We were thrilled with the Bluewater Kings Band for our wedding! Owen was fantastic to work with - he was prompt, organized, and enthusiastic in his communication. We splurged on adding a sax player and were so glad we did - it really brought an extra layer of talent and fun. The band absolutely nailed our preferred musical vibe. As soon as the music started, the dance floor filled up and stayed packed all night long! The set list matched our taste perfectly. The band brought a highly professional yet fun energy that kept the party going. Their musicianship was top-notch and their song selection had something for all our guests to enjoy.

Josh Staley productions was recommended twice to us - once from a friend and once from our vendor - so it was an easy decision to work with them! Brad was our DJ and kept the party going all night with people dancing and having fun. We got so many compliments about him, his energy, and his music mixing. We got married on New Years Eve so we appreciated Brad’s talented creativity on ways to bring in the New Year with our favorite songs. It was easy and fun working with him, as each prep meeting left us more and more excited for the day. We’d recommend Brad to everyone and anyone! We also got the photo booth and up lighting add ons. We went with the printed copy edition of the photo booth so it was fun getting an email with the digital gallery of all the photos in addition to a nice book with all the physical copies and notes from our guest.

He even sat down with me on the day to talk over last minute details…. it really alleviated some of my last minute nerves! He mixed up the genres so well that everyone was on the dance floor for most of the night. I would recommend Matt to anyone getting married if you can request him!!
