Absolutely endless praise for Foster the Beat!!! It’s been one year since our wedding and our family is still raving about the band’s performance! Michelle and the band members joined us on the dance floor and even welcomed my family members to join the band! Thank you Michelle from the bottom of our hearts; our day truly would not have been the same without you!”
