I really enjoyed working with Face The Music Booking Agency. They did such a nice job, everything happened so seamlessly and they listened and provided exactly what we were looking for. I'm so happy that we chose to hire the live band, too. For me, it was the best part of the whole experience!

Brian was so responsive, flexible, thorough, and detail oriented during planning our wedding. He is a professional and went above and beyond by visiting our event site, offering to MC, sending over lengthy song lists to choose from, offering his experienced advice, and setting up our Zoom for guests who could not attend. His band Time After Time was INCREDIBLE, our whole party was on their feet dancing the entire time. Brian really has a way of feeling the crowd and knowing what to play next and MC'ing in a way that didn't take over. I can't recommend them enough, and can't wait to hire them again when we have an occasion!
