The band was able to learn a specific song for our first dance which was one of the most important parts of the night.  We were so grateful, as we really had our heart set on that song!  The dance floor was packed with all ages.  My 10 year old niece and 80 year old grandmother dancing together is something I will never forget!

Having been to so many weddings, we had strong feelings on what we did and didn\u2019t want.  The band was receptive to our ideas but also shared some helpful tips from their experience.  It helped us create the experience we envisioned and the memories of dancing the night away will never be forgotten.  Virtue assisted us with sound and music for the ceremony and cocktail hour and when the full band kicked in, the energy was infectious.  These folks are so talented, you will not be disappointed.  Five stars!
