Wedding ReceptionReviewed on July 18, 2015From Newark, DE

Superb! Our guests included 25+ professional musicians with university/conservatory music training. Everyone highly praised Craig Satchell’s group. Band members are excellent, enthusiastic and gracious musicians, working well together. The band became a natural extension of our reception, rather than a competing event. Craig was attentive to special requests. As master of ceremonies he was clear and gracious, directing attention where it needed to be without making himself the center of attention. Prior to booking we met with Craig at the venue where he is solo pianist. He carefully discussed our needs. Guests who talked with band members enjoyed the conversations.

Great time with the Craig Satchell Experience. The event was geared to seniors and they did a great job playing to the crowd and interacting with the seniors. Band was on time and very professional. Overall great experience.

BanquetReviewed on March 1, 2014From Galloway, NJ

This group is very talented and has a great look and sound! Even though they had an issue with transportation and we ended up with a smaller ensemble than booked, my guests didn't even notice! They commented how much they liked the sound and I got plenty of compliments for their selection. We all had a great time and the music was stellar! I would definitely hire them again. Thanks Craig!

An ensemble of exceptional musicians who both provided exactly what was requested and was excellent at reading the audience and transitioning at just the right times. Rave reviews from everyone who attended. Craig's group satisfied everyone who was at the event - a very diverse crowd! Thank you and looking forward to your next gig at Inglis!

Club EventReviewed on September 23, 2012From Buckingham, PA

The Craig Satchell Jazz Ensemble gave us a great night of Jazz, Dixieland, Swing, R&B and Motown. Everyone was quick to say what a great band they were! Everybody was out on that dance floor! Thanks again Craig for a terrific evening - Mike W. - President, Buckingham Racket Club

Wedding ReceptionReviewed on August 14, 2012From Center Valley, PA

I can't say enough! We asked Craig to play jazz atandards (like Frank Sinatra, etc) for a sit-down dinner we were having. When the band noticed everyone getting up and dancing, they easily rolled with it and picked up the pace. Soon, 90% of our attendees were on theor feet dancing! The Craig Satchell Jazz Ensemble were fabulous and I would use them again or recommend them to anyone looking for a talented, wonderful band for their event!

Wedding ReceptionReviewed on June 23, 2012From Boiling Springs, PA

Our night with The Craig Satchell Experience was positive in every way. In preparation, we were able to deal with Craig directly, and he was very professional and prompt in preparing for the event. Our wedding reception was a better event, all around, due to having such a talented, fun group to provide the musical entertainment. We had a great time dancing to such excellent music - the talent was first class all around!

The band was amazing! They had the whole school dancing and laughing and having fun for the entire two hour performance! We are hoping the school will book them again for future dances :)

Wedding CeremonyReviewed on March 23, 2012From Philadelphia, PA

I contacted a few bands on gig masters and Craig was professional from beginning to end. He was extremely accommodating when it came to my song selection and vocalist. Guests raved about the band. Live music always gives an event that something extra, and the Craig Satchell experience did just that.

Craig Satchell was very professional and responsive to calls before the event. On the day of the event he and the Jazz Ensemble members arrived early. Their performance was excellent and the crowd really enjoyed them. They were very flexible and accomodating. I highly recommend them and would hire them again.

Anniversary PartyReviewed on August 20, 2010From Elverson, PA

We booked the Craig Satchell Jazz Ensemble for our ceremony. Craig was very accommodating and professional. The day of the event, the music was more beautiful than we imagined. It literally took our breath away. The ceremony was outdoors. Our guest were blown away by the music coupled with the scenery. We were very happy with the performance! If you love jazz and want beautiful music,the Craig Satchell Ensemble is the best group for the job! Thank you again to Craig and the group for working with us.
