We have considered Timepiece from Franklin Wayne and are looking into Times Square Orchestra, but my FH wants an 11 piece to 12 piece band. Any suggestions and prices??? Thanks guys

We used The Marvin Austin Band from Steven Scott. They were amazing! 7 piece band with both male and female singers. You will not be disapointed, check them out. Good luck!

I don't know you hall well to answer this - BUT I would say you might want to consider if a 10-11 piece band might be too much sound. You should be able to find that out from brides already married there or from your hall.

I am using Times Square and would be happy to answer any of your questions if you want to FM me!

We just booked Milestone Music. They are nine pieces, not 10 or 11 -- but they are awesome!

We used Dwight Howard and they were a 10 piece band. They have a website - www.dwighthowardmusic.com
They were great - we had so many compliments on them all night and after the wedding!

Re: I need a great band!!!!

Just remember that the size of the band should be determined by how many guests and how large the room is.
If you have 150 people - 11 or 12 pieces is too much. It will be more like a concert than a wedding.
I'd stick with 6-8 pieces.
