Best band ever!

I have been married for over a week and I am still receiving text messages asking who my wedding band was because my guests can’t get over what a good time they had. My heart glows! My friends and family are also asking us how they can see the Cause and Effect again so we will need to hire them again for a big birthday or celebration, see them at a show case or attend your wedding when you book them! Lol. If you are on the fence about a wedding band then you are on the fence if you want to have a great party or just a gathering. We wanted a PARTY. Hiring a band makes all the difference and hiring an amazing band creates memories with your friends and family that you’ll never forget. I am grateful for how professional Vin (the band’s pianist) is and how patient he was with working through our music choices. I had spoken to other bands and I felt like the personal touch wasn’t there. When I spoke to Vin not only was the experience so personal and hands on but he also had such amazing suggestions that helped me improve my timeline and logistics that I knew that Cause and Effect was going to be great. Each band member is talented in their own regard that it’s really funny to listen to our family debate their favorite member. I’m so happy that our guests understood that we went above and beyond to find an amazing band like Cause and Effect to make the night so special for them as they came out to celebrate us when the dance floor went wild! The best part was when guests were grabbing me to chat, the band made sure I didn’t miss any songs on the dance floor. That’s exactly what I wanted. Once you’re a bride, you will understand how important this detail is. They were there to make sure me and my husband had an amazing time and we did! Our guests have been to countless weddings and everyone has agreed this band is hands down the best. P.S. Also, we had Vin play at our ceremony and cocktail hour and played songs we requested that would bring tears to your eyes. DO IT.

Amazing! Best band ever

Vin was an absolute pleasure to work with. He made the planning process easy and was helpful when it came to figuring out songs, timelines, etc. Our dance floor was PACKED the entire night and everyone danced at least once. Truly an incredible time!

Best Band Ever!

Almost a week after our daughter’s wedding we are still getting calls and messages about how amazing the band was! They were incredibly talented, fun, professional and had everyone on the dance floor! Vin was so responsive and helpful in the planning and always was helpful when we had questions. If you are looking for the perfect addition to your wedding- hire these guys! They did our ceremony and reception and made it memorable for
