We found Greg and BJ at a local bridal show. We talked with them and loved what they offered. We met with them a few weeks later, and felt very comfortable. We hired them for our ceremony and reception. At our meeting before the wedding, we filled out planners for everything I wanted to happen. The day of, the ceremony went great. They played music 30 minutes before for FREE! They put mics on the Pastor and my Groom Charles so we could be heard. The music was timed perfectly. In the reception they played easy jazz music during dinner. Our dances and cake cutting went without a hitch. They then started the dance music and we had a blast! The music sounded great, and was a wide range of music to include everybody of all ages. I would recommend them to everyone. They are very good at what they do.
