Mr. Big and the Rhythm Sisters were absolutely incredible!! Tim, from the very start, has been such a joy to work with; he’s incredibly kind, creative, and willing to work with you on every detail for the evening. Three weeks after the wedding, I’m still hearing how amazing they were and how they made the entire night even more special!! The only thing my guests and I were bummed by was when they stopped playing! We could’ve kept partying with them for another 2+ hours because of the energy they brought. Thank you for being so wonderful from beginning to end. I couldn’t recommend them enough—they helped merge our two families by getting everyone on the dance floor, even those who aren't typically big partiers! There is nobody better to have for your wedding, I promise you! Thank you, Tim and your wonderful band!

WOW! WOW! WOW! There are quite literally not enough words for how AMAZING this band is!!! I was so nervous ab the crowds and people not wanting to dance at my reception and this band totally handled everything and before I knew it the whole crowd was on the dance floor! People have not stopped contacting me to tell me how much fun they had. They went above and beyond from second line, having the groom and I come up to sing songs, party favors, the list just goes on and on!! Thank y’all SO much. I could not have asked for more

s so great to work with and custom tailors the band experience to fit the bride's needs. SO many of our guests are still raving about how amazing the band was. They created a constant atmosphere of fun and entertainment that no one wanted to end. Tim and the band worked with me to have different phases of entertainment throughout my reception including a jazz band during cocktail hour, a second line surprise, and a party band that our guests LOVED. The band even let me (the bride) and the wedding party up on stage to perform with them throughout the night. They kept the energy up and the party going. They also provide high-quality lights that were transformative for our tent. I can't imagine my wedding without Mr. Big and the Rhythm Sisters. They really did transform my wedding into an unforgettable experience.

t and made sure the dance floor was packed all night. Their energy was infectious, and their setlist was perfectly tailored to keep guests of all ages engaged—from classic hits to modern favorites, they played something for everyone. Their ability to read the room was perfect. Just when you thought the energy couldn’t get any higher, they would kick things up another notch! Not only were they amazing musicians, but their interaction with our crowd made everyone feel like a part of the show. If you're looking for a band that brings life, excitement, and joy to your event, look no further. They were the highlight of our night, and we’re still getting compliments on the music weeks later. Highly recommend—worth every single penny!

e leading up to the event as a type-A bride like me would have preferred, you never would have guessed it the day of the event. They were completely professional and did everything we asked and added a ton of extra surprises that had our guests up and dancing the entire night. Weeks later, we never got tired of people telling us what a blast they had at the wedding and how much they enjoyed the band. Our only regret is that we didn't get a bigger dance floor!

propriate music as a backdrop during the opening cocktail hour. Following dinner, their second line band went through the entire ballroom, coaxing guests to their feet to fall in line, which everyone declared one of their favorites. From that point until the end of the event ... 2 solid hours ... everyone was on the dance floor having a blast. Tim communicates well and understands the tone of the event, matching it with their talents. The entire band "reads" the room and crowd and adjusts accordingly. We will definitely book them again, if able.

can play and sing many different genres. They had our guests on the dance floor all night with dance lines, congo lines, limbo and group songs! They even got my husband on the dance floor which is saying a lot since it was the first time he has danced in our 30 years of marriage! At the end of the evening, they surprised the bride and groom by leading them out of the reception with a jazz band parade. It was the perfect touch to a perfect evening! Our guests still talk about what a great band we had and how much fun they had at our reception. Mr. Big and the Rhythm Sisters truly exceeded our expectations!

Mr Big and the Rhythm Sisters do not disappoint. They played our fraternity formal this past March in Pensacola and I had numerous people walk up to me in bewilderment, all asking ...

the same thing: "Where did you find this band!?". Their music was great, their energy was off the walls, and at one point, after their midway break, they came back into the venue in basically a drum line with marching band instruments and I could see the shock and enjoyment on everyone's face. A lot of bands play good music, but if you're looking for good music AND a good time, look no further than Mr Big.

To say the least the dance floor was packed until the very end! Definitely would recommend.

We used Prime Time Entertainment via our wedding package at the Hilton Sandestin. Prime Time was chosen for us, however, we were very pleased with them. We were given a choice of...

5 music types which I listed below. 1. Solo Violin 2. Classical Guitar 3. Steel Drum 4. Saxophone 5. Harp We decided to go with the classical guitarist, Jim Armstrong. We were extremely pleased with him. Due to our package he could not play during the ceremony, but he played starting approximately 20 minutes prior to the ceremony, including the music for the bride and bridal party entrance. He also played 20 minutes after the wedding including the recessional music. We worked with Jim on the selections we wanted played as well as requested a special song that was not on his play list. Jim learned the song in time for our wedding and played it as our recessional song. My husband and I were extremely happy with that and emailed Jim to ask if he had any CDs available which he does not at this time. We were hoping to get a CD with our wedding music on it. I cannot say much about the value since it was included in our package, but I do believe that it was between the $200-$400 price that I listed. I would recommend Jim Armstong. His classical guitar playing is perfect for an outdoor beach ceremony!
