"2013-09-05T00:00:00"^^ . . "Luke Bishop and associates--Scotty, Rham, and Andrew--at Satyr were so helpful and so much fun at our daughter Jillian's wedding in 2011 that the very first thing I thought of when my daughter Anica Rose announced her engagement was, \"I have to get Luke!\" The date, location, food--none of those things was as important to me as scheduling the event around Satyr's availability. That's how much I love and trust this group.\n\nSatyr came through for us in a big way again. Anica's 8/10/13 wedding really put the guys to the test. They provided sound equipment, processional/recessional music, and a cool confetti cannon out under our festive outdoor tent, and when a rare, intense Arizona summer microburst storm blasted the wedding, pounding the party with almost two inches of rain in an hour, which blew through the tent sideways with 50 mph wind gusts, Luke and company got soaked to the bone--and never missed a beat. They supported the wedding group and guests with panache and enthusiasm. Satyr's high spirits in what could have been a disaster helped keep the soggy guests cheerful. \n\nSatyr set up and got the reception activities going smoothly, seamlessly, and on time, looking sharp (and dry!), as if the rain storm had never occurred. Satyr not only effortlessly handles a broad range of musical tastes, but they also know how to perk up an audience. At most weddings I've been to, the guests sit listlessly and politely ignore the music. Satyr, on the other hand, gets its audiences up and dancing, and otherwise actively participating in various festivities throughout the night. Luke, Scotty, Rham, and Andrew are performers as much as organizers and emcees, singing and dancing and interacting in warm and funny ways with the guests. Someone in our group requested the music from Grease, for example, and the Satyr guys led guests through a fast, hilarious pantomime of the entire musical. We couldn't have had more fun. \n\nI give Satyr my highest recommendation. They are highly professional, knowledgeable, flexible, patient, sensitive, and personable. I can hardly wait for our son Tristan to find a significant other, just so we can have another party with Luke and the gang."^^ . "0"^^ . . "5"^^ . . "2"^^ . "3"^^ .
