White Chocolate

Artist ID: 5932

Reading band bios can be a tiresome task. The musical options may seem endless and after a while tend to sound very much the same. If this seems familiar, we understand and have made the White Chocolate Band Biography as concise as possible for you. We know if you are interested in what we have to offer, you'll ask your entertainment consultant more questions about us. Sound good? Great. Let's get started.

The Basic Facts

Since 2003, our fun, versatile band based in Charlotte, NC has performed at private events, wedding receptions, corporate events, fundraisers, colleges, concerts, festivals, Alive After Five events and nightclubs throughout the Carolinas, Georgia, Virginia and Tennessee. In 2010, we were honored to receive an award from The Knot, the internet's most popular wedding website. WCB was one of only 10 bands to receive a Knot Best In Weddings Pick award for demonstrating excellence in providing music and entertainment to the wedding market. Actual Knot brides voted for their favorites ensuring that the process was unbiased and fair.

Our Music

One word sums up our musical approach: variety. Easy to say, much harder to pull off. Our extensive song list has something for every musical taste. From upscale, classy material like Frank Sinatra and Tony Bennett to blow the roof off tunes from Kool and The Gang and The Black Eyed Peas, WCB customizes their music to fit your audience. Take a look at the song list and you'll see that it's all there....... Classic Rock, Funk, Big '80's, Disco, Beach, Motown, Acoustic Favorites and much more.

Our Approach

White Chocolate is committed to delivering a great live music experience. While any group can show up and play, it is a much different thing when a group entertains, plays great music, makes the audience feel appreciated and takes an event to a higher level of fun and excitement. Only the best and most talented groups can achieve the latter. WCB also strives to deliver the most music and entertainment possible through the use of medley's, longer sets and unique audience participation segments. Bottom line, the band loves to play and it shows.

The White Chocolate Difference

Any band that has been together for years has experience. In that regard, WCB stands along with the top groups in the industry. But, the White Chocolate Difference means that we use our extensive experience to provide a higher level of support to our clients. To help our clients achieve their goals in staging a perfect event, WCB provides assistance seldom seen in the entertainment industry. With our helpful Wedding Reception Checklist, Event Planning Checklist, Coordinator Help Checklist and Event Planning F.A.Q. every facet of your event is taken into consideration. No detail is left out and no question is left unanswered. We put our extensive experience to work for you eliminating any stress associated with the planning of your event.

What You Can Expect When You Book WCB

White Chocolate will emcee your event making sure that everything flows smoothly and on schedule. Everything from the introduction of your bridal party, cake cutting and toasts to your departure is announced professionally and musically enhanced in a tasteful manner. Furthermore, the band pays strict attention to event etiquette, sound volume, proper lighting and stage attire to complete an unmatched package that is sure to satisfy any audience.

Also, with space being a concern at many events, the benefits of hiring a 4 piece band are readily apparent. Since the mid 2000's, event size and room size have trended toward smaller facilities in many cases. With White Chocolate you and your guests can enjoy the excitement that only live music can provide and still have ample space for your event. The ability to utilize a smaller space provides you with many more options when looking for a venue for your event.

Last, but certainly not least, you and your guests can expect to have a great time when you make the decision to have White Chocolate provide music and entertainment for your function. Thanks for your consideration. We hope you'll contact your entertainment consultant to learn more about the White Chocolate Band.

I am so sorry for not getting back to you!!! I'll be completely honest...Because of my busy career as a Physician Assistant, extended honeymoon out of the country, & a bit of chaos in my since a car accident totaling my car, I have been really bad about responding to personal emails in the last month! Again, I'm so sorry, and was just thinking to myself the other day how I wanted to write back to you to tell you HOW WONDERFUL White Chocolate was!!

My husband and I, plus family members, wedding party, & I strongly believe all guests in attendance at our wedding, would definitely give them an EXCELLENT, OUTSTANDING review!!!! They were absolutely wonderful and made the evening a perfect one!!! All band members were very well-dressed, happy & smiling, so much fun yet very tasteful, and extremely talented!! We knew from other reviews (and yourself) that they were a talented group vocally and instrumentally, but their musical abilities went far above & beyond our expectations!!!!! For weeks now after the wedding, we continue to get lots of compliments on great the band was...how amazing the guitarist was, etc.!!

As you may or may not know, our 1 song request we REALLY wanted played at our wedding was Journey's "Don't Stop Believing!," my husband's all-time favorite song!! Frank Adams was honest with me upfront & told me ahead of time this song was too vocally challenging for most bands... he apologized that they wouldn't be able to perform it. To my husband & I's surprise at the wedding reception, the band performed it with a brilliant twist of involving the guests to help sing the words!!! Words can't describe how much fun that was, & how incredibly happy that made us!!! The last song of the night, the band members wrapped their guitars around Brandon & I's neck & let us take a turn! It was awesome!! :)

On a side note, I communicated with Frank Adams via email several times before the wedding, & in person the night of the wedding. He was such a nice, professional, easy person to work with!! He sent me the most sincere emails, before & after the wedding, and was SO VERY accomodating to my husband & I's music requests!! He truly makes that band!! I certainly hope I'll have another function in the future where I can utilize his band again!!!

Please feel free to post any of my positive words on your website!! Take care & Happy Holidays!!

The wedding went great this weekend and "all their dreams came true!" The band was awesome!! We really enjoyed working with them and Caroline and her family were very pleased. They did an awesome job with interacting with the crowd,especially towards the end when they came off the stage area and moved thru the crowd with their instruments.

Hi frank and the greatest band in the world! We just wanted to say thank you so much for making our wedding day so special. People can't stop talking about how phenomenal you were and how they couldn't believe you played the entire night with only one break! I can't imagine having anyone else and I will always highly recommend you for your kindness and your amazing musical talents. It was absolutely perfect! Valerie and Noah
Valerie Alva

I never appreciated how much a band can set the tone of a party until our daughter's wedding. White Chocolate made our wedding reception an absolute blast and true celebration of family and friends. Right after Katy booked the church and club, she booked you! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for a truly perfect day
Allison and Reed O'Brien

You guys rocked the house last week! Thanks for being a part of our wedding celebration. Every time somebody mentions the wedding the first thing they say is "White Chocolate was the best!".
Andy & Tracy

Danny and I wanted to thank you for an AWESOME performance at our wedding reception. We especially wanted to thank you for learning and doing such a great performance of our first dance song - it was so special! When we first started wedding planning, one of our main wishes was to give everyone a great party and to get people dancing - and we loved that you guys made that happen. I've never seen a dance floor in Rockingham County that engergized! Several of our friends have told us how much they loved the song selections, especially the shift into 80's and 90's music as the night progressed (Hey Ya! was an especially big hit) and have told me that they will want to get in touch with you all whenever they plan their weddings! We hope they do - we had an AMAZING time and would love to hear you again. Again, many, many thanks for an unforgettable evening - we didn't want it to end!
Alexandra Dodson Cavanaugh

As a wedding coordinator, I only ask that the musicians be talented and gracious and that the families I work for have the time of their lives. Well, you were and they did. Thanks for your warmth and kindness to me and to the family. The bride said that so many people were talking about how great the band was. I am sure you could tell by how much fun they were having. I do hope to work with you again very soon.

White Chocolate was GREAT!!! I have heard only rave reviews from all our guests. The band sounded fantastic and the participation with the guests was great without being too much of an act. I had so many people ask about them and I wouldn't be surprised if they get some jobs from guests at our wedding. Thanks for making this FUN. I would recommend them again and again.
Charlene Benton

White Chocolate was the best decision we made during the wedding planning process! The communication was easy and straightforward and yet they allowed us to customize our event with learning a new song and an introduction prior to the start of dinner. As we were running late, they were willing to play straight through without any breaks which allowed us to really get to the heart of their great music. Thank you, thank you!
Chris and Melissa Pluchos

Frank and the gang, You guys were AWESOME! and next year's KA grads from Elon are already talking about a repeat. All the guests, young and old, raved about the band and how perfect White Chocolate was for the afternoon graduation party. A warning to all....if you get White Chocolate you get MORE COWBELL!
Mike Sewell

White Chocolate was all we could have hoped for and more. Picking a wedding band is tough because you don't know what you're going to get and you want a band that's easy to deal with. White Chocolate is an awesome band! They played every song to perfection and got everyone involved. We literally told them where to show up and they took care of the rest. Whether it was the way they slowed down "crazy love" for our first dance or when they let my good friend sing "johnny be good" (on the fly, I might add), White Chocolate was everything I envisioned the ideal wedding band to be. We could not have made a better choice. PERIOD. Trust me on this one, if a great band that will get everyone involved and MAKE your wedding reception is what you are looking for, look no further. White Chocolate is your band. Thank you White Chocolate!
Jonathan and Stephanie Yarborough

White Chocolate was absolutely wonderful!!!! They learned our first dance song, “Grow Old With You” by Adam Sandler, and performed it perfectly. They even made the comment that it was the best first dance song they had ever done. They were professional and needed no direction from me. They played all the songs I wanted and my favorite part of the reception (besides the first dance) was the end of the night when the band cut loose and everyone was dancing!! We had such a great time. The next day at the brunch everyone was talking about how great the band was and we totally agree! I just wish I could have danced longer into the night, but the party does have to end! I would use them again and again for any event and I will highly recommend them to anyone who is looking for an entertaining band!
Lisa and Eric

We totally enjoyed you guys and had a fabulous time. We got many, many compliments on the band that night and in the days after. Great song selections, great vibe, great players. I guess there's no better way to compliment a band than to recognize the fact that the bride and groom stayed and danced until well after 1 am! Thank you so much for your positive attitude and professionalism. You made our wedding memorable and so much fun. When people stay and dance until 2:00am it really says something. We will tell anyone in need of a great band about our special experience with White Chocolate. Thanks again for a great night!
Dave and Daria Purdue

The best party we've had in 20 years! Thank you White Chocolate!
Keith Stubbs
Manager, Cheraw Country Club

Thank you guys for a tremendous hit of an evening! Your ability to interact with the crowd and get people involved was a highlight of the evening. The music mix was outstanding. The energy and enthusiasm from your guys was electric. You'll be back many, many times if I have anything to do with it!

Broker In Charge, Seabrook Island Realty

To all potential party planners! Take no hesitation in choosing the talent, White Chocolate. I booked this band for a very important occasion, my daughter's wedding reception. I can say with all honesty, they were excellent and easy to work with! We had guests that ranged in age from 18 to 80 and WCB played music that appealed to all! Not only did they rock but they also interacted with our guests in a manner that kept the evening lively and fun. They know how to have a good time and your guests will have a great time! It is my pleasure to give this group a 5 star recommendation!
