Re: Band Help

Choosing a band was just about the hardest decision for us - we are NYC-based, and so couldn't go to a lot of LI band showcases. We looked at Alive n Kickin, Gerard Carelli, NYC Swing, Manhattan Rhythm Machine, Vali Music and Paul Rich Music. We saw all the bands live except for NYC Swing and Manhattan Rhythm. Ultimately, we chose Paul Rich and were so glad we did - people *loved* them at our wedding. A close second choice for us was The Right Mix by Vali Music. Good luck!

Re: Band Help

My band is called Arcadia which is from LI Paramount just like Renegade.
I wish that I had listened to Renegade. I have heard wonderful things about
them also. I didn't and went ahead with Arcadia and I liked what I heard.
Again they are from the same company so that should help.
Worth a listen to. My fiance and I as well as my family loved them.

I'm using a Franklin Wayne band too - Timepiece. They are great, and we are so excited we booked them. We also saw Code Bleu and thought they were also good. They are part of Skyline Orchestras. Good luck!

Timepiece is amazing!!!

They're out of Westchester but our band is Moonlight Silhouettes, They're with Stolen Moments in Dobbs Ferry. The original Stolen Moments is even slightly better, but they were booked for our day. I think for bands, their prices are reasonable.

Heart and Soul, a Franklin Wayne Band is really really good! My FI and I went to hear them and we loved them! Unfortunately we didn't book them because we needed an italian/american band!!! GOOD LUCK!
