They were amazing!

Pete Reed and the Summer Wine did an amazing job playing for our wedding reception! They played a fun mix of Irish, swing, and folk music and it was perfect for our event! They even learned some specific songs we requested ahead of time. Very impressed by our experience with them. They were very kind people as well!! Thank you so much!
