Clare is flying today but once situated I’m sure she will respond but I’m going to jump in there. JCrewe & The Band was ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE,OUTSTANDING, PHENOMENAL and any other adjective and adverb I can possibly come up with. I chatted with all of them prior to the wedding when they were eating. Everyone in the band was engaging and delightful to chat with. Found out that one of the band members was a &order Marine like myself and we bonded immediately. Hayward could not have been more gracious and accommodating. The song sets were phenomenal and he came out in the middle of dance floor and just whaled on his trumpet and motivated the entire crowd. The young female singer was outstanding and just watching the passion of how she sang was a sidebar treat for all. Everyone commented on just how great the band was and we’re talking them up for future engagements. Watching them entertain and watching the genuine passion and intensity in their in performance was wonderful. Mason to say they were incredible and outstanding is certainly pale in comparison to how they showed, PHENOMENAL!!! I’m confident Clare will follow up as well once their poolside in St. Lucia. Please share my comments with Heywood, he was a consummate professional and just an all around “Great Guy “.

Mother of the Bride

Everyone had a fantastic time! We loved them. Their song selection and sound were great and the way they interacted with the “crowd” was impressive. At one point, one of my friends was pointing at the tables (we had about 120 people) said “Look!” and no one was sitting down. Practically everyone was on the dance floor. Highly recommend.

Haywood and his krewe are fantastic. I was very pleased with their depth of talent and great presentation. They started low key as we asked during dinner then brought up the tempo to get us on the floor. Our tables were empty and our members and guests were hopping to beautiful music. Haywood brought a mix that pleased all and transitioned flawlessly from one song to the next. They even took a brief break and nobody left the room waiting for them to return and get us going again. Book em while you can.

OMG The Krewe was amazing!! We all had so much fun! I never ate any of the food, they started playing and I thought to myself...after this song I'm going to eat, and then another good song and another and I missed all the food...haha! I did not even care, they were so good! Kaitlin and Will were on the dance floor the whole time too and my husband. It was great!! Everybody loved them, they should be your number 1 recommendation!!!

The Krewe was AMAZING!! They sounded fantastic and were so high energy. They really kept the party going the whole night — all of our guests kept telling us how much they loved the band! They absolutely made the reception.

The Krewe exceeded our expectations!! Even after seeing them at Drake’s wedding :). We had a phenomenal time and were out dancing all night. We heard from many of our guests that it was the best wedding band and dance floor they had ever seen. We will definitely refer our friends your way when they are planning events. Thank you for being wonderful to work with!

We had an AMAZING time with The Krewe, they were a huge hit with us and all of our guests. I would definitely recommend them to anyone who needed a band. The price was right and they really brought the party from audience interaction to the bubble machine. We cannot say enough good things about them.

The Krewe were incredible and Haywood was both a pleasure to work with and an awesome dude. Thanks so much for coordinating that; the wedding couldn't have gone better and music is always a huge part in that. Would definitely recommend working with ECE and The Krewe again.

The Krewe and Mr. Haywood were unbelievable.. They made the wedding , the weather was perfect and the night was magical.. They provided music the whole night and they were so good.. Everyone is still talking about them.. Everyone was so friendly and kind..Taylor and Dan loved them and they played all the music they requested. I will definitely use them again for my other daughter's wedding some day…She needs to find a boyfriend first so I have some time

Mother of the Bride

The Krewe was amazing! They did an awesome job at my daughter's wedding! The music was just what she had asked for. The band was professional and polite. And they learned 3 new songs for the wedding. We ordered the horns as an extra and were so happy with our decision! Haywood and his group come HIGHLY recommended from our family! We loved them

Groom

Thank you for everything you’ve done to help connect me with The Krewe. They were absolutely amazing! Sarah and I are driving home from our honeymoon now reflecting on how great everything has been and how awesome the band was. I loved their enthusiasm, the instrumentation, and the way they interacted with the crowd. I loved how they would enter the crowd and wander around during the performance. The singers would come out into the crowd and when the horns would come out it just made all the dancing that much more fun. And a big thanks for letting my band perform a few songs!

Wedding

Thank you very much, we had such a great time and the Krewe was on another level. They were incredibly talented in their music, professional in dealing with me (they basically took the reigns with limited input/guidance and ran that reception perfectly) and they were very engaged with the crowd - everyone loved them. Thank you for your help in getting them set up, we'll make sure to pass you and the Krewe along to as many people as we can.
