2008 Wedding Reception - "Dear Gary... Please convey to your band how much they contributed to a very memorable event! Not only were you all professional performers, but wonderful people as well. Thank you for making the wedding a truly special occasion!" 2008 Wedding Reception - "One Beat Back elevated a very nice wedding reception to the absolute best wedding reception we've ever attended. Being the bride and groom, we might be biased, but dozens of our guests have made special effort to tell us the same. Every interaction with the band from initial contact, to planning, to the event was beyond completely professional. They even put forth extra effort to add a special song to their repertoire just for us. Hiring One Beat Back was the best addition to our special day. One Beat Back's fee was also much less than we would have guessed, and nothing could have added more class per dollar. Why spend a bunch of money on a forgettable, carbon-copy DJ, when you can spend a little more on One Beat Back, a great band that plays great music that everyone will enjoy, remember, and talk about for years?" Andiamo's 3nd Annual Sing and Swing for Charity Fund raiser - "I've been to all of these events. You guys just keep getting better and better! What a show! It was a real treat to see the celebrity vocalists: Karen Newman, Judie Cochill and Mark Randisi!!" 2007 Wedding Reception - "I can't begin to tell you how many compliments we received on the music and how much people enjoyed themselves! The quartet was the absolute PERFECT background to a delightful dinner. And the whole orchestra was just amazing. Being 300 miles away, and having booked you on reputation and referral alone, I have to say, we didn't only "do good", we " did excellent"! I think one guest put it best . . . "Everyone listened, everyone enjoyed, even if they didn't dance. It was perfect!" - Bride Andiamo's 2nd Annual Swing for Charity Fund raiser - "What a blast! We can't wait until nest year's event! You are doing it again I hope!!! - Donor who has attended both years Birmingham Jazz Vespers - "This is the tightest band that I have recorded during my eleven years here at the Jazz Vespers Concerts." - Recording Engineer Wedding Ceremony and Reception - "We wanted to thank you for the fantastic job you did at our wedding. You set up such an elegant, timeless and romantic tone for our reception. The dance floor was filled throughout the night with guests of all ages and several people have told us that they loved the music and were sad when it ended! We could not have found a more perfect band. We wish we could do it all over again – this time, we would probably serve fewer courses for dinner so we could spend more time dancing!" Warren Jazz Festival - "One Beat Back is the tightest Big Band I have heard in years." - 73 year old Warren Jazz Festival Attendee Detroit Yacht Club - "Just can't tell you how much everyone enjoyed your group. All the guys in the group are so nice, and Amy (Lead Alto Saxophone) is a real show stopper, can she play!! Thanks again for performing at our Club." - Mark Bugaj Wedding Ceremony and Reception - "An incredible group of entertainers that made our special day stand out in all our guests memories. I was amazed at how many people made a point of saying - What a great band! Where did you find them? Thank you for doing an excellent job! I did not hear the quartet except for 2 songs, but all the guests and family were impressed. - Cindy and Dave Governor's Gala - "Your band did a great job at the 2001 Governor's Gala, you guys sounded WONDERFUL." - Event Coordinator - Michigan Republicans |
