Cocktail PartyReviewed on October 20, 2009From Las Vegas, NV

Rick Arroyo's band was FABULOUS!! Our group really enjoyed the Havana Nights themed reception and dinner. Rick's band added the ambiance and was the perfect addition to making this event a total hit. For the dinner we had two of the musicians play during the meal and they were awesome. I highly recommend this band for their professionalism, their talent and their likeability :) Thanks Rick!!
