Great Wedding Band!!!

Vinyl Tap played at our wedding this last September and we could not have asked for better entertainment! Everyone at the wedding had a great time dancing all night and are still raving about the band and how much fun they had. We cannot thank the guys in the band enough for making our night awesome. We would recommend Vinyl Tap in a heartbeat to anyone looking for a great party band who has great sound and can really play classic rock.
Thank you guys!
Brooke and Daniel
