Qrunch performed last weekend for a 1960's Palm Beach themed cocktail party I hosted in my backyard in Wilmette. Communication ahead of the event was smooth. They arrived early to set up, were professionally dressed, sounded amazing, and were extremely reasonably priced compared to other acts who provided me a quote. All my guests commented on how great they sounded. Several of my neighbors told me later that they enjoyed sitting out in their backyard that night and listening to Qrunch. Qrunch created the ambiance for the whole party. I would absolutely hire them again - money well spent.
