Brought our Wedding to the next level! Great Performance

After a lengthy online search we decided to go with Candice Sand Live for our wedding entertainment. Her video demo's and musical style were exactly what we were looking for and we definitely made the right choice!

Engaging and coordinating details & logistics with Candice was also stress-free during this stressful planning phase of our wedding prep. She also offers many different performance packages for all budget ranges and has a long list of available songs to choose from. She also offered to learn a special song for us and made it a totally customizable event.

Thank you Candice Sand and team for the wonderful performance and making our wedding day one we will never forget!

Amazing performance for our perfect day!

Candice and her band were amazing!! We hired them to play our ceremony and our reception and it was one of the best decisions we made! The band was friendly, on time and professional and worked with us to make sure the music that was played was exactly what we wanted! They kept the party going and people were on the dance floor until we were asked to leave the venue! It was also really great that they had DJ services during the dinner and in between sets! We couldn't have asked for more! Thank you so much Candice you guys were amazing! :)

Simply amazing!

Candice performed at our wedding, both ceremony and reception this past weekend and she was perfection. Candice is such a lovely person and so easy to work with and very accommodating. We found her videos on Youtube and thought she was fantastic. Seeing and hearing her perform live there is no comparison. She is simply amazing. Her voice fit not just our venue but the look and feel we were going for. If you haven't hired your wedding entertainment yet you absolutely must hire Candice and her band. It was one of the best decisions we made!

Classy Live Entertainment

We had Candice Sand and her band as a Trio at our wedding during cocktails and dinner and it was exactly what we wanted. They were very classy and played music that everyone enjoyed. I would definitely recommend Candice Sand for any event, they were excellent and fit right into our budget!

Candice has the most amazing voice and was able to fade with grace from one song to another song during the wedding ceremony. She is so nice to deal with and very professional. The setup from the ceremony to the cocktail hour was flawless. We had so many compliments on her and Neil the guitar player. My only regret was that we didn't hire her whole band for the entire night. I would recommend her in a heartbeat.

Candice and her band did such a phenomenal job performing at our wedding! We were so pleased and our guests raved for days after about how lovely their sound was and how on point their song selections were. We also had Candice perform during the ceremony & it was amazing! She performed the song we chose with so much soul and feeling, it really added to the special moment. My husband and I highly recommend Candice and her band! She is also very professional and responded to my e-mails with urgency. Thank you Candice!!

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!
