Bottom line: It has been two weeks since the wedding and we are still getting feedback telling us how great the Wedding Crashers were. They sounded amazing, they picked great songs... that pleased everyone, and really elevated the event.
We didn’t provide a specific list of songs to play or to avoid, and the band masterfully read the room and struck a balance between classics, 70s, 80s, 90s, and 2000s that was nailed down to an art. The dance floor was alive during the entire time. All our parents - with very different musical tastes - were happy, and so were all of our friends.
Even though the venue was on the smaller side, the sound was crisp, clean, clear and not overwhelming. At no point did I feel that the drums were too much, or that the bass was overtaking everything, and the great sound quality helped a lot to bring and to keep people on the dance floor.
The Jazz Quartet got great reviews as well, everyone said it set a wonderful tone for the cocktail hour.
The staff at Sumar are great communicators, and were patient while answering all our questions. They didn’t mind when we changed plans several times, and worked with us even if we did things at the last minute.
Final quote from the best man (who is also a drummer), during the event: “I’m torn between dancing with you and just standing at the front and watching them play”. True story.
