After speaking with Shari on the phone and viewing the website we had a good feeling that the Sterling Band would be a great fit for our reception. The reception was a huge hit with all of our guests and a large part of that was due to the great music and hosting of the Sterling Band. They played appropriately to all the differing moods of the reception and the bands great energy really got the dance floor going and people out of their seats.
