What a wedding!!!!  Tuxedo Junction was terrific...you exceeded my expectations. The dance floor was overflowing the entire night. Somehow your music selections pleased both the young crowd as well as the more mature segment. I have received so many compliments from guests about the Band.

Thank you would be an understatement for the fabulous, professional, outstanding performance by Tuxedo Junction for sister and brother-in-law's 50th wedding anniversary.  They love music and love to dance, so the band was my special gift to them and I knew you would make it the best gift ever.

I've hired many bands all over the world in my previous life as an event planner, but I've never been as thrilled by such a talented and professional group of musicians and singers.  Guests at the party did not leave the dance floor.  I receive calls daily with great accolades about the band and what a fabulous time they had.  The music makes the event and you certainly did that and much more.  Your range of songs seems to be endless and you definitely motivated every age group to get up and dance.  Your band was everything you promised and much more.

Thank you very much.

Wow!  Tuxedo Junction was simply amazing and we had the most wonderful time at our reception at The Hotel Northampton.  Everyone just loved the band’s wedding style and music.  I have never been to a wedding before where after a six hour reception people still wanted “one more song!”  The band was everything we were looking for and so much more and we are so very pleased that you were all apart of our wedding day.
 
Also, it was very nice to speak with you several times and even meet up before the wedding.  You truly made us feel that our wedding was important and special to you and the band.  I seriously can not thank you enough for everything you did for me, from learning a new song for our first dance to helping organize the musical introductions, etc.   Larry, you were truly one of the most accommodating, patient, and pleasant people I have ever worked with.  I wish you all the best and we can not wait to come to Capone’s to hear the band play soon!
 
Thanks for making our wedding great!

Dave and I want to thank you so much for the absolutely wonderful performance your put on for our wedding reception back on September 9, 2006.

When planning our wedding, we heard from many people, that the music sets the tone for the reception.  So after the ceremony, when we arrived at Lake Pearl for the reception, the second we heard you start to play, we KNEW that this was going to be a fantastic party!!  We had people dancing all night long!  We knew the music was a success when you see friends and family that you’ve known all your life who have never danced at events before, stand up, step onto the floor and dance the night away!  It was so great to see!  It had a sentimental feel as well, to see how much fun they were having, dancing and having such a great time.

This coming September, Dave and I will be married for one year, and still to this day friends and family reflect on our wedding day.  Whenever we reminisce about details, you always hear from someone, every single time, “That band was FANTASTIC!”  Were you ever!

Thank you again for adding such an amazing and special touch to our wedding day.

Warmest Regards,

On behalf of one very beautiful bride, handsome groom, the entire wedding party and all of our guests, thank you for your part in making Sheila and Rich’s wedding on June 17, 2006 a memorable event.

Your band exceeded all of our expectations.  We were happy to see the dance floor packed, with everyone having such a great time.  After all of the planning that is involved in a wedding, it is so rewarding to hear positive compliments.  The wedding took place almost a month ago, and people are still talking about this wedding.

We want to share with you the comments from the guests .... "is that a recording or is it the band?" ...."they sound better than the original artists" .... "the band is terrific", and most important to us as parents of the bride .... "we’re having a great time" .... "thank you for inviting us".

Best wishes for your continued success in making beautiful music!

We just wanted to send a note of thanks to you and Tuxedo Junction for playing at Christine and Koby’s wedding on July 3rd at the Fairmont Copley Plaza, and for coordinating the evening’s activities.  Everything went smoothly.  We so enjoyed the music from the upbeat numbers to the mellow ones.  My 92 year old father-in-law, a die-hard Sinatra fan, especially enjoyed “Volare” and was happy to dance a few numbers with his two granddaughters.  And I know that Chrissy and Kobe were very happy to hear the songs which you learned at their request.  Al enjoyed the Hora!

Larry, thanks also for the elegant keyboard music during the ceremony – it all sounded so good, and was so much better than having pre-recorded music.  Most importantly, everyone enjoyed the occasion.

Sincerely yours,

We want to thank all of Tuxedo Junction once again for the fabulous performance at our wedding.  All of the comments we heard about your band were well founded.  You kept the guests dancing all night and they have not stopped talking about how wonderful they thought you were.  In addition, several people made comments about how "big" the band sounded and that they were impressed with the wide-range of vocal and song stylings.  Several of the songs sounded so good we had to do a double
take to see if you were playing the original.

We really appreciate that you were able to play most of the songs we requested, stayed away from the ones we wanted to avoid and knew how to keep the evening flowing with true professionalism.  We would not hesitate to recommend Tuxedo Junction to others and you will be receiving our first call if we need a band for future events.

Thanks again for helping to make our wedding a memorable and special occasion!

We also want to stress what a pleasure it was to work with Larry on the details.   Larry, you were responsive, helpful, and always had a great attitude.  
 
They say that a good band and good food make a wedding, and your music surely made ours!!!  I would recommend you highly (and already have) to any bride or groom-to-be!  We knew from the beginning that we really liked your band and felt comfortable with having you perform on one of the most important days of our lives...and it was great to confirm that we were right!

Hi -
I was the photographer yesterday at the Griffin / Davis wedding at the Red Lion Inn.  I just wanted to say that you are the best!  In my 11 years of photographing weddings, I have seen live bands, but boy did you make the wedding!  The dance floor was never empty. I was finished at 10:30 so I did not get to stay and listen for the remainder of the night.  I do have your card, and I will definitely be giving your number out!  Not only does the entertainment make the wedding, but the entertainment makes the photographer's time more enjoyable as well as offering more photographic opportunities throughout the night, that may otherwise not be there. I truly hope we do cross paths again.

I can't thank you enough for playing at my wedding!  I labored over almost every single detail of my wedding, except in regards to the band.  I had the best feeling talking to you, and then when I heard your music it was so obvious.  I knew you were the band for me.  It was one of my first, and definitely the simplest of my decisions as I started to plan my wedding.  And other than my decision to marry Mark, it was the best wedding decision that I made!  It seems hard to believe, but I would say you had a good two-thirds of my guests on the dance floor before dinner was even over.  Everyone was having a great time from the teenagers to our oldest guests in their 70s and 80s.  It goes without saying that my mother loved you, and the truth is that it's not every band that she loves.  And as for me, you could not have been more pleasant to work with in those weeks and months before the wedding as I was trying to put everything together.  You and the whole band are a class act.  I just wish I had another opportunity to hire you, but I would recommend you to anyone without any reservation.  Thank you again for everything.  My wedding day is now one of my happiest memories.

Yours sincerely,

Paul and I want to thank you and the band for the wonderful performance at our 2004 Valentine's Day wedding. Our expectations were more than met! It was a pleasure corresponding and talking with you during the pre-planning stages and in coordinating with Betsy on the day of the event.  Everything went off without a hitch and was so well orchestrated! It is obvious you all take pride in and enjoy your work. 

As you know, the dance floor was packed all night. We have had many inquiries about how we found the band and how great you were. Everyone truly had a wonderful time dancing and that is clearly obvious from the photographs we have already received back.

Thank you also for learning our song on short notice. The band played it as if it were part of your normal play list. Hopefully it now is!

We hope we get the opportunity to see or hire you again!

Warm wishes and heartfelt thanks to all of you.

Just wanted to take a brief minute to thank you all for the fabulous music you played at Kelly and Steve's wedding. Dave and I and Steve's parents are still receiving telephone calls praising your band.  Many have commented that while you played non-stop all night, people were happy with the fact that they could still carry on conversations with other guests and be heard.  So often, the music is so loud that people have to try to talk (or yell) over the music.

Kelly and Steve are still on their honeymoon and I'm sure you'll be hearing from them when they return.  Also, you should know that the function coordinator told me that it is very rare that the dance floor is completely full at the end of a wedding as it was at the end of our wedding. In our case, the wedding lasted  6 hours and our guests could have kept dancing even longer!!!!  That is because of the multi-talented group of musicians you all are.....But I've known that for years!!!!!

Best regards to all,

Just wanted to drop you all a quick note....Steve and I knew what a great job you guys did playing at our wedding in August.  However, it wasn't until we received our wedding video (at Christmas) that we realized truly just HOW TERRIFIC you were.  What an outstanding job you did of getting EVERYONE (including all kinds of no-dancers) out on that dance floor, and keeping them there all night long!  During the dinner music, walking around playing instruments, etc...it was just AWESOME!!!!  Thank you! Thank you!  Thank you!  You are each truly so talented as well as very professional.  Our wedding reception would not have been half as much fun (and classy) without you!  Thanks again and Happy New Year!

Bryan and I want to thank you for your incredible performance at our wedding reception.  You truly made the night come alive with music.  I cannot tell you how many guests commented on how great the band was!

I am so happy that we chose such an experienced and professional group of musicians.

Thank you so much for making our day unforgettable.

Fantastic !!!   There is no other way to describe your performance at our daughter’s wedding reception last Sunday.  You are a very talented group and certainly know how to keep our guests on the dance floor.  Our phone is still ringing and everyone is commenting on how great you all are.  Tuxedo Junction is the best band ever, and we just had to let you know.

Thanks so much for your contribution to our daughters’ wonderful wedding reception.

Please accept my sincerest thanks and appreciation for the absolutely beautiful job you, Jake, Betsy and the rest of your wonderful musical group, did for us at my daughter's wedding, March 29th, 2003.

You made Danielle and Mike's special day, even more so, with your tremendous talent, patience and true warmth and style.  Both my wife and I have received numerous praises about the wedding music and most especially about your versatility and presentation.

From Jake's pleasant guitar style, to Richard's blazing sax along with your keyboard and vocals (as sick as you were), you all combined for a great sound and a very enjoyable evening. The dance floor was always filled, by both young and old who appreciated the different styles and sounds. 

I would especially like to thank Betsy, for taking the time to learn my special request for our father/daughter dance. She has a tremendous voice and she sang that selection beautifully. Danielle was surprised by the song because she had never heard it before and it touched her deeply. That was the true highlight
of the evening for me.

This is the second time my wife and I have used your group and we will continue to sing your praises to one and all. As I stated earlier, you made this special day, even more special and meaningful, and we thank you all very, very much.

David and I both want to send you a very sincere THANK YOU for your
beautiful work Saturday evening! It was very important to us to have a
very personal occasion to which we thank you for helping us to achieve.
IT WAS ABSOLUTELY gorgeous and heartfelt by all who attended.  Every
guest made a special point to acknowledge how significant our special choices in vendors set the tone for a such a beautifully romantic and intimate evening. 

I got about 15 emails just this morning raving about how much our guests had FUN.  Even at the end of the evening when you were breaking down, a good majority of people were STILL hanging around wishing it wasn't over.....we are speechless!

Again, thank you for making it such a spectacular evening!

Fondly,

Ellen and I, and Jessica and Albert, want your colleagues and you to know how great you were last Saturday evening. You performed beyond our expectations!

Ellen and I have been to more than our share of weddings and bar and bat mitzvahs over the years. Tuxedo Junction is one of the best, if not THE best, that we've ever had the good fortune to hear. All of  you are to be commended on an incredible performance.

As you are keenly aware, good food and drink is important at a wedding. But when our guests think about and remember last Saturday evening, it will be because of the fun they had. And that, Larry, was because of Tuxedo Junction.

Please feel free to use Ellen and me, and Jessica and Albert, as a reference any time. You're the best!

I just wanted to let you know that since I've come in to the office this morning EVERYONE has been raving about Tuxedo Junction. Not that I had any doubt that the band would let me down. I just never expected the CEO of the company, the V.P. of Finance and the Assistant Controller telling me that I had wonderful taste in bands! The buzz in the ladies room from the higher ups from our International offices was how much they LOVED the band. They loved how you played for the crowd and how you knew which type of music would get everyone up dancing.

Thank you again!

Bill and I want to thank you very much for providing such beautiful music for Rebecca and Jeff’s wedding.  You definitely set the tone right from the start and the evening just flew by from there.  Our guests could not stop talking about how wonderful the band was.  As you assured us, you knew how to “read” the crowd to keep everyone dancing, and it was definitely evident by the very fact that the dance floor was never empty.  Every photograph I look at has people smiling and dancing.  At the end of the evening, when you announced that it was the last dance, I heard an “Oh!”, and I was sure had we asked you to continue playing, people would have stayed longer, as the dance floor was still full at the time.

Once again, thank you for creating a musical environment that allowed everyone present to dance and laugh and have a great evening.  One, I must add, we will never forget.

I would strongly recommend the services of Tuxedo Junction.  I had heard Tuxedo Junction twice before our wedding, including a company Christmas party.  I was extremely impressed with their ability to recognize the dynamic of the crowd and the tunes that needed to be played.  This musical experience served us well.  

In addition, I found Tuxedo Junction to be a quality wedding vendor, one of the best in relation to our event.  They were straightforward, honest, and professional.  Their ability to perform at our wedding with minimal instruction and guidance was pleasant and helpful.

We just wanted to let you know how thrilled we were with your band’s performance at our wedding on Saturday, July 27, 2002.  Everybody had a fantastic time, and of course a lot of the credit for that goes to all of you.  Although it was an extremely busy day for us (!), I did notice that you worked in a lot of the songs we had requested.  The set list was a terrific mix of old and new, slow and fast.  Every person I talked to thought you were just great.  In a crowd equally balanced with young rockers and older folks who prefer the classics – as well as everything in between – you somehow managed to keep everybody happy.  (Not to mention lots of musicians, too – and we all know how critical THEY can be!)

I honestly can’t say enough positive things about all of you.  You are a talented group of people who work very well together, and if you ever need a recommendation, please feel free to use our name (we have the same one now!)

Obviously, every couple hopes that their wedding day lives up to their dreams and expectations, and that they can happily look back on it with delight.  We both felt very lucky that everything about our day turned out perfectly, and you were part of why it all went so well.  Again, thank you so much for everything.

continuous play keep us and our guests dancing all night long, your friendly

"Please accept our most sincere thanks and appreciation, to you and your band,      for making our wedding a TRUE celebration. Your talent, dedication, and sheer enjoyment for your work came through in every song you performed, and Alex and I couldn’t have imagined it any better.

I can guess that I was probably one of your "tougher" customers - I asked you to learn many new songs, sing in Hebrew and in Yiddish and play for 6 hours, pretty much non-stop. I gave you a very challenging Klezmer piece to learn for the ceremony, and you played it beautifully! I asked you to keep our guests dancing all night, and YOU DID!!! You played every single piece I had asked you to play, and more! I can’t begin to tell you how many compliments we received on your performance.   Throughout the reception, countless guests came up to us, and mentioned what a great band we had found, and how professional you sounded.

I will always remember what an enormous part Tuxedo Junction played in our wedding celebration, and will enthusiastically recommend you to anyone who asks. Perhaps we can see you perform again, in the future - we’d be delighted. We are very grateful to you, and wish you every success!!!"

"Well , what can I say?! As expected, your band was unbelievable and we were so delighted with your performance. You kept everyone dancing from the young flower girls to our oldest guests - all night long.

Special thanks for learning some extra 70's songs. Usually, when we hear bands we really only enjoy about 1/2 of their tunes, but that was not the case with Tuxedo Junction. I loved every song and worked up a sweat dancing. The photographer caught some fun pictures of our guests and John and I dancing, and it shows everyone having a great time.

Special thanks also for keeping us organized and helping to assemble everyone for the 'Grand Entrance'. You kept everything on schedule so I didn't have to think about a thing- which is ideal.

Well, we've heard nothing but rave reviews, so thank you for making our day special."

Your music really created the perfect atmosphere for an “elegant”; yet “fun-filled” event!

All of our guests “raved” about your music!  Tuxedo Junction so successfully entertained 250 guests of all ages and musical tastes …. WOW!

Most often the bride and groom worry the entire day, hoping all the guests are enjoying themselves, but judging by the dance floor, we were able to “kick off our shoes” and have a ball, too!

Thank you, again!
