This is the email I sent to Ray after my wedding to thank the band! They are all so talented and I am so happy I was able to book them for my wedding! " Dear Ray, We had to send an email to rave about your band. First of all, thank you for being so responsive and easy to work with throughout the planning process. You really made everything so smooth and stress-free, you were very reliable, and I knew I could trust you with the last minute changes.
Second of all, I have never had so much fun at a wedding in my life (granted I am a little biased). Your band had EVERYONE (old and young) on the dance floor from start to finish! Even during intermission, people were STILL on the dance floor waiting for the band to come back! Third- the vocalists and musicians were fantastic! We were blown away by the range of talents, and loved how they alternated lead singers for different songs.
From the rapping to the ballads, the Connexion band covered it all! Fourth- We loved the songs that the band played! We appreciated the mix of old and new! I can't tell you how many people have also complimented the band. We have been receiving texts/phone calls from people asking the name of your band and how we found you guys (we originally saw your band at someone else's wedding and knew we had to have you for ours). Last- We honestly cannot thank you and all the members of the band enough. You made the day so special and one we will always think back on and smile about."

We hired the Connexion band for our wedding this August and it was the BEST decision. The band really lit up the evening with their lively spirits and choice of music. Their voices were not only impressive but the variety of genres they could sing was very remarkable. Their leader Ray was very helpful and responsive to our specific needs. He gladly set up speakers on our second floor dinner space for our dinner music.
He accommodated our request for "tropical" themed dinner music as well. The band gladly embraced our tropical theme and wore flower leis like the rest of the guests. Overall they were a joy to work with and we loved listening to them. We still are receiving compliments from guests, "The band was great!" 10/10 recommend if you want your music and reception to be a night to remember!

The Connexion Band performed at our wedding in September 2019 - it's December and we're still getting compliments on how great the band was! They were professional, polished, energetic, and they sounded amazing! They cover a wide range of musical genres and know how to plan out a set list that really keeps people dancing all night. The band manager, Ray, was great to work with and all our special requests were accommodated. We would hire them again in a heartbeat!

We hired the Connexion Band for our wedding in October 2018 and it was the best decision we ever made! A disclaimer, I already knew how good the band was because they had performed at my sister's wedding and another family party in the past, so basically the day I set my wedding date, I inquired about booking them because I knew I just had to have them!
Communication with Ray was always easy, fast & pleasant. The MC did a great job tailoring the night to our needs even with some last minute changes. But the BEST part was the music! We still get guests reaching out to us saying, "Man that band was incredible!" They feed off the energy and played songs to get people moving plus the few specific songs I requested ahead of time.
They are worth every penny, it is almost like you are at a concert, no joke. They have male & female vocalists so they can cover such a crazy range of songs. I live for live music and the Connexion Band never disappoints and made my wedding so much more awesome & enjoyable for everyone. Their talent is unreal. Don't hesitate, book 'em!

If we could give Ray and the Connexion Band ten stars, we would. From start to finish, a professional, FUN experience. Contract was straightforward, pricing more than competitive. Night of the reception they we phenomenal. Every age group was dancing. ALL NIGHT LONG. I don't think there was a time when the dance floor was empty the entire night. The music was excellent. Went above and beyond. Allowed a few people to sing a little---nice touch. Really related to our group. Highly recommend. We will use them again.
