Boom

email and call and leave voicemails multiple times before I got a reply. That was a little frustrating especially for a busy bride trying to finalize everything. But other than that, they were great as a band!

band that has more time to work with you on your details. If you are a bride or groom that is more go with the flow and not as concerned about the day of details, the band sounds great. After sending this email, I did also recall one other disappointment in the bands offerings. They claimed that they would learn approximately 5 or less songs if needed. We asked for them to learn 2 songs, one for our first dance in which they did play. The other I Wanna Dance With Somebody by Whitney Houston, the band simple pressed play on an iPod the night of for this song. We would have been ok with them not learning this if they would have told us a head of time. Hi Danny (band manager) and Theresa (band assistant): Thank you both for your services prior to and during our wedding on April 16, 2016. The band sounded fantastic and we received several compliments about the bands musicality. While the band did sound amazing I do have some comments I would like to share as I will be including them in my reviews online. Prior to me posting my comments to the world in online format, I felt that it would be most professional to share these with you directly. First, [my husband] and I were disappointed in the fact that no one was playing the piano during our dinner hour from 6-7pm. This "free" piano hour was included in our initial contract and also denoted in the details I emailed on March 8th underneath the heading 'Reception Timeline Information'. Secondly, we were also disappointed in the fact that 'Parent Dance' was announced prior to [my husband] and I giving our speech. I also denoted that this dance was a surprise for our parents and that Tim and I would be giving a speech prior to them dancing. Having 'Parent Dance' announced took some of the "shock and ah" value out of our surprise. Lastly and probably most importantly, we did not feel that our play/do-not play song list was follow. We sent our list of songs on February 23rd as well as on March 8th. Songs that were on the do not play (ex. Forget You and Sweet Caroline) were played. Further more songs that were MUST PLAYS were either played very late in the night or were not played at all (ex. of not played; Too Close, Ain't too Proud to Beg, No Diggity, etc.) In addition, [my husband] made special requests throughout the night as well as my mom making special requests. I am aware that not all requests can be honored throughout the night by each person, however we already felt that our song list was not being honored in addition to my families special requests not being met. Again, I think the band sounded amazing and overall everyone had a great time. However, in knowing how much time, energy, and money goes into planning a wedding, I was optimistic that my thorough and timely details would be followed and unfortunately I felt that Boom fell slightly short of those expectations. We wish Boom the best of luck in their future events to come!

a DJ because you will not get the same energy that you get from a band, especially BOOM! They are the best wedding band around and you will not find another band like them! They were also very reasonably priced and fit right into our budget! Thanks BOOM!

and text he assured us that our date was available. We attended another event he was playing and briefly discussed with him again our date. I sent him an email to confirm that we'd like him to play, but asked we talk on the phone to discuss details. He never replied. I again requested to talk on the phone and he agreed on a time, but at the time I was set to call him texted to say his "manager" had booked the date without him knowing. My subsequent phone call and texts were not returned. It may have been the case that a popular date was booked, but I would stay away from Boom solely based on their poor communication. Agreements you thought you had with the band are apparently meaningless, and Danny's follow through is non-existent. I suppose I should feel lucky I didn't rely on this band to play such an important event, but now we are again starting from scratch to find a band for a popular date, having already turned down offers from other (more organized and professional) bands. Poor look for Boom. Good musicians who could use more professional communication.

d to "Celebration" when he entered the room. They have a very expansive playlist where they can play all of the wedding go-to's but top 40 as well. I honestly cannot say enough about this band and we received so many compliments. Thank you BOOM for making our wedding that much better!!

hat keeps the crowd entertained long after a DJ would have put them to sleep. And beyond being great musicians and entertainers, the folks from Boom are professionals who’ll do anything to make their customers happy—like learning new material for our first dance and letting us take the mics to sing the last song. These guys made our wedding the event we had always dreamed of! But take our advance, get the horns! They were worth every penny!

how packed the dance floor was. Boom had played at two weddings prior to ours that we had been to, so we already knew how great they were. Great band at an unbeatable price; they even throw in a complimentary hour of piano playing during dinner. They play current hits as well as wedding classics. I'm a very picky person, but I don't have one bad thing to say about this band; my only regret is not booking them for an extra hour!

wide range of songs. They really know how to get the party going!

etc! We knew we had to have them as part of our day! They are so talented and set the tone for the wedding. Their energy is amazing-they keep the crowd up and dancing all night long! They also were able to learn songs specifically for our first dance and my father daughter dance - that was so amazing! They are by far the best wedding band out there so if you're thinking about booking - don't hesitate!

ception is when I was standing on the dance floor surrounded by my family and friends and ever single person was singing along with "Don't Stop Believing" belting at the top of their lungs with smiles on their faces -- it was great! The one thing I will say I didn't like is that Boom was hard to get in touch with. They didn't return phone calls or emails very well and I was worried about getting everything planned and organized before the reception, but they pulled it together at the end! The other thing is that they wanted to finish their set when we wanted to cut the cake. Several people were asking for cake and no matter how many times we talked to the band or no matter who talked to the band, they wouldn't stop playing! And when they did take a break, it lasted a while. In all, they performed well, but it wasn't the smoothest experience planning wise.

SOOOOO much fun.

he things I asked them for did not happen. One of my ideas was not able to work and I didn't find out until the reception. Also, even though I provided them with phonetic spellings of the bridal party names, they still messed some up as well as not announcing two of my ushers. If it weren't for those issues, they would have received five stars from me.
