follow the play list, etc. They were a vendor we were extremely sorry we booked.

My brother used them last year too and same issue as Cindy - half the band they saw at the showcase and that was on their contract did not show up. The band still was good but not at all as great as what they should have been per my brother. Plus the main reason they booked them was the 2 lead singers and neither of them showed.

LOL. The Creations brigade is here!

Yep, if you book them, you can be sure that you won't get who you see at the showcase

good luck to you rachel, maybe they are trying to change their reputation? it's a shame that so many brides have had problems with them. you are smart to put in that clause. i hope it works out!

We used Creations at our wedding in June 2003

They were fabulous. We had 7 piece band including saxophone. Guests were coming up to us and telling us that the music was great and saying how this band should be touring and is not the typical 'wedding band'. The dance floor was constantly packed with people dancing. We had a very specific list of songs to be played and they kept to the list. They also learned our first dance song within a very short amount of time. We dealt with Kim Sozzi, the lead female vocalist, and she was great to work with on the business end besides having an amazing voice. They have an immense play list which was one reason we picked them - they could play songs to satisfy the older folks as well as more contemporary music to satisfy the younger folks and they played them well.

Rachael, I wish you luck, but does the clause say 'if any member doesn't show up' or 'if any member doesn't show up and is replaced by substandard musicians'. Wedding bands can and will fall into any loophole you present them with.

Just a warning. Good luck.

Re: We used Creations at our wedding in June 2003

Hope it works out for you. I kept on top of it throughout the year of my wedding, going to showcases, etc. Even the day I put my deposit down to book them I asked about this happening. I was told that this wouldnt happen. Not only did I find out a few weeks before my wedding from this board that the lead and only female singer wasnt showing for some weddings, I was still being strung along that she might show when they knew she wasnt going to be there. There were also at least two more people that were replacements for my wedding. When that many people cant make a wedding, they are VERY unreliable. Most of the few songs on my play list were not played either. They also had the nerve to tell a guest that a song that guest was requesting 'was on the bride's do not play list.' I never thought our personal business with songs were going to be shared with guests. I didnt know I had to tell the band that if someone requests a song on OUR 'do not play' list to not share it with that person. This created a BIG problem at my wedding with this guest (my husband's unstable cousin) that she had a tantrum that I had such a list. Hope it all works out better for you.
