The Ron Smolen Big Band / Orchestra
"Wedding October 14 2023 - University Club - Chicago, IL
Hi Ron,
I've been meaning to shoot you an email.
Thank you guys so much, we had such a wonderful time and were so happy and impressed with the music. With everything going on, there were 2 things about the wedding that made it stand out: the food and the band. Our guests loved the music and it was everything that we could have ever wanted and more.
I really meant what I said about how cool it is that you all play this music and hopefully more people my age appreciate the work that you all do. Please let me know if there is anything I can do for you. We visit Chicago pretty often so we'll keep tabs on when you play and will come say hello sometime soon.
Hope you have a happy Thanksgiving!
-Ryan & Angela"
Texas Gypsies
"In a word... FABULOUS! These guys gave us just the sound we needed for our fun Prohibition-theme wedding. It is now two weeks later, and all we keep hearing is "Man, that band was fantastic!" They are worth the asking price (which is very reasonable to begin with!) Steve Curry is a great guy and very easy to deal with. I would recommend them without any reservations."
Groove Nation Orchestra
"Dave and the band were incredible for our wedding. They had the dancefloor packed and jamming the entire time they played. Every song they played sounded great; the overall talent of the band was evident. We would HIGHLY recommend GNO for someone else's wedding, they played a great list and the special dance songs were top notch! Literally dozens of our wedding guests told us that night and the following day how awesome a band they were and how great the party was, and we completely agree! Thanks again to Dave and GNO, you guys helped make our special day even more memorable!"
Luis Alas & The All Star Funksters
"A few years ago I had reviewed Luis Alas' single, at that time I stated Luis was definitely one to keep an eye on. With his new song "You Mean Everything To Me" Luis has officially arrived. He has shown a level of musical maturity in his playing of any of the top names. He plays with intent, every note speaks and nothing is done as a filler, this is Smooth Jazz at its best. I can now say Luis is ready for the big stage and I know it won't be very long to see him at all the great festivals and events. This is a definite "must add" to any smooth jazz lover."
The Anthony S Experience
"Anthony and Jasmine was great to work with. They were on time and flexible once a torrential downpour came and we had to adjust the run of show some. They were even kind enough to let my strolling violinist use their gear when hers started acting up. I would definitely recommend them and use them again if we are back in Atlanta!"
The Kensie Jazz and Dance Band
"Perfect Jazz Band!
Secured The Kensie Jazz Band for our 30th Anniversary corporate event. From start to finish they were perfect. Perfect background music while guests are engaging in the social circuit. Perfect background music while being seated and served for dinner. The band can adjust their sound level to your preference. They play a range of music. A live band is a classy touch and adds ambience to any event rather than a standard DJ. It is a completely different vibe. Nice group of people! Good pricing as well. Thank you!"
