Awarded Best of Zola
“I'd summarize Erica in three words: thoughtful, professional, and most importantly, talented. Erica approaches her craft with you in mind. She takes the time to listen to your wants in an effort to tailor her performance to your day. For example, Erica spent the time to discuss everything from what we wanted the day to feel like to specific song requests. We selected a song she hadn't performed (Fields of Gold by Kina Grannis). She took the time to learn the song to ensure our wedding day tracked our expectations, and she did a fantastic job to boot! From start to finish, Erica operated like a well oiled machine. She knows how to fit into your wedding timeline and who to coordinate with to ensure a smooth process — she takes this burden off your plate. For example, Erica reached out to us when she knew it was time to start discussing our music and she took the initiative to reach out to our wedding planner to coordinate everything from when she sings, the audio set up, etc. I didn't have to double check or follow up with her once, and the day went flawlessly. Lastly, and again, most importantly, Erica is an amazing singer and musician. She can sing everything from upbeat classics to the slow song you select for your first dance. Many of our guests raved about Erica and the class and charm she brought to our day. Her voice, guitar skills, and presence is of high quality, and she was a huge value add to our wedding day. I can't recommend Erica enough. If you hire her, you won't be disappointed — I promise!”

Wild Faith (Leonardo Armijo) 

5.0

  • Band or Ensemble
  • Starts at $1,888
  • Serves Salem, NM for additional fees

"My guests didn't stop raving about how awesome the band was." This is direct from a wedding client review. Our diverse repertoire allows us to help you create the perfect soundtrack for your wedding (Ask for our song list!) We are a contest winning, personable band looking to make your wedding unforgettable. We perform dozens of wedding per year. Great with all ages, special requests and have event planning experience. I'd love to provide price quotes tiered for up to a 6 piece band. That way you can find the perfect balance for your budget and music entertainment needs.

“Working with Leo was a great experience. He went above and beyond in providing me the service I had anticipated. His band Wild Faith played for my wedding reception just last weekend and they sounded great. When I first started talking with Leo about his availability he was prompt in his communication and also offered to learn new song material beyond his already extensive set list. This was what really made Leo an exceptional value to us. His offer of learning special songs for us, attention to detail, timeliness in communication as well as showing up on time at our cold and rainy outdoor ceremony site were what he delivered. His band sounded great and he also nailed everyone of our requested songs. In my opinion Leo and his band were ultimately a great fit for us. His value in comparison to other bands I spoke with was unsurpassed. It's a shame that far to often when the term wedding comes up in the hiring process, bands and other vendors seem to charge more for no other reason than the simple fact that they chose to do so. Leo did not over charge for his services and his performance was simply amazing. My guests didn't stop raving about how awesome the band was. He made our wedding special with his professionalism, kindness and the unique sound of his band. He was engaging with the crowd and I wouldn't hesitate to hire Wild Faith again for any future needs. I highly recommend talking to Leo about any live music performances you need to book. He will over deliver and you will be the beneficiary of his work.”
