“Word Of Mouth, you made our wedding experience the best! As soon as I found you & reached out for information, you were always so quick to respond & didn't make me feel silly for asking all of my particular questions! When you went over the timeline with us, you made it so clear that you know how to pace parties & we trusted your vision for our night. And boy were you right! From our ceremony music, to our cocktail hour, to our reception, the night was full of appropriate, sentimental & fun music! I am SO glad I picked out comfy shoes with my wedding gown because nothing stopped me from dancing all night long! We're still hearing about our terrific band & all of our friends & family keep telling us what a special wedding & reception we had. We know that we, the bride and groom, have a little something to do with that, but you made us look great! Thank you for playing fantastic tunes on the best day of our lives. My only wish is that we can get married over & over again to each other so that we can keep hiring Word Of Mouth! Do you do vow renewals? :)

Alison & Bryan Friedman (May 2008)

“Dave, I just wanted to thank the band for an absolutely incredible performance at my brother's engagement party this past weekend. We appreciated your versatility in playing jazz during the cocktail hour, dinner music while people were eating, & fabulous dance music after that. The band was incredibly professional & sounded amazing. We've already gotten so many compliments -- you made the party such a great success. And we really appreciated your allowing folks to come up & sing along. We can't thank you enough for making it a party to remember -- & we can't wait for you to perform at the wedding as well!”

Mallory Garner (Oct. 2007)

“Dear Dave, Thank you so much for all of your help in the planning aspect of the wedding. It was so helpful to get your suggestions & input. You were always so prompt with returning phone calls & e-mails & made communication a breeze. We were so looking forward to your performance at the wedding & we were NOT disappointed! You guys ROCK! You added so much energy & fun to our wedding celebration... it would not have been the same without you. Also, it was so great of you to go out of your way to let us have those special touches like Chris singing with you guys, Don playing drums, etc. Everyone I've spoken to has gone on & on about how much fun they had dancing & how impressed they were with the band. Thank you so much! It was an absolute pleasure working with you!”

Chris & Kim Dilling (Oct. 2007)

“Hi Dave, Thanks so much for everything! The music was awesome, each one of you individually was awesome. I'm so glad that we decided to go with you guys. You were always prompt & helpful whenever we needed something. The day of the wedding you guys did above-and-beyond what was expected. I want to thank you again for making our day so much more wonderful & memorable. I'll be recommending you guys all over the place! Dave, thank you so, so much. Please tell all the other band members that Berenice & I are so extremely happy to have you guys share in our special day. If you ever need anything from us, don't hesitate to let us know!”

Shawn & Berenice Dawes (August 2007)

“Dave I can't thank you enough for helping me plan this wonderful event in my life from the song detail to the performance itself. You were always there to answer all of my questions no matter how ridiculous & you were personable & knowledgeable in all the right areas. To put it simply- you gave me comfort in knowing that you would do whatever it took to make things turn out as planned. I was especially impressed that your band was willing & able to perform new songs that were not on the list you supplied. When the day finally came to put all of our planning into effect I can't express how happy I was. Everything felt under control & not only did the band sound great but everyone had a smile on their face & seemed to be enjoying themselves. My absolute favorite part of the night was when the band members came down to the dance floor & involved the guests in singing along in the microphone. I personally experienced this & can tell you that it made for a wonderful memory with me & my family. Thank you for creating music for our wedding day that could convey the joy & beauty of our love for one another."

Peter & Heather Bommarito (July 2007)

“Dave, You guys were great!!!! All I noticed all night was the packed dance floor. The night was perfect! I have received so much positive feedback about the band. You really did a great job of playing to the party without taking over the party. Thank you so much. You were great to work with from the beginning to the actual day of the wedding. I didn't have any worry about you guys. Thanks for making me a worry free bride. Thanks again for making our night so wonderful!!!”

Lori & Haws Hexberg (June 2007)

“Hey Dave, You guys did an absolutely FABULOUS job for our wedding! We received so many great comments about how great the band was...... that they were the best they had ever heard at a wedding. The entire process was easy & I know that you guys worked hard to prepare, particularly for Tumy's dad's songs, which was also a big hit with many people..... It would be our privilege to provide a reference to anyone who asks for a wedding or other event. You guys really were a big part of what many people said was the best wedding they had ever been to. We will always keep you in mind for reference. Thanks again Dave, & tell everyone else thank you for their efforts.”

Jerry & Tumy Carter (May 2007)

“Dear Dave, Thank you so much for playing such a big part in making our wedding a hit! You all were absolutely wonderful in so many ways. Thank you for learning our songs and playing them so well. We can't tell you how many people came up to us to compliment the band and we have received so much praise even after the event. "The band was so good" has been one of the comments we've heard the most! Plus we really appreciated your professionalism and responsiveness. When we first met there was a clear difference from many other bands. And we really appreciated your efforts to make everything go smoothly. We wish you the best in the future and we will definitely recommend you to our friends!”

Kristie & Steve Furlanetto (November 2006)

“Hi Dave,Thank you so much!! Everyone at our wedding had such a great time, people are still calling us to comment on what a great band you are and how much fun they had! I attribute it all to WOM. I cannot be more grateful that I came across your number and contacted you. From day one you were professional, helpful, and with all the stresses putting a wedding together we never had to worry about the entertainment, definitely the best vendor to work with by far. You did a fabulous job on the timeline, being the MC and you had everyone from all ages dancing all night. We really wanted an upbeat and fun wedding and WOM provided that for us. We got two requests for your number, hope to be invited to those parties, would love to hear you play again!”

Mark & Diana Crebs (October 2006)

“Dear Dave, I really need to tell you how pleased, impressed & ecstatic Derek & I were about having you play at our wedding. It was such a pleasure working with you. You were extremely professional & helpful, you offered more than just the music & entertainment, you offered advice, insight & comfort. The string quartet, the cocktail & reception music, & all the advice you provided far exceeded our expectations & I cannot begin to tell you how wonderful it was. The way WordofMouth performed & looked was amazing. Everyone I spoke to commented: “These guys are great!” “The band is amazing!” “The music just kept getting better & better!” Even the next day all they could talk about was how excellent you were. Your two lead singers look & sound fantastic, you all are very attractive, professional, extremely friendly & very talented. When one of your guys came down on the dance floor & played his guitar & sang & invited others to sing along everyone just loved it! The ladies you allowed up on stage to sing were so excited to do that. Our experience with you was truly rare & wonderful & I couldn’t be more pleased! Thank you, thank you, thank you for being so wonderfully accommodating, dazzling & superb!”

Karen & Derek Roberts (September 2006)

“Hi Dave, You guys were great!!! You would not believe how many compliments we got on "the band". So many of our friends & family said what a "fun" wedding it was & it had to do with you guys getting everyone involved and out dancing. Even the staff said you were the best band they'd ever had there. From the very beginning you were really on top of everything & contacted me before I even thought about contacting you. You sent the time-line really early on and had questions asking how we would like things done. It made all of us think about things we wouldn't even have known about. I did not realize that the band would play such an incredibly important role in Kristin's wedding. You brought the entire reception into focus very early on. We also didn't realize how much the band could engage the audience & get everyone up & having fun. One time I even saw one of you out there dancing with the little girls!! When I read in your promo package that you would learn "special songs" I thought 'isn't that nice!' However, the way that you implement those special songs into your program made it truly 'special'. The fact that Kristin and Greg got to dance to their favorite song meant so much. You even learned "Amarillo by Morning" for Scott & I. It has remained my favorite song for 28 years & I could not find the music anywhere for our wedding. So thank you for that, it really meant a lot to us!!!! Each of those songs & your introductions made memories we will treasure for our lifetimes. There are so many other compliments. All of your beautiful smiles & how you all appeared to be having fun. The way you all were dressed so nicely. Your very professional manner before, during, & after. So many little things that we didn't know to think about. Please be sure that all the band knows how much we appreciate you all being a part of & making our daughter’s wedding so much fun. Take care & good luck to all of you.”

Laurrie Crawford, mother of the bride (July 2006)

“Dear Dave, I can't sing your praises enough. WordofMouth was outstanding & gave our wedding the party we were looking for. All of our guests were singing your praises & we all just had so much fun. Your understanding of the group dynamic, getting everybody out on the dance floor, & emceeing for the evening were all beyond phenomenal. We are forever indebted to you & WordofMouth for helping us realize our dream wedding. Please add Jay & I to your referral list. Thanks again!”

Rebecca & Jay Rosen (May 2006)

“Hi Dave, I wanted to say thanks for making our wedding day so wonderful! We had such a great time & a big part of that was due to you & your band. You guys were awesome & kept the party going all night. I've had so many compliments from relatives, friends, & coworkers saying what an amazing job you did. You played something for everyone, from jazz & 40's to current pop & rock. You also did a great job interacting with the crowd & getting everyone involved. You guys were fabulous & helped make our night complete!”

Nicole & Mark Goldberg (April 2006)

“Dear Dave, We wanted to say thanks to the band for doing such a spectacular job at our wedding! We received so many compliments from our friends & family. WordofMouth played a large part in making our wedding so enjoyable & fun. For our parents & their friends to get on the dance floor & dance away, it's definitely a sign of what a great band you are! As for the planning process, every email or call from us was returned promptly. We really appreciated that. You were one of the few vendors that we didn't have to worry about. You were also very willing to learn the new songs that we requested & played them really well. Your advice on our wedding timeline was also very helpful. It kept our guests entertained & the dance floor packed until the very end. We had such a wonderful time working with you & the band. Thank you again for being so professional & we look forward to working with you again in the future!”

Angela & Sunny Cheung (September 2005)

“Hi Dave!! I really think that there isn't any other band that could have done a better job for my reception than WordofMouth!! First off, you were so easy to work with from the very beginning. You were fast in returning my emails & calls whenever I had a question (I wish I could say the same for some of my other vendors!). At the reception we kept talking about how great you guys were!! We’ve been getting compliments from EVERYONE!! My parents said that you were the perfect choice & that their friends kept gushing about what a great time they were having & how you were playing great music at a sound level that was appropriate to maintain dinner conversation. You kept the evening flowing, learned the songs I requested PERFECTLY!! & kept everyone entertained! I really hope that one of my friends gets married soon so they can hire you & I can just enjoy your music. Thanks again for all your help Dave!! You've been great to work with & I wish WordofMouth many more years of continued success!! P.S. You should update your DVD, you’re so much “hipper” in person!!: )”

Trista & Douglas Lerit (May 2005)

“Hi Dave, We are still on cloud 9 about how wonderful everything turned out at the wedding!!! You guys were perfect... I could go on & on about what an awesome band we hired!!! I am sure you get this all the time, but everyone I spoke to commented on how awesome the band was & what great songs they played & how well they played them... seriously, no joke!!! I want to have another big party just so that we can hire you again :) You guys really made the night for us & all of our guests. As far as our experience with you---you were so friendly & willing to do whatever we wanted... you were patient & always responded quickly to my questions & emails… your announcements were enthusiastic, but not cheesy & overbearing... you played all of the songs we asked you to play (& played them sooo well!!!)... your band members looked like they were all having fun & enjoying themselves... you were the whole package!!! I am so thankful that I found you guys. I would refer everyone & anyone to hire you! A billion thanks --- I will never forget that day & how happy I was!!!”

Alexa & Bob Waltz (January 2005)

“Thank you so much for the wonderful job you all did at the wedding. You guys were fun, energetic, and very professional. We are so glad that we hired you. You worked with us, did everything we asked and more. We can't count how many times we were asked by our family, friends, and even the hotel staff where we found you guys and who you were. Dave, we would both like to especially thank you. You allowed us to come to your home to view the demo video and took the time out of your evening to do that. You explained the contract to make sure we understood it. At no time did we feel pressured to sign anything when other bands told us to hurry and book or else someone might beat us to it. Your price was the best that we'd seen. We didn't feel like you were trying to gouge us. One band manager offered to do our reception for $5,900 (his "best price") when they "normally charge $10,000". They later contacted us after we showed no interest and lowered the fee to $4,000. After we told them that we hired you for less he said that he would have done it for the same as Word of Mouth. We felt that his only interest was the money. You were not like that at all and we felt that we could trust you. You were never too busy to go over any details or help out with anything. You offered suggestions that were very helpful without making us feel like you were taking over the event. Other bands we spoke to told us how it was going to be, not ask how we would want it to be. You went to the wedding rehearsal to view the ceremony site, cocktail hall, and dining room to ensure everything would work smoothly. All the time and effort you put into the event was evident and the end result was the proof. Thank you for everything. We would gladly recommend you to anyone and have all the confidence in the world that you would be nothing less than perfect.”

Ken & Jennifer Hoover (November 2004)

“Thank you for making our wedding day so memorable & special. Everyone agrees you made the party! Our guests keep telling us how much fun they had. The atmosphere was exactly what we wanted… the music during dinner was sophisticated & elegant & the rest of the night was fun & energetic. Plus each of you looked like you were having as much fun as we were! Then you gave me the greatest gift by allowing my dad to sing to me. I will never forget that moment as long as I live. I was so touched when I found out he even practiced with you. You’ve been so professional & fun to work with. From our first conversation I knew WordofMouth was going to be perfect. Most bands who tell you they can play everything from Sinatra to ACDC can’t play it well. Quite the contrary with WordofMouth! You impressed me more with each song you played. If I closed my eyes I would’ve believed ACDC was at the wedding. It was so awesome! You guys went above & beyond the call of duty. You could have just played & collected your money but you did so much more. We truly appreciate everything you did to make our wedding so special. Thank you again!”

Kristin Trutanich (October 2004)

“We had such a perfect wedding day and so much of it had to do with you guys! You were awesome, perfect, energetic, helpful, fun, fantastic and everything we could ever hope for on our wedding day.  Everyone was so impressed with you guys!! My mother who is a musician herself must have complemented you guys 100 times during dinner alone!! She told us this was the best band she had ever heard. And when Marc & Lisa sang together --she was in heaven!! (She also can't believe how little you charge.) We're so thankful and blessed that we found you. You guys set the standard and were exactly what we were looking for. In fact we're trying to think up excuses to hire you again. Thank you again and if there's anything we can do for you please let us know!”

Yolanda & Dean Hu (September 2004)

“I cannot tell you what a GREAT job you did at the wedding on Saturday night! You made this most special occasion so memorable. The professionalism & energy that you demonstrated was outstanding! I don't think we'll ever forget your rendition of "Living on a Prayer" by Bon Jovi...as evidenced by the crowd, it was something to remember. Thank you, thank you! In closing, if you ever need a reference or testimonial please feel free to use me... thanks again for everything. You guys were awesome!”

Al & Joanne Comolli (May 2004)

“We have had nothing but amazing feedback from our guests! Everyone loved you guys. In particular, everyone really thought you did a great job of emceeing, the music was fantastic, and you did a great job of keeping the party going but also moving the reception along. I really can't tell you how many wonderful things people have said about your performance. Thank you so much!”

Meaghan & Tom Williams (March 2004)

“I do not know where to begin . . . . Chris and I wanted to thank you for making our wedding day such a great success. You guys did an amazing job! Everything was perfect . . . from the ease of the pre-wedding planning, to the music, to the announcements, to the entire flow of the evening. I don't think that I have ever danced that much. Even Chris was dancing up a storm and he never dances! Our guests are still talking about what a great job WordofMouth did. Thank you for making our wedding such a memorable event!”

Chris & Meredith DeMartino (October 2003)

“Just wanted to write a quick note to say thanks again for the great performance at our wedding a year ago! We watched our wedding video on our anniversary and the music really was perfect. Recently we went to another wedding where they'd hired a cheesy DJ and everyone at our table started talking about our wedding and how great the band was! Keep sending those prospective brides and grooms my way and I'll keep talking you up!  Thanks again!!”

Kelli & Dan Ochoa (August 2003)

“My wife and I want to thank you for making our wedding so memorable. Your professionalism before the wedding date and energy during the reception was greatly appreciated. I'm in the music industry and after seeing other bands and then watching WordOfMouth perform at another wedding, the choice was obvious. You didn't let us down in the slightest and after seeing the dance floor packed until the very last song, I have to say everyone else was just as impressed! I've already recommended WordOfMouth to friends and for corporate functions as well. I hope to work with you again real soon!”

Trevor & Laura Collins (July 2003)

“Well we're still buzzing from the great job you did at our wedding! You really made it a memorable occasion for everyone. From the start we had to put the reigns on many of our friends who wanted to get up and dance even before our First Dance. The way you moved around with the wireless mics to reach everyone got even the wallflowers involved. Plus we really benefited by letting you put the program and timetable together. You knew how to read the crowd and play to what worked best. One suggestion though is your video doesn't do you justice. You guys are far better than the video indicates!! Many thanks for an incredible job. You made it a night we'll never forget!”

Bill & Gay Himebaugh (May 2003)

“You were simply fantastic! We had people tell us that our reception was the best they had ever attended. You certainly can't acheive that without good entertainment. WordOfMouth's versatility allowed us to customize our reception beautifully - playing jazz in the courtyard began the evening with a nice touch of class and then you rocked the reception. It was a spectacular day and you were a big part of it. Thanks again and you have our highest recommendation.”

Jason & Amy Black (April 2003)

“We were so happy with our reception and WordOfMouth made the event. From start to finish you were prepared, energetic and professional. When our guests arrived, you were ready to go and kept the night moving. The music you played during dinner was classy yet energetic and fun and we loved that people were dancing inbetween dinner courses! The best thing was how you could read our guests. You knew when to slow it down and pick it up. I was nervous after our long toasting session that our guests would be done for the night but you got them engaged and right back out there dancing. Everyone danced till the very end and we still didn't want you to go. The room was buzzing with energy and that was a result of having you there. I give you my highest recommendation and cannot say enough about how wonderful you were. Thank you WordOfMouth!!!”

Jill & Adam Raschke (February 2003)

“Where to begin . . . Thank you, thank you, thank you! You made the night perfect and everything we had hoped for! The party was a hit and you guys make it happen. Thank you for dealing with the continuous changes and the tireless crowd that had you going until the end . . . you guys were troopers! Your energy and style was amazing - we are so thankful for everything. If you need recommendations we'll be the first in line!”

Chris & Kasey Massey (January 2003)

"Thank you so much for the outstanding job at our wedding! You sounded great! We received so many compliments on the band. Our families and friends are still talking about you. You are easily worth more than twice what you charge! We were amazed at your ability to keep everyone dancing all night - even our grandmothers! Your professionalism, appearance and quality is definitely high class. Thank you again for an extraordinary job. Any bride and groom would make a big mistake if they passed you up!”

Carol & Travis Simon (November 2002)

“It might be a tie-breaker, but I'm pretty sure I heard, "God, that's an awesome band!" more times than "Congratulations!" You guys were fantastic! Everyone had so much fun. Our littlest cousins, the teenagers, our friends, our parents and even our grandparents raved about you. My grandfather, who only listens to the radio for baseball games, even told us how great you were. When anyone asked me about you guys, I had so many good things to say. Throughout the planning process, you were very helpful, very professional and always quick with a response. You made everything so easy compared to the other bands we'd talked to that we were hoping it wouldn't be too good to be true. Luckily, you more than exceeded our expectations. You played something for everyone and we couldn't believe how many people stayed and were still dancing until the last song. Dan and I were thrilled! We couldn't have asked for a more perfect day and you contributed so much to that. We'd highly recommend you to anyone in need of a great band who's lots of fun. Thank you again and again.”

Dan & Kelli Ochoa (August 2002)

“We want to sincerely thank you for your services. Your ability to create a custom event for us was nothing less than spectacular. Your play lists including our special requests were performed superbly. You demonstrated versatility and creativity in every aspect of your arrangements. The execution of the music was only part of what made your service so fantastic. As emcee for the evening you managed every detail and our wedding reception was like a well-rehearsed play. I cannot give you enough superlatives you were truly great in ever aspect. The best thank you I can give you is my open door for unlimited reference calls. Anyone would be mistaken to choose another entertainer for their special event.”

 Michael and Lisseth Corrao (June 2002)

 

“We would like to thank you for doing such a great job at our wedding!  We received so many compliments from our guests about how great the music was.  We feel that you guys did an amazing job and would be more than happy to recommend you.” 

Elan & Yelena Hertzberg, (March 2002)

 

“Jen and I would like to thank you for helping make our wedding such a successful event.  WordofMouth was magnificent!  The compliments we received over the course of our wedding regarding WordofMouth was tremendous.  You play a wide range of music for all age groups including timeless pieces which enabled us to keep all of our guests entertained.  Also, I can't thank you enough for being so cooperative during the pre-wedding stages.  Jen couldn't stop talking about how your attention to detail was second to none.  We wish you luck in the future and hope to require your services again (for a different type of occasion of course!)”

Ryan & Jennifer Vos (November 2001)

“You guys were perfect . . . the perfect band for the perfect event!”

Bill & Ashley Worthy  (March 2001)

“On behalf of DemandVideo Corporation, I want to thank you for an incredible night of music and entertainment during the Western Cable Television convention last week.  During our corporate party at the Westin Bonaventure, we had over 250 invited guests in attendance.  We heard nothing but rave reviews on the entertainment you provided.  We were especially pleased with how you accommodated Academy Award nominee, Pat Morita, and his spontaneous vocal renditions with your band.  The song selection, sound levels, presentation and performance were all absolutely perfect.  Thanks again and I look forward to an encore performance next year!”

Paul McKellips, Senior Vice President, DemandVideo  Corp. (November 2000)

 

“Thank you so much!  We had an excellent time and so did our guests.  You guys did a great job with getting our guests to dance.  At first we had a major concern that it would be hard to get our guests to dance but boy were we wrong!  We wouldn't hesitate to recommend you.  My dealings with you guys have always been very professional and accommodating.  Every request turned into reality.  What more could you ask for?  Thanks again for making our day so memorable!”

Tommy & Soyeun Hui  (September 2000)

“You were wonderful to work with on a business level.  Not once did you forget to return a call or an e-mail.  I was impressed that you were always following up with us to make sure that everything was going well.  Actually I do not think I had to call you at all to remind you about anything.  In fact, it was probably the other way around.  Kelly and I thought the music was wonderful.  The sound was clear and vocalists were great.  Actually, I liked your bands' version of our song better than the version we gave you.  As for what other people thought about the band, I am still getting compliments on the music at our wedding.  Everyone old and young has complimented on the music.  I wanted to thank you again for making the music part of our wedding so easy.  It was a pleasure to have your band play at our wedding.  Please pass along our thanks for a wonderful performance to the rest of the band members.  Please feel free to pass our number on to people who need references.  We would be more than welcome to let people know how pleased we were with having your band at our wedding.”

Eric & Kelly Ensman (July 2000)

“You guys were great!  You were definitely the hit of the party.  Everyone really had a great time, especially when you took requests and let our friends sing!  And thanks for being so adaptable to our schedule.  We definitely plan on hiring you next year and I'd highly recommend you to anyone interested.”

Monty & Tracy Yort (December 1998 & 1999)

“I really enjoyed listening to the band Saturday night.  It was fate that I went there and I'm sure glad I did.  It was a blast when you had the audience play 'Name That Tune'!  I'd love to hire you for our company's annual Christmas bash and for a special charity fundraiser.  Thank you again and I really thought the band was awesome!”

Kennedy Abrams (August 1999)

 

“You guys were so much fun!  Thanks for being a big part of the success of our annual July 4th Celebration.  After the event we received so much positive feedback.  And thanks for being so professional and easy to work with.  We hope to have you back again next year.”

Christine Evans, Stage Manager, Brea 4th of July Country Fair (July 1999)

 

“Thanks for the wonderful job you did at our wedding!  We received so many compliments from our family and friends about the band.  The mix of songs you played was perfect.  We couldn't be happier and can't thank you enough for helping give us the wedding we dreamed of.”

Loren & Christine Johnson (May 1998)
