They were the best and most entertaining band ever! Charlez was awesome and included the crowd in everything, he even got on the floor and showed his dance moves. I would highly recommend them to anyone, especially with a wedding.

I hired Z to provide the music for my daughter's wedding on 10/3/15. I could not have hand picked a better musician. My guest were all in awe of her. They commented that she was as good as Kenny G. Thanks Z and the Party Faktory and Gigsalad for connecting us.
