Roger and his band were fantastic. The concern with anybody when hiring a band is whether they can bring the variety and quality of music from the original artists. The overall response from all of our attendees to our wedding was that Roger's team delivered grade a quality music in english and spanish. The group was great to work with and over-delivered to our expectations. Wedding, Social event, Corporate event, when your looking for a great band to kick off your celebration I put all my recommendations with Roger Velasquez and the Latin Legends.
Michelle Martinez to be!

Everyone always says that the music makes the reception. I'd like to say that this is true and my wedding reception was an absolute hit with Roger and the Latin Legends. Everyone just loved them. They're an 8 piece band that plays everything from tejano to the 60s and a bunch of party hits. They were just fabulous!
