We had a great 3 day tour on May 5, 6, and 7th 2011. The Funkeys stopped at 111 Ultra Lounge in Salina, KS on the 5th; on the 6th they stopped at the Kitchen Pass Restaurant and Bar in Parsons, KS; and the final stop was at the Overland Park Marriott Hotel in Overland Park, KS for a wedding. Linda Vena is an outstanding wedding coordinator who coordinated this wedding. We highly recommend her services. If you are getting married near Overland Park, Kansas give Linda a call! Linda has since been instrumental in booking Dueling Pianos International for another wedding in Tulsa, OK.
