Review from the mother of the bride
This will be the best money you spend on your wedding, because the Elite Show Band will make your wedding truly memorable for you and your guests! They take the time to understand your style and desires, and execute perfectly! We opted for the 11 piece band plus additional horns for a “big band hour” during dinner and they were beyond amazing! Their energy and enthusiasm are contagious, and they have a clear ability to read and engage the crowd. Nearly everyone, seriously, nearly everyone, questioned and commented to us about the “fantastic band” and “where did we find them!” After the fantastic performance during dinner, the dancing never stopped, and the various song selections kept the young and not-so-young on the dance floor the entire night. We so appreciated how easy they were to work with, how accommodating they were, and how helpful they were in planning for the logistics of that night. We loved Nina’s announcing voice, and it, along with the entire Band’s professionalism shined through. Their talents provided us the best possible gift – the memory of that magical night.
