I'm having Niteflight. I saw them play again last weekend (about the 5th or 6th time, I think). I know we will be so incredibly happy with them.
I'm amazed that anyone who sees and hears them would even consider ANY another band. Not that I want to insult anyone else's decisions, but I do think that way!!!
We were just at a wedding that Niteflight played at, and I thought they were really good. However, both my DH and I thought that they took a lot of breaks. It seemed they played 15 minutes of music and took a break. Now, I don't know if they were following with what the hall was telling them, but I know that if we were the B&G we would have been upset at how many breaks they took. **********
We used Full House and loved them. To this day, we still get compliments on them. Full House
Wow, that didn't happen to us at all. They played a ton and took minimal breaks. It must have been the place.

We used Arcadia from Long Island Paramount Music and they were fantastic...two separate people at my wedding inquired about their availability for their kid's upcoming weddings (one of which is in South Carolina...they offered to fly them down!).

We're using Full House. Have seen them at other weddings and they were great, kept people dancing all night. There are no breaks, always a live musician playing.

NYC Swing. They are $1000 per piece... So it depends on how many pieces you want.

We are using PARIS, they are about 7,000. We checked out about 4 bands, and we booked PARIS are soon as we heard them!!
I second that! My sister used them for her wedding and they were EXCELLENT!! I didn't like bands for weddings until I heard them.

Re: Bands
Well, of course I hope this does not happen to me (the thing about the long breaks). I've seen Niteflight play at clubs and their breaks were short (and their performance was so incredible). For our wedding, they did give us a choice of either playing CDs during their breaks or of staggering their breaks so that all band members are not on break at once.
ETA--The main reason that Niteflight's prices are a little less than some others is that they do not book through an agent who takes a percentage of the fee.

We're using Time Square Orchestra and I have only heard raves about them. I can't wait, Joe is awesome and their showcase blew us a way. They were reasonably priced for what they're offering.
