They were just amazing and so talented!  Everyone loved them and we had a great event.  Thank you Moonlighters!!

Played appropriate selection of music, entertains and well dressed.  Audience response was positive! Made the event an overall success.

we were truly blessed to have the group and especially Loretta, the female vocalist, provide the music for our 50th Wedding Anniversary party. They knew all the right songs and had all the right vibes for the whole time they played.  Could not have had better music or nicer people to be part of our celebration
