Wedding ReceptionOur staff at White Tent Event can't say enough good things about you guys. As event planner, we have heard and contracted with many bands and DJs through the years. I can honestly say Orquesta Mayor is one of WTE's favorites on our "Best" list. I think we enjoyed your music as much as all the guests. We appreciated your cooperative spirit from the time we contacted with you. Also, your DJ couldn't have been better? You really helped make the evening a big success. Several times I saw the waiters and waitresses dancing down the hall! How could anyone not want to dance with the terrific singing and hot Salsa music your group produced. We have already told so many people about you. I hope we will have the opportunity to work with you again real soon.
