Class Act could not have been better to work with from start to finish. Joel is easy to communicate with, and they worked really hard to make our reception go exactly according to plan — from building the setlist with the help of our preference...

s and requests (including expertly learning two songs we asked for) to wedding party introductions to making the night run on time to, simply put, being an excellent band — all at a reasonable cost. They sounded great, the dance floor was active and they did a great job interacting with guests. We lost track of how many people told us they loved the band. Thanks to Class Act for helping us have the best wedding we could have imagined.

most talented musicians you could imagine, they sounded amazing, and we are still getting compliments and mentions, unprovoked, about how great our wedding band was - three months later.
