City Connect (Reverie) really made our wedding!
Sal was extremely professional and responsive to all of our needs. The band, Reverie, killed it at our reception. Everyone was on the dance floor all night!
We decided to use City Connection for my husband’s big milestone birthday bash. Sal was helpful with every phase of the planning stages and connected us with one of their DJs. I have to say how much we enjoyed Tyler as our DJ! He was very excited about our playlists that we had sent along for inspiration and did a great job keeping the dance party going! He was very kind, fun and professional. Everyone loved the music and had a great time. Literally the entire group was on the dance floor for most of the party! I wish we had another party to plan to have him again!!
This group of musicians and singers were individually outstanding as well as incredibly talented as a group. I saw them at my nieces wedding and was so impressed by their musicianship. They can sing and play a wide variety of songs and styles and got everyone dancing and singing along!
We hired Spin Fusion for our wedding and they truly crushed it! The band itself was so fun and they kept the dance floor packed all night long. Our guests could not stop raving about how good the band was! We were so happy working with Sal also. He was extremely helpful and communicative throughout the entire planning process. We highly recommend using City Connection Entertainment and more specifically, the band Spin Fusion!
The best entertainment company to work with. I've been using City Connection Entertainment for our company events since 2016. They make things happen and knows how to package the talents for you. I have not looked elsewhere since then. They're the best!
We first heard Into The Night play at my sister-in-law's wedding in 2018, and we knew immediately we needed to book them! Sal and his team at CCE were responsive and gracious even through a pandemic postponement. The night of our wedding in June 2021, the entire dance floor was packed, and every guest commented on what an amazing band we had! Definitely book them for your wedding!
Having a LIVE band adds s special touch to any venue!
Everyone has a DJ, but having the experience of a LIVE performance sets your party apart - remember experiencing a live performances and "feeling" the music? City Connection has so many styles of artists to choose - R & B, Rap, Jazz.. you name it. SO when you have that "first" dance, wouldn't it be wonderful to feel the music sang to you, rather than hearing that old record from the DJ?? (They also do lighting- themes, etc... what ever)
I've used City Connection several times, and they haven't disappointed - very professional, easy to deal with and the band I used received raving reviews from ALL our guests.
We had an extremely positive experience with City Connection. Their attention to detail was impeccable and the band members were all very talented and entertaining. Our guests all commented on how wonderful they are. They were very classy and kept the momentum of the party going!
I don't even know where to start. I can't thank city connections enough for making my wedding day a blast. My guests are still talking about the day almost a month out.
Sal Kuenzler and Breena were my contacts through city connections. Sal helped me hire the entertainment I was looking for. Once I decided Breena helps me through the process of everything required up to the day of the wedding. They are both very professional and easy to talk with.
I hired a Quartet, a Magician Steve Silverman, and a live band Into The Night. The quartet played requests not on the playlist with out any problem. I hired them for the ceremony and through the cocktail hour. A few of my guest said I wonder if they could play stairway to heaven and the they started to play it the next song sitting nowhere near those guest. By the end of cocktail hour my guest were gathered around the quartet.
Steve Silverman was great to make his way around to see most of my 240 guest. My guests are still trying to figure out his tricks and he does it right in front of them. He did a great job entertaining the children and adults.
I cannot say enough about Into The Night. They definitely had everyone dancing all night long. They interacted with my guest and came out to the dance floor. They also played a few of our requested songs that were not on the playlist. The MC was great and called a few days before the wedding to make sure the timeline is how I wanted it.
City Connections offers a lot of different entertainment and I was amazed by all three vendors they provided. Thank-you for making my wedding day perfect!
This band blew my mind. We had a vocalist, bass, guitar, piano and drums. I was so impressed. Sal and Breena were amazing setting everything up and I have nothing but wonderful things to say about the performances and organization.
My guests keep raving about our band Into the Night. We were unable to hear/see them live before signing them but after speaking to other bride and grooms who had the band, we knew we had a great band and couldn't pass them up. Working with Sal and Breena was so easy. They were on top of everything. The band had so much energy, personality and was so much fun! I was so happy with their performance and would highly recommend them!!!
I loved what Sal and his crew at City Connection did! I got a lot of compliments about our music and the blend of everything that Dean used. However, my mother in law, who is insane and was paying for the DJ decided that she hated them and what they did - I felt terrible because I like these guys and know that they have a lot of experience. I wish I had been able to focus more on City Connection's work instead of my mother in law's insanity.
Great to work with, very helpful, excellent DJ voice, really kept the party moving.
