Throughout the experience from start to finish, Ray was courteous, helpful, and professional, as we made plans.

They were also pros adapting to the space and working with everyone who was running around making things happen. We can not recommend them enough!

Rudy was amazing and by far the best communicator of any vendor we had for our wedding. Rudy would respond to any email no matter what time of day or night within minutes. He would always contact us to make sure they had everything they needed from us. This made it so easy for us, as most of the other vendors required us to contact them and would get delayed responses if at all. If you are looking for a great wedding band, fantastic music, and great communication, look no further, this will be the best decision you will make!

My E-string popped twice on me yesterday and I was fed up, so I called and they said they would replace it for me! Sure enough, I go in, am helped immediately, and they even tune my violin for me. It wasn't in perfect tune, but close enough for me to finish when I got home--and no popped string! I thought about buying a 4-pack like usual to have as back-ups, but I won't bother now. I'd rather come in and have them do it. I get nervous doing it, and now I know I can count on them for the quality service. Very nice, and for being one of the only music stores around anyway . . . but don't go to them for buying string instruments. Go to Farrell's downtown. MUCH better deals, and they really know their strings. : ) $1400 for the crap violins they sell here is ridiculous--you can pay half that for the same violin at Farrell's.

Amazed to find that the DSO hasn't shown up on Yelp yet - one of the hidden gems of the Delaware…read moreArts Community. Having had various professional affiliations with this organization over the past ten years or so, I've seen this orchestra experience remarkable growth in recent years, due in large part to the energetic and artistic leadership of conductor David Amado. I suspect most people don't even know the DSO had a national release (Telarc, I think!) recording last year with the Los Angeles Guitar Quartet. (Which was nominated for a Grammy!) They're that good! The DSO has been progressive in their programming with a nice mix of the standards, and a few out of the box productions like the orchestral scores to the Bugs Bunny cartoons - performed live WITH the films. But most importantly, the orchestra is composed of first rate musicians, performing in the historic, beautiful (though admittedly - a bit dry) hall that IS the Grand Opera House. (Worth going to a concert just to catch a glimpse of Wilmington, circa 1900!) As one who has become increasingly passionate about supporting local enterprise, be that the nearby, sustainable farms or family owned fine dining establishments, I hope more Delawareans will come to realize that they have this fine orchestra right here in town. These are difficult times for orchestras all over the country - hoping this one continues to thrive!

If you are looking for an amazing wedding band that guests will not stop talking about The Goody…read moreBlue Shoes are that band! We got married in Cape May 5 hours from where we live. An amazing live band was the most important thing we wanted at our wedding. We are fortunate to live in an area that in the summer has endless bars with live music. It is our favorite thing to do but we are also very picky. We had full intentions of hiring one of the local bands we love and having them make the trip. After one meeting with John of The Goody Blue Shoes that all changed. His energy, expertise, and good vibes are infectious. You can tell that this is more than just a job to him and he goes above and beyond to build a relationship with his clients. Even though he had other events going on we always felt like we were his only couple and he always made time for us. John goes over every detail and was almost like having a second wedding planner. His main goal is to make your wedding day perfect in any way that he can. No is not in John's vocabulary if you want something he will make it happen. We could not have been happier with the whole planning process and John made it as stress-free as possible. The band is incredible, our guests cannot stop talking about the band and how amazing they sounded. We had one guest tell us they wished they had heard them before booking their band. They said they are 300 times better than the band they hired and would have flown The Goody Blue Shoes to Maryland! Another guest told us it took him a minute to realize that it was the female vocalist who was singing during our ceremony not a recording. These are just a few of the many amazing things our guests had to say about The Goody Blue Shoes. They will learn all your first dance songs and even learned a few of our favorite songs that we love to see live. They will not just learn the songs you request but crush them and make them as special as the original versions! John is also an amazing MC, all night he keeps the party rolling and makes sure everything happens as intended. Hiring the Goody Blue Shoes was the best decision we made and we can say confidently that our wedding would not have been the same without them. Their pricing is extremely reasonable and we felt they went above and beyond what we paid them for. John, I cannot thank you and the Band enough for making our wedding night perfect. Right from the beginning we told you we wanted our wedding to be a huge party where everyone was dancing, and you exceeded all expectations. We will miss our planning calls, texts, and Zoom calls but we will definitely be partying with you guys again soon!

As for the actual music, we sent a couple ideas what we wanted the night to be like in Kia couldn't be more perfect in his effortless djing and MCing. And Farzan was a tremendous add, I am so happy We have also had him to compliment Kia. Everyone we spoke to after the wedding could not stop raving about both of them. Also both of their extremely positive attitudes was a cherry on top- they were truly a huge part of the night and couldn't have gone as smooth as it did without them.
