    I was a little iffy about having a band, I was so worried about people not dancing or not having a fun time. Boy was I wrong. This band was absolutely incredible!!! I had so many people asking me their name and commenting on how fun it was. My sister told me she has never been to a wedding where people never left the dance floor. The band really made this wedding amazing. Due to covid we only had about 53 people total and we were so worried for nothing. The band had me the groom up on stage singing and dancing with them. We had gone through their list of songs and marked which ones we liked/disliked, but with all the craziness of the wedding I never got around to sending it. This made me even more nervous because I hoped they wouldnt play things no one liked. Again, so wrong. They knew exactly what to play, they played classic rock, current pop, 90's music, some Motown, R&B, Sinatra for dinner set. They knew what would get people dancing. My husband who is a huge Alabama fan got pulled up on stage to sing sweet home Alabama. He loved it! Mark was incredible as well. He never minded to talk with me on the phone about our goals/worries for the wedding. He gave me the best piece of advice that if the bride and groom are having fun, the rest will follow and he was definitely right. We both agreed all night that this was the perfect choice. We were absolutely blown away with them! Definitely a must book for your wedding.

    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.
