live music performances

Our daughter, Autumn, was married in Alton, IL back in May 2021.  We hired The Tailgators to entertain our wedding guests after we saw them play at The Sky Lounge.  We were impressed with the band’s talent as musicians, singers, and entertainers.  Their price for playing our wedding was very reasonable.  At the wedding venue, a location that provided limited access prior to the event, it was explained on the day of the event that the area we had planned for The Tailgators to set up and play would not be available.  At this last minute, The Tailgators excelled in their ability to be flexible, and they found an even better location for their bandstand and dance floor.  The band did a great job with their song selection, proven by the fact that nearly every wedding guest was found on the dance floor at some point.  Much of the time, the dance floor was packed.  At the preselected time for the reception to end, we had multiple guests explain how much fun they were having and requested to have The Tailgators extend the party.  They did so for a very reasonable cost.  Best money we could have spent.  Thanks to The Tailgators for making a potentially stressful situation an extremely happy one!
