Our entire experience with SpeechLess Music was absolutely amazing! From day 1, Scott spoke with me at length about exactly what I wanted, and they went above and beyond. They were... professional, communicative, and fun! Our situation was rather unique in that my husband and I, who had already been together for a decade, were finally "officially" blending our families, including 5 adult children. I told Scott that literally everyone at the party was either 25 or 55 and to choose the music accordingly, which is exactly what they did.
We had a trio play at our ceremony, which included accompanying our daughters who sang "To Make You Feel My Love" by Adele. They only had a few minutes to rehearse but the musicians put the girls at ease and made it sound as if they had all been practicing for weeks. During cocktail hour we had a jazz trio who knocked it out of the park and created exactly the right "vibe" that I was looking for. We had an upright bass which was the perfect elegant, jazzy, and original touch. My husband asked for a saxophone player and a keyboardist rounded it out perfectly.
After planning for a year to have a gorgeous outdoor wedding on the water, mother nature did not cooperate and it poured all day. Once we walked into the reception space, all of that disappointment melted away. The room was even better than I imagined, the band warmly welcomed us, and then the music started, and the party never stopped. In my opinion, the band makes or breaks the wedding, and these guys were amazing. They played everything I wanted and then some. They got the mood of the crowd exactly right and literally everyone was on the dance floor for hours on end. I have never seen anything like it. You would look out at the tables and only a handful of people were left. My 85 year old mother, who has never "danced on her own" as she put it, was the hit of the party and never sat down. Every one of the musicians and singers was incredibly talented and I am a tough critic! Lizje was an amazing emcee, singer, and kept the energy high for 4 hours. At the end of the night we were exhausted but so happy. At brunch the next day I heard nothing but wonderful comments about the music.
I have to say my favorite thing of all is that we had a professional videographer who put together an 8 minute "film" about the wedding. He put in so many clips of the musicians and they look like they are genuinely having a great time. Huge smiles on their faces, dancing, laughing, and enjoying being in the moment playing together. Thank you all for truly making this the best night of our lives!
