We are SO happy that we booked this band since we greatly feel the band choice can make or break the night of the wedding. First, Jeff Stitely is really great to work with, which is one of things that makes the band so good. He understands what each individual couple is looking for and pulls that off the night of the wedding. Leading up to the wedding it wasn't me chasing after Jeff for his time to discuss the night and timeline. He was the one calling, e-mailing, and leaving messages for me to go over everything. He was able to guide us through creating our timeline and had lots of great suggestions for songs/dances, and other events for the night. We had an east coast style wedding (dancing during dinner), so we were very concerned about that when booking a band, it takes a good band to read the crowd and pull something like that off. They did exactly that. We also gave him our budget, and he worked with us to get the most for our money. For dinner, we only had 5 people, but it sounded like a bigger band since he booked one of the singers who also plays a horn. When the official dancing started, 4 more people showed up, even though we only booked and paid for 3. JSO is accommodating, too, b/c they let both my parents sit in and play with the band at one point in the night!!! Almost all of our guests have commented on how good the band was - and they had everyone up and dancing all night long. Also, it looked and felt like the band was having a good time, which leads to good interaction between them and the guests
