Best night ever

Our experience with the trio was phenomenal from day 1. Before we even met they were professional, responsive and truly passionate and committed to creating the perfect event. It was such an amazing, high energy performance that kept everyone dancing all night long. Our guests could not stop raving about how amazing the Trio was. Everyone had an amazing time, from ages 4 to 78, and especially all of us in between ;) I have never been to a wedding where the band was so engaged and inuitive to their audience. Not only was it an amazing dance party, but their rendition of “The way you look tonight” for our first dance was breathtaking and will stay on my heart forever.

We loved the live music, it made the evening. Chance was open to the special requests we had. He was aware of where the group was at at different times and played exactly what we needed. Loved it. Thanks so much.

Excellent choice for wedding band!

We hired Chance and The Distractions (Big Deal Entertainment) for our wedding at the Fairmont Banff in August 2019 and they did a phenomenal job! They are a truly talented bunch and they knew exactly what to play to keep the dance floor packed all night! Our guests loved them and we couldn’t be happier with their service. Would definitely recommend!

Wedding entertainment!

We hired the Rowdy pianos dueling team for my daughter's wedding in September 2018 they were just excellent. They were a unique entertainment choice for a wedding reception but they sure got the crowd involved and everyone had so much fun! We had so many compliments from our guest and certainly made the wedding !

Chance plays a great show. He reads his audience well, leading you through a fun, personalized evening. I've had the pleasure of attending two weddings at which his band was booked, and they didn't disappoint. Two very different receptions and they killed it at both. I've also watched his casual performances on a live music night at a restaurant and had a great time. He really gets the crowd going, encouraging interactive felicity and gladly taking requests. Highly recommended.

This band provided great music for my wedding and they were very flexible with the repertoire! We had some specific ideas of what we wanted played and they accommodated us completely! Their repertoire was great - everyone at our wedding had fun and complimented us on our choice of band! They sounded great! All in all, I would highly recommend this band for any wedding or other type of party (e.g., corporate party)!
