California Creedence
"" California Creedence " is a great band for all ages. They played at our wedding and it was a blast seeing all the people we love of all ages dancing and having a good time. They play excellent rock and country, new and classic stuff. We requested a country song for our first dance, they learned it and performed it perfectly. They are very professional to work with, showed up early and brought their own lights and sound equipment. Thanks for everything California Creedence, you made it a very special night!

Groovy Fever
"Awesome, fun band!
Sandi and her band were amazing! They were fun and engaging. Our guests were dancing and loved the song choices. The communication and concern before and after our party was greatly appreciated!"
New Moon - Duran Duran Tribute
"New Moon on Monday perfectly captured the look, energy, and iconic sound of Duran Duran… a high-voltage hit that kept our festival crowd engaged and dancing from start to finish."
Up Til Dawn Band
"Up Til Dawn was absolutely incredible!! My husband insisted that we have a band - and after watching just one promo video from Up Til Dawn we committed! Kari was extremely helpful and professional throughout the whole process. Easy to work with, answered our many questions, and encouraged us to send along any special songs we wanted played. The band not only learned all the songs, they absolutely nailed them at the wedding! The group was lovely as individuals and fit right into our day. And then there music! I was shocked to see how many people were up on their feet and not sitting - even aunts, parents, and older family friends! They made the wedding unforgettable!"
4 Lads From Liverpool
"This is the third time that we have hired 4 Lads From Liverpool and they draw the biggest crowds of any other group in Sierra Madre. They really know how to get a crowd going and having a good time.. We will most likely or hire them again next year."
Private Affair Band
"Have you ever wondered what makes a great party? We learned quickly that it is Private Affairs. We hired this band for an upscale 70th Birthday Party, and without them, this event would have been just another party. The theme was the 70s, and not only did all the band members embrace it by dressing in 70s garb, but they also embraced the spirit of the party and created the most fun and engaging atmosphere. They are consummate professionals and wonderful human beings. Their interaction with the party-goers helped make this event fun and memorable for everyone. All evening long, our guests came up to us and said things like, "What a band", and "Who are these great musicians"? If you want to elevate your event and are looking for FUN, do not hesitate to engage Private Affairs."
