LETTERS OF REFERENCE
Matt and I would like to take this time to truly thank you for making our wedding day even more enjoyable than we could've ever possibly imagined!! We knew you guys were good, but you guys were unbelievable. It was so nice to see all of our guests up and dancing all night long!! Every person we see that was at our wedding tells us how much they enjoyed you guys and how much fun they had dancing. Even the owner's at Five Bridge Inn told us that you were the best band that has ever played there. A lot of people told us that what people remember the most from wedding is the food and the music, and they were right. I don't think anyone will ever forget you all, especially Matt and I!!! Lastly, my father and I would like to graciously thank you for learning our father-daughter dance, it was such a heart-felt moment for us!! We hope to come see you guys play soon, we always love to hear you play!! Thank you all again!!!
Matt and Amanda

Hello David - I just wanted to drop a note to express our thanks to you and your bandmates. We had a perfect wedding celebration and have gotten many comments from our guests about our great band! You guys sounded terrific, ran a very professional operation, and certainly kept the dancefloor crowded all night! We hope you all enjoyed yourselves as well, and we hope to see you at another wedding in the area (or The Terrace) soon. Regards,
Corinne and Chris

I just wanted to write and say a HUGE thank you for the evening of June 23rd at Butternut. Everything from the ceremony music, to cocktail hour, to the reception was perfect and I couldn’t have imagined anything better! Your music as well as your friendly personalities really went beyond my expectations for the night. It was like having old friends at the wedding!Also, thank you so much for learning the last song. If you ever decided to record that for your website, I would love to get ay as it was a beautiful rendition of such a simple yet elegant song. I only regret that I didn’t have more time to sit back and enjoy the music with all that was going on that day! Again, I really appreciate everything and would certainly recommend your band to anyone who asks! I have already recommended you to my sister for her wedding next July 6th. Best Wishes,
Meghan

I want to thank you for everything last night. You guys are so GREAT!!!!! Everyone has been saying such wonderful things about you. We had a great time and most of it is because of your performance. I can't thank you enough!!! We are off to St. Lucia but wanted to say thank you before we left. Sincerely,
Maribeth E.

We just wanted to thank you again for the amazing job you did this weekend! You surpassed every expectation we had and helped make the event a huge success! As I told the rest of the band on Saturday, you were the nicest band to work with - what a great group of people. George and I would be more than happy to act as a reference for you. Susan Clark from the Round Barn mentioned that she would like to add you to their band list. Many people came up to us and raved about you guys. Everyone thought you were fantastic! Thanks again for everything!!!
Linda & George

You guys rock!! We had such anunbelievable time at our wedding dancing the night away w/our family and friends. I've only been home a few days and so many people have been telling me how great the band was and that they have never danced so much at a wedding, etc... You guys were simply the best - everything that we had hoped for. And we can't thank you enough for learning our songs and for learing Auld Lang Syne for midnight - how cool was that?! Having you guys do the countdown was so great and then the balloons and the song were just perfect for New Years. You guys were so great to work with and so easy going - we can't thank you enough! You will definitely be seeing us out and about at some of your shows as long as you promise to play Neil Diamond! :) By the way we loved that you played Neil Diamond to end the night - how funny was that?! The place went nuts singing w/you guys! Thank You, Thank You!!!!!!!!!! Happy New Year,
Jen & Brian

Teena and I wanted to thank you, Becky and the rest of the band for aspectacular performance on Sunday!!! Your enthusiasm and professionalism wasmuch appreciated by everyone- we still are getting compliments on yourperformance. We're headed off to our honeymoon- but just wanted to drop you a quick note toshow our appreciation. Please don't hesitate to use us as a reference for future performances- inparticular, Indian weddings could be a bit challenging due to family members whomay be less familiar with modern rock, etc.- your choice of songs were onesthat could be enjoyed by the young and the old- everyone, of all age ranges,were on the dance floor Sunday night and had a great time. Thanks again for making our wedding such a memorable and special event! Regards,
Neal and Teena

I just wanted to thank you for playing at our wedding reception! You and the band were amazing, I have received so many compliments from our guests for you guys! Our reception went so well, and I truly think it was because of the music! You sounded great, and I really loved how our special dance songs sounded! Thank you so much! I hope you enjoy the rest of the summer, and I will be checking your website for any public appearances that Ed & I can attend!Thanks again,
Jenn & Ed

I just had to write and thank you again and to compliment The Return on a job very well done! So many people have commented on what a great sound the band has and how much you contributed to a great reception. I know Jenn and Ed were delighted with the day, and so were her Mother and I. Again, thank you and best wishes for the continued success of The Return.
Phil (Father of the Bride)

Thank you so much for a spectacular performance on July 30th! You soundeed amazing and truly exceeded our expectations! Thanks for being so professional, enthusiastic, and fun! Our guests raved about the music both for dinner and dancing. You engaged our guests and certainly contributed to the success of our reception. We have enjoyed working with you over the past year, and appreciate your dedication and willingness to accomodate us. Very gratefully,
Amanda and JJ

Thank you SO much for helping us and our guests enjoy a wonderful evening. The music was outstanding! Our guests had a wonderful time, and they are still talking about how much fun the evening was. Everyone (including us) thought that the band was fabulous. From the first day we contacted you, you have been professional and extremely easy to work with. We hope that you had as much fun that night as we did! Thank you again for everything - you are all incredibly talented musicians, and we were thrilled with the way that the evening went. We couldn't have hired a more perfect band. Thank you for being patient, understanding, and so much fun! We would be more than happy to serve as a reference. Kind Regards,
Lauren and Scott

You guys were amazing!! I can't tell you how many people came up to me after and asked where the heck I found you guys. One quote was "they sang Dancing Queen better than Abba!" I've never been to a wedding where people were chanting for one more song and stomping their feet...I think it was a success!! Thank you guys again...your made our day perfect!!
Amy and Tony

We wanted to thank you all so much for an absolutely incredible performance. Everyone LOVED you guys and you were so great to work with. We will definitely recommend you to anyone that gets engaged, because you really made our wedding extra special! Thank you again and we wish you the best of luck with everything!
Danielle & Matt

We are back from out honeymoon and finally getting settled so I wanted to write you a quick note of thanks for doing such a great job at our wedding. We got so many complements on the band. Both my mom and Chris' dad came up to us during dinner to say how great you guys are. My mom was nervous about not hearing the band prior to the event. She didn't want a band that would be loud and overpowering especially during dinner, but she was extremely impressed by you guys. You were so well organized and kept things flowing nicely. This was especially good since I had no idea what was going on from one second to the next! I will be recommending you to all my friends who are looking for a band for their wedding. Thank you so much for a job well done!
Elisa & Chris

I just wanted to send you a quick note thanking you SO MUCH for your work at our wedding. You were great when the elderly guests requested quiet music during dinner and you were RIGHT on target with the music you chose for the dancing portion of the night -- I've never seen a dancefloor packed like that continuously throughout the evening. Really just perfect!! Everyone has told me how great you all were....it's been the primary comment on the wedding! You made our evening perfect....just what we wanted....and the cops showing up 10 minutes before it all would have ended anyway just made it all the better...I mean, how many brides get to say the cops had to break up their wedding because people were having too much fun???? Thanks a million -- you made it the night we'd both dreamed about for almost 2 years!
Meghann & Will

Thank you so much for making the trip to Sunday River to play at our wedding. Your band was awesome and everyone had such a good time. We had a lot of compliments about your band. Thank you so much, we couldn't have asked for anything better. You were so organized and so professional about everything. I never actually got to say good-bye and I am sorry. Thanks again for everything. You have such a great band both in performance and organization.
Thank you,
Leigh & Ron

Words cannot express my appreciation to you and the band. You truly made the wedding a true celebration. I cannot tell you how many people came up to me and raved about you guys. The dance floor was packed the whole night. "These are the Moments" was so perfect!!!! Two of my Bridesmaids thought it was a CD and were so shocked when they looked up. You guys sang that so beautifully and started off the night perfectly. "Aimee" and "Annie's Song" were also big favorites, but I loved every song you played. The introduction for Jim's parents and Mikayla were perfect too. All that I can say you outplayed more than my wildest dreams. Thanks for making our day so special. I will surely pass your name along to anyone I know. Keep up the great work!
Annie

We wanted to thank you for putting on such a memorable performance at our wedding. As you know, we felt strongly that the band was one of the most important aspects of the whole event...we really had high expectations, and you guys delivered all the way. It was a fun, edgy, and unique performance that got people to dance but didn't feel forced, canned, or cheesy, like the music at so many weddings. The prevailing feedback from our guests was that you guys were awesome, and that your rock-infused set list was very "us". So, again, our deepest thanks for being a part of our wedding, and if you'd like to use us as a reference or anything like that, please don't hesitate to get in touch. All The Best,
Elizabeth and Mike

Hi there! Hope all is well. I have just dropped a note in the mail to you and the rest of the band, which hopefully you'll get in the next couple of days. I just wanted to tell you how fabulous you all were and how immensely happy Rob and I were with your performance at our wedding last month. Everyone is still talking about how great you were and how much fun the reception was with all the dancing. Thanks again for everything - you guys were GREAT!
All the best,
Anne

Thank you so much for everything on Saturday night...we had a GREAT time!!!!!!!! And so did everyone there. I got so many compliments on you guys. Icouldn't have asked for a better night. Again, thank you so much...we are off to St.Lucia for some relaxation. talk to you soon,
Jamie

I just wanted to let you know that every time I run into someone or talk to someone who was at our wedding, they all tell me how tremendous the band was. I have also had people asking if you would come to Connecticut to do other weddings. Let me know how you all feel about that. You definitely made a very special day complete and I will never stop thanking you or bragging about you!
Peggy

I would like to thank you for the incredible job you did at our wedding. We had a wonderful time and feel as though we couldn't have picked a better band. You were perfect, and so many of our guests have commented on how much they enjoyed the band. Thank you so much!! Of course, my favorite song was the song you sang for us as we did our first dance. It was beautiful!! Thank you so much for taking the time to learn that for us. It is very much appreciated. Thank you again. Take care,
Tom and Beth

You guys were truly wonderful at our wedding. You really made the reception!! I am so glad we decided on live music, and I know all our guests were very impressed with your band. You guys sounded awesome, and I would recommend you to anyone and everyone. Thank you so much for everything.
Jaime and Linus

My wife and I would again like to thank you and all your band members for the superb performance the night of our wedding. We have been told time and time again by our guests how great you performed. It is evident in all the pictures how filled the dance floor was at all times. A number of people were asking about your availability, we will spread the word.
Thanks again,
Tom

Thank you so much for making our wedding so special! We thought you were amazing and many of our guests thought so as well! Thank you so much for learning "Here with Me". It sounded great. We will definitely recommmend you to other couples-we know several you are getting married in the near future. Thanks so much!
Jen and Eric

You guys did a great job. You guys sounded excellent and we really do appreciate you learning all of those songs for us. Fisherman's Blues was a hit! We're very happy to give you a reference. Thanks again.
Sarah

Thank you for making our reception so enjoyable. I received so many compliments about you guys! My Dad wants to come see you play in Boston! I'm so glad you guys were able to share the day with us. I tried to take in as much as I could and one thing I did remember was "Start the Commotion"! I was so excited to hear it! All our special songs sounded great, 'Wonderful World', 'Because You Loved Me', and 'From This Moment'! Rich and I have been looking back and remembering things and just smiling.
Love,
Lisa and Rich

Just wanted to let you know how much we and our guests enjoyed your band. We have been receiving many compliments re: how great the music was. Testimony to that is how crowded you kept the dance floor from beginning to end! You contributed to a memorable day for our daughter.
Thank you,
Richard and Barbara

Hi David, thanks for the message...and an ever bigger thanks to all of you in the band...you were OUTSTANDING!!!!.... We couldn't have asked for anything more from you!!! Chris and I had so much fun at the wedding - it was a perfect day!! Thanks again and give our best to everyone!!
Amy & Chris

All I can say is that our wedding reception was one of the most memorable nights of my life. this is largely due to the incredible music that allowed our guests to drift on and off the dance floor for four hours straight! You guys are incredible and I thank you for being a part of our wedding celebration!
Jim

Thank you for helping to make the wedding as fun as it was for us and our guests. Although I feel like I barely had a chance to see and hear you guys, everything I heard was great and from comments I heard from other people, everyone else thought you guys did a great job as well! Please relay our thanks to the rest of the group and if you guys have a mailing list or anything that tells people when you're playing gigs (other than weddings!) around the area, it would good to see you in other venues as
well.
David & Tamara

Thanks for all your help at the wedding. You guys were fantastic, and I've heard such great feedback from many of our friends and family. If you need a testimonial, or could use our help at all for future promotion, recommendation, etc., just say the word. Thanks again, and good luck to you guys for continued success with everything. Best,
Caitlin & Mark

Hi David, The wedding went off perfectly - neither Phil or I could have imagined it going better. Please extend the thanks to the rest of the band. Your experience and flexibility went a long way in making the night memorable. Everyone gave us compliments on the band saying the wedding was the best they have ever been to. Thank You again and maybe we will see you in the future.
Josee & Phil

You guys were fantastic! I had several people ask where I found you and tell me that you were great and that they were having such a fabulous time! Thanks for making our reception so much fun...and most especially for the special version of our whacky first dance song. You are truly a group of professionals that were easy and comfortable to work with. Hope you enjoyed yourselves. Again, thanks for everything and if we are ever in the market for a band again...you are definitely our choice. (As well as anyone else we know who might need one!). Take care and please share this e-mail with the band.
Cheryl & Tom

You guys did such an amazing job performing at our wedding!! We had such a great time dancing and our guests did too. We got so many compliments from everyone on what a great job you guys did. They were saying that it looked like all of you were having just as much fun up on stage as the guests were. We were really happy with the songs that you had learned for us. They all sounded great. The CD for the afterparty worked out really well. Thanks again for making our wedding such a memorable event for everyone!!
Jen and Dan

We both had a fantastic time at the wedding. The day was perfect and everything really came together. So all our planning and hard work paid off. You all did a fantastic job. (even with people pawing at ya'.) I appreciate your professionalism and everyone looked great as well. The sound was great and we enjoyed and appreciated the special songs that you learned for us. I am glad you folks had a good time as well. Thanks again and we will keep in touch,

We're a little late in getting to this, but we didn't want to overlook it...Thank you so much for the wonderful job you did providing the music for our wedding.
