"Thanks Harry. You guys were awesome, you were everything we had hoped for. The beverage and food manager at The Crescent told me that he wrote a strong recommendation to the wedding staff in case other weddings needed suggestions for bands. I hope you get some more gigs out of it. You guys deserve it.
Thanks for playing and learning The Weight. That meant a lot to me.
Your band help make the wedding a huge success. If you need any recommendations from us, please send them my way."
