Unforgettable and so much fun

My now husband came up with a great phrase about some weddings – fun, but hard to remember. Music plays a huge role in this. Our story with Doctors Orders goes all the way back to February 2011, when my sister in law got married, and they had Doctor’s Orders. We got engaged in May 2018, and our first order of business was making sure we immediately booked Doctors Orders. They were SO memorable from the 2011 wedding that we STILL thought about them – and so did the entire family. As soon as we told everyone we were able to book the same band, they were exploding with excitement. Doctor’s Orders is so good that YEARS later people have still been raving about them. And, years later, at our wedding, they were so amazingly good that an engaged guest booked them the week after our wedding. They can play a huge variety of songs, they engage the crowd, they dance, and they hardly even take breaks. They are the absolute highlight of our reception. Someone even came up to me at one point and said they sound so much like the original song for so many artists they thought it was a recording before coming into the room and seeing it was the band playing. They are absolutely incredible, easy to work with, and so much fun it is impossible to forget. Our entire family is obsessed with Doctor’s Orders, and we are already looking forward to seeing them again at another family wedding in 2021. They are top notch performers – we loved every single second of out reception and we owe so much of that to the amazing music.
