One of my pet peeves about wedding ceremonies is that bridesmaids and groomsmen are frequently asked to walk down the aisle together, never having met and barely knowing each other's names, if at all. Been there, done that? Well, so… read more... |

"Mike,
We are back from our honeymoon and getting back to the grind but I wanted to take a second to thank you for everything! Since 10/3 we have had so many rave reviews about the reception, the night in general, and especially you guys!
You all really blew our expectations out of the water...the way you handled the day, playing some songs to get everyone comfortable and dancing during dinner, then cranking it up and keeping everyone on their feet. It was perfect and we cannot thank you all enough. We were pulled outside for pictures at one point and when we came back in to visit the rest of the tables, there was nobody sitting, everyone was up and dancing!
From the bridal party entrances, to the first dance being amazing allowing her uncle to sing with you guys, to the very last song! It was a perfect night for us both and you guys deserve so much credit. Everyone the next day was so blown away with how much fun you guys were and how they had never been to a wedding and danced so much!
I'm positive you sold a number of our guests on using you guys in the future, I've already heard a few rumblings. Someone made a comment about how impressed they were with you imparticular, how you kept everyone on schedule, the energy up, and organized.
Thanks again for everything and we both just wish we could do it all again in slow motion so we could get a chance to enjoy!
If you are playing anywhere that we can come check you out please let us know...we would both love to see you guys again. Also, if you need a reference Cristin and I would be more than happy to be on your list. Couldn't have bigger fans!"
-Matt Eanes October 2009, Edgemont Country Club, Newtown Square, PA
"Mike - I just wanted to thank you so much and tell you what an amazing job you guys did at the wedding. You were definitely the talk of the night! Everyone has been saying how wonderful the band was. Please let me know if I can do anything - Im working on a formal thank you letter but it might take me awhile to get it out to you. But if you ever want to give my name and email to a prospective client I would be happy to talk to them and tell them how fabulous you guys were.
p.s. I am so sorry that the guests basically harrassed you guys into playing one more song and I'm so appreciative that you did:) Those last 30 mintues on the dancefloor was one of the highlights of the night for Chris and me!"
-Molly Pendergrast September 2009, Olde Mill Inn, Basking Ridge, NJ
"I want to say and give our sincere and heartfelt thanks to the All About Me Band, the best wedding band out there. I'm a musician and took enormous care and time to find the right band with the best song list and especially the best presence and excitement for my daughter's wedding. All About Me Band was absolutely number one even over some of the outrageously high-priced bands who didn't even come close to All About Me. They are so attentive, will learn songs for you, and when they play songs, you will be amazed how much they are just like the original artist. Forget the DJ, go with All About Me. Finally, the best compliment we can give is what everyone at our wedding said: "Where did you find this band, they are the BEST band we have ever heard! Ever!" I'm not kidding, everyone kept coming up to us and saying this. We thank them for making our day a dream to remember!"
-Kevin Viola, Father of the Bride, July 2009, Marriot, Conshohocken, PA
"Brad and I can't thank you enough for making our wedding SO special with your music. We are entirely lucky to have found such an amazingly talented band for our "big day". Claire de Lune was stunning, thank you so much for playing it for us. Your music set the scene and we had so much fun dancing the night away. To this day our guests still ask about you guys!!!! Thank you for sharing your musical talents with us and our guests, you made our wedding spectacular and unforgettable. Forever appreciative!"
-Liz & Brad Kramer October 2008, PNC Bank Arts Center, NJ
"Where do I start? Cynthia and I are still riding such a high from the wedding on Saturday. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Everything was perfect. The set list was amazing. You read our minds. The Jimmy Buffett songs you incorporated were spot on. Thank you for taking the time to learn them.
Our guests continue to rave about the band and the "steel drummer" on the beach. You guys were a hit!
When Cindy and I began the journey to plan our "beach" wedding, we knew two things: (i) we needed a great band that would work well with the beach surroundings; and (ii) we needed a beach location. Well, Cape May, NJ and Congress Hall provided the perfect setting and All About Me really made it feel like a beach wedding. I think we hit a home run. I hope you guys enjoyed it as much as we did.
You are all very talented musicians and I only see a bright future for all of you. Good luck with everything and again thank you.
Now, if I could think of another reason to have a party so that I can hire you again...."
-Mark & Cynthia Dahn, August 2008, Congress Hall, Cape May, NJ
"Dave and I just want to thank you for getting a great party going. We had soooooo much fun at our wedding and owe a lot of that to you. Guests could not stop raving about you and we can see why. We have never been so pleased with a band as we were with you. The music choices were phenomenal and that last song totally rocked - I (Karli) get gittery when I hear it on my ipod. Furthermore, thank you for all your help in organizing the night and being soooooo accomodating to our wedding needs. We loved you guys and wish you all the best. We hope to see you at future events. Please email us if you are ever playing at a bar close to Philly as we would love to hear you play again. You got our vote for best band! We have definitely spread the word about you guys and if we are ever in the market for a band for a big event we will definitely keep you in mind. Thanks again for makng our wedding so much fun!"
-Karli and David Ross, July 2008, Society Hill Sheraton, Philadelphia, NJ
"Just want you to know that the music for our wedding was wonderful. The music for the ceremony and cocktail hour was just right and set the mood for both perfectly. The band provided great sound and energy at the reception that we hoped for. They were terrific. We received many compliments from our guests about them. The All About Me band was a major ingredient in our wedding being something we will always look back on with joy."
Nancy Lutin, Mother of Bride, June 2008, The Prospect House, Princeton, NJ
"We just wanted to let you know how wonderful the band was. Everyone could not stop talking about you guys! We even had someone ask for your info because they are interested in booking you! Thank you again for accomodating all our special requests, you guys really made our wedding spectacular!"
Mr. & Mrs. Andrew Jaques, May 2008, Pen Ryn Mansion, Philadelphia, PA
"Mariann and I would like to thank you again for the great time we had, in a large part to All About Me Band, at our Seaview party on May 3rd. Your band fit so well in that room and with us. Again, it is something we will always remember. We'll pass along your business cards and check your site from time to time to try to catch All About Me Band at Ott's. Again thanks for the great Party!"
Mariann and Gerry, May 2008, Seaview Marriot, Galloway, NJ
"We wanted to email you and thank you for the AMAZING job the band did at our wedding on December 8! You guys looked great, sounded awesome, did everything perfect, and had everyone dancing! The thing that people commented on the most about our wedding was you guys - how fun you were and how great you sounded. Everyone loved all the choreography from the horn section and the Love Train line! We had many people ask us how we found you and there were a few that wanted your business card, so we told them about your website. The songs we asked you to learn were played so well - I can't thank you enough for that! My dad is so picky about music and the Glad All Over song is one of his favorites. He said he can't wait to see the video so he can hear it again because he thought you guys did such a good job with it! Sorry to be gushing, but you guys made our party fabulous and I am so glad we had you there! People also can't stop talking about Matt playing the cowbell - you made his night with that :) You were all so easy and wonderful to work with too. Please pass this along to the rest of the guys - I hope we see you all at another wedding soon!!! Thank you again - you guys ROCK!!!"
Beth and Matt Gniazdowski, December 2008, Philadelphia, PA
"The band was WONDERFUL!! A lot of guests complimented on the performance of the band. Thanks you for everything. You will be the first person I call for events.
Gail Conner, Obama Fundraiser, April 2008, Doubletree Hotel, Philadephia, PA
"WOW, WOW, WOW. I can not thank you enough for helping make one of the most important days in our lives also one of the most memorable. You were unbelievable, more than we ever could have hoped for. Your talent as a band was only surpassed by your kindness. What a nice ."
Maria & Bob Stumpf, Parents of the Bride, February, 2008, Pen Ryn Mansion, Philadelphia, PA
"We can not thank you enough for playing our wedding. Live music was our top priority while planning the wedding and it certainly paid off. Everyone we have talked to says they can't remember the last time they had that much fun at a reception! I even saw some uncles dancing that haven't hit the dance floor in decades! This is all thanks to your great musicianship and flexibility. We were so touched that you arranged our first dance and father-daughter dance song just for us. The musicians in your band are amazing and really interacted with our guests to create an energetic atmosphere. Music is an important part of our lives, thank you for making it an exceptional part of our wedding."
Dave & Regina Schmitt, August 2008, The Boathouse, Cherry Hill, NJ
"Happy New Year! I just wanted to take the opportunity to express my sincere gratitude
for helping to make our 2007 Holiday Party a success! I also appreciate your willingness to work with us on a few business matters prior to us committing. It shows that your company understands
that business surpasses the night of the event in the form of exposure
and future opportunities. I really enjoyed working with you and finally meeting you and all the
members of the band. Again, Thank you for a job well done. I look
forward to working with you again."
Terry Luckey, December 2007, Independence Blue Cross, Penns Landing Caterers
"How are you? I am sorry I didn't get to write you a
thank you before we left on our honeymoon, but I wanted to let you know how
AWESOME you sounded at our wedding. We had an amazing day, and so many
people have told us how great our band was. Thank you for making our day so special. I really appreciate the time you
took to help us choose the music and play (and even learn) the songs we
wanted to hear at the wedding. Thank you SO MUCH! You were truly amazing. I
didn't leave the dancefloor once the whole night, and Brian, who never
dances, was even out on the dancefloor! I just can't thank you enough. You guys are awesome. And please pass on my
thanks to Ed, who sounded fabulous playing the trumpet at our ceremony.
Again, thank you for everything. You were one of the nicest and easiest
vendors to work with. We returned home from Hawaii on Saturday, so I am trying to get back to
reality, but it is hard. We have a lot of pictures of the band, so I will
be sure to send them to you. Looking forward to talking to you soon!"
Monica and Brian, September 2007, Aronimink Country Club, Newtown Square, PA
"Just wanted to send a quick, but heartfelt, note to say "Thanks so much!" for the wonderful music you and the band provided. We have received lots of compliments and I wanted to be sure to tell you that!
You were wonderful to work with and I would be happy to work as a reference for All About Me should you have a need.
We will definitely be in touch when/if there are future events. Thanks!"
Linda Dillinger, October 2007, Fox Chase Cancer Center, Sheraton Philadelphia
"We just wanted to thank you so much for performing at our wedding. You
guys were so amazing! We have people every day calling us to get your
name and comment about how great you were. Our first dance song was performed
perfectly. This is something we will never forget and we are so happy
that your band was a part of it. Everyone's been saying it's the best
wedding they've ever been to and we'd be lying if we didn't say that you
and your band had so much to do with that. We have a few pictures of you
performing and people dancing, having a blast and I will forward them
on to you as soon as I can get them on the computer. We will forever recommend
you to anyone who is looking for a band for any occasion. Thank you so
much again!"
Rachel and Rob Fisler, June 2007, Indian Springs Country Club, Medford, NJ
"Thank you so much for playing at our March 10th wedding. You made the
evening so much fun. People were raving about you for weeks after and
are still talking about it. That day meant so much to me, so thank you
again for making it extra special! Keep rockin!"
Stephanie & Jamie Gregorian, March 2007, The Grand Ballroom, Collingswood, NJ
"Thank you so much for the super job All About Me did at making our daughter's
wedding a truly great party! We all had so much fun, as I'm sure you could
easily see from the packed dance floor all night! We got so many compliments
on you and will recommend you highly!!"
Diane & Steve Narleski, Parents of The Bride, May 2007
"I cannot even begin to say enough about how pleased we were with you and
the All About Me band at our event at Longwood Gardens on Saturday night.
The music was perfect and you were such a pleasure to work with. I have
spent the last three days fielding over-the-top praise for the event,
and your band was a huge part of it!! We loved the spirit and fun that
your band delivered. It made the night!! Again, many, many thanks! I'll
recommend you to everyone! All the best!
Deb Goggins, Delaware Valley Friends School, April 2007, Longwood Gardens, West Chester, PA
"Thank you Mike & All About Me for creating the most perfect wedding
celebration! Your band did an excellent job of keeping our guests entertained
and dancing. We needed a larger dance floor to accommodate everyone who
was up and jumping. We would love to celebrate with you guys all over
again!"
Adela & Jason Katkic, September 2006, Family Residence
"You guys were unbelievable, by far the best band we've
had. Reserve the date for us next year!"
Beth Richmond, Medford Township Fireworks, July 2006, Medford, NJ
"Thank you so much for the wonderful performance at our wedding! You made
the best day of our lives unforgettable! We hope you had as much fun as
we did!"
Allison & Craig Cancro, June 2006
