Dollar for dollar, hiring The Band Sundance was the best decision we made in our wedding budget. The band gave us a great experience from beginning to end. We had numerous guests say we had the best or one of the best receptions they have ever attended because of the music and our dancing (obviously aided by the music). They kept asking where I found them and how much I must have paid to book them. As great as the band was, they did not detract from us as a couple. Jim and the band planned everything to cater to us. They provided a DJ for the breaks, and a few songs we wanted outside of their repertoire were played on break. They even let me sit in for a song. I found them through this site, and did a lot of other research on them before booking. We wanted a band who could provide the 1940s big band sound for swing dancing and also play contemporary rock, pop, and country with everything in between (50s, Elvis, 80s, polkas, waltzes, etc.). Moreover, we wanted a band who played both “In the Mood”and “Uptown Funk” well. Hard to find, huh? Well, here they are. They read the crowd well and knew what songs to play to keep people excited and on the dance floor. They have a full sound with keyboards, drum set, lead guitar, bass guitar, trumpet, sax, and vocals, and they blended very well as a ensemble. They helped give our reception such an amazing energy. This praise might seem effusive from anyone who has not seen them, but you cannot go wrong with these guys.

Jim, Angie, & The rest of The Band Sundance were absolutely phenomenal! They were SO quick to respond to us each and every time we had a question or concern. They even learned some new songs for our Father-Daughter dance, Mother-Son dance, and for our first dance as a married couple! They sounded fantastic too! I can't tell you how many people approached us during and after the wedding and commented on how amazing Sundance was and how they really enjoyed the music, the interaction, and all the fun the band brought to the evening! They interacted with us, our bridal party (even working them into some songs!), and with the guests, which really made for a special evening for us and our guests. They were always polite, on time, and incredibly professional! To top it off, Angie even captured much of the ceremony, toasts, and reception for us on camera/video, so we have even more memories than what the photographer could capture on his own! Having the Band Sundance play at our wedding was one of the best decisions we made planning our wedding!
