Entertainment Exchange

Entertainment Exchange is a fantastic vendor for any of your wedding's musical needs. I had a wonderful experience from the moment I met Vickie at a bridal fair. She answered all my questions, answered emails promptly, and helped me pick a wonderful wedding band. 'Round Midnight made our wedding a truly memorable night. The band members were so enthusiastic, they interacted with the guests, and they played a great selection of music. The band was also very accommodating with learning songs that were not on the playlist. I have had countless guests tell me how awesome our band sounded. I feel that music can really set the mood for an event and I can honestly say our wedding was UNBELIEVABLE.

Nightsong was amazing! They did such a wonderful job playing the two songs we requested for our special dances and kept the crowd on their feet the whole night! We keep hearing such rave reviews about our music and are so thankful to have chosen such a great band! We highly rate them for any big event!

I knew I was going to use Entertainment Exchange to help me select the right band for my wedding reception as I have two friends that also used them for their receptions in the past! From my very first encounter with Vickie Preston at the Baltimore Bridal Show at the Waterfront Marriot I was positive that I did not have to look any further. Vickie was wonderful from that first meeting! Entertainment Exchange listened to my want for a Jazz band with a female vocal and was extremely accomodating in finding the perfect fit with Jazz Caravan. Vickie was always available by email with quick responses to my questions. I would reccommend Entertainment Exchange to any bride that is looking for a band for their reception. My husband and I could not be happier and all of our guest made comments on how fabulous Jazz Caravan was! AndreaBaltimore, MD

Entertainment Exchange provided fast and reliable service with no hassle at all. We definitely enjoyed working with them and they provided a band that - at a great value - that was the talk of the wedding. We would not hesitate to use them again the future or recommend to friends and family.

I don't know what I could possibly add to all the reviews regarding the fabulous band Round Midnight. This was undoubtedly the very best investment toward insuring that my daughter's wedding was a huge success. They made it a memorable party for everyone there.Their ability to "read the crowd" was uncanny. We had lots of 25 - 30 year old guests and we also had a good number of 55 + folks. The songs they chose appealed to all ages and kept the dance floor 'rocking!! Their involvement with the crowd was especially noteworthy. They "got down" and danced and played to every single person there (including the 18 month old baby girl who danced the night way). They not only involved the bride and groom and the wedding party but they worked the crowd and kept the tempo high!! Folks just couldn't get over how great they were and how they could play so many different songs by so many different artists. After talking to the band leaders, Tim, I knew I had nothing to worry about. Since the wedding was out in Warrenton, I was very worried they wouldn't find the place (Airlie Center) and would be late. But, after my conversation with Tim, I knew I could "check the box" for the band and go on to worry about something else. I am grateful to the Entertainment Exchange for working with me to decide on having Round Midnight join in our very fun filled evening. I hope they also had some fun!!

THANK YOU SOOOOOO MUCH!! You totally made the wedding! Everyong RAVED about the band! I'm sure the crowd helped, we do have amazing (and very fun) friends and family, but you guys were top notch. I would ABSOLUTELY recommend Entertainment Exchange, 'Round Midnight and Bel Canto Strings to anyone who asked. Mitch keeps saying he felt like he was at a concert (which we love) but better because everyone was dancing. Besides dinner I don't think there was ever a time when the dance floor wasn't packed. Thank you again, from the bottom of my heart, for making the party what it was!!

I LOVED our DJ, Donna Hardesty! This is my second wedding, and I had booked her before, so I already knew she'd be great. Vickie Preston was also very nice to work with. I had actually gotten to meet her about a month before the wedding at a bridal event in Baltimore in my actual venue, The Tremont Grand. I had also booked a trio consisting of a violin, cello, and a flute, to play for the ceremony and cocktail hour. They were amazing as well. Donna kept the evening going with great music, and she really kept everything on track. I can't thank her enough!Thanks!!!Erika and Gary Carpenter

Entertainment Exchange was wonderful to work with. I was planning my Bowie, Maryland wedding from New York, which was a task in itself. They were always helpful with suggesting local wedding retailers since I was not familiar with the area. They were also very flexible with planning since I was only available on certain days when I was in town. Peter was on top of everything and helped us throughout the entire process. They did not force us into any decisions understanding that it is hard to plan a wedding. They were always available for questions whenever we called I would highly recommend them.For our wedding they suggested using Paper Thoughts in Bethesda, MD for our invitations. Jody was very helpful in choosing our invitations and the whole process went very smoothly.Entertainment Exchange found Janet Holland from Serenata to play the harp for us during the ceremony. The harp was beautiful and definitely added elegance to our day. She was also wonderful to work with. Very professional and easy going.Our DJ was Paul Parrinello, who has been a DJ for years and is very experienced.. He was very professional and was very knowledgeable about weddings. We had one planning meeting with him and then a two phone conversations and that was it. He played exactly what we wanted and the guests said that he was the best DJ they had ever heard. Everyone had a great time!Our cake was done by Something Extra in Gaithersburg, MD. Randy was a pleasure to work with and the cake was delicious definitely the best cake we ever had. The carrot cake is to die for, I cannot wait to eat our topper on our one year anniversary. They also did our groom's cake in the shape of a Guinness bottle. Some guests thought the label was real, but it was all done in icing. It was awesome!The planning process went off without a hitch. After a tasting and a few short phone conversations our cake was planned. On the day of our wedding it was beautiful, the center piece of the entire room. Over all I could not have asked for a better day. Everything came together and it would have not been possible without Entertainment Exchange. Thank you for everything!

Vickie Preston was fabulous! She allowed us to see several bands in person before we made our choice. We went with Powerhouse and they were AMAZING!!! They even let us extend that night for another hour. The band was so much fun and people pf all ages were on the dance floor until 2am! Highly recommend them!

We worked with Entertainment Exchange and the band we selected was Doctor's Orders. Before the ceremony, we listened to a couple of different bands, and picked Doctor's Orders because of their music selection, their charisma with the audience, and their sound control. Unlike the other bands we saw, Doctor's Orders has dedicated sound techs to circle the room and make sure the sound fits the room and everyone can hear them without being overpowered. This may seem trivial, but having heard some bands who did not do this, I can say it can be really important.They sounded fantastic! We received SO MANY compliments afterward about how our band was the best band they had ever heard, and they certainly contributed to the many people who said it was "the best" wedding they had ever been to. EVERYONE was up on the floor dancing. They did a great job of mixing music from the last 50 years together in a great way that kept people on the floor for hours. They had great stage presence and did a great job of engaging the crowd. So I would say this, if you want a great band to get everyone on their feet, you should hire Doctor's Orders. (Plus, they're not even as expensive as a lot of other bands!)

Entertainment Exchange provided a harpist to play before our ceremony and a string quartet to play during the cocktail hour at our reception. The musicians were excellent...we got lots of compliments. I would definitely recommend Entertainment Exchange.

Loved, Loved, Loved my band! 'Round Midnight was the talk of the night! Everyone from my 5 year old nephew to my 90 year old grandfather were dancing up a storm. They have a good mix of music for all ages. They had my groom singing into the mic! We all had so much fun! They were able to do all of the songs we requested, and they sounded great! Several times during the night they even sought me out to make sure I was still happy with their performance.We found them at a friend's wedding, and they lived up to the excitement all over again at ours. They will definitely be playing at both of my sister's weddings!

Our band was great. We used the Fabulous Fantoms. They really got everyone out on the dancefloor. They were louder than some other bands so we got some comments from older people in attendance but we loved it. They were great to work with. We could email them any questions leading up to the wedding and they were very responsive. They were also willing to learn a new song if they didn't know it for our first dance. I can't wait to hear them at a wedding in the future!

We used 'Round Midnight and the string quartet for our wedding through the Exchange. 'Round Midnight was FANTASTIC!!! They are WELL worth every penny as they keep the dance floor packed and are very personable and fun!!! I would comment on the string quartet, but I barely remember walking down the aisle (it is such a blur!!)

We used the band Night Song that we got through Entertainment Exchange. Night Song was amazing. We got compliments from many of our guests saying that they were the best band they'd ever heard at a wedding. They were very interactive with the audience and everyone had a great time. Thanks Night Song you rocked!

We hired Nightsong through Entertainment Exchange for our wedding in September. We LOVED them, worth every penny! My husband and I never got to see them live before we booked them, but based on the video (which doesn't do them justice) and two recommendations, we chose them. We were blown away by the talent of everyone in the band. The dance floor was packed all night with guests of all ages. I had the BEST time. So many people commented on how much fun Nightsong was. Book them today!

We hired both a string quartet and 'Round Midnight as our wedding band from Entertainment Exchange. They were easy to work with and have all types of entertainment available in one place. The quartet was good but since that was before and during the ceremony and in the very busy cocktail hour I did not really hear much of the music. 'Round Midnight, however, was FANTASTIC. Our guests (and my husband and I) were out on the dance floor all night, no one wanted to leave when it was over. The next day everyone was raving and saying it was the best wedding band they had ever heard! They were really flexible, learned a song for our first dance, and were great to have there. I highly reccomend 'Round Midnight!

Roung Midnight was absoutely amazing! They totally made our wedding a success. They got everyone up dancing all night long and we even extended our wedding an extra half hour because so many people were still on the dance floor at midnight! They really connected with our guests and got everyone involved.

Powerhouse Band was a huge crowd hit (there was a Michael Jackson medley that people are still talking about!). Dance floor was full the entire night. Band did take a very long break during dinner - fine, but I'd plan your night accordingly to get money's worth. Highly recommend overall though.
