I voted for Heart and Soul, out of your choices I only saw them and Code Bleu at showcases when we were looking. But, I think you should see these bands live before you decide, if you haven't already.

We used Full House and they were great, and they do showcases all the time.

If Code Bleu is available for your date, book them immediately!!!! They are amazing, I saw them in 2 showcases and one wedding and they absolutely floored me! I wanted them so badly for my wedding but they were booked so we went with Skyline instead but trust me, every single person I've ever spoken to about Code Bleu has raved about them! Good luck!

I looove my band Soul Revival , so far they are the only vendor I have booked besides my hall and I am very happy!!! They were very reasonably priced, and willing to work within our budget. They are a vendor on here. www.soulrevivalband.com

Re: Which band should we choose ?

I say none. . . either go with Arcadia @ liparamount.com (our choice and they are amazing) or look into Sound Chaser @ soundchaserband.com . Arcadia is a bit pricey but we are willing to cut elsewhere for them. . . and we heard sound chaser when we were out one night and they sounded very good and had a great price ($3000). FH and I wished that we had heard of them before we settled on spending more money. . . I never knew that there were great bands for less money (because they promote themselves) out there. . . I say look at these two and make sure you go to a showcase or two before you decide. . .we went to a bunch and were really torn between just about every band we heard and it ended up coming down to the size of the band, the pricing and a gut feeling when we met with different people. For example, I was not particularly fond of Frank Wayne, loved the bands (especially heart and soul) but he rubbed me the wrong way while I absolutely loved Gus and everyone in Arcadia right away. . . and the two people we spoke to from sound chaser seemed very friendly and professional also. In the end it all comes down to how you feel about the band. . . just make sure you have a broad base to choose from. . . Good luck and keep us posted!!

I have to say Heart & Soul from Franklyn Wayne. We saw them after we booked Timepiece. Frank has great bands.
