Without question the best wedding decision we made was hiring the Louis Pettinelli band for our entertainment 🎶
From the very first interaction when Louis returned my call at 10:...30 PM(!!) to begin the process of planning for our daughter’s not-too-far in the future wedding in Basalt, Colorado, which went off spectacularly well 3 weeks ago, Louis was a gem to deal with. Having had a VERY frustrating experience with another band and their unwillingness/challenges in communicating which resulted in our canceling them and getting a refund, we were stunned by how friendly, attentive, thorough, thoughtful, and professional Louis, and in the end, every one of his band members, were to deal with. He made the entire planning process, which included having to almost daily hound us to provide him song preferences/timing/everything that makes a wedding go off flawlessly, I can’t begin to say how wonderful he was to deal with.
Then there was the MUSIC!!!!! Absolutely unbelievable from beginning to end… The musicians were incredibly professional, arrived promptly, and were completely set up well in advance of the service, AND every single member of our 8 piece band was a delight to deal with. The music for the service, processional and recessional, cocktail hour, and then once we all moved inside to the beautiful antique barn which they nearly lit on FIRE with their energy, the entire evening was perfection. I don’t think for a minute that anyone could sit in their chairs! Since we chose not to have a sit down dinner but passed hors d’oeuvres all night, the only comments that we got the next day were that people left hungry because they couldn’t take a break from the dance floor! It was a good problem to have :-) I truly can’t even believe how fortunate we were ♥️♥️ On another note about the band that we had originally booked, every single component was an add-on; playing as the guests arrived, the processional, the recessional, playing during cocktail hour, the lighting and the sound system… Beware as every one of those were going to be charged separately and there was really no way to figure out what the final number would be. Combined that with the fact that the only way to communicate was through email – no opportunity to have a phone conversation to discuss any new details, and I was a wreck about how much it would cost and how we would get it all together. Louis' price was comprehensive and in the end I believe was significantly lower than we would have paid to the other band. The stress of not knowing and the inability to ask any questions was a deal killer for us. For Louis to give us a single number that included absolutely everything was an incredible gift. I can't stress this enough. His price was fair and the music and entire experience was exceptional :-)
We couldn’t recommend Louis Pettinelli one bit higher! You’ll see from your first phone call what a delightful experience you’ll have. Put everything in Louis’s hands and you’ll be so glad that you did. Thank you thank you thank you, Louis!!!!
