Carra and the rest of the band are so incredibly talented! They played a wide range of old and new country, and even threw in a few originals! Everyone kept coming up to us just to tell us how much they loved the band! I especially enjoyed the ...

line dancing tutorial that Carra gave, as it got even the most awkward members of my family up out of their chairs and onto the dance floor! Carra was incredibly accommodating throughout the entire process, and it took so much weight off my shoulders the day of the reception. I would recommend the South Western Stars to absolutely anyone and everyone in need of a wedding band, or even just check out one of Carra's local shows! I promise, you won't regret it!!😊 Thank you again to Carra and the rest of the band, y'all are amazing!!❤️

hat songs we liked in advance and that was great. The guests had a blast dancing, and it was so much nicer than a DJ - nothing takes the place of live music and they did not disappoint. Mamma Coal is so awesome to work with, very personal and accommodating. I highly recommend!

Wonderful to hear Jan! We loved playing the wedding. It was so neat to get the crowd dancing with just a small ensemble. We had as much fun as they did! Thank you for the review!
