I had the great fortune of stumbling upon the LaCoste band to play at my recent wedding. I had no idea who they were or hadn't heard anything about them before finding them online through the Gig Salad site. I took my chance on booking them for my wedding based on the clips I heard on their website, and the fact that they were one of the most reasonably priced band I could find in my price range for the event. I cannot describe how pleased my wife and I were with what then took place at the wedding. First of all, Mr LaCoste was most accomodating in helping suggest songs and taking requests for the band to play in the weeks leading up to the event. The band was easy to communicate with via phone and eMail, and I never had to worry one minute about any problems before the wedding day. On the wedding day itself, the band was some of the first to arrive, and got all set up and ready to go well before I had asked them to. They are pro's at playing an event like this, I could tell, and they filled in the spaces at the beginning of the ceremony with light music to keep the mood building. They even played an impromptu bridal entrance song that was most appropriate and thoughtful. But the REAL show took place once the reception began. This band played every sort of music you could imagine, for both young and old, and did them all extremely well too. There were people from all walks of life at this event, and I don't believe a single song went by without someone on the floor dancing, if not all 100+ who were at the event. They had my two early teen daughters out there dancing, which I have never seen before! Yound and old danced. Line dances, slow dances, fast dances, you name it. In addition, the band played many if not all of the requests we had made prior to the event, and did a great job all day long of engaging the audience. They even broke out a Zydeco tune! This is a full band, at least 8 members, with multiple singers, horns, arrangements styles, etc. My guests walked away thinking I had had blown out my budget by getting such a band as this to play the event. I had spoken to many music talent managers before finding this band, and had been told that I would expect to pay 4-5 times the price I wound up paying for this band. I do not know exactly why I was able to find such an accomplished group as this for the price they played for, but now that it's over and I saw just how much they added to the reception, I would say they would be worth MUCH more than I payed. This band was PERFECT for a New Orleans style wedding. All the songs you'd expect, plus anything else you could ask. They even looked the part, impeccably dressed, and with a polished look that you'd expect to see from a band playing at a major event, and not just a local wedding. I HIGHLY recommend this band, would be happy to do so in person, if anyone would like to contact me. cansdap@yahoo.com
Thank you, LaCoste band, you all were the highlight of my wedding, and I feel very fortunate that I "stumbled upon you". When I entered the ratings below, I meant every one of them. I am not a pushover for just giving out such ratings to anything, and I sincerely feel like this band deserved a 5 star rating in every one of these categories.
