We are still trying to recall our wedding day – everything is such a blur – but the band was awesome! The trumpet voluntary was perfect and everyone commented on how that really set the tone and how beautiful it was. I believe in all they ended up playing an hour longer because Charlie’s mom was having such a good time!! After the ceremony had ended we had to do our photographs, but we were within 100 feet of the deck, so it was a struggle for the photographer to keep us all still – Charlie and I were dancing the whole time. We only made it to the dance floor for our first dance (and I shared a brief “Freak Out” moment with his mom-hilarious photos of that are rolling in), but we were certainly dancing everywhere we went. All of our 220+ guests had a fabulous time and the dance floor was pretty full most of the time.

We would definitely use Baby Huey again and have actually had several people ask who they were and how to get in touch with them. There has been a lot of talk about how they were a band you could dance to and have a lot of fun with. If you’re interested, why don’t you put some of your business cards in the mail to me and we can pass them out (address below). These people are serious about their parties and good entertainment is always a must! If we have another party, they are exactly what we’d love to have again.

Thanks again very much for all of your assistance over the past few months – we pulled it off beautifully and I was and still am a very happy bride. Please pass this on to Russell and the gang – they all did a terrific job!

Baby Huey and the Babysitters knew exactly what to play ... from great jazz to swing, to learning a special first dance song for us, to their powerful soul and funk ... they’re just great ... they are the only band we considered for our wedding reception!
Mary Stuart and Tom Battle

Baby Huey was just fabulous at our daughter’s Bat Mitzvah ... they were just right for everyone from the grandparents, to the parents and especially for the kids!
The Siff Family

Just a note to let you and your band know how much my daughter and I and all the guests enjoyed your performance. Your music and selections were great and when you see so many people dance you know the band is good. Thanks for letting me play the washboard with you. That was cooked up by the bride and her younger sister, not me. I will be more than happy to reccommend your band to anyone.
Alvah Boannon

Thank you and the band for doing an excellent job at our wedding reception. Everyone loved your sound ... thanks for calling Kelly to see if she had any specific requests ... she mentioned how nice and helpful you were to her!
Sullivan Family
