From the very start, they were communicative, helpful and SO MUCH FUN to work with. They guided me through everything, asking questions and covering bases I would have never thought of. They were complete professionals and they made me feel so comfortable that I wouldn't have to worry about one music-related thing on my wedding day - and I didn't. But you're probably wondering - are they actually any good? YES! ABSOLUTELY YES! They are amazingly talented and ridiculously fun. They read the room perfectly and knew exactly what to play to keep the party going. My guests absolutely loved them and are still talking about them. If you are looking for live music, you cannot go wrong with them.

Throughout the experience from start to finish, Ray was courteous, helpful, and professional, as we made plans. The music was beautiful and they were highly in tune with the mix of classical and modern that we were looking for. We heard so many compliments -- a real class act. 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.

It helped cheer me up, put a huge smile on my face and it made me laugh harder than I have in a long time. They did such an amazing job for adjusting to such a small change.

With the help from Jamie, I feel like every show will be just as great as their first. Congrats, Epic Productions! I will be at every show you produce!

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!

We were planning our wedding during the pandemic and things were constantly uncertain as to whether or not the wedding would be able go to on. Iman and DJ Kia had routine calls with us to check-in and offer advice. We knew we could trust their opinions and flexility during the uncertain times. On the day of the wedding, DJ Kia was so involved with every aspect of the ceremony and reception. He knew exactly what to do, when to do it, and how to make our wedding day an unforgettable experience. He literally orchestrated our ceremony processional and was making sure everything was running smoothly. Everyone felt at ease walking down the aisle because DJ Kia was there to send them off. We were lucky enough to have Iman MC our wedding, and believe us when we tell you he knows how to put on a show. The dance floor comes alive with Iman on stage and everyone was out of their seats and dancing the entire night. Our cocktail hour ended up going over schedule, which pushed back our reception. It was no worry though, because Iman was there to quickly restructure the timeline and ensure everything ran smoothly. Even with unexpected issues, we felt completely at ease knowing he had us covered. He is such a genuine person who truly cares about his client's happiness. We also used Night Owls for our video production and working with them was a truly pleasant experience. They captured every aspect of the wedding beautifully. In just a few short weeks, we had our trailer and wedding video created, both of which were edited to our liking. They were extremely patient with us throughout the process and the end result is videos we still can't stop watching! Thank you to Brandon and the team at Night Owls for all of their hard work. We also want to give a special thanks to Wake on the sax, Farzan on the drums, and Cyrus on the cello. These three gentleman made the music come alive and our guests could not stop raving about how talented they were. My wife and I still talk about just how great it was working with Exclusively Entertainment and we would absolutely recommend them for your events!
