Bottom Line

The Bottom Line has been one of Northeast Ohio's most successful bands for over 20 years. This 7 piece group is fronted by two dynamic lead vocalists. It can go from sophisticated jazz and ballads to a band that "rocks the house."

Experience, versatility, flexibility, and dependability are some of our strengths. We have never cancelled a job in 20 years. We enjoy working with the client during the planning process. During the performance everyone in the band is focused on making it an enjoyable event for the client and guests alike.

Congratulations to the Bottom Line for being awarded a "Best of Weddings" pick by The Knot magazine for 2010! Readers of The Knot named The Bottom Line as one of the best bands for weddings in Cleveland.

:: CLIENT COMMENTS ::

"If you want your party to be great, hire the Bottom Line. Stanley and his amazing band made our wedding a smash success. They are magnificent musicians, kind people, and if you do hire them, please invite me to your party. It's the least you can do." Maggie Lacey & Bill Heck - Sept. 4, 2011 @ Mayfield Country Club/Sand Ridge Club

"I truly enjoyed having The Bottom Line be a part of my wedding day! I spoke to Norm multiple times leading up to the wedding and he was wonderful and helped with every question I had. Then I spoke to Stan who was just as wonderful right before the event. I have had great feed back from my friends and family about the band. I also have to mention, Stan's smile and joy while performing is contagious! I just wish the night could have lasted longer! I loved having The Bottom Line play at my wedding reception...I highly recommend them!" Shawna Heasley & John Stavlis - July 16, 2011 @ DeLuca's Place in the Park
