I wanted to say thank you for the awesome job at the Grant/Lawrence Wedding on Saturday night. It was a beautiful wedding and everything ran so smoothly. Megan was in tears when she was leaving because she had such an incredible time and didn’t want the night to end. I just spoke with Mr and Mrs McSweeney and they are thrilled with everything. Thank you again for a wonderful event!

HI Deborah, I just wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed the band on oct 4th!!! Rhythm Nation was fantastic- as you may have noticed, I danced to nearly every song, if not every one! Their voices were superb and I really appreciated that the performers engaged the audience but not in an obnoxious "wedding band" sort of way- they were so fun!! please let them know how much we enjoyed their performance. Hopefully, one day, we will attend another event where they will be entertaining the guests!! ~Torrey

Rhythm Nation were great, and were key contributors to a fantastic wedding. Everyone raved. In addition all the pre-wedding communication and correspondence could not be faulted - the attention to detail and responsiveness from yourself and Deborah was outstanding. Please convey our thanks and appreciation to the band and Deborah, and should you require any references in the future please do not hesitate to contact us.

Steve, I want to thank you for suggesting Rhythm Nation. They were everything I wanted and more. They played a great mix of music and kept everybody dancing.

Terry, I know that I speak for the staff, Board of Directors, and guests who attended our first-ever major fundraiser for the Atlanta Children's Shelter in saying that we were tremendously impressed with the band, Rhythmn Nation. To quote the Chair of the event, a Board member, "One of the best event/wedding-type bands I've ever seen. Would strongly recommend them to others." The variety of music played and the professionalism of the band members is commendable. Everyone had such a good time. Please extend our sincere thanks to the band for a job well done.
Dr. Jackye E. Brown, Executive Director

The night started out with some warm-up music and I was enjoying the food and general atmosphere. At some point, I realized that the band had changed and later learned the name (I asked the drummer, Eric). Rhythm Nation really made the party which is saying something because of the lavish accouterments that Veolia provided. Importantly, this Band accomplished much in a pretty small stage space. I've been on stage entertaining at wedding parties (DJ setup) and I know the intensity and challenges a smaller stage area presents. My favorite aspect of the Band was the drumming/drum beat, not just because it was excellent, but because Eric was a fun performer to watch. This provided an entertaining visual that augmented the high energy dance beat. Rhythm Nation pretty much kept people on the dance floor all night and this is also saying something because party attendees, for the most part, did not know each other, coming from all 50 states. I can't recall the names of the three singers, other than Christine as I caught that during the announcement, but they were multi-talented given their singing and dancing abilities. And, during and after the show I was totally impressed that these people were approachable and friendly. I'd definitely go see them again.
