“If you’re thinking about booking Redline for your wedding or, honestly, for any other event, just do it. You don’t need to keep reading; book them. If you need some more convincing, read on. In late 2021 my fiancé and I were looking for a band to play our wedding in December, 2022. Having a great, fun band was crucial to us. We came across Redline both via Instagram and via the Murray Hill talent website and we had a good feeling about them. We reached out via Murray Hill and immediately heard back from Ken. Ken was incredibly friendly in his response and sent over detail on Redline along with other bands that could potentially play for us in case we weren’t locked in on Redline. He also sent along the information for add-ons, including but not limited to uplighting, photo booths, and additional band members (you have to at least consider having someone walking around ripping the saxophone). We ended up booking Redline and the process was totally seamless; again, Ken was super helpful the whole time. We booked the cocktail duo, an 8-piece band including saxophone for the reception, and uplighting. Easy! Throughout the year, Ken was always available to field questions and would offer to have a call if it would be easier. When you’re in the middle of every other aspect of wedding planning, having someone like Ken who is organized, kind, and thoughtful makes things a LOT easier, especially if the band is important to you. All right, let’s fast forward to wedding week. We had sent over a worksheet to Ken earlier with a general outline of the night. Entrance songs, first dance song, etc. along with whether there would be a bouquet toss, cake cutting, etc. It was very detailed which will actually help you visualize how the reception will go. We walked through this with Ken step by step and worked with him to adjust accordingly. Again, with the wedding looming, this was actually a calming experience because of the confidence we had in Ken. The day of the wedding, I didn’t see Ken and the other band members until the cocktail hour because, well, you know, I was getting married. The cocktail hour duo was incredible. They set such a good vibe for the rest of the night and played a cool mix of songs. Compliments were already flowing from the guests. After the cocktail hour, Ken came to where the wedding party was getting ready for intros while guests filed into the ballroom. This was another instance of what you’re getting with Ken and the Redline crew; he worked with the wedding coordinator to get us lined up and ready, get us pumped up, and get us moving. Reception time. From the first dance I had with my now wife, to the last dance of the night (Tiny Dancer- Elton John. Yes, you were curious and yes, it was awesome) everything was perfect. The band was SO good and SO energetic. The mix of songs they played was incredible and this was a wedding where the dance floor was PACKED THE WHOLE TIME with people dancing. It was SO much fun and we still have guests complimenting how great Redline was. Following the wedding weekend, Ken reached out to us with a personalized and heartfelt note about how good of a time the band had and our overall experience together planning over the course of the year. It was just the cherry on top to what was such a wonderful experience. In summary, book Redline, just please don’t book them on the same date as whatever next big event comes my way because I want them to be there to party.”
