I can't even begin to say what an AMAZING band Goody Blue Shoes is! After I went to a wedding they were playing at, I KNEW I had to have them at my wedding. In fact, we planned our whole wedding around their availability! For starters, they are... the most talented bunch of musicians- they can play pretty much any song and make you think "wow, this is my new favorite song to hear a band play live!!" or bring tears to your eyes (which was the case during our ceremony for which they provided music for). From the sax to their vocals, everything is on point. But what makes them really amazing is how they can really pump up the crowd- band members often venture out on the dance floor and jam out with guests. Their music selection was in my opinion the perfect selection for our wedding- a mix of motown, oldies, rock, and some contemporary favorites and was truly something everyone can enjoy. They also (which is a testament to their musical talent) learned some songs in Bulgarian so that our family could dance to Bulgarian Horo, and were complimented by some of our visitors from Bulgaria that their style and pronunciation was impeccable-the entire wedding, Bulgarian or not, was up dancing to the songs! But what I didn't realize until after booking them and what was perhaps my favorite part about GBS is that Johnny, the band director, is truly a caring and experienced wedding professional and he absolutely was the reason our wedding was a success- and not just when it came to the music and emcee duties. He acted as our own wedding "concierge" and guided us through all of our planning questions. He had many suggestions for us when we asked for guidance but always kept it aligned with our vision, and even helped us make some day- of decisions that made our wedding go even more smoothly when we had some hiccups (like when my mother in law wanted to sneak in a last minute Bulgarian tradition or two of my bridesmaids went missing- he just handled it and I didn't even know about it until it was over!). Our guests were raving about the band and the venue bartenders were all asking for their information to play at their own weddings (now how is THAT for a compliment!!). A huge thanks to Goody Blue Shoes for making our day the "reception of the century" according to all our guests and of course, to me and my husband. You guys ROCK! Nazdrave!
