ACCOLADES AND QUOTES

Steve! I had a blast and thought y'all did a wonderful, wonderful, wonderful job! I had SO MANY people give me compliments on the band. They all wanted to know where I found you and asked about your website. You made me feel so special and I loved all of the songs y'all played. Dan liked everything a lot, too. I loved all of the little stories you told about why I chose certain songs. :) That makes it so much more fun!

We just had a really good time and an awesome experience this weekend and I know a lot of that it because of you. Everybody we've worked with on the entire wedding/reception was just great. Now that the big day is over, I won't know what to do without stalking you all of the time about music. lol But hopefully, I'll get to hear you again soon and if not, then I'll eventually just have to come up with a reason to have another party! Thank you again for everything! Hope to see/hear you soon!

We all loved you and had a blast dancing the night away. Just to let you know how great your music is... my mom never dances and you got her out there to boogie!!! I am still in shock! I can not thank you enough. You are such a joy to work with and to listen to as well. Please keep in touch and let me know of any public events if any that you will be playing at because we would love to hear you play again.

Steve,

Wow, thank you for a great reception. The whole wedding party and the
invited guest loved being a part of the reception. From the first song
till the last you were great. My daughter (the bride) was super
pleased. As you know, Dads will do almost anything to make their
daughters happy. Wow did you....thanks for meeting all her requests
and for making our party one to remember.

Blessings,

In the 6 years as a wedding coordinator, I have worked with many, many different bands and you were by far the most accommodating, pleasant, talented and entertaining band ever!

Thanks so much Steve! You guys did a wonderful job! George Wyatt

Mr. Wells,

Thank you to all of you for playing so beautifully at our reception!! Davis and I felt so bad that we didn't get to tell you guys how much we enjoyed having you. It seemed that we never moved from the cake table area the whole time, and then we left. Everyone had such wonderful things to say about you all. Thank you again!!

Dear Steve:

Just a note to let you know how much our Class of "55 appreciated you and your group playing for our reunion dance. Especially, taking the time to humor us by working up the older numbers. Come to think of it, they were all older, but we enjoyed dancing to them! Everyone had a great time and our class as well as the others attending thought the music was just great. I have heard a jillion comments about the dance and every one of them expressed how much each enjoyed your music.

"It was a knockout!" Thanks again.

Sincerely,

Charles Bice

Steve, we were actually just talking in the cab from the airport about what a wonderful decision it had been to hire your band for our reception--simply put, we could not have been happier. You did an outstanding job with the Jewish music and the rock 'n' roll and everything in between! Thanks so much for your fabulous performance and for all of your help setting up the sound. It was all perfect. Best, Lindsay

To add to the praise, Steve, we were truly delighted with your band, from start to finish. It was precisely what we wanted and even better than we imagined. It was a pleasure working with you and I wish you the best in all future endeavors. Warren
