They highlighted the unique aspects of Ebe's business model, including their in-house production and variety of talent. They also talk about the history of the company, which started with one band and has now grown to seventeen bands over twenty-five years.

    Stephanie emphasized the importance of taking a planner's perspective to approach weddings and create a positive guest experience through music. They both agreed that providing quality services is crucial in the entertainment industry and that companies should prioritize this over making a quick profit.
