“Grift Weddings played at both of our daughters’ weddings in Middlebury and in Boston and rocked the house both times! After kicking it off with ‘Twist and Shout,’ they barely took the time to breathe much less let anybody leave the dance floor. A great investment in a great time… and they’re nice guys, too!”
