Best Addition to Any Event - Hands Down.

I've had the pleasure of having Candice Sand and her band work for me both for high-end corporate events and on the personal side more recently with my own wedding. Every event they have worked, whether for high end clients or my family and friends, I always have numerous people coming up to me asking about the band, commenting on how talented they are and saying they added so much to the atmosphere of the event. After so many years of working together, I know they are beyond talented however it is a good reminder when people volunteer that information without me asking.

On top of the talent which is obvious, Candice is also one of the easiest vendors I've ever worked with (and doing numerous events every year I have worked with MANY). Candice is well organized before the event in communications and you always feel that she cares to ensure everything is done right. On the day of, I always feel like Candice and her band are there to make my life easier. You don't even notice them come in to set up / tear down, they read the room well and easily work with venue coordinators and your schedule, making changes on the fly whenever necessary. In addition they always fit right in to the event, dressing to impress and carrying themselves professionally.

I would highly recommend Candice Sand to anyone planning an event. She is amazing in all aspects of what she does.

We cannot thank Candice Sand enough!

My husband and I booked Candice Sand for our wedding in August and do not have enough words to express our gratitude - a massive thank you is not enough! 

Candice and her band were amazing (our guests still talk about it!), and added the most amazing vibe to our evening. Not only are they exceptionally talented, Candice was beyond wonderful to work with. From initial booking essentially two years ago, through to our actual day (and all the changes in between), Candice was endlessly flexible, positive, communicative, and genuine. We want to say thank you SO much for navigating our ongoing postponements and ultimately still accommodating our day to be such an important part of it. We are so, so appreciative.

We cannot recommend Candice Sand enough and highly, highly encourage you to reach out for any upcoming weddings or events as she is exceptionally talented and truly a joy to work with!

Best. Day. Yet.

Absolutely amazing day! Candice performed at our outdoor wedding ceremony in the summer this year. We had originally planned to get married in April 2020, but everyone knows how that one ends...Candice was very flexible and professional with rescheduling. Our wedding ended up being small, intimate, and perfect for us. Candice learned a new song for my father and I to walk down the aisle too (which she sung beautifully), and blew everyone away with her performance throughout the ceremony and cocktail reception. I cannot recommend her enough, she truly is a talented artist and a lovely person!

Such a beautiful performance!

Candice was so kind and so great to work with! She was easy to reach via email during the planning process and had lots of fantastic song recommendations. We had her perform while guests were being seated for our ceremony and during the ceremony itself, however, we wish we had booked Candice for much longer! It would have been fantastic to have her perform during our dinner service too!

Her voice and guitar playing were both beautiful and her performance of songs that were sentimental to me and my husband made our ceremony so personalized and special. I highly recommend her for your wedding (or other events too!).

Elegant, Professional and Entertaining

Candice Sand Band was the cherry on our wedding. Not easy planning a Covid wedding but Candice made the entertainment portion unforgettable. Would hire their Trio for any event any day of the week. Book them !!

Amazing! The best experience!

Not only does Candice have an amazing and beautiful voice, she was so kind, responsive, organized and professional throughout.

Without hesitation, I would book Candice and her band again and highly recommend her.

Candice performed throughout our wedding (ceremony, cocktail hour and dinner) in her acoustic duo and trio. Her voice was just BEAUTIFUL; the song selections were just perfect, and everyone raved about their performance. I had a special song request and with short notice Candice and her band learned the song - and it was epic! Candice exceeded all of our expectations which were already extremely high from everything else we’d read and the videos we’d seen!

Thank you Candice for making our event so easy, enjoyable and memorable!

Fantastic Experience

What a fantastic voice! Candice is a total professional. Great to work with - always quick to respond to any inquiries I had, and best of all, guests loved her singing and total band experience. Really, we had comments after the wedding how great the band was. We would book again and also highly recommend Candice and her fellow musicians.
