Used the venue for my college graduation party and it was a blast. Communication was great and the event was easy. It was amazing!

Although the band was great, working with Paul Hoy and Class Acts was terrible. Paul was completely non-responsive. When I spoke with Paul I told him that I wanted to pay in full in order to lock down the entertainment for my event. After repeated calls and emails to Class Acts it came to my attention that Paul was ignoring my correspondence so that he could continue to shop the band around, AFTER we had agreed that I was going to hire them.
After my event there was a billing error that needed to be corrected. Again it took Paul and Class Acts nearly a month before correcting their error. Paul is dismissive of client concerns and doesn't seem to care at all about customer service. Truly a disappointing experience.

Medium sized venue with long tables and lots of seating. Some technical mishaps but that will improve over time I'm sure. Great location.

Class Acts and by extension Paradise Island band were amazing to work with for our wedding. After a lengthy decision process Paradise Island left me with no regrets and were the runaway hit of the event.

We were looking for a band through Class Acts who would have a nice Motown feel with the flexibility of playing some more modern songs as well. We were intrigued by Big Daddy Blue since you can customize the instrumentation and song list. Big Daddy Blue knocked it out of the park! Since we had a New York style reception (dancing before dinner and between courses), we were worried about getting everyone on the dance floor. CLEARLY we didn't have anything to worry about since everyone hit the dance floor the moment the band started to play!
The talent was tremendous, the song selections varied from Earth Wind and Fire's "September" to "The Way You Look Tonight" all the way to P!nk's "Raise Your Glass". Our wedding would truly have not been the same without Big Daddy Blue. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for live music at their event!

Mojoflo recently played at our wedding and to say they did an amazing job is an understatement. If you are looking for a band for a wedding (or really any event), look no further then mojoflo. They had our guests dancing the entire night. Couldn't recommend any more highly.
