Review by Lesa B.
Wedding Reception•Reviewed on April 26, 2022•From Georgetown, SC
Andrew Thielen "Motown" Band:
Oh thank you Lesa. What a nice review. This is great news and so helpful to us. But in order to have great reviews and terrific party at a wedding you need a great audience ready to have fun and dance. We loved watching you and the wedding party on the dance floor. This audience loved every kind of music from Motown to swing to rock and pop. The groom was a Marine and danced with his lovely bride, kids and then we witnessed one of the happiest mother/ son dances ever. It was genuine. The father of the bride was also clever and this allowed us to have a few moments of cute banter between himself and band to keep speeches and toasts entertaining.Review by Sheila C.
