Celebration Band was incredible! We were still dancing past midnight, and they nailed the couple of songs that I had requested.

Celebration is a class act!! Great dance music, very genuine band members, involvement with the wedding party and crowd, just great down home folks with the best music as far as I am concerned in this area or state. Our family has danced and enjoyed their music for many years, and never tire of it. I am so thankful that it worked out that they could play at my son's wedding. Young and old always enjoy them.

Celebration was amazing! My husband and I got married at Cuscowilla on Lake Oconee in Eatonton GA, which is a beautiful place to get married! That being said this band made the reception a party!!! They were just perfect!! And to top if all off I think the band really enjoyed themselves too! I would highly recommend them. I can't say enough wonderful things about this band. They were simply a GREAT BAND!!!!
Thanks Celebration Band for making our wedding evening perfect!

These guys were great. They played a variety of music that everyone could enjoy. As a big music fan, I can also say that you won't be getting some amateur band that would sound sloppy. These guys are professional musicians and sound awesome. I would highly recommend the Celebration band to anyone.

From the night we went to a band showcase, we knew that we had to have them at our wedding, and we are so happy that we decided to make live music a priority at our reception.They has an amazing group of people working for them. They are extremely responsive, helpful and willing to do whatever it is you'd like for your event. The band Onyx was absolutely incredible and totally made the night. They had everyone, and I mean everyone (even people we didn't think would get up from their seats) dancing, the entire night.They were absolutely wonderful, and our guests cannot stop raving about them. Everyone is still raving about how fun they were and how great the music was. I highly recommend them!

Celebration band was absolutely wonderful. They learned our first dance song, which was very different and had not been used very often as a first dance song. They asked for an itinerary for the reception, which helped everyone out knowing what was going to happen when. I have received many compliments on the Celebration band and have given out their contact info to several brides and businesses who have asked. The lead contact of the band consistently responded to my emails or voicemails. They are very flexible!!

I really cannot say enough good things about Celebration Band! They were absolutely fantastic and not only provided great music but entertained our guests so much that the party was still going on after me and my new husband left! I have recommended them to everyone because they were wonderful. We get complimented all of the time on how great our reception was and how awesome the band was. Our wedding would not have been the same without them!

Celebration played at one of my best friends weddings, they were fantastic. Everyone had an amazing time, it was all thanks to the band. They kept us dancing all night long, they kept the interest of the all guest! Very classy, but fun! I would highly recommend them and will probably book them for my very own wedding in April

Celebration Band has very professional, quality musicians. This band will keep your guest on their feet by providing great dancing music! Whatever your style of music is Celebration is able to accomodate your desire. The Bride, Groom & Guest will not want the night to end! Some of our Brides have even booked their wedding date around Celebration Band's availability.

Additional Advice

Hi, my name is Sharron Wilhelm. I will coordinate the music and details of your reception for the Celebration band. Please give me a call one month prior to the event. My home number is 478-808-2084. Here are a few items that we will need to know along with some thoughts to make your reception a success:

1. Wedding time, location and distance from the Reception Hall.

2. Approximate time the guest will arrive at the Reception location.

3. Sit down dinner or buffet?

4. Do you want CD music playing as the guests arrive or live easy listening music played by the band? We suggest a CD if you have a sit down dinner.

5. Will there be a wedding party announcement? If so we will need a typed list of names with any unusual name spelled out the way it is pronounced prior to the reception.

6. How would you like us to announce the bride and the groom (Mr. & Mrs.) for the first dance?

7. First dance-if we play a CD do you want the volume faded half way through so that you are not on the dance floor for 3 minutes? Or do you prefer full length? If we play the song live we can play a long or short version.

8. Father /Daughter dance- also, short or long version of the song?

9. Mother/Groom dance if it is done- also, short or long version of the song?

10. When will the cake be cut? This normally follows the dances.

11. Any toasts to be done during the reception?

12. Garter and bouquet toss at approximately what time?

13. Approximate time that the bride & groom will leave so that we can play "Shout" to wrap up the party before your departure! Please let us know approximately 10 minutes prior to your departure.

14. Please let the Club know where you want the band to setup.

15. As the evening progresses you might want to ask someone dim the lights directly over the "dance floor" so that people will feel relaxed to dance. If the lights are too bright some people will be shy and will not feel at ease on the dance floor and may be reluctant to party!

16. Electrical power for the band. We need two (2) lines, each 120 with 20 amps and each line should be on a “separate breaker.”

17. Our band does not require a stage. Normally it is an added expense by the venue that is not necessary; however, if you want a stage for the band please request a 16’ by 20’ stage.

18. If the event is held outside, a 20’ by 20’ tent MUST be provided for the band.

19. If there are any songs on our list that you DO NOT want us play just let us know.

These are a few of the things that you may want to consider to help make a great reception. Celebration is here to help make your day as memorable as possible.

Sharron
