Skyline Orchestras (Bands: Code Bleu/Rhapsody/Skyline)

ng, and FUN. They were an essential component of our wedding and set the tone perfectly!! Book them EARLY or get their availability before you commit to a date at your venue - yes, they are that amazing. Early on in our planning process, we heard wonderful things about them - they were actually the only band we seriously considered for our wedding. We attended a showcase at their studio in April 2017, and booked them immediately afterwards. Definitely attend a showcase if you can - but rest assured they're all incredible musicians, very professional, and worth every penny. We worked closely with Marisa from start to finish - she was so kind and helpful when it came to all of the many questions we asked. Skyline has an incredibly long and varied list of songs and accommodated the special request for our wedding song graciously (and performed it ahead of time for us at a second showcase we attended... and blew us away with how authentic and heartfelt it was!). Skyline's leader, Ross, scheduled a call with us a few weeks out from our wedding to review our timeline and make some key suggestions that helped our day run very smoothly. He was in touch with our awesome Day-Of-Coordinator, Kelli Teglas, our Event Coordinator at the venue, Rocio Morello along with our Maitre'D, and our photographer, Jon Lemon. We were so impressed with how well Ross knew the venue and the ins and outs of how the evening would go. Additionally, the harpist for our ceremony, Faith, was provided by Skyline, and she was fabulous. We had a special request for Moon River to be played, and she was happy to accommodate. THANK YOU, Skyline Orchestra!!

great they were. Highly recommend!

For our reception, Code Bleu had everyone – young, old, and everyone in between - dancing all night. They truly excelled at reading the room and adjusting accordingly, playing a good combination of music from “Fireball” to “Will You Be My Girl.” The band members were engaging and often joined guests on the dancefloor to keep things lively. They nailed our first dance song, and made our parents cry during the father-daughter and mother-son dances. We were truly blessed to share our wedding with Sean and the rest of the band! They are truly the best in the business. Suggestion to anyone booking them – if you can swing it get everyone (the extra vocalist, trumpet, etc). They are truly something special. Sean/Donna if you read this – Thank you so much from the bottom of our hearts.

recommend.

ts of personality. It was perfect! We could not have asked for a better performance for our special day! Excellent job!

ll around good time !

ting down on the dance floor. At one point everyone was dancing – I’ve never seen my family having so much fun as an entire group! My family has worked with Code Bleu for other weddings, so I knew before booking them they are amazing. This band is truly talented- guests can sense their passion for music as they are smiling at one another as they jam- their vibe is infectious! Leading up to the wedding, Sean (Band leader/Guitarist) was very responsive with every question that I had. They have a very interactive website that you used leading up to the wedding that gave them an idea of what kind of music you would like. Sean and I spoke a few days before the wedding to go over last minute items. I asked Sean over the phone to play whatever the band thinks is best (since they are the professionals) and to just keep people on the dance floor all night. They did exactly that. The band members themselves are all young good-looking musicians. Pam (one of the female singers) has a beautiful range- similar to Christina Aguilera. Donna (female vocalist/Sean’s wife) has a soulful voice with hints of Etta James or Ella Fitzgerald influence. Shelly (male vocalists) has an unbelievable voice that nails every note. One of the members of the band is a former American Idol contestant- Anwar Robinson; his voice is breathtaking. Our guests kept coming up to me complementing me on the band. I am so thankful to have come across these guys!! If you are unsure, go see them perform at one of their showcase gigs. We went with the 9-person band. It was worth every dollar and then some. The value of this band CAN NOT be beat. They also had a pianist playing a jazz session during cocktail hour that was spot on. Do yourself a favor and book with them now- they book quickly (so much so, that my cousin who tried to book with them could not because they had been booked on their wedding date months prior to his attempt). The reception music had all of our guests complimenting us about afterwards. They kept the energy up until the very end and read the room just right in terms of what the crowds needed when for throughout the night. In addition to the actual night of the wedding, I have to rave about the communication leading up to the wedding day. They have a great planning page that you can go in and adjust whenever you want to add more info, songs you want to hear, music you don't like, etc., and it keeps everything so organized and easy. Your contact person with the band is notified every time you save new content to the page and then you have a call to go over everything in the week leading up to the wedding. Donna came up to my husband and I during the reception to ask us how we liked everything, and to offer us well wishes- this was so sweet! Oh, and they played until the very last person (my husband and I) walked out of the room…and they still continued playing until the end of the set. I heard them playing as we were in the elevator heading up to our suite; they are so professional! I didn't worry about a single thing. I just enjoyed the night and the awesome performance- it was exactly as planned, and yes my feet hurt too because I was on the dance floor for most of the reception! Thank you, Sean, Donna and Code Bleu!

y sang songs better than the original! I would recommend Code Bleu to anyone! Such a fun and kind group of people!

oking for an amazing band to play at your wedding, stop your search and reserve Code Bleu, trust me it is worth it and will be the best decision you make. We can’t thank Code Bleu enough for making our wedding so special! - Alex and Justin

rally made our wedding. We were not an easy wedding, we wanted songs from the Beastie Boys to Hey Mambo Italiano, to Ingrid Michaelson. We had an annoying do not play list and even asked the band to sing some songs but without a country feeling. The band came through in every way possible. From the guitarist sliding on the dance floor ripping a guitar solo, to Luciano Pavorotti being performed right after dinner and making literally everyone cry, to the keyboarder nailing every Billy Joel song, everything was perfect! We were nervous because about 75% of the wedding crowd was under 30 years old and the other 25% were an older. The band did an amazing job at playing new and old music that everyone knows and loves to dance too. We didn’t want the same typical wedding songs. The dance floor was filled the entire wedding! The band played off the energy of the crowd and we had a ton of energy. From the cocktail hour to the very end the band did not stop playing. Our party even chanted “One More Song!” for an encore performance. I am telling you all our guest came up to us and said they felt like they were in the middle of live rock concert all night long. To the band, I know you all do a ton of weddings but you truly made our wedding night something unbelievable and special. Thank you again for everything! – Love Jess & Ryan!

ances, dinner and all night dancing - smiles were glued to all the faces in the venue. Thank you a thousand times over for making the soundtrack to our big day! We've already had people requesting your information for their next events! Caitlin & Ryan

of the reception. A great wedding band is truly memorable, setting the stage for the whole evening, making every moment pop, getting people up out of their seats with a collective feeling of joy and energy and vigor. By that measure, Code Bleu is a great wedding band. They absolutely nailed the song for our first dance, which was “Tenerife Sea” by Ed Sheeran. The song has a gorgeous finger-picked guitar riff that Sean got exactly right, and they also made sure to maintain the same tempo as the studio recording, which made it a lot easier for my wife and I to get through our choreographed dance. The feedback from our guests was unanimous: the band was incredible. Everyone was blown away. To quote one of them: “They did songs that your grandparents will love, they did songs that teenagers will love, and everything in between.” More than one guest told me that at points during the evening they assumed the band had taken a break and put on a studio-recorded track, only to turn around and be surprised to see that it was in fact the band playing the song live. Ours’ was also a crowd that had plenty of musically proficient individuals with discerning ears. One of the groomsmen is an outstanding guitarist in his own right, and he was totally blown away by Sean, finding himself zoning out for minutes at a time listening to a couple of his solos. Code Bleu gave us confidence throughout the whole process. My wife and I invested a great deal of time and energy in picking a band; we read a lot of reviews and went to a lot of showcases. There were a few things that stood out about Code Bleu from the start. The first thing is that the whole band sings. This is an easy thing to undervalue, but it gives them a ton of flexibility: the sax player sings Latin songs, the keys guy is a dead ringer for Billy Joel, the drummer does Dave Matthews—and then you’ve got also got dedicated vocalists. With most of the other bands we saw, the lead vocals did all the singing—maybe one or two of the musicians sang a bit of backup—and as a consequence they were more limited in the types of songs they could really nail. It was also reassuring to my wife and me that the band members are consistent. Many of the other bands we saw were a rotating cast: on the day we saw them, they had one or two outstanding talents, but couldn’t guarantee that they’d be part of the ensemble for our wedding months later, because at any point they might leave for a different opportunity. Code Bleu seems almost like a family—they’ve been together for many years, and they seem genuinely to love what they do. You know what you’re getting with them, and Sean himself is a warm, passionate and patient professional that never gives you any reason to doubt that they’re going to deliver an incredible performance. They do a great job with arrangements, and know how to use technology to produce an authentic sound. They know how to read a room and make sure everyone is up and engaged and having a good time. And they also know how to make sure that the focus and spotlight is on the bride and groom, and how not to make the show about themselves. So, again: if they’re available, book them.

and talented group of musicians and singers. They are managed by Skyline Orchestra. You can choose how many performers you want for your wedding which is nice and budget friendly. They vibe with a good crowd and make the experience so much better. All everyone could talk about was how great they were. Everyone was on the dance floor having a good time.

heir range of songs was amazing and people still keep telling us how much they loved our band. Rhapsody made our wedding so great!

band, our first (and only) stop was Sean at Code Bleu. Even though we heard them at prior weddings, we still went to their open showcases just because we love their music! We worked closely with Sean to coordinate our day of music for the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. Sean was attentive to all our questions and concerns, he fulfilled all of our requests, and he was extremely communicative and helpful during the whole process! You always hear during wedding planning … the band makes or breaks the wedding … well Code Bleu gave us an INCREDIBLE party! The dance floor was filled the whole night and they made it so fun by interacting with guests during some of the songs! The band can play such a wide variety of songs to accommodate everyone’s preference, it made the night so enjoyable! The band filled the room with high energy and truly made the party. They are extremely talented and we highly recommend them. My husband and I asked for recommendations throughout the whole process and Code Bleu’s name always came up first as a recommendation! Unforgettable night, thank you to Sean and Code Bleu!

2017 wedding. My husband worked closely with Sean and he was extremely communicative and wonderful. He perfectly executed my dream of having my sister sing my first dance song, going the extra mile by rehearsing with her a few weeks before the big day. Every time we see someone that attended our wedding the first thing they talk about is the band. The dance floor was always full and they read the crowd perfectly. Pay the extra for the additional female singer.... its totally worth it :).

y of songs that pleased the whole crowd.  I truly cannot thank them or recommend them enough to everyone! Thank you, Sarah and Joseph

e head chef at the venue commented on. If Code Bleu is available, you must book them for your wedding!

y filled the room and our dance floor was packed all night. They are a great group of talented people and are worth every penny!

just to play music, but to throw a party. After having Code Bleu, you are never going to want to go to another wedding with a DJ.

stic but they keep the flow going great and get people on the dance floor with the right mix of new and old songs. Thankfully they were available for our date and I came away being even more impressed after having worked with them. They are so easy to work with and go above and beyond. We had a song that we wanted them to learn and they did no problem and it sounded great. All day of coordination they made it really easy and took care of everything. I would highly recommend Code Bleu! If you book them you will not regret it.

t was and we are still getting comments.

and they were so accommodating. It really made the night extra special. I highly recommend Rhapsody!!

Aerosmith. It was a pleasure working with them - great communication. If you are looking for a band - book Skyline! You will not be disappointed.

y going all night long! We are so happy that they were part of our perfect day!

at our wedding. Our guests even commented that they forgot it was a band playing at times because they were that good! They really knew how to read the crowd and get everyone up dancing. Other comments we received from guests were they haven't ever danced so much at a wedding before. It was incredible for us to take a look at our dance floor and see how many people were out there dancing. They also did an amazing job on our entrance music which wasn't typical (Star Wars music) and even brought their own lightsabers to join in with our bridal party. They were also interactive during our wedding and our guests liked that too! We also appreciated all the help from Ross before the wedding. He was so easy to talk to it was like he was one of our friends and every time we had a question he was very quick to respond. We would highly recommend Skyline to anyone for any event! Thank you for being a huge part of our wedding day and for making it such a memorable experience.

t even begin to explain how happy I am that I lost that fight! One of my biggest fears was that no one would dance with a band, but the opposite happened! So many people wanted to dance that my dance floor wasn’t big enough and they ended up dancing on the carpet. The band members kept me updated throughout the night and checked in with me. Charlie made the planning process so easy that the night went off without a hitch. It’s three weeks after my wedding and I’m still receiving compliments about the band! I can't thank Rhapsody enough, they were truly amazing!!!!

o a 94 year old) on the dance floor the entire day. We are still getting rave reviews about how amazing they were. Thank you so much Sean, Donna & co. for such an incredible time!!

t went with the overall theme of the songs/artists that we told them we liked. Sean is the main contact person prior to the wedding and goes over the worksheet we got to fill in our music choices. He’s great! Easy-going and has tons of experience, so will tell you what songs work and don’t work for specific things. Donna is Sean’s wife, and she was our point person at the venue. She double checked the pronunciation of all the names and how we wanted certain things announced. Also very nice and calm, which is very helpful in the chaos of 270 guests! Code Bleu is so awesome! I can’t praise them enough. They sounded amazing! The packed the dance floor all night, and best of all, they looked like they were having a ton of fun too! My only regret is that I didn’t get a chance to dance as much as I wanted. I really hope that we attend a wedding where Code Bleu is playing because I will dance the night away!

ng. They were really friendly and easy to work with. Our guests were SO impressed.

and we're still getting compliments on how great the band was and how much fun everyone had. Ironically, they were our 3rd choice band, but the other 2 were already booked. (They were behind 2 bands we had seen in person, but we only knew Rhapsody from reviews.) In hindsight, I’m so happy how everything turned out…everything happens for a reason! Charlie was also easy to work with from day one. Do yourself a favor and book Rhapsody!

e dancing all night! We got so many compliments on the band.

ng was perfectly suited to ours. We were put at ease, and they maintained a professional yet easy going manner throughout planning and the wedding itself. On the day of the wedding, we never had to worry about the music at the ceremony, cocktail hour, or reception. Everything was run perfectly. The dance floor was packed the entire night, and guests are still raving about how great the band was in quality and music choice. Code Bleu is simply the best way to go for your wedding music.

u can tell they really want every event they play to be fantastic. I am very, very picky and I saw over 30 bands before seeing Code Bleu and boy am I glad I did. They always have free showcases which is awesome!! This is the best wedding decision that we made and I will always have an awesome video with great music thanks to them. Thank you Code Bleu. I'd give you 10 starts if I could!!

t. All of our guests are calling it the best wedding they have ever been to! Thank you again for giving us an unforgettable night!

th Code Bleu. We had our wedding in an airplane hangar and they could not set up until an hour before the reception and they had no problems. They arrived on time, were professional, accommodated requests and brought the party to our reception. Seriously, worth every penny. I would have paid more if I had known how good they turned out to be.

They were awesome! They are ALL great and EVERYONE loved them. Kept us dancing the entire night and my guests are STILL talking about them (especially Lou/MC and Gary/singer)! The only thing I would say that is kind of weird/negative is that for some reason it was somewhat difficult at the beginning to book them -- seemed like we were being pushed towards Code Bleu. But no matter. We got who we wanted -- SKYLINE!! Trust me -- go attend one of their showcases and if you think they are great there, they will be even better at your event!! : ) : )

lly by people who typically do not like to dance) and all of our guests are still raving 3 weeks later about what a great band they are!! They were the most expensive vendor we used (besides the catering hall, itself) but they were worth every single penny!!

ed. You need to go to one of their showcases to know what I'm talking about. Five minutes in you'll have goosebumps, you foot will be tapping, and your head will be bopping. We brought my future Aunt and Uncle with us to the showcase, and they told us if we didn't book them they were going to renew their vows and have a party and book them themselves. I think they still go to showcases haha- they had such a good time! They dress like professionals, act like professionals, they know almost any song you can think of, and they get back to you right away when you have questions or concerns. They are expensive ($7,100 for extra amazing singer Pamela, ceremony, etc.), but definitely worth it. The biggest problem you'll have with them is seeing if they are available on your date.

a 9 piece band for our reception. They were able to go from pop, to rock, to classics. They kept everyone on the dance floor and made sure that all of our announcements ran smoothly. Definitely a must!

gether an arrangement without a problem. Additionally, my dad asked them to put together an arrangement for a song with sentimental meaning to the both of us, and they also did that without difficulty. My guests are still talking about what an amazing band we had. We cannot wait to attend another wedding to see them perform once again! :)

were blown away by their sound, emotion and sheer energy! Nobody sat down for this wedding!

fantastic - I still have people telling me how amazing the band was. I would recommend Skyline Orchestras to anyone.

seen at so many other receptions. They kept the party going, all while making it personal for us. If you want a great party, with an amazing band, stop looking and book one from Skyline, you will not be disappointed.

ey had a soundtrack because they wanted to buy it!! They were the first band we saw and we went to see them 2x after we booked just for a fun evening!! LOVE SHAWN, DONNA, TOMMY, DREW, and everyone! They also provided our ceremony music and cocktail hour music. AWESOME

sn't the most friendly. He's fine overall, but guests told me that he made some unecessary comments that were inappropriate, about members of my bridal party. The drummer, who you deal with in planning is fabulous, as is the rest of the band.

se for us. Sure enough they had learned the song for us and it was perfect. I wouldn't have wanted any other band.

arned a special song for the father daughter dance. I gave them a copy of the song a month before the wedding and they played it flawlessly! They have a book of songs that they know and will ask what you like so they make sure to play it. THE only thing I said was to make sure everyone danced and had a fun time and they certainly kept their end of the deal!

ktail hour until the minute the reception ended -- never any 'recorded' music; very professional to work with and created a wonderful atmosphere -- EVERYONE DANCED!

er's wedding. Skyline is amazing - so talented and fun!

er than the originals. THe fact that they have horns really fills out the sound.;I asked the emcee to introduce us a certain way, and he was very resistant in the moment to do it differently than the way he normally does it. I would make special requests prior to the wedding day to make sure everything's squared away.
