What a GREAT band!

WOW! This band is the best! They play a variety of music and their band leader, Rick, made sure that he got all our music preferences/requests. They kept the party moving and their music got our guests out on the dance floor. Many commented on how much they liked this band! I would definitely recommend The Edge!

The Band that keeps the Party Rolling

Had the absolute pleasure of having Rick and his crew as our wedding band. Rick was professional, helpful and extremely patient as I asked many questions out of his scope. He was very accommodating to make last minute changes for small details that I had overlooked. He had a thorough questionnaire that helped me really think through what I needed to include.
The Edge was amazing. Our dance floor was full all night. The song selection was very extensive and we just chose the ones we liked the most. Our guests gushed about the band and the quality and I can say the same, the value was fabulous! I truly can’t say enough about this group. I would say that this is a band that covers ALL ages and was exactly what we wanted. Their variety of oldies, Motown, pop, was perfect.

Rick and the Cutting Edge band was all we had hoped for and more. Our guests were 100% in agreement that they were a terrific band with a feel for the audience. Great variety of music, with an outstanding entertainment value. We would hire them again without hesitation.

Great Night!

The Pianist and the band, Rick & the Cutting Edge, really made our wedding special. The guests loved the live music and all of the songs. The dance floor was packed the whole night. Rick was very easy to work with and did a great job with announcing the wedding party.

From start to finish, Rick did a great job of running the reception. He kept things moving along and really made sure everyone was having a blast. The band sounded great and made sure to play all of our favorite songs. We have gotten tons of comments from our wedding guests that they loved the band and it was evident from the start, because that dance floor was packed for almost the entire night, with people of every age! Thank you so much to the band for a wonderful night! We couldn’t have imagined it being any better.

Rick and the Cutting Edge was fantastic in every way! They exceeded our high expectations! Rick was fabulous to work with! He met with us beforehand to work out some details and he was accomodating on all requests. I think the best thing about him and the entire band, really, was everyone of them was OVERLY nice and sweet. I felt like the band were friends of ours.

We have heard multiple comments from nearly everyone attending that one of the biggest highlights for them was the band. Many have said it was by far the best one they’ve ever seen at a wedding. Everyone loved the diverse songs and high energy provided throughout the night. Having looked at your song list and seen the videos online I had very high expectations. You definitely exceeded anything Katie or I could’ve ever dreamed of. The emceeing was great and the songs were awesome.

Rick and the band were absolutely fabulous to work with. They kept the dance floor full and played an extremely difficult venue flawlessly. We heard only positive comments from a very diverse crowd. Rick even thought of many things that we forgot about along the way that helped us out. One of our friends even said, ‘I’m not a dancer, but this is the best wedding band I’ve ever heard.’ Rick and the band had him out on the dance floor all night.

We needed to write to you about the wonderful experience at our daughter and son-in-law’s wedding. This was quite a traditional Slovenian wedding. Your song selection, including the three sets of polkas, certainly got everyone on the dance floor! We most enjoyed the fact that you tailor-made the song selections according to your observation of the crowd.
