Sweet Something performed for our staff winter party. They were wonderful. If you are looking for a classy band, don't go any further and book Sweet Setting for your event!

I hired Sweet Something to play my wedding this past Summer. They were amazing to work with - even learned a song that me and my sweetheart love ("Dream A Little Dream of Me")! All band members were on time and were friendly and professional. Their stage presence is flawless and captivating. I'm still getting compliments on how amazing they were. Hire Sweet Something for your wedding or public event - you won't regret it!
