Help! Band/Orchestra needed

Hello....I'm having a hard time finding a good band or orchestra for my reception. I'm looking for a dance band or orchestra that can play old as well as new songs, but I don't want a Motown band. If they can throw in some polka's, that would be a bonus. Does anyone have any suggestions?

    I've been to a few weddings with the High Society Orchestra which is very good!! However they book really far in advance.

    We used High society orchestra. LOOOOOOOVED them. Everyone danced ALL night long. The band leader is a little weird, but they are totally worth it.GL!

    The Chris Sarlas Orchestra will be playing at our wedding in October.  So far through my planning process Chris has been one of the best vendors to work with.  He responds to email in a timely manner and is very down to earth.  I think his band even does polkas.

    We're using High Society in September.We were at a wedding a few weeks ago and Peter Hennes played. They were phenomenal.  Ken Arlen is also great.

    Fantasia was fantastic at our reception...they don't play that many new songs though, mostly oldies...but they were excellent. The dance floor was packed the whole time. And they play a few polkas.

    The Stu Hirsh Orchestra will be playing at my wedding in June. http://www.stuhirshorchestra.com/ My FILs went to a wedding that they were at and have raved about them ever since. They insisted on this orchestra and I am really excited about it! HTH!
