I just wanted to write you to say thank you – all of you – so much! You guys did such an amazing job playing our wedding, and
believe me when I say that everyone was raving about the band for days afterward. People were having a blast dancing, and the
energy was high all night. You made the night truly special for us. Thanks again for everything! You guys rock(ed)!

The Bascom – Highlands, NC
You all did wonderfully! I couldn’t be happier to have you as our rocking wedding band! Our guests young and old were loving the
music and all were dancing the whole night through. It was so nice during the wedding planning process to be at ease knowing
that you all had a great mix lined up for us! I wish we could have that kind of party every weekend!

I hope you enjoyed playing on the square as much as we enjoyed having you. I can’t even count how many people told me what a
great band we had for the Grand Opening. I hope it opens more door for you guys this way to play more often. Thanks again.

Hurricane Creek recently played for my 40th Birthday Bash… they were fantastic!! They provided the perfect mix of music…
more mellow for the dinner/cocktail portion of the evening, and turned it up as people hit the dance floor. They were very easy
to book via email, and politely confirmed with me several times prior to the event. I highly recommend Hurricane Creek for
event!

We would highly recommend Hurricane Creek Band to anyone. They were very professional and played to the crowd. They played
for my daughters wedding reception and the age of the crowd on the dance floor ranged from 20 to 70. I had several comments
about on how long it had been since they had seen guest dancing up until the band stopped playing at a wedding reception. They
played for 3 1/2 hours and took only one break. Would definitely book them again.
Jeff Howell
Greer, South Carolina
We hired Hurricane Creek to play at our daughter’s wedding and could not have been more pleased with their performance. They
were very accomodating allowing a groomsman to be a guest singer, played a great mix of slow and fast dance music, adapted their
wide selection of music to our guests’ tastes and graciously accepted requests. They seemed to genuinely enjoy the evening through
their interaction with our group and their willingness to play longer. We endorse them without reservation and would eagerly hire
them to play for us in the future. (We are hoping my sister will hire them for her son’s wedding next year!)

George and “Hurricane Creek”, thanks a million for a magnificent performance for Earl’s birthday party. Folks are still talking
about the event and I expect will do so for a long time. Understandably, you contract for a fee. Your participation, however, goes
beyond the normal. It appears that your hearts are totally in sync with the activities. You guys are certainly flexible with your
musical abilities. It shows in your demeanors and smiles, just how much you enjoy the business. Best wishes for many more
performances. Look forward to another party in the near future. Wouldn’t dream of calling anyone else.

Thank you so much for a fantastic night of music and celebration. If I’ve heard it once, I’ve heard it a thousand times from
the wedding guests- that Hurricane Creek is the best band we’ve ever heard at a wedding! And as the bride, I have to agree. In
shopping for reception bands, you never quite know what you are getting until it’s over- but with Hurricane Creek I felt at ease
and confident from the first time I spoke with George on the phone. He is easy to work with and so amenable to any request I
threw at him.
Hurricane Creek’s professionalism shines through not only in their appearance, equipment and set up at our wedding reception,
but most importantly in their attitudes and ability to “change on a dime” as we made adjustments to the schedule during our
party. I can not thank them enough for “going with the flow” and filling in the gaps when needed- and of course- for sharing
their talent with us. We had to drag everyone off the dance floor at the end of the reception- no one wanted to leave! I can’t wait
to plan another party in the Cashiers/Highlands area and you can bet Hurricane Creek will be on my “must hire” list!
Jill Keane
High Hampton Inn & Country Club, Cashiers, NC.
Hurricane Creek was absolutely wonderful – My husband and I couldn’t have asked for a more professional, fun, and GREATSOUNDING band to play at our wedding! They kept us dancing until the very end of the reception, and our guests still haven’t
stopped talking about how much fun they had. It was truly a pleasure working with these guys from start to finish – We highly
recommend them.

First Class all the way!! Hurricane Creek played at our wedding reception and they were amazing. We’ve received a ton of
compliments from our friends and family regarding the band. Not only were they exceptional musicians, they were also extremely
professional and accommodating. There was a chance of snow the day of the wedding, so Hurricane Creek came down a day early
just to make sure they were on time and ready to go!! That is the kind of service you get with these guys. I would recommend
Hurricane Creek to anyone wanting to have a good time with no worries.
