Here’s What Our Clients Are Saying

Totally Amazing Band

by Kelly - 12/30/2014

My wedding reception was totally perfect, mostly due to Mary Davis and Rare Blend! I’ve heard the band on a number of occasions—at my sister’s wedding and at my cousin’s wedding—and they are always the highlight of the night! Everyone is still talking about their exceptional performance at my wedding. The energy they brought to the dance floor was amazing; the timing of the reception and the pacing of the music was masterful; the variety and song selection was perfect for our multi-generational crowd; and the musical performance was absolutely unbelievable.

I had heard that Mary was an expert wedding planner, but that is an understatement. She’s like a band manager and a wedding planner all in one. She was my go-to person during the whole planning process. Whenever I had a question about the wedding, I could send her an email and know that she would get back to me almost instantly.

I have one more sister to get married. She doesn’t have a boyfriend right now, but she has already said that she wants Rare Blend to play for her wedding. I can’t wait to dance to their music again!

Rare Blend Rocks

by Emily - 9/9/2014

I was just married this past June and I can honestly and truly say that my wedding would not have been the same without Rare Blend. The best part about this band is not just the fantastic music and atmosphere they create, but also how truly genuine and caring all the band members are. Mary did a truly fantastic job organizing and being an MC for the evening! She coordinated and helped organize everything and even offered suggestions and tips that you may have not thought of on your own. If you are looking to work with an incredible group of people and want some FANTASTIC music at your wedding, I would highly recommend Rare Blend. You can't go wrong with them!!!

Best Wedding Band in Detroit!

by Teresa - 9/18/2012

The best decision Craig and I made for our wedding was having the Rare Blend Band play for the reception! Music was the one area where we spent the most time discussing our options--DJ vs. Wedding Band vs. Budget. We ended up sitting down and deciding what aspects of the wedding were most important to us. As we went over the weddings we'd been to in the past few years, we realized that the music and dancing were what we remembered the most. We'd seen a couple band and many DJs. Our best times were at the receptions with the wedding bands. So we started looking around and picked the Rare Blend Band. Overall Review: The band made the reception! They played like an hour and a half straight before taking a break! They packed the dance floor! Mary was so helpful before and during the reception. Everybody at our wedding loved the Rare Blend Band!
