Amazing live entertainment

Highly recommend this band for your wedding or special event! Steve is so charismatic and very talented as is his female vocalist. The entire band is talented. So glad we decided to book this band for our wedding instead of a dj. Our guests really enjoyed them and everyone danced until the very last song. They totally made our night. Thanks again Steve!

The best part of my wedding was having Steve Anthony & the Persuasion as our band. They were affordable, local, accessible and easy to work with. They had a great mix of old and new dance music, and our guests were dancing before the salad course was brought out, until the very end of the night. They are the reason everyone will remember my wedding as a great time, they got everyone on the dance floor and played all the right music! Hire Steve Anthony, he is the best!!!!
