I got married a few months back and we booked Aura for our reception. It's easily one of the best choices I made about the day! I was so worried about people dancing, but the dance...
floor was full the entire time, and people were actually calling for encores at the end of the night. Months afterwards, it's still the main thing people mention from my wedding day. I was honestly so worried about our first dance being right and was fully prepared to use a recording, but the band not only learned the song (Young and Beautiful), but the version we wanted (Glass Animals, not Lana!) Scott made my husband and I feel like A-Listers. I didn't really have to worry about anything, but if I did have any concerns or questions, he was there within minutes to handle it! I cannot recommend them enough!
