We planned our "kid's" wedding sort of like a committee. There were the bride and the groom, her parents, and us. After that there were approximately 160 people in attendance who are mostly quite opinionated. This Saturday evening party followed the wedding ceremony and a cocktail hour.
Our goal was simple. We wanted everyone to eat, drink, dance and have a wonderful evening that they would remember. Sometimes, I hate to say it, weddings can be rather stiff and boring. This was not going to be the case with The Instant Classics. In our planning phase, there was serous discussion as to whether we should have a live band or a DJ or both. Our wedding planner made plans to expose us to both at various weddings and parties she was doing. In terms of the live band, we had a number of very good choices. We were able to watch videos of their performances, many had websites, and then go watch them play live.
When we first saw The Instant Classics, I was already leaning toward a live band with maybe a DJ to fill in at band breaks. When we heard he Instant Classics, I knew immediately that they were my choice to help make our wedding party great. My only concern was whether or not they would be available for our event. Fate had it that they were. They were also willing to meet privately with the bride and groom at some time before the wedding to talk about what they wanted from the band. That meeting was a huge success.
The Instant Classics play a lot of different types of music under the category that I call Rock and Roll. They have an extensive song list that is forever changing to keep current but still retain great music from the past. Some of the genres we chose were Mellow, Oldies, Classic Rock, Big Rock, Funk-Disco, Dance-Hip Hop, and 90's-00's Rock.
Our collective families, although now happily living in the Phoenix area, came from Detroit. So everything Motown is large to us. As soon as all guests came into the ballroom, the band started playing. No sitting on our hands. They were beyond our expectations. The dancing started immediately and went late into the night. Nobody had to be asked to get up from their chairs. Even people who I know never dance were on the dance floor all night long. That is a huge credit to The Instant Classics. They were very warm with our guests and immediately showed that on stage via their performance and you can feel it. It was almost like a concert and dance at the same time because they were so amazing. We ended up not using a DJ. Our kids who were kind of reluctant to have a live band ended up having the best time. The thing is if you're a live band, you have to be good. The Instant Classics are way more than good. They're great!
I would highly recommend them to everyone. They certainly "bring it" and if your guests "bring it" as well, you will have the perfect evening.
