Review by Kelly S.

Wedding Reception•Reviewed on October 17, 2011•From Oak Forest, IL

Elite Band was nothing short of PERFECTION!!! They helped to make our wedding day Absolutely Perfect! They made all requested accomodations, encouraged us to come listen to them live before booking, and really took the time to learn about our likes and dislikes. Ken was extrememly professional and friendly... they even personalized our day with a surprise guest singer. A HUGE thanks to Ken and the Elite Band for turning my dream wedding into a reality!

Wedding Reception•Reviewed on July 12, 2011•From Plainfield, IL

I can not say enough good things about Elite! They were absolutely fantastic. Everyone was so helpful and my questions were answered in a timely manner. I really don't know what I would have done without their input, professionalism, and knowledge of what works for receptions. I had a Vintage Hollywood themed wedding and they went above and beyond what most bands would do. They had the white dinner jackets, old fashioned microphone, and orchestra podiums which added to the overall ambiance. They assisted in getting a dinner set list that set the tone for the reception and played a wide range of music that got everyone on the dance floor! Highly Recommend!!!

Wedding Reception•Reviewed on September 27, 2011•From Oak Park, IL

Since our wedding was in a different state, and I had never used gigmasters before, I was a bit worried about how the band would turn out. I can say that my expectations were exceeded. Ken was truly professional in the weeks leading up to the wedding, and the band was great all night. We couldn't have asked for more. I highly recommend elite!
