Kushner Entertainment

planning seamless. My husband and I really trusted that they understood our vision. Natalie proposed the Thad Wilson Jazz Quintet for our wedding and boy did they nail our vision! Thad and the band were simply marvelous! Thad has an amazing voice and really listened to our specific requests. Several of our guests thought Thad really sounded like the original artists that he was covering. Natalie not only played the cello for the ceremony but also learned a Chinese folk song just for us for our Chinese wedding tea ceremony. My only regret was not having our wedding photographer take a photo of us with Thad, Natalie and the band! Talk to AKED! They will design your entertainment better than you can envision it!

nd changed colors, I highly recommend Andy Kushner Entertainment!

nsion of the style and vibe for the night was fully understood and implemented perfectly. Wish we could do it all again!

honestly, our guests are still talking about how amazing Rhythm6 was! The band was so fun to work with, receptive to all types of new ideas (between new songs and our entrance to the main ballroom) and the energy in the room from the moment they stepped on the stage until the last song was more than we could have imagined.

rked closely with Rebecca to plan out the night and what we wanted from the band, and she did a great job of planning the schedule beyond just the music to make sure the atmosphere and flow of the night were perfect. Bonus: Robert, the band leader, was very supportive of having our friend sing a song with the band and even humored me when I asked the groom to come up a sing a song on the spot!

ce for our guests.”

play so many songs that we requested before hand. They were able to perform so many of the songs and music that we really wanted to hear, and were even willing to learn a song or two for our special dances with our parents. I requested to hear a specific Jimmy Buffett song for the dance with my mother, and they delivered, and it was such a special moment. They also played a wide range of variety - from LMFAO and Bruno Mars, to Michael Jackson and Taylor Swift, to Hank Williams Jr and Zac Brown Band. They were an amazing live band, worked well together, played more songs than I thought they would, and as I mentioned, were very gracious to play so many requests that we had. If we were to hire a live band for another event, we would absolutely ask Sound Nation to join us.

o stop! The band was able to learn our first dance song that was not on their usual list. They did a fantastic job keeping the energy and knowing which songs to play. It was easy to request songs and at the end of the night people were cheering for more songs! Can't thank them enough for an amazing night!

othing short of amazing - the dance floor was packed the entire night and we have received MANY compliments on how great the band was!

going, knew how to get people on the dance floor, and made the celebration a memorable event.”

re night. Various friends and family members asked for their information and asked if they could have a CD of their music!! I cannot thank Marquise and Andy Kushner enough for being apart of our wedding and essentially bringing the party all night long!

d performing our first dance song. Days and weeks after our wedding we received compliments from our guests - young and old - about how wonderful the band was. Everyone was up and dancing all night, and SoundNation truly made our wedding unforgettable!

y felt like they were at a concert. They are that good! We can't express enough our feelings for what the band did for our event! They were the BEST! Thank you to Andy and his musicians for entertaining our guests!!! The only mistake was not contracting for 2 extra hours! I told the Ritz we needed a bigger dance floor and I really think they underestimated that this MN party like to dance.

person was on the dance floor. They were so good at reading the crowd and keeping people smiling and dancing all night long! We also decided to have a soprano sax and keyboardist during the ceremony and they were breathtaking. I also had a singer sing as I walked down the aisle and it definitely took my breath away. I will be forever grateful for having found Sound Connection. Our guests are still raving about them! I will highly recommend them to whoever wants to set the perfect tone for any party!

temporary music) to meet my and my husband's preferences. Highly recommend!

I plan to contact Andy for any future events. Do yourself and your guests a favor and hire Sound Connection!

ces were incredible and it was almost hard to believe they weren't the real singers of the songs!! All we keep hearing from our guests is "BEST BAND EVER!!". I have friends that aren't even engaged yet asking for their info!! Pop strings crushed it too! Everyone thought it was so cool hearing the current songs for the strings. And Andy came up with the idea to use don't stop believing for the recessional song and everyone loved it!! Thanks for helping us put together an awesome, amazing night!!!

had. The band director, Robert Sullivan, was likewise outstanding. They played outdoors on a hot June evening, and kept the crowd dancing the entire night. What's more, they listened carefully to our musical tastes, and made sure that all of our guests were entertained. They learned a new song for our first dance (it was a mash-up, so not the easiest), and the female lead absolutely nailed it -- not an easy thing to own a Beyonce medley as fabulously as she did! I have heard from countless guests how MUCH they LOVED the band, and we have AKE and SoundNation to thank for that. Best day of my life, and so glad they were a part of it!

live entertainment you have to call Andy Kushner!

asked for, but they also were able to judge by the crowd what what music would be just right. It’s like they had a sixth sense about what to play. As the party came to a close and people were leaving, we received so many nice comments and compliments about Sound Connection. That made us feel really good. In fact, our other daughter “put in an order” to have Sound Connection at her wedding, whenever that would be. Six years later we did hire Sound Connection again for her wedding. Our family and friends remembered the band and were so excitied to find out they would be playing at the second wedding too. They knew they were in for a fun celebration! Kudos to Sound Connection. They are the best. We recommend them to whoever we know who is planning a party.

dding would not have been the same without them!
