We wanted a real band with chemistry and original songs that could show us a funky good time, and Captain Buckles delivered. They were super flexible in putting together a perfect package for our wedding, including a great jazz trio, and took specific requests like adding horns to the band and even some last-minute song requests. Having one contact for our cocktail hour, main band, and sound system made planning easy and seamless. They also provided mics and sound for our officiant and seamlessly cued up songs from our device for the processional and first dance. We sent a list of songs we liked, and they used that to craft a dynamic set, mixing in some of their great originals and keeping the party going. It was great communicating with the band as they were super responsive and easy to work with. Don’t hesitate to book Captain Buckles for your event! We can’t wait to see them again someday!
