Our first End of Summer White Party event and hired Crystal Image to play for us. What a great band!! The communication leading up to the event was wonderful and the band members were great. Everyone loved the music and wants them to play again someday. We will definitely hire them again for an event.

Crystal Image could not have been more impressive. From the excellent and prompt communication right from the beginning to the amazing performance at our reception… we loved every minute of it. Their list of song choices is a mile long, and they are unbelievably fun, skilled, and talented. Also, they were so genuinely kind and caring, it felt like they were a part of our family and friends in attendance.

July 6, 2015Absolutely Blown away
I found them on Gig Salad and was a little leary as I have never hired a band. The whole group was great and made it very easy. They showed up on time and completely blew us away with their talent. We will be booking their services again. We were not expecting a Sax player and she jus rocked the house. Look forward to them again.

"I feel so lucky to have found Crystal Image to play at my 50th Hippie Birthday Party. They were so extra friendly through the whole process from agreeing on a contract, arriving timely to set up, getting my guests to dance and have fun, and packing up to leave. I feel like I made some new groovy friends. Needless to say the music was awesome and very danceable! On a scale of 1 to 10...they get a 15. Martie Goodson Sacramento, Ca

"Very professional and accommodating in all aspects of our "Christmas Barn Dance". They enjoyed our friends and let them know how much they appreciated being there. Truly a lot of fun, great Entertainers and Musicians. They play many types of music and it is all well done. I would like to add - never once was the music so loud as to overpower or interfere with the festivities. If you are torn between two bands - this is the one for you!!" Elizabeth D.
