Craig Scott Entertainment

was fantastic, with a mix of timeless classics and modern hits that kept everyone engaged and dancing. They created an unforgettable experience for us and our guests. It was extra fun when they came onto the dance floor and really got the crowd involved - everyone loved it!!!! Nick & Scott were so incredibly personable and easy to work with, and we are so happy we booked them for our wedding! We would HIGHLY recommend!!!!!

ad music playing to then realized it was a  live singer.    Guests from wedding intentionally sat close to where they were playing just to listen during entire hour they played. 

t - we are still getting calls about how phenomenal they were and how some of our guests can get in touch with them. They kept the party going nonstop for hours and brought the energy! They are so fun and interactive, which is exactly what we were looking for! We are forever grateful to them for making our wedding such an incredible experience and party! We would choose them over and over again! Thank you so much!!!

opped hearing from our guests how incredible the band was. The dance floor was packed from the very first song until the last. They learned songs that were special to us and curated the best playlist!!!

reached out to. They keep the dance floor packed the WHOLE wedding, and so many of our guests complimented how much fun they were and how great they sounded. We added two extra pieces (extra female vocals and extra horn), and the singers would come down into the dance floor to engage with our guests. Before we booked we did not realize that the package also included live music during the ceremony and during cocktail hour (you can pick keyboard or guitar- we had keys for ceremony and guitar for cocktail hour). They also had guitar playing during dinner when the full band was not performing, which was a nice extra to be included for no additional charge. Rich and the others from Craig Scott are so easy to work with and very responsive via email. We had someone reach out to us about a week before each payment was due to confirm what payment method we want which we so appreciated. Rich also coordinated with the maid of honor to play a clip of music during her speech. We met with Rich the week before the wedding to give song requests (and they learned Taylor swifts new song that had been out for only a week or two for us) and then based off the age of our guests the curated the rest of the playlist. If you want a lively and packed dance floor all night highly highly recommend Phase One!! I wish I could post videos as part of the review to show how incredible they really are

arily with Nick and he worked with our wedding coordinator to put together a schedule/plan for the event. This ensured everything went according to plan. On our wedding day, we had the absolute best time on the dance floor and so did our guests! It was so special that the band accommodated all of our special requests, including my Dad playing the drums! We couldn’t have asked for more - everything was perfect! They are so talented and really kept the energy up the entire evening. They have become a fan favorite - my best friend also had them at her wedding, and they will be at a family friend's wedding this upcoming December. Thank you so much for being a special part of our big day. We couldn’t have been happier with our decision!

Don't think twice - just hire them! Also a pleasure to work with before the wedding while planning etc. 10/10!

Communication leading up to the big day was smooth and reassuring. During the ceremony, the acoustic setup was elegant and perfectly timed. For cocktail hour, their set added the perfect background vibe. Once the reception began, they truly stole the show. Their energy was infectious, and the dance floor was packed all night. They played a fantastic mix of classics, modern hits. Every musician was incredibly talented, and the vocals were powerful and on point. Guests kept asking us where we found them. Their emceeing was tasteful and kept the night flowing smoothly. They handled every transition flawlessly and made it all look effortless. This band didn’t just play music — they created moments we’ll never forget. Hiring The Craig Scott Band was one of the best decisions we made. Five stars, no hesitation.

ding they’ve ever been to.” Not only were they amazing at the wedding, but Rich was wonderful to work with and made the planning process so easy. They happily took our requests leading up to the wedding and were extremely helpful in guiding us in the right direction. If you appreciate good music and want to keep everyone dancing - book Phase One!!!

any event!

which made the wedding planning process that much easier. Highly recommend using Phase One as your wedding band!!

still raving about how awesome our DJ was!! Not only did Gary have such great energy throughout the night, but he really did exactly what we hoped for and played all the music we discussed. We had a few phone calls/emails leading up to our special day, and Gary made everything so seamless and easy. It wasn't just the music he played, but it was his entire energy, voice, demeanor, and overall talent. He not only captured our vision, but he exceeded it! We HIGHLY recommend Craig Scott Entertainment and absolutely loved working with Gary. He is beyond talented.

at we were looking for. Would recommend and use again.

r with him. An unbelievably nice guy who allowed us to be very collaborative to make sure the music during our wedding was exactly what we wanted. A lot of DJ's we met with when trying to find one weren't very open to collaboration, but Gary wanted as much input as possible and it was exactly what we were looking for. I could not recommend Craig Scott and Gary any more!

the one to book! From the very first song, they had the entire crowd on their feet, bringing an incredible energy that never let up. What truly set them apart was their ability to read the crowd—they knew exactly what to play and when, keeping the dance floor packed all night. Whether it was an upbeat hit to get everyone moving or a slower song at just the right moment, they had an instinct for keeping the party going. But they didn’t just play for us—they played with us! At times, they even joined guests on the dance floor, making the night feel interactive and even more exciting. Their stage presence, enthusiasm, and sheer talent made every song a performance to remember. If you want a band that goes beyond just playing music and truly elevates your wedding, Craig Scott is the perfect choice. They turned our celebration into an unforgettable experience, and we couldn’t have asked for more!

wedding day, Rich took the time to truly understand the vibe we wanted for our wedding to ensure that our vision would come to life. Whether it was song requests, the style of music we wanted played at specific times, special dances at specific times, a traditional request, or a non-traditional request, Rich made sure to take note of every little detail so the band was prepared. Something special about Richard Bascomb & Phase One is that they do not have one set way of doing things – they are very accommodating to your unique vision, and they try their absolute best to fulfill as many of your requests as possible. During the wedding reception, and even weeks after, our guests (and us) could not stop talking about how incredible the band was. Their talent, cohesiveness, and their ability to sing such a wide variety of song genres is remarkable. Richard Bascomb & Phase One managed to get every guest on the dance floor, and the band was in with the crowd dancing, singing, and creating an unforgettable experience for everyone involved. The entire wedding reception went flawlessly, and that is all thanks to Rich being extremely organized and the band's obvious preparation for the event. We put our full trust into Richard Bascomb & Phase One to play a huge part in our wedding day, and they went above and beyond and exceeded our expectations. We cannot put into words how incredible they are. So, if you are looking for a top-notch wedding band, Richard Bascomb & Phase One is the way to go – you will not be disappointed!

throughout the night to ensure everything was going as we had hoped. They even learned our first dance song which was an original self-written song. Definitely recommend!

ht, from the moment we first contacted them through the end of our reception. We hired them for both the reception as well as our ceremony music (a brass quintet), and additionally had an Italian language singer for the reception. The band brought a fantastic energy to the dance floor. We couldn’t have been happier with how the music turned out. We would recommend Rich and his band to anyone who wants a stellar wedding with music so great you’ll have trouble getting guests off the dance floor!

Landing. Would highly recommend!!

eption, made our wedding a dream come true. Rich was amazing to work with and made the experience of booking a band and picking songs easy and stress-free. We are SO happy with the songs that the band played. Almost a month later and our guests still talk about how amazing the band was and how much fun they had! We were dancing with our guests the whole night. Picking this band will be one of the easiest and best decisions of your wedding day!

ything in a ton of detail. The day of the wedding they were absolutely awesome. From the first song they had the entire party up dancing, and that didn't stop all night. They also helped our family members sing during the reception, as well as played some non-traditional music over MP3 during dinner for us. I would recommend them to any couple looking to get married.

raved about how great the band was. It was truly a highlight to a magical night.

eader Nick was also very easy to work with ahead of and during the event and had great suggestions on how to structure the flow of the evening. We'd highly recommend the Craig Scott band!

to work with a vendor who is both responsive and eager to assist. Their attention to detail and commitment to creating a memorable event were evident from the start. The team was professional, yet approachable, making every interaction enjoyable. They effortlessly adapted to our specific requirements, ensuring that the couple's vision was brought to life with elegance and flair. The music and entertainment provided were top-notch, (DJ, musician and intelligent lighting) setting the perfect atmosphere and keeping guests engaged and entertained throughout the evening. I look forward to future collaborations and highly recommend their services to anyone seeking a seamless and enchanting celebration.

They played such a great mix of music for all of guests to enjoy – both young and old – which we so appreciated. The dance floor was filled all night and nobody wanted the night to end. Thank you, Phase One Band, for a night to remember!!

rs was. We knew the experience was going to be great but we were truly blown away. Nick, Scott and the team were so great to work with leading into the wedding. The band did such an amazing job of taking our suggested song list and creating a set that had us and our guests dancing all night!! Our expectations were beyond exceeded. They really made the night for us, and we have had SO many guests raving about the band’s performance. Words can’t express how grateful we are and how highly we recommend hiring the Craig Scott Band for your wedding or event!!!

y fed off the energy that they brought. Each and every one of the musicians were so incredibly talented. Clyde, was absolutely outstanding and our guests could not stop talking about him! Rich, the bandleader, was extremely helpful during the planning process and communicated in a timely fashion. We couldn't recommend Phase One Band enough!

y absolutely blew us away! From start to finish, they were engaged not only with us but with the entire crowd. Their energy was contagious, and they knew exactly how to read the room, keeping everyone on the dance floor the whole time. The transitions between songs were seamless, and the variety in their setlist kept all of our guests—young and old—dancing nonstop. We couldn’t have asked for a better band to set the perfect tone for our big day. Highly recommend Phase One to anyone looking to elevate their event with incredible live music! A special shout out to Rich who was the band leader who made everything a seamless process!

ilable for a quick call, text or email. Super friendly and helpful. The band knows how to get people dancing. Highly recommend.

ry song was better than the next. Afterwards we got so many compliments. Thank you for making the wedding so extra special!

evening. Our guests were on the dance floor for hours. Craig Scott Entertainment also arranged for us to have a pop up performance by the Jersey Boys of Broadway -- which was EPIC!! If you're looking for a wedding band, your first call should be to Craig Scott Entertainment.

ial planning stages to the last song of the night, they were professional, responsive, and incredibly talented. One of the highlights of our wedding at the Hilton Pearl River was the live musicians provided by Craig Scott. Their performance during the ceremony, cocktail hour, and dinner was nothing short of spectacular. The musicians were skilled, versatile, and created a beautiful ambiance that our guests absolutely loved. Their live renditions of our favorite songs added a personal touch that made the evening even more special. When it was time to hit the dance floor, DJ Frank from Craig Scott Entertainment took over and kept the energy high all night. He knew exactly how to read the crowd and mixed our favorite songs with guest requests seamlessly, ensuring that the dance floor was packed from start to finish. We also incorporated live musicians into our reception as well, and our guests could not stop talking about how incredible the saxophonist and violinist were! When we initially spoke to Scott, he understood everything my husband and I hoped to have at our wedding reception! He completely blew us out of the water! Their attention to detail was impeccable—they made sure every moment, from our first dance to the final song, was perfectly timed and executed. They also worked seamlessly with our other vendors, ensuring that the entire event flowed smoothly. Our guests are still raving about how much fun they had dancing the night away! We couldn’t have asked for a better music company to bring the energy, joy, and live music experience we wanted on our wedding day. We highly recommend Craig Scott Entertainment to any couple looking for a top-notch music experience that will leave everyone with amazing memories.

lt like a live concert, there was so much energy coming from the band. They did an amazing job of adjusting the music to the vibe of the party and the guests. Could not recommend them more!!!

nd were responsive before hand with any inquiries we had. My brother had used them years ago. They were amazing then and still are!

s band!!!!!!!!!!

uly the best wedding ever. Our guests couldn't stop raving about them, unanimously agreeing that Craig Scott is the best band they've ever seen at a wedding. Their energy and talent had us and our guests glued to the dance floor all night long – we literally had to be peeled off by the end of the evening! What impressed us just as much as their incredible performance was their professionalism and friendliness. From our first meeting to the last song of the night, Craig Scott was a dream to work with. They listened attentively to our preferences, accommodated special requests flawlessly, and ensured everything ran smoothly on the big day. Without a doubt, if we could, we would hire Craig Scott and their band 1,000 times over. They exceeded every expectation and played a significant role in making our wedding day absolutely perfect. Thank you, Craig Scott, for creating such magical memories with your amazing music and exceptional service!

eo we saw convinced us to take a risk, and it paid off tremendously. From the start, all our calls with Scott and Nick were organized, and they always put us first, thinking through everything we needed. They even learned a few extra songs, like "Pinball Wizard," which is a challenging piece and held special meaning as a memory for my late father. Unlike other bands, they did not charge extra for learning these songs. When they arrived at our wedding, they were impeccably dressed and coordinated. They expertly managed the playlist to keep people on the dance floor—impressive for a Sunday wedding after a long holiday weekend. The band members frequently came onto the floor to interact with our guests, making it a truly unique and engaging experience. All our guests were so impressed that they asked for the band's information for their children's upcoming weddings. Trust me, if you’re reading this, book them now before your date gets taken. They are absolutely incredible, and even my family, who are musicians themselves, were blown away

tone and keeping the energy HIGH throughout the night. Their ability to engage with the crowd was exceptional – they had everyone on the dance floor the entire night which was so important to us! Countless guests have since told us that this was the best wedding band they've ever experienced. Craig Scott Band was the best decision we made!!

hroughout the entire night where we didn't see our dance floor packed, which is exactly what we wanted! We gave a couple of songs beforehand that we wanted played, but the band took the rest and ran with it and everything was perfect. We loved how personable the band members were and how engaged they were with us and our guests on the dance floor. Rich was also super communicative and helpful leading up to the wedding and made sure all of our questions were answered. Our family and friends are still talking about how incredible the band was 2 months later. We would recommend Craig Scott Entertainment/Phase One Band to anyone who is looking for live music that will make their wedding night unforgettable!

eryone on the dance floor all night long- it was truly like a live concert experience throughout the night with music from 80s, 90s, early 2000s, and contemporary hits. They accommodated all our song requests and first dances. We highly recommend using Phase One to all!
