Wedding ReceptionReviewed on October 18, 2021From Stowe, VT

Mike and the Band are awesome! Such a perfect set up for our small wedding. Learned a tough song for our first dance and absolutely crushed it! Great vibe at cocktail hour, and awesome for dancing and drinks later. Highly complimented by all our guests.
