Best Wedding Reception…Ever

We hired Sherry Summerville and the Summerville Band to play at our wedding. Sherry sang all the vocals for the wedding and the rest of the band joined her for the reception. We had a 150 guest for a plated dinner/reception in the ball room at the Mission Mill. (Not gonna lie, it was fabulous). Sherry and her band were true professionals from start to finish. From song selection, arrangement they were very accommodating! They can sing and perform just about anything and any song. EVERY SINGLE band member was an amazing artist. But truly, Sherry Summerville stole the show. Simply put….she is a star. Don’t miss out on booking these amazing artists at any event. It will be a success!!!

Sherry creates an inviting atmosphere before her show even begins. She greets the audience with her energetic personality and positive attitude. As soon as the band begins to play and Sherry begins to sing you are immediately taken back to days gone by with her beautiful soulful voice. It is obvious she is having fun performing and her band is having fun as well. If you enjoy jazz music, Sherry Summerville is a must see!"
