We had such a blast with Velvet city Sound playing for our wedding! We had a live pianist play our ceremony, a DJ covered the cocktail hour, and a 4 piece band played our reception - all through VCS! Every musician was amazingly talented and as a group they served as fantastic emcees. My husband and I are musicians ourselves, so it was both important and meaningful to us that we had live music for our wedding. VCS drew our attention with all of the options and talent that they could provide and sold us on their huge array of songs that we could select from. There is truly something for everyone in their songlist and they still have flexibility to work on other songs for you should you want something specific for your ceremony, special dances, etc. An incredible example of that was my "walk down the aisle" song. My husband wrote a song for me when we first started dating and I dreamed of walking down the aisle to it. We reached out to our VCS manager with the idea and provided written chords/score and an audio recording. They agreed and spent the time learning the song on piano so that we could have this magical moment on our big day - it was AMAZING! Another magical moment occurred during our reception, when we'd prearranged for my husband to join the band for a song that he played with a restaurant band on one of our first dates. He borrowed one of their guitars and they gave him the main microphone to lead the song. It was so wonderfully HIM and it brought the house down! We can't thank VCS enough for letting us join them and add some special moments to their typical plan/setup. I also want to highlight their flexibility. Not only were they adaptive throughout the event as the schedule changed and they were forced to do some things on the fly, but they also made some major, spontaneous concessions that were unexpected. Unfortunately there was a power outage affecting our wedding venue on the weekend of our wedding. This meant that not only would our wedding now have to take place outside in the July heat, but there would be no power for speakers, keyboards, amps, or any electrical equipment the band would use. The band manager worked closely with my mom and our wedding coordinator to workshop new ideas to still pull off the music for our wedding and went to great lengths to acquire a generator (hours before our wedding!) so that we could still use all of the equipment. Fate would have it that the power came back a couple of hours before the wedding so we returned to our original plans, but VCS undoubtedly went above and beyond to make sure that our wedding happened no matter what! Our guests raved about how fun it was to dance all night long with a live band and they certainly kept our dance floor packed until closing time! I cannot recommend a live band enough, and if you are leaning that direction - Velvet City Sound is the way to go!

As a wedding planner, we have extremely high expectations, and Velvet City Sound far exceeded them! We worked our first wedding with them yesterday and couldn't wait to add them to our list of recommended vendors! They are communicative, flexible, team players, professional and extremely talented! Special shoutout to one of the lead vocalists, Sarah, who had the most amazing voice! All of the vendors and guests were raving about them the entire evening! We highly recommend them for your wedding or event and cannot wait to work with with them again soon!

Nick Bryant was so great to work with. Work is the wrong word as he made this so easy for us. Our event was a wedding reception for our daughter. She's our only child so we've never planned an event like this before. I researched several bands and found VCS. Our event was on New Years Eve in Mobile, AL. VCS traveled to Mobile and had everything ready to go when we arrived at The Bragg-Mitchell Mansion for the reception. One of the classiest moments was walking in the cocktail hour and hearing the piano and saxophone playing for our guest as they entered the reception, ate and had a few warmup drinks. The reception then moved outside to where we had a tent and the full band playing. We went with the six-piece band. Saxophone and female vocal are definitely recommended for an add on. VCS kept the dance floor full the entire night. Many guests asked us who this band was and how we found them. VCS far exceeded our expectations and I highly recommend them for any event where you may need a band. Oh, and the night ended with a fantastic playing of Sweet Home Alabama. Thank you, Nick and VCS!
