Z and the Party Faktory listened to our needs and were incredibly accommodating. They were easy to reach and communicate with and understood the flow of our event naturally. They are talented, very professional, and obviously seasoned musicians who made the event so easy!

They were the best and most entertaining band ever! Charlez was awesome and included the crowd in everything, he even got on the floor and showed his dance moves. I would highly recommend them to anyone, especially with a wedding.

Thank You So Much and we will see you soon
I hired Z to provide the music for my daughter's wedding on 10/3/15. I could not have hand picked a better musician. My guest were all in awe of her. They commented that she was as good as Kenny G. Thanks Z and the Party Faktory and Gigsalad for connecting us.
