Oh what a night! Indigo was amazing! Our wedding guests were so impressed with them - from the jazz trio during dinner to the high energy music that kept everyone on the dance floor. Kendall knows how to start a party and keep it going until the end of the evening! Their range of music and ability to play to our guests was so impressive. We are so glad that we decided to select the 11 piece band - the horn section was fantastic! And then they ended the evening with a private dance for the bride and groom that was so special. They are definitely a five star band! A big thanks to Kendall and Indigo for a very special evening!

I recently hired Indigo to play at my daughters wedding in Munster, Indiana for 425 guests. They absolutely killed it!! Literally did not leave the dance floor the entire evening. They were professional and fun and really got the crowd into it. I would highly recommend them for a wedding reception or similar event.

We hired Evolution Orchestra for our wedding, and it was easily the part of our wedding we were most excited for! We had searched far and wide for a wedding band, and we were so excited when we found them. They are everything that you want in a wedding band - enthusiastic, lively, fun, and TALENTED! Every single member who performed that night did an incredible job, and we had people on the dance floor all night. Ken and his team made us feel so comfortable leading up to the wedding, and helped us with our timeline as well. The night of our wedding, Caitlin was our band leader and was such a sweetheart! She did so much to make us feel special, and the entire band was extremely engaging. I wish I could hire them to perform at every event, they really are a team of incredible professionals and are the life of the party. They were our favorite part of the wedding, and we cannot recommend them enough!

Entourage was the highlight of our wedding!! We received SO many compliments on the band and the dance floor was full the entire night! One highlight: one of our friends went up to our pregnant friend and asked her “As a sober person, is this band really THIS GOOD?! Or am I too drunk?” which of course she assured him they were actually amazing haha. Everyone in the band is so talented and Leslie was so great and easy to work with. They even learned a specific song for us that we wanted to close the night with. My husband and I are trying to figure out an excuse to hire them again for something… 1,000,000 out of 10, would recommend!!!

If you're looking for a wedding band, Ken Arlen Productions will undoubtedly exceed your expectations. Entourage is outstanding - Our dance floor was packed for 3 hours straight and many guests shared that Entourage is "the best band I've ever heard!"Leslie (Lead vocalist) is absolutely incredible. Not only is she an incredibly gifted musician and singer, but she is someone you want on your team during the chaos of wedding day. Leslie was so organized, and made me feel at ease when we were 20 min off schedule. Our pre-wedding meeting with Leslie was so much fun. During this meeting, I requested a Taylor Swift mashup (I'm the bride and I love T Swift). Sure enough on wedding day, Leslie performed a mashup of Shake It Off and Cruel Summer - I will never forget this <3.Thank you, Leslie, Entourage, and Ken Arlen Team for making our wedding the best day of our lives!

We used Indigo at our wedding and they were fantastic. They are professionals all-around, and bring a lot of good energy to the event. Dan, the band lead, is easy to communicate with, and was very flexible with the set list. The sound was great. Can't say enough good things about them.

My husband and I planned our entire wedding around when Ken Arlen's Evolution Orchestra was available. They are the best of the best. Not only are the musicians incredibly talented, Ken and Lloyd's ability to cater to the couple and their families is first rate. Every interaction with Ken and his team was absolutely wonderful, and he helped me our special night a dream come true. We cannot recommend Ken and his bands enough!

I loved what I saw of Indigo so much that I was basically fangirling - yes, for a wedding band! My then-fiance agreed that, even though every Ken Arlen band seemed awesome, Indigo was truly special. It boasts 4 singers, who each bring something unique to the table. This in turn makes it quite easy to have a variety of styles, which then puts people on the dance floor. Dan is also very receptive to others' ideas, and brainstorming with him is a lot of fun, since he is passionate about all things musical. We thought that our entrance music could be the theme from The Simpsons, but he politely said that it might be too hard since it's very orchestral and involves so many instruments. Well, what do you know? After we entered to another choice that we also loved (as did many there), the 30 Rock theme, he and his crew surprised us with the theme from The Simpsons when we walked up to cut our cake! Talk about a surprise - and the best of both worlds. I also requested a song from a boyband that is not that well known in the US (unfairly I think!), and Dan introduced it with some humor. The singers had two from their website out, but the other two who were there certainly worked well with the other singers. They harmonized well and each sang in a beautiful, rich way, evoking the elegance and fun we had hoped to bring to our reception. I made sure to talk to them beforehand and to thank them, and they were all very kind - passionate about what they do and humble as artists who seek different opportunities to hone their craft. Thank you to Indigo for what we knew was going to be wonderful.

I strongly recommend Entourage (part of Arlen Music Productions) for your wedding band! My sister had Entourage at her wedding over five years ago, and I knew I had to have them at my future wedding because they made the night amazing. Tim was great with working with us on our contract. When we had to postpone our wedding due to Covid, he worked with us on finding a new date. We met with Leslie Hunt, the band leader, a few months before our wedding. Once we talked to her and spoke about some of the details, we were even more excited. She provided a detailed itinerary for our day and helped us with some music suggestions and other ideas for certain parts of the evening. She continuously communicated with us up until our wedding day and worked with us on any small changes or ideas we had. Our wedding day was amazing, and so much of the credit goes to Entourage. Leslie and the band really brought the energy! They played a mix of several types of music from different decades and never stopped! Leslie and Jerome were outstanding vocalists and all of the musicians were fantastic as well. The dance floor was never empty, and so many of our guests emphasized how great they thought Entourage was. I am thrilled we were able to have Entourage perform on our special day, and again I highly recommend!

Highly recommend! We originally booked two musicians from Arlen Music to play at our Chicago wedding. Given the Covid pandemic, we had to entirely pivot our venue/format to a backyard wedding. Arlen was flexible with the change, and we ended up using Lloyd to play solo guitar. Lloyd was great to work with and is really talented! He learned a specific song for our ceremony, and helped us choose songs for special parts of the event. Lloyd made our wedding classy and memorable! Our guests had tons of compliments. We are big Lloyd fans and would love to use him again!

If you're going to splurge on anything, Ken Arlen Evolution is the place to do it! Everyone left our wedding saying it was the best wedding they had ever been to, and in large part because they couldn't stop talking about how incredible the band was. The best part about Ken Arlen Evolution is that everything they do is aimed towards making your wedding spectacular. From learning that song that you just have to have played, to working with you to create the perfect playlist, they are focused on what you want and then find a way to make it even better than you envisioned. And on the big night, they absolutely killed it! They brought energy, flare, amazing vocals, and were a main reason why we all had so much fun celebrating.

We used Entourage for our wedding band and they were AMAZING. We were both very skeptical of wedding bands in general - most of them that we had experienced were cheesy and overpriced. However, my parents felt very strongly about having a wedding band, so we decided to go for it. I hate to say it, but they were right - at least, when it comes to booking Entourage. They brought such incredible energy and our dance floor was PACKED all night. They even learned some extra songs for us, and they kept their song list updated throughout the season. Six months after our wedding, our guests are still talking about how much fun they had dancing at our wedding and how incredible the band was!
