    Mango Punch is an amazing band! They are high energy, fun, and had everyone on the dance floor! They engage with your guests, bringing them on stage, so much fun and interaction! Walter and Susana are a pleasure to work with, very professional, and responsive. In my line of work, I have worked with many bands and this is the band you want for your wedding or gala! Thank you Mango Punch!

    When we started planning our wedding the first consideration for picking a date was when would Mango Punch be available, because we had been to weddings and shows they had been at before and we knew how fun they were. ... Our wedding was such a blast thanks to Mango Punch's expertise, experience, ability to come out on the dance floor with the guests and keep the music going and guests engaged, and personable qualities, and they made the planning easy from our end.

    Mango Punch! was a huge hit at our wedding! The entire night, and even weeks after the wedding people still tell us about how much fun they had because of the band. From the initial visit Walter was very accommodating with all of our requests, offering helpful suggestions and answering all of our questions. The night of the wedding the band was great! I don't know of many bands that would have been able to accomdate a mixture (and variety) of Spanish , top 40, and even Greek music! Mango Punch! kept everyone dancing the whole night. We would highly recommend Mango Punch! for your wedding or next event.
