I cannot say enough about this band!!!! I had very high expectations for the music and entertainment at our wedding and Collective Entertainment truly exceeded them all. Zach (the owner) not only coordinated the reception music, he also coordinated the ceremony strings, the swanky jazz cocktail hour/dinner, and then the Motown style reception music. They can do it ALL!!! He was so patient with through the pickiness, specifications and detail and they brought a true elevated standard not only through incredible talent but also all the way down to attire (which was important to me). My very small guest count of 30 people came ALIVE to Collective Entertainment's music. They were the true heartbeat of the evening and I am cannot even begin to express my thankfulness. Do yourself a favor and book this band!!!!!
From the moment we spoke to Zach on the phone, we knew we were going to pick Collective Enterntainment. He answered all of our questions and was always so easy to reach. He was flexible with our times and songs that were important to us and just overall made us feel so good about picking them. The day of the wedding, the band came early to practice and once the wedding started they were just great!! We also had a slight change in some of the songs we picked the day of the wedding and Zach was just so accommodating. Every single person complimented our band and it definitely made our wedding so much better. Would recommend this band to absolutely anyone!! So so professional!
