BILL SICKLES Guitarist

laylists of other music to perform. We all enjoyed his music!

and it sounded brilliant. He brought the band in afterward and rocked our reception. It was solid musically even adventurous at many times and the perfect blend of tradition and a fresh performance. Speaking as a musician, I'm really glad that we found him.

ie cutter), and a waste of time. There are so many things I can list off about what I hate about weddings, but my number one complaint for most weddings: the music (Food is a close second. If I have to wait for food because you're too busy taking pictures, you're doing your wedding wrong). Everyone uses a DJ, which makes your event inauthentic like the "Mexican" restaurant you frequent. Anyone can make a playlist on iTunes or Spotify, press play, and awesome. You have your background music as if you're in the produce section of Walmart. If that's what you want because you're an uncultured human being that wants to hear the same things you can hear on your car radio when you're driving to work, get a DJ. Oh and have that DJ - who you have never met and has never had any social bearing on your relationship up until this point - emcee the whole thing! What a great idea! Call up DJ Sarcasm and wikaa wikaa on the ones and twos! You have got to be kidding me. There is nothing personal about you having a DJ. Cross it off and book Bill Sickles. Bill Sickles was one of the highlights of our wedding. He's a masterful guitarist who does an outstanding solo act with his loop pedal. We had him play music throughout cocktail hour and eating and socializing before the real reception kicked in later that night. Bill played Beatles, James Taylor, Carol King, jazz hits, recent pop hits, the whole sha-bang. Bill Sickles takes your whole event to another level of class that will outshine all of your friends' weddings. I'm being serious. With Bill at your wedding, your married friends will show up and say, "Oh man, why didn't we do this? We suck. We should probably divorce, re-marry, and get a mulligan for our wedding." Not only that, but he played our first dance and the parents + bride/groom dances, and having live accompaniment from Bill made those moments so much more emotional than they were tired tropes of your standard wedding. You want to press play on your phone and make everyone listen to the same song they've heard dozens of times? Or do you want your dances to be special moments and therefore provide special performances of a special song? How many times do I need to say "special" to drill it into you that pressing a button for your first dance is incredibly hack and emotionally underwhelming? You need to have Bill Sickles at your wedding. Bill is professional, kind, patient, chill, and everything you could ever ask for. He's willing to learn some songs for you and take requests. My family was over the moon with every song he would pull from his knowledge vault. And on top of all this, he is incredibly affordable! Hey! You ever notice how expensive DJ's are? That's because there's a high demand for mediocrity! People don't know any better! Ask Bill what his price is and take a seat because you're about to be floored with his response. Not only will your reception be one-of-a-kind and classier than most, you saved money at the same time. Why are you still reading this review and not calling Bill? What's wrong with you? Let's review: 1) Everyone doing their wedding is lame. 2) Bill Sickles isn't lame. 3) Book Bill Sickles. I'm glad we could have this discussion. You won't be led astray by booking Bill.

coming. We met with him a month before the wedding and planned out the music for the ceremony and cocktail hour. He pretty much can play and learn anything you would want for either the ceremony and cocktail hour. He started 30 minutes before the ceremony and continued till the reception. My brother is a singer, Bill was eager to perform with him and with very little rehearsing, he played two songs with my brother. They did such a beautiful job. I can't thank Bill enough for doing such a beautiful job. I highly recommend him!
