I was blown away by the talent of the musicians, they really take their craft seriously. I requested a Roaring Twenties theme from Louis Pettinelli and they went above and beyond to make it happen. The singer Karlea was phenomenal and did an amazing job of keeping our guests engaged and entertained. The musicians were all courteous, professional, and exceptionally talented. They dressed appropriately for our wedding theme and many of the guests at the Hawthorne Hotel wanted to take pictures with Karlea in her Twenties attire. In addition to being a wonderful experience, they were also a great value for the price. These are top quality musicians and we paid a reasonable price for the band. I highly recommend this group for your wedding.

Jake and Mike were fantastic, we got so many compliments on everything from the dinner music to the main event. They even accommodated a late addition ask of them to cover the ceremony which as the Bride I had no time for. Couldn't be more pleased, Jakes communication was outstanding and really put my mind at ease knowing I wouldn't have anything surprises to worry about!

Phil is a DJ who absolutely knows what he is doing. He was so professional and responsive. AND we had last minute changes to our event and he was able to accommodate us in every way. On top of that, Phil was able to read the room and mix throughout the night without a hitch! There was hardly a moment without a full dance floor. Even more, the vinyl bar was such a nice touch and was so fun for our guests. Phil is an all around fantastic choice to DJ your event with excellence.

Awarded Best of Zola
Words can’t begin to describe how amazing this band was. When we hired them after a recommendation/commendation from another couple who called Blind Date the highlight of their wedding, we thought maybe they were being hyperbolic, but we knew at least the band would be good enough for a good time. Never in my life could I have imagined a band was capable of being as great as they were. From the beautiful jazz dinner set (it felt like I was listening to the jazz greats themselves), to the best two hours of dancing I’ve ever enjoyed in my life, Blind Date blew us away. Every single guest commented on how great they were. They were beyond fantastic and we can’t thank them enough for making our wedding so perfect. They brought us on stage for the MOST electric moments of the whole wedding--I felt like I was doing my own Vegas residency show. The LIGHT setup they bring themselves made the whole thing feel like a rock concert. It was the best day of my entire life and I can't imagine having a different band. I want to become a groupie for this band and start crashing other weddings they're playing at. BOOK THIS BAND! Their set list is PHENOMENAL, they learned a new song for our first dance and BLEW US OUT OF THE WATER with it. Everything was perfect. We're going to be talking about this band for as long as we're talking about our wedding. I am so beyond glad a referral from a couple we trusted turned into booking the best wedding band in the world.
