Looking for a great live wedding band in Cinci!

I am looking for a live band (at a reasonable price) for our reception in Cinci. I'd love a group who could do swing AND current pop/dance music...but if we have to pick one or the other that's fine. Does anyone have any recommendations???

Thank you!

    I LOVE my wedding band... led by Jack Garrett.  Our wedding is in October, and we've already had 3 meetings with him.  He does a lot of swing/jazz... but also does 60s/70s and DJing later in the night with popular hits now.

    He's awesome, feel very comfortable that he knows exactly what my FI and I want at the reception.  He's been doing this for like 30 years... a little pricey, but I think it's well worth it.  It's one of the most important things to give your guests great music, imo. 

    Good Luck, and let me know if you want any more info..  http://www.croonerjack.com/

    I attended a wedding in March that had "Johnny Clueless" and they were amazing!!! It was such a fun reception.  They charge around $3,500.  Not sure if this would be considered reasonable but they were great!!

    The Chuck Taylors, amazing and reasonable price. I hired them for my ceremony and reception. Total is 2,000. They usually play live Friday nights at Hollywood casino. You could make a trip to listen to them. THey have a website as well. Just google 'Greg Lee and the Chuck Taylors's.

    I saw Johhny Clueless at a friends wedding and they were OUSTANDING. The music during dinner was fun but low-key and they had the party going all night.

    Jack Garrett did my cousin's and he was good.

    Airwave is the best live band wedding music I have heard, but they are pricey.

    I am using the mix, they are really affordable and a classy group.

    I have also heard good things about paul otten band.

    Thanks for the suggestions! I spoke with Jack Garrett on the phone and he sounds great...my only worry is, will people get bored/stop dancing with a swing/jazz band? I personally like the music...but will all the guests?
