The Ray Band performed at my wedding and put on an amazing performance. All of the guests had many compliments to give throughout the night. The band did an amazing job of keeping the energy going and keeping everyone out on the dance floor. Lisa was great with communication and followed up several times before the wedding. I am so happy that I went through Reid with the booking agency when booking this band. Reid's questions were very helpful in guiding me to select the best band to match our personality and style. I would highly recommend working through Reid and the booking agency. We will definitely book through this company in the future.

Hands down one of the best parts of our wedding. From our ceremony to our last dance, they kept us and our guests entertained and just made the day so special. Lisa was so organized and on top of the details leading up to the day and the day of. After talking with Lisa, we knew we could trust them with picking songs to play and I’m so glad we did - they really kept everyone out on the dancefloor the entire evening; even our family members who don’t normally dance hah!
