Craig Scott Entertainment

My husband and I hired a band, Rich Bascomb and Phase One, through Craig Scott Entertainment. We went in for one meeting, were blown away by the performances shown on video, and booked them. Overall, they were FANTASTIC! They played everything we requested (some untraditional things like Phish and Grateful Dead) and it was perfect. The dance floor was packed all night and our friends said again and again - "They are awesome!" We would hire them again in a heartbeat.

Fantastic! You will not be disappointed. We worked with Scott and he was incredible. The wedding was perfect and this was largely due to the band. They played all night, everyone kept asking where we found them and I can't praise them enough. This is the most professional, fun and talented band you will find. Scott made us feel like we were the only wedding he had to plan for and the night of the wedding made us feel like royalty. The music pleased everyone in the room and everyone danced the entire night. Hire them with confidence. We felt very lucky to have them. I can 't say enough good thongs.

Craig Scott entertainment exceeded my expectations! Initial meeting was informative, followup emails were sent in timely fashion, like that you can fill in all your needs online and change them as needed up till a certain date. Liked the friendly email reminders about payments, (I would normally forget the schedule) AND best of all after all my worrying (about the harp player for the ceremony) it was fabulous. I sent an email with nontraditional ceremony music, bach and handel air in g, and others, including the Gift of Love for unity candle ceremony and she was great, we hired the piano player for the lobby area, 1/2 hr and cocktail hr, it was a great touch to have him playing while people socialized. Christian, our DJ was the best, he played alot of music catering to the 20 to 30ish crowd - but he had all ages up and dancing all night long, I believe that he would have changed the music, but since it really worked no need. By the end of the night the 50 yrs olds actually wanted to get some of those songs. It made for an exciting party. He listened to all of our requests, including not doing the line dances, chicken dances, ymca, etc. The point is that he will listen to what you want and give you what you want! My family was extremely happy by the company, this is our 2nd event with this company. I am MOB of 2 daughters that used them, and highly recommend them.

We worked with Rich and Phase One. We had given them a few suggestive songs to give them an idea of what we liked. They played a variety of songs that pleased all of our guests, young and old. Even my grandmother who was wheeled down the aisle in a wheel chair made it out to dance! Rich was responsive and got back to me even when the office didnt have power! They were also very accommodating when we last minute needed to add ceremony music!

My husband and I were so incredibly lucky to have Phase One and Craig Scott Entertainment as the music vendor for our wedding. Everyone at Craig Scott Entertainment was pleasant and helpful from the very first moment. Rich (the Phase One band leader) and his team were even able to accomodate a request in the 11th hour for a microphone and sound system for our minister. After meeting with Rich and hearing some samples of Phase One, we knew immediately that we wanted them to play at our wedding. From that moment, we couldn't imagine having anyone else. We had very high expectations after hearing those samples and reading reviews. Yet Phase One far surpassed those expectations. They were fantastic! Our guests were dancing all night long! Three months later, our guests are still raving about the awesome band we had! Several of our guests have referred to Phase One as the best band they have ever heard...ever! Hands down, we wholeheartedly agree with that statement! I couldn't stress enough how entirely pleased we were by having chosen Craig Scott and Phase One!!

This is absolutely the BEST band around for your wedding and event needs. Craig Scott Entertainment provided the entertainment for my wedding on October 8th, 2011 and words can't describe what a FABULOUS job they did! The entire night my guests were coming up to me to inform me how wonderful the band was and that at times they though a CD was playing, not a band. In all honesty my husband and I were a little nervous about having a band play instead of a DJ for the wedding. I am beyond happy that we went with a live band and not just any band but Craig Scott Enteratinment. From our first meeting to the day of the wedding they were so accomodating. There was a never a worry in my mind about the bands performance and the day of I think they greatly exceeded any expectations I may have had. I highly recommend Craig Scott Entertainment for all your wedding and event entertainment needs. They were able to provide music for the ceremony, cocktail hour and reception. It was like one stop shopping! Scott could not have done a better job and I honestly feel like I'm losing a family member since the weddings been over =( Again, words do not effectively convey how wonderful the band was. Thank you to all the members who made my day and reception for very special! XoXo

I had an amazing experience with Craig Scott Enertainment! They truly exceeded my expectations and I couldn't have asked for a better band at my wedding. They were sensational and I would recommend them in a heartbeat! My guests danced the night away and we were all impressed with the band's talent. Thank you to Craig Scott Entertainment for making my wedding night that much more amazing!

The band, Phase One, played at our wedding and they did an incredible job! Our guests have not stopped talking about the music and the energy level throughout the evening. They were always accommodating and professional throughout the entire process. They exceeded our expectations and are highly recommended!!

i LOVE Craig Scott Orchestra!!! I got married during Hurricane Irene and as you can imagine, it was stressful. CS was extremely professional, calmed me down when they ROCKED the party! Everyone forgot about the weather and danced all night! I told Scott/Nick our concerns about our conservative Asian crowd. I thought it would be a challenge to get people to dance. I was completely wrong!! There wasn't one person sitting from the first song! I've never seen my relatives dance like that EVER. Their music is like magic. I can confidently say that ALL my guests commented on how awesome the band was at my wedding. To share some favorite quotes from my friends/family: 1. "I had to look up occasionally to make sure it wasn't a CD playing...they sounded exactly like the original." 2. "I made a playlist for my ipod with all the songs I heard at your wedding". 3. "I eat my word when I told you a wedding band is cheezy, your band was beyond incredible (said our DJ friend)." Craig Scott will do anything to help you achieve a personalized wedding. I had them play NKOTB and the Milkshake Song and they didn't even laugh at me (or maybe not to my face...lol). There wasn't one lull in the evening, they know exactly how to read a crowd to keep the party going. Hands down, they are the BEST! Its hard to express in words how fantastic they are, you just need to experience it for yourself. They will exceed your expectations guaranteed!!

Terrific guys to work with.Great choice of music.Everything we could have asked for.

We used the Craig Scott Orchestra. They were absolutely amazing. The band sounded terrific and they had everyone out on the dance floor all night long. CSE was extremely professional and very easy to work with. Totally worth the money.

They were awesome, Fabulous and fun! Craig scott came up with a solution that satisfy my music tastes and my husband's, with a DJ + Singer, percussionist, almost band like, setup that played all the different varieties of music genres we loved! We've had non-stop compliments about the singer and DJ!!

Three years ago my family worked with Craig Scott Entertainment for my sister’s wedding. DJ Neil did a great job. When I got engaged I knew that we’d use Craig Scott for our DJ selection. They are incredibly professional, easy to work with and have a great selection of musical options to complement our wedding day. When we learned that DJ Neil was available for our wedding day we jumped at the opportunity to have him at our wedding. We were supposed to have a phone call to discuss our big day and our vision of the evening. Neil spent more than an hour-and-a-half working through the details with us. He’s incredibly personable, focused on the details and dedicated to making the evening as fun as possible. We had a great reception and Neil did a fantastic job! I highly recommend Craig Scott Entertainment—especially DJ Neil!

We used the Craig Scott Orchestra for our wedding and they were beyond incredible. We kept hearing great things about them from our wedding venue but had never actually heard them at an event. We met with Scott Hornack a year and a half before the wedding and immediately knew we had to use his band. He was wonderful, immediately got a sense for the music we liked, and was so warm and genuine. As a detail oriented bride, Scott gladly honored my request to meet with us again 2 months prior to the wedding. He only continued to confirm in our minds that they were going to be as amazing as we hoped. In the end, they surpassed our expectations. Our guests were up and dancing the ENTIRE night. They played songs from the bands that we listed as our favorite, but they were absolutely correct in saying that we shouldn't give them a list of songs to play because they went with the feel of the crowd and knew exactly what direction to go in. Our guests told us they were the best band they ever heard and we completely agreed. From start to finish, Scott and the Craig Scott Orchestra made everything so easy and truly made our wedding a huge success!!

I spoke with Richard from Phase One and explained my goal: everyone dancing all night long. Well, BOY did he deliver! From beginning to end, there was not a person sitting (not even grandma!) Usually the crowd clears off the dance floor during slow songs, but nope...everyone stayed. They had to be told to sit and eat dinner TWICE.I think Richard must be the human equivalent to PANDORA.com because I gave him four songs and four artists...from that he said, "I understand" and got every song at the wedding right. People even asked where we found a band that played every song we requested...little did they know that the band simply understood what we wanted and made it happen.The singers were having fun with us on the dance floor and dancing the night away. Thanks, Craig Scott and Phase One!

Craig Scott was one of the top highlights of my wedding. It was beyond amazing. DJ Christian had filled all of my request and had everyone out of their seats on the dance floor just like my husband and I wanted. DJ Christian was the life of the party. All of my guest are still talking about how amazing the music was. I can't thank Craig Scott and DJ Christian enough for all of their hard work at making my wedding amazing and one to remember. I will def use them again when needed.

Extremely professional, organized, and wonderful to work with! Our dance floor was packed the entire night!

The band surpassed our expectations and kept the crowd going all night long!! The whole experience was amazing. Craig Scott Entertainment is a truly professional company. It could not have been easier to fill out the on-line information and then have each of our requests performed perfectly. All of the songs were performed perfectly and the singers were on the floor getting the crowd pumped up. The Neue Sting Quartet rocked!! The guest could not stop speaking about the ceremony and cocktail hour. Their expectations that classical music was going to be played and then the Quartet starts rocking out, knocked everyone off their feet. I can’t say enough about the whole experience, music is a very big part of a wedding and Craig Scott Entertainment delivered big!

We loved out DJ! He was upbeat and fun. We were able to have everything we wanted for music and never had a moment without music. From the time people walked into cocktail hour there was a piano player entertaining them and the party started with the upbeat music and it didn't stop for the next 4 hours. We highly recommend looking into them!

My sister used CRAIG SCOTT for her wedding on April 2 2011 at THE PALACE in SOMERSET, NJ and I was blown away but their widespread range! They were able to bring something for all the varied tastes at the wedding! From pop songs, to merengue, to classic oldies and rock, it was a night of non-stop dancing! My family is Latin American, and it was incredible of them to learn a song from Argentina to surprise my family with at my sister's request. They blew me away with that. The vocals are incredible, and my very favorite thing was the genuine enthusiasm of each member of the band. They really know how to work the crowd and get everyone on their feet in a way that is unobtrusive and totally fun. They also did a bit on Michael Jackson that was INCREDIBLE! It seemed as if my sister and brother-in-law brought in an additional entertainer for a show! I never sat down, I danced the night away and would strongly recommend this talented band to any bride who wants a unique experience. DJ's dull in comparison to LIVE SINGING! CRAIG SCOTT will make your reception the party of your dreams! They are fun, classy, top-notch performers and singers. I went to 8 weddings last year and not one band came close to the power of Craig Scott. Give them a call and you'll be convinced after hearing them that they are the way to go for the most important day of your life!
