String Quartet, String Trio
"They did such a great job switching between songs and played beautifully! We had many compliments from our guests."
String Quartet
"They should of connected with me right away. When I finally saw them they seemed to be just figuring out what they were going to play. They played fine but the timing was off and this is what I was afraid of . I tried to give them a outline of the service but that also seemed to confuse them. There needs to be more coordination of when songs start and when different parts of the processional begins. It just was alittle frustrating. You know just because a song starts it sometimes should play alittle bit then the party should begin but there was no coordination of that . Especially for the bride."
Solo Piano, Jazz Piano
"We hired Crook & Company for our garden wedding reception outside Green Bay. They traveled 2 hours to get to us. They played as a duet for the cocktail hour, and after dinner the full quartet played swing for approximately 3 hours. When we were planning our reception Arron was responsive to our questions and professional. He was helpful for much more than just the aspects directly related to the music. He clearly communicated his needs to our wedding coordinator and made several suggestions for changes to our schedule that worked out great. The band’s performance went above and beyond our expectations, bringing a classy vibe to our garden wedding. They are passionate and talented performers. Arron has a beautiful voice. Many of the guests noted that the whole band seemed to be enjoying themselves. They were very personable with guests and took several requests. They were flexible and adaptive through the whole event, quickly adjusting to several last second changes that arose. Arron helped with announcements and provided sound equipment to use for speeches after dinner. Several of our guests had musical backgrounds and commented on the technical quality of the performance. Many asked us, “Where did you find these guys? They are great!” We had a fantastic experience and highly recommend Crook & Company!"
"Met every expectation."

"The performance by Talon was awesome! He made my wedding reception most enjoyable. He is very professional with his sax and his appearance. The atmosphere was set to smooth music and the audience loved it. They thought that his Sax was a recording. I will be requesting him for future engagements!"

"Sounded great and excellent song choices. It was a great overview but some of the performers didn’t have a ton of information about their type of material or video/audio"
Jazz Duo
"Arron used lyric sheets and his phone for much of his performance. I think his looking down and unfamiliarity with the lyrics detracted from his performance. Otherwise, I like Arron's voice very much and, the pianist was very talented."
