Wedding Reception•Reviewed on November 4, 2010•From Corvallis, OR
Our daughter's wedding was held at the Corvallis, Oregon Country Club.She wanted a live swing/jazz style band and boy did they deliver! They were absolutely fantastic!!! Our guests wondered where we found them and commented all evening and since, how fun and great sounding they were. We had the 6 piece band and 2 singers and it was like being live at a Vegas show. They were incredible. We made all our arrangements thru Mark Haynie on behalf of Half-Pack Live via email and phone. He was so friendly, responsive and professional. He answered all my questions and had awesome suggestions for special dances, garter/bouquet toss, ect. Hire them and they won't disappoint!

What can I say except FANTASTIC-WOW! Half Pack Live was just simply FANTASTIC!Shame on you if you do not book and just love these guys and gals to bits...they were everything I wanted and MORE!I can tell you that HALF-PACK LIVE impressed me!I work with superstars from around the world-and let me tell ya they can hold their own! They were so professional, great musicians and a joy to watch…They truly entertain you and your guest thoroughly... Ole “blues eyes” and the rest of the “rat pack” gang would take their hats off to this group! Do not try and book them for the July 4th 2009 …sorry to say-I loved them so much I HAVE ALREADY have them reserved! :)

On a scale of 1 to 5, Half Pack Live was a 10! The music was fantastic! I had very high expectations and they managed to exceed my expectations. They were so talented and entertaining and really made our wedding extra special. All of our guests were telling us how much fun they had dancing at our wedding. I would highly recommend them for any event, large or small. Thanks guys!

Half-Pack LIVE did all that I'd hoped they would. Their music and style lent itself well to our 50th Anniversary celebration for our key leadership, both current and retired. They are fun, professional and easy on the eyes according to a number in attendance. I hope to use them again.

Everyone was raving about the music at our wedding! They even helped find me a violinist for the ceremony. I only wish we had been able to place the band in a more prominent area so the music could have been heard better, but that was due to restrictions at the venue. I strongly recommend Half Pack Live as a top-notch wedding band!

Half-Pack LIVE!!! was great! Everyone loved their music, they impeccably performed our "first dance" ("At Last" by Etta James), they were great about keeping the night flowing smoothly, and they were so much fun to dance to! I would hire them again in a moment and I would recommend them to anyone who wants fun, classy entertainment from a band who treats you with kindness and respect.

I'm really pleased with Half-Pack LIVE!!!'s performance on our wedding day. They created an atmosphere of elegance yet enjoyable and cozy. Many of our guests were exceedingly happy. They could sing along and dance. I heard many praises for the band. They said they've never been in an event with the band that is so alive. They are just very talented people. They are flexible and easy to work with. They're willing to provide the songs we requested that weren't in their song list. They could work with our budget. They're just the best jazz band in town!

Half-Pack LIVE!!! delivered an outstanding & memorable performance @ my mom's retirement party. The singing was fabulous & the musicians were spot on. From Frank Sinatra to Motown-they nailed every song! Half-Pack LIVE!!! were punctual, professional & personable, talking w/ guests between sets. These guys were a lot of fun! They let my dad sing a number w/ them & they danced w/ my grandma! Everyone from 7 to 83 were dancing or singing along in their seats. For incredible, professional & fabulously fun entertainment book Half-Pack LIVE!!! for your party! These guys look & sound great - you won't be disappointed. We can't wait to book them again! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Well it appears that we weren't the only ones having a great time at the retirement party! Holy cow, thank you so very much for the compliments, but honestly speaking that's just pretty much how we express our love for music and for our audiences. If we're having fun, we pretty much expect that you'll have fun too. So far, so good. Thank you once again and please, call upon us any time - we loved spending an evening with all of you.
Sincerely, Half-Pack LIVE!!!

We hired them for a wedding and had a wonderful time. They arrived on time and very not only very personable but accomidating. They set up outside and when the weather turned bad they broke down and went inside without a fuss. They even let a few of my guest sign with them! I really was happy with the preformance and their attitude and would hire them again.

Half-Pack Live was absolutley amazing! For our Annual Holiday Party I typically book a nice swing band, but his year I wanted something a little more unique and fun for our holiday party. Half-Pack Live delivered exactly that and more! Their music is a great Vegas style swing with crowd interaction, which gave the event a fantastic flare for the entire evening. They were very professional and easy to work with from start to finsh! The band went way over the top for us and helped make our event this year perfect in every way! I would highly recommend Half-Pack Live for any special occasion.
Thanks Guys!!

Half pack live! Turned our simple golf tournament award ceramony, into an absolute bash! They are the definition of entertainment, class, and talent. Golf tournaments have many awards to hand out and have many interruptions, in which they handled with total flexibility and grace. Many asked me...Where did you find these guys? Thanks Half Pack Live, you guys rock!

Thanks guys!

As an addition - we recieved this e-mail from Tabitha's Mother:
My guests raved about the music. People from another wedding down the hall wanted to crash ours, I heard.
I hope you got a bunch of contacts for further engagements. I certainly would recommend you in a heartbeat. Your suggestion to add the saxaphone was dead on perfect , thanks for recommending him.

We hired Half Pack Live to play for our parents 50th Wedding Anniversary. Everyone loved this group. The music was great. Mark and Troy were wonderful performers/singers as were their very talented musicians. What a pleasure it was to meet them all and to have them perform for our family and friends. They helped make our event the very special occasion it was and one that we all will remember. Half Pack Live comes highly recommended by this family!!!

Everyone at our event raved about the band! When I told them I found them through an Online booking agency, and had not heard them perform live - just judged their sound by their videos and audio clips - they were really impressed! We would hire Half Pack Live again for future events!
