“” ★★★★★
“Vintage Blue played at my wedding and as soon as they started performing I knew I had chosen the right band. They had to perform outside in rather chilly temperatures but the sound was up to recording standards. They provided a nice background music for everyone to listen, have a chat, and just relax to and it was exactly the atmosphere I wanted for my reception. Thank you once again for your great contribution to my special day.”
