Code Bleu!! We booked them, and I can't wait to dance the night away. I wanted to book them after seeing their live showcase but FH wanted to also see Franklin Wayne first. I definitely recommend going to see the live showcases!

Sean (band leader) with Code Bleu has an awesome, friendly personality and they have been really easy to work with.

Code Bleu sounded like a great band that I wanted to dance to, and they look like they're having so much fun while performing.

Franklin Wayne also sounded very good but they didn't seem as cohesive of a group. And they performed more like a concert where you would watch them, as opposed to dancing to them.

Both are very similar in terms of price.

I'll send you FM on quotes.

Has anyone booked the acoustic guitarist through FM entertainment? His name is Jonny Meyers...just trying to get an idea of how he sounds at the wedding for the ceremony & cocktail hour! Thanks!

So music update we think we really want a band and are between entourage and code bleu. Anybody have any sway either way?

Strange question prehaps but for those who have seen code bleu do they have a lot of energy and cover some of the top 40 songs well? ive been attempting to find them on YouTube playing an actual wedding but haven't had any luck.

I'm kind of leaning towards entourage and my fh loves code bleu. I just felt at the showcase entourage covered a lot of newer stuff and I just wanted to get up and dance, but then again it could have just been the songs chosen for the showcase. But they are both extremely talented bands!
Love all input :)

Code Bleu definitely has a wide range...and they definitely do top 40! Have you been to their showcase? I think they pick a wide variety of songs to show you their ability, but based off their song list, they can play pretty much anything.

I'm so happy we booked them...one of the things I'm most excited for at my wedding!

But honestly, I don't think you'll go wrong with either band. Good luck!

Thank you girls it makes me feel a little better! I did go to the showcases. I think what made me a little nervous (although im nervous about every decision lol) was they didn't play many new songs whereas entourage did. But I realt like that code bleu is so professional and the fh really liked them. I need to be a fly on a wall at one of their weddings lol

I heard Code Bleu is great. I went with Entourage because I saw their showcase three times and fell in love. My friend also recently went to a wedding with them and said she was blown away and the dance floor was packed all night. I was nervous also because I never saw them at a wedding but my friend seeing them at a wedding def helped my decision.

Re: Music

We're using Soul Revival, they are so great, and play everything. We've seen them a few times at friends'/coworkers weddings and they have so much energy, and kept everyone on the dance floor. My friend who just got engaged over Thanksgiving reached out to them, and she told me they're doing this holiday promotion giving $1,000 off for wedding packages. I wish they did this last year. www.soulrevivalband.com HTH
