March 2, 2023Vow Renewal/Wedding 12/10/22
We hired Say 80Thing for our vow renewal/wedding after we saw them at a venue we went to and knew they would be perfect. Everyone was blown away on how great the band sounded, and how well they performed the popular 80's dance hits. The music had everyone up and dancing all night long. We had so many compliments from our guests as well as the venue staff and industry people who attended. We were very happy and we definitely made the right choice in hiring this band. People are still talking about them and asking where they can see them again.
Hired as: 1980s Era Entertainment

We hired Say80Thing for our wedding reception after seeing how they had the crowd dancing at a performance at Palaia Winery. We have had tons of compliments from our wedding guests, and even other vendors, who are at weddings all the time. We keep hearing how great the band was and what a fun time everyone had on the dance floor. Thank you, Say80Thing!
