TS Ensemble or Grand Central Station??

I started looking into bands and the 2 that fit comfortably within our budget are TS Ensemble and Grand Central Station.  We havent seen either live yet, but plan to soon.  In the meantime I was hoping you girls could either share your experiences with either, or reccommend one of them?  We tend to like bar bands/cover bands.  I realize these are both wedding bands, but we're hoping to get that fun-energentic feel at our wedding.  Nothing cheesy and just plain GOOD music and vocals.

Any thoughts on either of these bands??

    Thank you for the reply!  Was there a specific reason you didnt like them or just an overall feeling?

  • We booked Grand Central Station for our wedding next September. They're great live and play a mix of everything from Top 40 to Motown. I think they're actually slated to open up for the Beach Boys cover band at Alive at Five in a couple weeks.
