The Roof Raisers

The Roof Raisers seriously bring the party! Each band member is incredibly talented, they have a huge song list to choose from, and they know what works for a diverse crowd while keeping with the wedding theme. The singers, guitarist, and horn/sax players will come out onto the dance floor during some songs too to amp up the dancing, start a congo line, lead a line dance, whatever! They also didn't flinch when a college friend of ours asked them during the cake cutting if he could sing "Some Kind of Wonderful" with them (which was one of the highlights of the whole night!). Now, two months later, our friends still talk about how amazing our band was and how much fun they had because of the music :) Can't ask for more than that!

First of all, I have to list my bias, which is that I am a big music guy. And I have very specific ideas about what makes a good band/party in terms of the music. The Roof Raisers met and exceeded all of my expectations. First, they were very easy to work with. Gene, our contact person and drummer in the band, met with us early and discussed what we wanted from our wedding. They were willing to learn a few songs for us, and during breaks, played songs we wanted from an ipod. As for the quality of the music, the band sounded fantastic. Singers, horn players, drums, guitars, everything worked. Also, they know exactly how to get a party going. At about hour 3 of the reception, I stepped back from the dance floor and looked to see that EVERYONE was dancing and enjoying themselves. At the end of the night, there wasn't a single person that wanted the party to end, and our band was the biggest part of that. I can't thank them enough and would hire them for any other event in a second.
