Charles Glenn Group

ys come highly recommended from my wife and I.

, and musical talent! Hiring The Charles Glenn Band was one decision of wedding planning that far exceeded our expectations. We also had two of the band members (violinist and key board) play at the ceremony....it was beautiful. We went with the 8 piece band and everyone was so much fun and talented! They rocked our venue! We also appreciated working with Contemporary Productions . I was a nervous mother of the Bride and wanted a perfect evening, and can honestly say it was perfect to me with Charles Glenn contributing heavily to that goal!

ommend them more!

e band, and I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking to add some wonderful music and cool vibes to their special day!! They helped make the night so perfect for us.

many compliments!

to work with and I could not recommend them more !

ation as the wedding day approached. I knew the group would be a blast to have, but they certainly exceeded our expectations. From the introductions to the songs they all sang to the songs played on your break, everything was absolutely perfect and so, so fun! The dance floor was packed all night. This was one of the biggest goals of my husband's and mine for our wedding reception, and it was certainly accomplished because of them. People are still complimenting us on how awesome our band was. They are the best!!! Charles sang the "National Anthem" and did an amazing job as usual. All of our St. Louis guests LOVED that. We really cannot thank them enough. Unfortunately, the majority of our friends are married now, but if anyone needs a band for a wedding, they will certainly be recommended by us. Thank you again Contemporary Productions and Charles Glenn Group!

packed at all times and the voices/talent in this group are unmatched!! Definitely book them!!

ng a band for our reception. I knew I always wanted a band at my wedding – there is something about the energy from live music that can’t quite be replicated by a DJ and it was my hope that we would have a packed dance floor from start to finish once that part of the reception got underway. To say we were thrilled to learn the Charles Glenn Group was available on our wedding date is an understatement – anyone that’s been to a Blues game over the past several years knows Charles has a phenomenal voice but we were also blown away by the talent of the other band members in their demo video. Due to COVID, there really wasn’t an opportunity for us to hear the band live before we booked them but we had no doubt that they would live up to our expectations. And they did much more than that – they completely blew them out of the water! Our dance floor was full the entire night and we had countless guests of all ages tell us how amazing the band was. They nailed all of our first dance songs but what really made the night so memorable for us was their willingness to accommodate a very special song request. My parents were married in the fall of 1979 and they also had a band at their reception. Their only request was that the band would know how to play their first dance song, "Somewhere" from West Side Story. However, when it came time for the first dance, it turned out the band did not know their song at all and to this day, neither of them can even remember what song they ended up dancing to for their First Dance. After hearing this story growing up, I had always thought about how much I would love to surprise them by having the band play their song at my wedding reception and the Charles Glenn Group made this dream a reality. It was one of the highlights of the night, watching my parents dance to a song they had waited 42 years for and I’ll never forget the looks on their faces when they first realized what song the band was playing. If you are lucky enough to have a wedding date where the Charles Glenn Group is available, do yourself a huge favor and lock them in before someone else does – they played a huge part in making our wedding day so special. We also want to give a big thanks to Peter and Gretchin at Contemporary Productions for helping us coordinate everything with the band. They were wonderful to work with and made the entire process seamless from beginning to end.

any people were dancing and kept on dancing. They know how to work a crowd and we had such a blast with them! Our dance floor was so full all night long! I didn’t want the dancing to end with them!

liments from our wedding guests about how much they enjoyed the band. The Charles Glenn Band was the highlight of our wedding- best decision ever!

Our guests were blown away. Hire this band. You won't regret it.

litated the speeches. Thank you thank you thank you Charles Glenn Group!!

ly recommend!

eptional. The band was very interactive with the crowd and our out of town guests were full of compliments on the performance and music. I would use the Charles Glenn Group again for another wedding or any function. They were truly outstanding.

s obvious that they love what they do. Could not offer a stronger recommendation!

il hour and the full group for the reception. The band looked gorgeous, had so much fun with our guests and truly entertained. So professional, so helpful in implementing all the special dances, and requests. We've had so many people calling to say they've never had such fun at a reception. We danced all night! I can't imagine any party or reception without this truly irreplaceable group of men and women!!! LOVE THEM ALL. Thank you a million times from the bottom of our hearts! XO

the band's spirit and talent! They were simply amazing, and EVERYONE (all 16 people, ha!) keep telling us how wonderful the band was and that the Charles Glenn Group was the best wedding band they'd ever heard.

t a wedding!! Sooo much fun! So easy to book & communicate with the band through Gretchen at Contemporary Productions - she is incredible, handled some last minute changes that were delivered flawlessly. BOOK THEM NOW!!

nd their first song started. Our wedding reception may have only had 50 people, but The Charles Glenn Group made it feel like 500!!! Incredible music and amazing talent. Additionally, Gretchen from Contemporary Productions was the most responsive vendor we had. She answered every single question promptly and was always very kind. We appreciate everything you did to make our wedding fabulous! Thank you!

wedding and they kept the dance floor full all night long and also helped with our count down to midnight. We didn't have to worry at all because they are so experienced and know just how to handle any room! Booking, planning, and everything in between was simple with great customer service as well. Book the Charles Glenn Group - you and your guests will be thrilled!

my daughter for our dance that felt personal and "Charlesed" A perfect group for a perfect night he Funked it up as per our direction and made it a forever memorable evening!! All 350 people were so excited when they saw he was the Band for the evening and kept the dance floor full the whole night. Let's Go Blues!! Best in St. Louis!!! Thanks Charles!!

. His agent Peter was also fantastic, and very easy to work with. The band was a huge hit at our reception and our guests are still telling us how they had such a great time. Definitely recommend the Charles Glenn group!

quality of the music and the talent of the musicians and vocalists. We had the full 12-piece band and it was a great decision to put our money into the full deal rather than other things because it made the party. When my second daughter gets married we will be scheduling the wedding date around Charles Glenn and his band's availability!

a jazz band for the cocktail hour which was outstanding. Our guests loved the music and danced the night away. It was a pleasure working with Peter the booking agent , and I would not hesitate to use him again if I need. band! Thank you for making Rachel’s wedding so perfect.

dinner and the full band had the entire wedding dancing all night long. Seriously. The dance floor was packed. Highly recommend!!

our first dance. They kept the reception going and had the dance floor full all night. Charles was also kind enough to spend part of his break talking, taking pictures, and even signing an autograph for our family members. Weeks after the wedding, we are still getting compliments and having people tell us how amazing our band was!

hroughout the planning process. Their music sound is truly beautiful! My husband and I were lucky enough to get married around the time the Blues were in the Stanley Cup - and per our request, he brought some Blues spirit to our wedding!!! We are so happy we chose this band - they brought the amazing energy that truly made our special day the best day of our lives!!!

t was a great time. Charles and his group were all polite and nice to guests, they looked the part and had a great time! Gretchen, their coordinator, was AMAZING! She was organized, helpful, and a total professional. Working with them all was a dream and I couldn't be happier! Thank you everyone! Book him. You won't regret it!

orded and then live music in the background-- great ambiance! The band played such fun classics and new songs, kept the dance floor alive, and helped us incorporate some reggaeton, salsa and recent Spanish language hits! At the end of the night, they gave us their drumsticks from the evening to help us remember! Also, Gretchen, our coordinator, was so easy to work with - in contact via email in the months before and then she reached out to our catering day-of coordinator during the last few weeks to ensure they both were on the same page.

w that I had to book them for my wedding! Gretchen, with Contemporary Productions, was amazing to deal with from the initial contract to the wedding date. Every single detail made its way to the band and was executed flawlessly. At the end of the evening, they were kind enough to let my brother-in-law accompany me on their keyboard while I surprised my husband and sang him a song. It truly was the highlight of the evening for us and many of our guests. They are not only insanely talented, but were so very kind to us and all of our guests. I will continue to book them for events every chance I get!

reception! I would recommend them all day long to any and everyone. They are incredibly talented, professional, and the absolute best at what they do.

127% worth it!

crowd to keep them going. All members of the band are multi-talented and a such a pleasure to work with. All interactions with their agent and office were extremely professional and efficient. We're so thankful that they were a part of our big day and would recommend them for any event!

rts of the group played throughout the entire event from piano during the ceremony, a jazz trio during cocktails to the full band for dinner and dancing. Charles, himself, is a charming,magnetic human being who everyone wants to be around! He just lights up a room even without his music -add his music to him and BAM! It’s a magical event.

entire night and performed a great mix of current songs and classics. We would highly recommend them!!!

Paderborn, IL, Karban's Knotty Pines. The drummer showed up early and talked me through everything for setup. In spite of the big room, the sound quality was outstanding, and they set up so that we could have as big of a dance floor as possible. Everyone danced their booties off all night long, and everyone kept asking my bridal party who the band was. Everyone, that is, except for the hardcore Blues hockey fans who knew Charles and were in awe for the private performance of "When the Blues Go Marching In". They were beyond good. They made the whole party and emceed the whole thing too. The variety of music was perfect. They even played/sang 3 POLKA songs live in honor of my German grandparents. Not only did Charles and his band give a great live performance, but Gretchen and Brad at Contemporary Productions did an amazing job communicating and helping me every step of the way with specific song requests, and creating an exact timeline which I based my whole wedding around. We opted for a jazz trio during the dinner hour, which was well worth it. If you really want a once-in-a-lifetime special night, I don't think you can do any better than the Charles Glenn Group.

ntertained! Charles is well-known in the area to both our friends and our parent's friends and this generated a lot of excitement. Plus, they learned all of our special songs. The female lead was every bit as powerful of a singer as Beyonce and Whitney combined. The whole band had so much soul and energy and impressed a family full of professional musicians. If we could go back in time, we'd book the four hours instead of three - even on a Sunday!!!!

d how great the Charles Glenn Group was and I couldn't have been happier! Thank you!

music. They were able to learn and play several special requests, and kept the dance floor filled up to the very end of the reception...even on a Sunday night!! It was so much fun to see my friends and family rockin' it on the dance floor as if we were in our teens again! Thanks to Charles and the band for sharing their amazing talents with us for Rob and Mallory's celebration.

still talking about the music. They read the crowd perfectly, were so interactive and really knew how to keep people on the dance floor. The only hiccup was that my first-dance and father daughter song were cut short, but thats the risk you run when having it played live. Just be sure to be extra clear with the length and style you expect for special songs. Would absolutely book the band a million times over!!

it was the most packed danced floor they have ever seen. Thank you to Charles and the band for bringing the fun and excitement to our reception!

and they really helped make our wedding memorable and outstanding. We cannot thank you enough, Charles, and the whole Contemporary Productions team for your stellar work. BOOK CHARLES TODAY!!
