Which are the best bands?

I would like to know, which are the absolute best bands I should look at. I want high quality, high energy for my reception. If it costs a little more, that's ok, as long as its worth the price. So far I have looked at Full House, and I will be looking at Times Square. Which others? If you know price range, let me know.

Re: Which are the best bands?

I'm having Code Bleu - they did my cousin's wedding and were incredible and a woman i work with had them as well and got tons of compliments. People said they were dancing all night long at her wedding ( I didn't go). I adore them and would recommend them to anyone. And not TOO expensive either (for a band)

Re: Which are the best bands?

I am having Milestone Music...under Body Heat entertainment...they are really good. They cost less than Body Heat, but are just as good if not better according to my Mom. They have showcases twice a month. If you go you might see my mom, she has become a groupie...just look for the crazy woman dancing in the back.

Re: Which are the best bands?

I really liked my caterer's house bands, Paris and the Projekt. We went to a dozen showcases and none measured up! They are part of Soundcheck entertainment, and they are showcasing at Russo's on July 16- You should DEFINITELY check them out!

Re: Which are the best bands?

We went to a showcase for Next Faze and thought they were fantastic - high energy, high quality, great sound for all 9-10 members. But they were more than we wanted to spend.

Re: Which are the best bands?

I am using the Charles St. Paul Orchestra....I saw many bands and they (IMO) are by far the most superior. They are a little bit on the pricey side but to me they are worth it. If you want their number FM me.

Re: Which are the best bands?

just my opinion: body heat, code bleu, heart and soul, milestone and times square orchestras are all amazing and each one has a different sound depending on what you are looking for. i have not seen any faze 4 bands but i have heard great things about them and the projeckt.

Re: Which are the best bands?

Midnight Magic Orchestra is the only band we saw in our search where every member is a lead vocalist. You can select your own songs and they are priced right for what they give you. They bring separate sound technicians that are not part of the band, but are included in the price.

Re: Which are the best bands?

I had Heart & Soul for my May 16th wedding and the energy was amazing. There are 2 female singers and 2 male singers. My guests raved about them and the dance floor was packed. Go check them out at a showcase you won't be dissapointed.

Heart & Soul

Re: Which are the best bands?

I'm using Soular Rhythm located in NJ -- but they travel anywhere. I'm paying a little more than I planned but I wanted a variety of music from soft R & B, jazz to Latin and they are able to do that. They are pretty verstile and I went to a wedding when they were performing and they were great!!!
