reviews

City Heat brought the house down!! From the moment we got engaged, we knew we wanted a great band for our reception. We found just that with City Heat! Weeks after our event, the band is still being complimented. They asked for a large stage and utilized every bit of it to not only perform but to party with us on our special day. From the first dance to the last dance, City Heat gave 110%. The entire wedding reception was on the dance floor all night long. We’ve been to numerous weddings with bands and this band outshines them all!!

City Heat was awesome! We have had numerous people call to ask the name of the act and how to get in touch with them. Most enjoyable and entertaining. - Cat M.

City Heat was AMAZING. We have received so many compliments on them. They are a class act. - Mechele W. - Orange Beach, AL

Performance was off the charts...great selection of music, wonderful presentation, great interaction with the audience. Everyone commented on how much they enjoyed the band. Worth every dime. - Margaret F., Thomasville, GA

Excellent Band! Current Music, that is very important to us! They learned a song for us. They played Italian music for us. Can’t tell you how pleased we are, just all a wonderful experience. Ms. Tina is the tops! Love her. Love all of the very talented band! – Mary A., Birmingham, AL

At the beginning of the evening I accidentally wandered into the band’s waiting/break room. The members were very congenial, kind complimented my attire. The gentleman I imagine is the leader thanked me/us for hiring them adding how much the appreciated being asked. We appreciated his comments. We loved the pink sequined dress and silver boots as well as the voices and dance moves of the female performers. They were all men and women very involved in the animation of the evening, getting off stage and singing and dancing with the guests at times, we loved it! Two female guests wore themselves out trying to keep up with the dancing. We were also grateful to them for learning and singing the songs requested for the Father/Daughter (Bride) and Mother/Groom dances.

It was high energy performance and everyone danced and really enjoyed themselves! Got lots of great compliments on City Heat. We loved the lead singer’s send off message to the Bride and Groom!! – Melinda S., - Alys Beach, FL

City Heat did another fantastic job! We used them for my sister’s wedding in 2016 and were excited to have them again at my reception. They did not disappoint! Very Fun with great energy and crowd interaction. Would definitely recommend to others! Thank you Music Garden and City Heat for a fantastic experience!

City Heat will be doing all my daughters’ weddings I hope!!! They worked their “booty” off. So, So nice! Incredible sound. Accommodating. Learned a new song for us. Very interactive. – Sharon, Tuscaloosa, AL

City Heat was PHENOMENAL!!! Alex and I were blown away by how great they were – songs, dance and quality! All of our guests have raved on how much they loved or band. We wish we could party all over again with City Heat! – Lucy & Alex B., Auburn, AL

Tina Davis was terrific as a band manager. She did everything we asked and they played all the songs we liked. Thanks for a grate night! - Lou H., Macon, GA

City Heat performed at our wedding on May 20th at the Four Seasons in Atlanta. We had the larger 13-piece ensemble. I saw their promo videos and was impressed but nothing can prepare you for how good they are in person! Not only do they have incredible vocals, but they are just plain FUN and extremely professional..... City Heat knew how to keep the party going! .... highly recommend them and glad we had them at our wedding. Thank you! - Melissa

What can we say but City Heat was fabulous! Very professional, great sound, "very tight" with the songs, i.e. Not sloppy! Ms. Tina and Co are highly recommended! ... Awesome people! - Kim and Joe M.

City Heat absolutely exceeded our expectations. Everyone raved about their talent and performance. They really made our wedding reception! - Erin B., Atlanta, GA

We Loved the band's energy and didn't want the night to end. They were very nice. Even the "old" people were on the dance floor. Great variety in set list. FUN! - Amanda K., Clayton, GA

Just a note of thanks for taking care of all the details for the B. /M. wedding (Oklahoma City.) The wedding was fabulous and Tina and City Heat did a remarkable job! What a great group to work with! So, accommodating with anything we asked for the dancing never stopped and all of Oklahoma loved the band Thank you so much for making this happen. - Sincerely, Judy L. and Bridal Party

Everyone enjoyed the band. Great sound - the singers were very engaging and even danced with us! Very professional! - B. L., Huntsville, AL

I have been to a lot of weddings, and I used to be a booking agent myself and I can definitely say that City Heat is the best wedding band I have ever seen. Not only did they sound great, they were excellent entertainers and kept the crowd into it the entire night. ...When the night came to an end, I really don't think they wanted to stop! All I can say is; Thanks Martin for the recommendation and Thanks City Heat! - Scott, Atlanta, GA

City Heat was fabulous! The music was great and they engaged the audience well! Thank you for a fun night!! – Tami Y., Birmingham, AL

This band was awesome! Their energy was unbelievable. They interacted with the crowd and energized them. We all loved them. Everyone raved about them. – Tina N., Killen, AL

Oh how we loved City Heat... let me count the ways! I don't even know where to begin... from the moment they arrived to the last song, City Heat was incredible!! Professional, brilliantly talented, beautifully attired, and overall simply wonderful. When we had to move the wedding ceremony inside the tent due to rain, they adapted quickly and lovingly. Our daughter and son-in-law's night was made by not only the fabulous music, but also by the sheer presence of each band member who were so fun and loving and caring. It was a night we will never forget and the good LORD above used City Heat to bless us immensely. We are extremely grateful! My only regret is that I didn't get the chance to spend time with each member of the band because it was obvious they are all very special people. Anna K., Gurley, AL
