Comments by Soul Session Family Members
We are no longer at the Washington Inn. We are playing Madison Square Garden!!!" For us, it was a no brainer to hire Garland and the Soul Session superstars, me personally as a long time member of this epic extended musical family.
We wouldn't have trusted anyone else with the tall task of unmatched musical talent, MCing, managing the entire reception flow, technical skill/production and throwing the party of our lives! And G and the band delivered beyond measure. Our special crowd of Saratoga family musicians participated in the evening tastefully but really all got to relax, celebrate with us, and enjoy just being straight up entertained by loving, talented professionals.
G was with us throughout the entire lead up to the wedding to accommodate our special song requests (endless thanks to the band for learning them), handle the ceremony sound (G made an EXTRA trip to our venue to ensure we had sound at the rehearsal!), make sure we were both feeling comfortable with the plans and "ready to blow it up," and even pulled off a secret musical surprise from me to the groom on the night of.
Sheer perfection, and we will be forever grateful. Best in the business, plain and simple! We love you G!!!!
