Here is a testimonial from a very happy bride and groom:

Sept. 11, 2010 Wedding - Fountainebleau Inn, Alpine, NY

Hi Jim, A big hug and sincere thank you for the part you played in making my wedding the absolute best day of my life. Never have I had so much fun, and the amazing job the band did really made the night! Guests were telling me what a wonderful job you were doing all night long. Your tunes appealed to all ages, from the youngest flower girl who came home and told her Mom that when she was dancing she had many "fans", to my parents' generation, who loved to hear the songs from their youth. Your songs had my Uncle cutting up the dance floor, using up the hip he was to have replaced the next week! And the terrific rendition of "Only You" made for a wonderful and emotional Father-Daughter Dance I will always remember. Finally, thank you for playing a perfect version of "Stand By Me" (and for allaying my concerns about timing the morning of the wedding!) and for allowing us to show off the dance lessons we'd been taking. As I said before, your poise and warmth made the evening actually relaxing for me - avoiding the rushed feelings other brides get from DJs / Bands keeping a schedule. A million thanks yous and a promise to come see you perform at other venues!

Best, Katrina & Allan
