February 20, 2018First Time - Glad that I Picked this Band
I was impressed all around with the band's professionalism, sound, variety of music and flexibility. Initially, there was a discrepancy over the price, but Ms. Sabrina was patient with me, accommodating and did not leave us without entertainment during our celebration. Many guests asked how I found out about Red Sahara, because they were so very entertaining and had a great sound. Even though my event ran very late, I could still hear Red Sahara playing music, they were on-time for set-up, and did not take a break until the very end of our celebration so that we could receive the most music and entertainment during our celebration. Thank you, Thank you Red Sahara for adding the finishing touches to our celebration. Please feel free to use me as a reference. You have my contact information.
