September 17, 2024We had Ideldaze come for an outdoor fundraising event and they were just really really nice people! Their music hit many genres and was the perfect setting for a beer garden event. I would definitely book them again!

October 4, 2023I booked them for our grand opening, and right from the start, I knew I was in for a treat, and so were my patrons. They are so easy to work with and have a great energy throughout their performance. If I could give them 10 stars I would, I will 100% be hiring them again for my next event.
