Definitely recommend sensation band and dj combo!!!" Based in Memphis, Tennessee wedding Photo of Princess Baker Princess Baker "Has a solid song with enough genuine music that tells a out true love and feelings ." Based in Memphis, Tennessee Princess Ella Baker Photo of OPOV Band OPOV Band "Fundraising Ball for Easterseals of the Birmingham Area OPOV was amazing!! They exceeded my expectations and I have high expectations!! I am the Director of Development for a nonprofit in Birmingham, we had our annual fundraising ball at a club in Birmingham and we wanted an exceptional band for our event. OPOV really made the whole experience! The crowd was on the dance floor ALL NIGHT, they were like a well-greased machine knowing what song to play next and keep the party alive. You will get your money worth when you hire OPOV! They were also SO EASY to communicate with, answers on the spot and even scheduled times to talk to me -- like I said, I have high expectations and they met them all!! Also, our event was a Mardi Gras Ball, so the band dressed in theme!"
