They were absolutely wonderful! They totally blew us away. We had no issues, they were so helpful, they did such a fantastic job. I mean the dance floor was literally rocking so hard that the cake table nearby was shaking and I was holding it down for that first dance set before dinner even started! Please echo our thanks. They were fantastic so I'm really looking forward to recommending you guys and working with you again.

THESE GUYS ARE UNREAL. We had so much fun and our guests never sat down once the band started playing. They were the ultimate party band and we couldn’t have been happier to have them at our wedding. I would highly recommend for anyone looking to want to dance all night long. I’ve never heard so many complements from guests on how good they were

Mother of the BrideWow! Wow! Wow! 76 Degrees West is absolutely amazing!! We had the best time at my daughter’s wedding on Saturday and everyone was on the dance floor until the very last song! I’ve gotten many texts and calls raving about the band!!

I cannot say enough good things about this band!! Not only are they the nicest group of people, they are beyond talented! I saw them once before my daughter's wedding, and their energy is so contagious, I knew I would book them. They did not disappoint! There is not a better band out there that has their talent and level of entertainment. There was not a moment that the dance floor wasn't packed with both young and older people. I am trying to think of another reason to have a party......they are that fun! If you want your event to be the talk of your crowd and to have a crazy good time, 76 Degrees West is your band!!!!!

Mother of the BrideI wanted you to know that the band was absolutely fantastic. And if we had to give them The rating 1 to 10 it would be a a 50! There wasn’t a person that didn’t say it was the best band ever, we danced, we raged, and they could not have been any nicer. I will be filling out a full report with a glowing review. â¤ï¸â¤ï¸â¤ï¸â¤ï¸â¤ï¸â¤ï¸â¤ï¸â¤ï¸â¤ï¸

Mother of the BrideDear Leon and other 76 Degrees West band members!
You all were absolutely fantastic!! You literally rocked!
The music selections were perfect, your energy was infectious, the vocalists were amazing and the musicians played magnificently! You all were so fun to watch, sing with, dance and listen to.
We thought the entire wedding night was magical. But, without a doubt, the band drew the most compliments of every aspect of the wedding reception. This was made even more evident by the continuously empty seats at the dining tables because so many people were consistently on the dance floor.
“This is the best band ever.†“I am going to have this band at my wedding reception.†“Where did you find this band?†“Oh my gosh, they are so good!†These are but a few of the comments I continuously received through the night.
However, the two people’s opinions that mattered most were the bride and groom’s, and they thought you were phenomenal!
I have a feeling that we will be seeing you perform at more than a few future friend’s weddings! You are already booked for our friend, Hayley, whose wedding is in October. We look forward to seeing you perform again!
Thank you for helping to make Amelia and Chris’s wedding even more memorable, special and fun than we expected!
You all are the best! Many, many thanks,

Event PlannerThank you so much for the follow up and for 50th Anniversary Congratulations and the Happy Holiday’s wishes! You guys were amazing!! Everyone commented on how awesome the band was and how much they really enjoyed the party. As you could see, the dance floor stayed pretty full most of the evening right up to the very end!! Thank you all so much for being such a big part of the success of this extra special celebration! I’m hopeful that we’ll have the pleasure of working together with you all again soon!

WeddingI dont even know where to begin! 76 Degrees West was phenomenal. We booked them having never seen them perform and while that was concerning, they did not let us down. Our guests danced all night and everyone could not stop talking about how great they were. We even had many event planners in the audience who are definitely going to be looking at using them for some of their corporate events. The energy was great, the music on point and they were just great people to work with on top of it all. If I could give them 20 stars, I would.

BrideWe’re extremely happy with the performance 76 Degrees West put on for our wedding. So many of our guests said it was the best wedding dancefloor they’ve ever seen! They could read the crowd well and extended songs we were really jamming to. Fantastic music quality as well. The whole band was smiling, into it, having fun - they really killed. Thanks especially to Leon!

United Way GalaWe were so pleased with our choice of 76 Degrees West as our band for our 100th Anniversary Gala for United Way. They had so much energy they had the entire dance floor packed with people and all dancing and they never stopped playing. Everyone was so easy to work with it and they truly made our event a huge success. They are a fantastic band and they keep the party going from the minute they start. till the last song. I would bring them back for another event not a doubt in my mind.

Mother of the BrideYou played at my daughter's wedding Saturday. I'm sorry I never got to tell you how amazing you were. Thank you Leon for doing exactly what you told me at the walk through - "If people are at the wedding to dance, we will make sure it happens." So many people told me you were the best band they had ever heard at a wedding. The last song with my two daughters and new son in law on stage made the evening. Thank you again for making my daughter's wedding amazing.

WeddingAll time best party band ever. Could not have been better! I feel so lucky that my company happened to book 76 Degrees West (last minute mind you) for a party last year which is how I first heard them. They were PHENOMENAL at all stages- the ceremony ambiance they created was truly magical, the cocktail hour was lively and fun- complete with a saxophonist that walked around all throughout the museum's gallery! And the reception... WOW. It felt like our guests were at a concert! I had hyped up the band all year and they still blew me and all our guests away. People were coming up to us all night saying how much they loved the band. Our wedding was perfect from beginning to end and a large part of that is due to 76 Degrees West for giving us the party we always dreamed of. I want to do it all over again!!

WeddingWe had an absolute BLAST at the wedding. I cant stop reliving it over and over in my head. We owe a lot of that to you guys for setting the tone and bringing the party to the dance floor! We have received so many compliments about you guys and appreciate you doing such a good job and really bringing the energy! I dont think the British contingent had every seen anything quite like yall! they loved it!
Also, we have some amazing pictures of you guys playing nursery rhymes during cocktail hour while all my nieces and nephews danced around. we will send them forward!
Thanks again! I am so glad to hear you guys had fun as well.

Event PlannerI hope this email finds you well! It was an AMAZING night for the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity and 76 Degrees West is major part of that! They really did rock the house and the Alphas were sad that the night had to end when we shut down the party.
Leon and his crew were a dream to work with especially given the last minute schedules and venue requirements. We would definitely use them again in the future! Thanks for everything!

Treasury Secretary WeddingOverall I believe the event went very well and I thought the band did a good job. Our clients were very happy. … overall guests enjoyed the music and kept the dance floor fairly full. It was definitely a stressful day, so I appreciate Leon’s professionalism and ability to manage the band and changing timeline.

American’s Promise Alliance GalaNow that we are coming up for a breath of air after a hugely successful event, I wanted to send you a note of thanks. The success of Promise Night was in large part thanks to you both for arranging for 76 Degrees West to perform and have such a key role at the gala. What an amazingly talented group of musicians! I know I speak for both Donna and myself when I say that we danced ourselves silly at the end of the night. Such a great way to wrap up the evening!
I’d also like to add that working with you all - both leading up to the big day as well as during the event itself - was truly a pleasure, and I hope to have the opportunity to do so again some day soon.
Thanks again for everything!
