Ted - Thanks for pointing me in the direction of the Phase Band; they were great. They ended with the WFU fight song followed by my one last-minute request, Sweet Home, Alabama. Also, we appreciated the difference between Phase and Simply Irresistible the next night. It was a super weekend and I appreciate your help greatly.

Barry - The Phase band was absolutely the highlight of my wedding weekend!! Still, two weeks out, i am getting phone calls from people at my reception asking who my band was. Not a single person left the reception until the last song and the dance floor was still full!! They were so talented and entertaining! Ernest was great to work with and played every song I requested. I could not be more happy!! Thank you for the suggestion. I would recommend them for anyone!!!

Hi Ted - Thanks for following up on Phase Band. We were so happy with their performance and they did a really great job of keeping the party going and getting people up dancing. Earnest was a pleasure to work with beforehand and made arrangements for special first-dance music and kept the do-not-play requests off the song list. We appreciated their energy and hard work! - Thanks again,

We just got back from the honeymoon yesterday. The wedding was awesome. The Phase Band was really incredible. So many people came up to me and commented on how good the band was. The dance floor was packed the entire time and they just kept playing hit after hit after hit. They were incredible and totally easy to work with. Thanks so much for your help with this, it worked out really well.

Hi Ted, The Phase band was awesome! Everyone loved the music! They were extremely professional and wonderful to work with. When my dinner service ended a bit early, they were right there to accommodate me ½ hour earlier than anticipated. I really appreciated that effort as you can imagine. I was disappointed that the party broke up at about 10:15 and I didn't have the opportunity to hear more of them. The chair of our group has already asked me to keep the Phase Band in mind for next year. I would definitely recommend them to anyone who asks. Thank you for all of your hard work in dealing with my last minute panic. I look forward to working with you again soon. Best,

I wanted to get back to you thought and let you know that the band was fantastic! All I wanted to do was dance at my wedding and they went above and beyond. They were easy to work with and were such high energy. People kept telling me how great they were and the next day at brunch everyone remembered that they were called the Phase Band. They really made my wedding special. Thanks for following up.

PHASE BAND IS AMAZING!!!!!!!!!! I cannot stress that enough. They were incredibly professional and such a joy to work with. They were appreciative for a great environment and for good organization. I really enjoyed working with them every minute. The family of the bride could not have been happier, it was all together an enormous success!

Caroline

The Phase Band was absolutely the greatest! They created a party atmosphere that was electric... they were the talk of the wedding. They were able to provide music of such an incredible quality that it was enjoyed by all ages for the entire evening. They were so professional and their performance was just flat out fun!! The Phase Band was so gracious to my guests. It was truly a magic night and the Band made it happen. I could not have asked for a more perfect reception for my daughter`s wedding....thanks to the Phase Band. I could go on and on but I am sure that I have clearly communicated my feedback. I would recommend the Phase Band anytime! Thanks to East Coast entertainment also...Great Job!

I was a little hesitant to book the Phase Band at first since I had not heard them perform before, but all I can do is thank you for mentioning them to me. They are FUN FUN FUN!!! From the phone conversations before, to meeting them the day of and jamming with them at my wedding, they could not have been easier to work with. I had selected my favorite songs ahead of time and even asked them not to play certain songs, and they were more than accommodating. I actually spent the majority of my wedding up on stage with them. But seriously, so fun and energetic. We had a huge dance floor, and it was filled the entire time. I can assure you that if folks in Bertie County didn't know about the Phase Band before, then they do now. Thank you again for suggesting them to me. It truly was a wonderful experience.

We had such a wonderful wedding on July 9 for our daughter and a lot of that was due to the great musical entertainment provided by Earnest Johnson and his band: The Phase Band. They were just great and all the adults and kids were on the dance floor all night. I would not hesitate to hire them again when we move to the Charleston area and if you need a reference on them, we would be glad to furnish it.
Mary Obremskey

What an outstanding performance and effort from you all! Thanks to your hard work and impressive talents we enjoyed one of the most well received Junior-Senior events ever. You met and exceeded the expectations of the assembled crowd and for that you have our heart felt thanks. We are all still talking about the evening of great tunes, outstanding vocals, wide repertoire, costume changes (who DOES that in a 3 hour performance?!), professional style and gracious flexibility. We hope your long drive home in the wee hours was safe - again, our thanks for all the ways you delivered above and beyond on our behalf for a truly memorable evening. We hope to have a place on your 'dance card' again very very soon!

Please forgive the belated "Thank you" but Jim and I wanted you to know The Phase Band is fabulous! We had such a great time at our reception, as did all of our guests! I can't tell you how many people commented how fantastic you were and how much fun they had listening and dancing! The only problem...it went by too quickly! Thank you for learning the requested songs...they were wonderful! We very much appreciate all you did for us! It was a weekend to remember! Thank you!

American Cancer Society

I just wanted to let you know that the Phase Band was absolutely fantastic at my daughter’s reception! It was quite a great party, and, believe me, they made the party. The music they chose to play really got everyone involved, and it was so much fun... I have heard over and over again from all our guests that they were vey impressed with the band.
Diane Roseberry
Stubbs/Carroll Wedding Reception

They were great as usual!! Lots of people were dancing and I think a great time was had by all--I enjoyed every minute of it but I am glad I am now done with planning weddings - although maybe I should now go into that business.
Nancy Hall

I want to say a huge THANK YOU for helping me find the perfect band for my wedding reception last month on August 13th in Charlotte. You recommended The Phase Band and they were exactly what we were looking for. They played a variety of music that had everyone, from my grandparents to my 20-something friends, on the dance floor the entire night. Everyone thought Phase was awesome and they truly did a remarkable job.
Kristen (Gooding) Tinson

They were incredible. We had the most fun. The dance floor was packed all night! Our friends and family thoroughly enjoyed them and hated for the evening to end. They were extremely personable, very responsive to what we wanted as far as music, and kept the crowd on the dance floor.
