The music was great, exactly what I wanted for our ceremony and cocktail hour! We had a ukelele player and accordion player, and these guys can play pretty much everything I asked for. On the downside, they came unprepared when I had specifically requested a special long extension cord for the pa system due to the nature of the facility. This was pretty stressful for me, but once it all came together the music was awesome and I'd love to see them play polka sometime!
