After scouring the internet for weeks looking for a wedding band for our big day last summer we found Garrett Barbuto & The Hot Pursuit right in our backyard in Calgary! And boy did we find not only a gem of an absolute gem of a band but also a group of some of the nicest, respectful, talented beauties in all of Alberta.
Everyone says it thinks they their wedding was "the best" and we're here to tell you that they're all wrong because Garrett and the boys weren't their band. Our ENTIRE wedding guestlist consisting of multiple age demographics and backgrounds did not leave the dancefloor for 4 straight hours and multiple (x3) encores. The energy that the band imparted on the party was contagious, so contagious in fact that the entire dancefloor physically shifted 2 feet (true story)!
It's a real testament to the band's style, talent and good nature that a growing list of over half a dozen, and counting, of our wedding guests have asked us for their contact info since our wedding. We couldn't be happier to recommend this band to anyone for any occasion, you won't regret it.
They were professional, engaging and wonderful to have at our event!
