"We couldn't recommend Aly and the band enough, they were so friendly, professional, and are incredibly talented musicians. They handled our wonderfully chaotic crowd with ease, keeping spirits high throughout the night. Communication ahead of time was prompt and helpful, and on the day they checked in regularly and were adaptable with timings and the mood. They made our wedding so memorable, we'd like to say a huge thank you to Aly and the rest of the band. Highly recommended."
