Sheraton Station Square ~ Dreamscape Band Reviewed

Pittsburgh Wedding Band Dreamscape – was reviewed by Birchtree Photography Pittsburgh
Dreamscape Band at Sheraton Station Square

Pittsburgh Wedding Photographer Mary Schwarz,  very graciously said “…these are only my personal opinions and experiences…no one is paying me anything (that’d be sweet, though, if there was such a demand for me reviews!). I just happen to go to a lot of weddings, and I know something good when I see it…or in this case, hear it!

Guests of Stephanie and Greg’s awesome wedding at the Sheraton Station Square were treated to a great performance by Dreamscape Band. If you decide to go with a band for your wedding entertainment, finding a good one can be tricky. Maybe the band’s repertoire is too narrow…or they just can’t seem to get people on the dance floor…or worse, they’re just not good! This was definitely NOT the case with Dreamscape Band. For example:

Not only did they know how to put on a good performance, their members are TALENTED! Seriously, you should have heard them singing and playing.  I was also really impressed with how hard they worked.  Everyone gave it their all. – And all the guests thoroughly enjoyed it! Me, too! So, if you’re looking for a good band for your Pittsburgh wedding, be sure to check out Dreamscape…”

It’s All About… You.

We love to get this type of letter:
City Heat Testimonial

“City Heat was one of the best decisions that we made”

JP says “Sure, we all love to be flattered. But way more importantly, THESE PEOPLE HAD A GREAT WEDDING!..”

The couple who wrote this letter got special treatment, which is to say our normal treatment — the very same special treatment that ALL of our clients receive!  Prompt communication, easy-to-reach contacts, custom client area and more ad up to overall peace of mind!! — are all things that we routinely provide to everyone (from initial contact through & beyond your wedding day!).

The new Mr. and Mrs. Greco, who were married last October at Sheraton Station Square in Pittsburgh, say that “choosing City Heat was one of the best decisions that we made along their planning process.”  That incredibly flattering compliment is, after all, the essence of why we do what we do.  A great live band is one of the top things that your guests will remember!

Pittsburgh’s Milla C Photography captured the Greco’s special day–gorgeous couple, great venue, great party band– in these amazing photos.
