I hired Stu and the Savoir Faire Band for my January 15, 2012 wedding, and they rocked! We had the seven piece band, and the sound and energy was incredible. They were great at getting people out on the dance floor, and the set list had something for everyone. Every member of the band was so talented and so much fun. The live music made the party, and many of the guests were wanting to know where we'd found our band! One guest told me, "I've been married 40 years and I've never seen my husband dance this much!" And the husband's response? "The band was good." I guess it's that simple...
Stu was also a great MC for the reception. I didn't want someone that was tacky or over the top, and Stu was just perfect. He announced everything the way we wanted, and he did it in a way that wasn't disruptive and maintained the flow of the party.
Working with Stu was very straightforward. We had one in-depth meeting with him early on in our planning. After we signed our contract, he continued to be very accessible, returning emails and phone calls promptly. When we decided we needed sound equipment for the ceremony, he added it on to our package for a very reasonable price, and he took care of all the details so that we didn't have to worry about anything. I'd definitely recommend the Savoir Faire Band for anyone considering live music for their wedding. -

First let me say, Savoir Faire kicks up the party beyond your expectations. Here's the bottom line...your guests will say things like, "I felt like I was in a movie" if you hire Stu and his band. Hands down the best wedding entertainment I've seen. Savoir Faire played my wedding reception and brought it to another level.
If you're on the fence between getting a DJ and going with the band, go back to your budget and cut everything until the band works. I guarantee it will be worth it. Early on we knew we wanted a band, but were unsure we could afford it and and were really nervous about picking the right one. We wanted a band that felt contemporary, had a lot of range and could really put on a good show. We filtered through hundreds on gigmasters and http://partypop.com. We narrowed it down to about a dozen that we contacted and actually went and heard 3 live to get a feel for what was behind the mp3's. Stu stood out from the beginning.
He has been in the business for a long time, is well known and liked by many other vendors (our caterer - who was also amazing - knew him well and gave the thumbs up). He made us feel comfortable right away, first offering to meet us just to help us get to know him, the process and the opportunity better. He could be a wedding planner himself. He knows the show inside and out. Stu had ideas on the timeline, flow, music and how he would keep our party going. After talking with him I knew these guys were going to bring a show that would be like I was dreaming about.
Savoir Faire will make your night. They have such range, know how to read a crowd and can get everyone up on the dance floor. They were able to play songs from Tony Bennett (father/daughter dance) to Bon Jovi and current dance hits. Unbelievable. Their performance was flawless. Stu MC'd the entire evening, sounded incredibly pro (I can't even explain how cool it was that it didn't come across cheesy - he made the whole evening seem so polished). The band rocked it. Every one of them is incredibly talented...sax, drums, keyboardist, bass, guitar and vocalists.
Oh, and P.S., get lighting...that little recommendation made the night magical.
Stu - we loved our night. Thank you and the band. it was everything you said it would be and more. Fairytales man....that's the business you're in. -

Savoir Faire is a very good cover band. Very versatile, very professional and very entertaining. They know all the hits. They play at Boswell's in Campbell Ca about once a month. They had the place jumping!

Meet the Business Owner: Stu C.
Entertainment runs in Stu's blood with generations of Musicians, Vocalists and Leaders in his family tree. Raised in Nor Cal, Stu grew up with two brothers that played instruments around the house and in clubs since he can remember. This combined with Stu's natural ability to relate to generations of music and work a microphone put him in the perfect position to become Savoir Faire.
In 1994 Stu got his break with a major Nor Cal production company to get started as DJ/Emcee/Agent for special events. In this position, Stu honed his craft and learned how to make parties happen. Bar Mitzvavh's were his specialty from 94' - '98 which gave him the ability to entertain all ages. Along those years Stu added the band to the mix and became a pro vocalist along with the DJ/Emcee and became the Savoir Faire Band. From 98' forward Stu has specialized in Weddings and has since become one of Nor Cal's finest acts for all types of events. Savoir Faire Band is now heading into it's 16th year.
