As a professional wedding coordinator now 29 years, I was almost dreading the privilege of planning a wedding for my favorite sister-in-law Paula. It's hard to be both detached professional and involved personally. As much as I wanted to enjoy the event, I knew there were expectations of my ability "to deliver a good party" based on my experience.The band makes or breaks a wedding reception.
In spite of the muggiest environment I've ever survived and the minor complications that come with a destination wedding, the reception was a Level 10 success. Why? Two words: "The Plaintiffs."
Your group of musicians were the complete package: friendly, on-time, flexible, incredibly talented and kept smiling even when the the heat was nearly unbearable. Your ability to "just do it," set a tone for the guests and soon the humidity was a moot point. You guys looked like you were having almost as much fun as you were creating for all of us!
Kudos on the blue shirts, the song sequence, the compromised breaks, the willingness to roll with our last-minute requests. I've always found the mark of true professionalism is "flexibility." The Plaintiffs personify professionalism.
It was a pleasure for this wedding planner to work in the presence of such a talented group of musicians and I look forward to the opportunity to do so again in the future. Kansas City has a lot of good bands, but we don't have The Plaintiffs....yet.
Most Sincerely,

The band sounded fantastic and left our guests wanting more! They provided the perfect atmosphere for our program, and I have heard nothing but praise.

The Plaintiffs kept the guests in the party mode at the Grand Krewe of Ptolemy coronation/party at the University Club of Memphis.

These guys are without doubt the number one band in the mid-south. The Plaintiffs have a song list that you only wished you had on your iPod. Plus they sound better than the bands they cover! Our party, in it's 18th year now, wouldnt be the same without them! Good guys all, and a great great band, any night with the Plaintiff's is a night you will enjoy!

Being a fan of the Plaintiffs for many years gave me a slight advantage when recently selecting a band for a major event. It came as no surprise that they exceeded all my expectations. Professional to a fault, courteous and respectful to all our members, guests and staff and most important, the sound was tight. Whether it's a birthday bash for 50, an outdoor crawfish boil for 200 or a black tie reception for a 1,000, the Plaintiffs are always one of the first we call. I have never been disappointed.

The Plaintiffs played at my wedding June 30th, and were amazing! They definitely got the party started and made sure everyone had a wonderful time! I couldnt have picked a better band for my wedding. I got tons of compliments about them. They were also wonderful and very easy to work with! Thanks!!

The Plaintiffs played our daughter's wedding reception, and they made the evening! Great music, lots of fun, and we had many compliments on the band from our guests.

The Plaintiffs played at our wedding reception and were exceptional in every way possible. The guys know how to read a crowd, and run the show perfectly. They really set the tone for a throughly enjoyable evening. We had a wide range of age groups (3yrs-80yrs old), and everyone commented on how much fun the band was. The guys showed extreme professionalism and worked easily with the venue and other staff. We could not be more pleased with the band. Our reception will always be remembered by us, family, and friends, as an evening of fun, great music, and lots of dancing. We could not thank The Plaintiffs enough, they really are the best band in Memphis.

I am proud to report that with hundreds of people in attendance, hot action at the casino tables, the best band in Memphis (The Plaintiffs) jammin' and a dance floor hopping with excitement, MPACT Memphis once again put on a classy event that truly lives up to the name 'Party of the Year.'

I have enjoyed hearing the Plaintiffs play at several East Memphis locations. I was thrilled to find out they were playing for one of Carnival Memphis' greatly attended parties, "Black Tie and Tennis Shoe" hosted by Ptah Krewe. Great night! Great party! Great band! The Plaintiffs were instrumental in the success of the "Black Tie and Tennis Shoe" party.

Recently, Lee Academy held its annual Lee Day...our main fundraiser. Our track record for getting good bands has been less than wonderful and the attendance reflects it. Well, that all changed with this year's band, The Plaintiffs. The band was everything for which we could have hoped. The band was completely set up before the event began. The thing that has been lacking in recent years has been a band that engaged the crowd. After suffering through the live auction, people are ready to either dance or get out of there. This year they stayed and danced thanks to the selection of music and basic personality of the band.
The band got nothing but compliments, and all of a sudden, I am the hero on the school board because I booked them.
Thank you to The Plaintiffs for a job well done and I will let you know when our next event will be held since you will be the band.

We wanted someone really fresh this year, the Plaintiffs brought great energy with every set. Their music selection and talent brought our annual party new life. We have already booked them for next year!

This was my first experience with the Plaintiffs. I noticed with their first song, the dance floor started filling up. Actually, it stayed full all night. Our event ran until mid-night and the dance floor was still packed and folks were even dancing at their tables. These guys are a lot of fun and have an excellent sound system. We will definitely be using this band for our future events.
