"Saturday's event was a huge success, esp. with respect to [The SC Show Band]! All the guests were completely effusive about them, raving about their outfits, the song selection, the energy, and overall professionalism. They definitely weren't shy about saying they were much better than last year's band and there's a good chance they'll want to request them to come back again next year. That's how much they all loved the performers. Their manager was particularly helpful in making sure everything stayed on track, which allowed me the opportunity to actually enjoy the event for once! Major thanks to her.

We all had a great time. I've told the Band many times that we loved them and thanked them. But please thank the Band again for me when you get a chance. And thanks to you for providing all the necessary information to allow me to choose them!""

"The Band [ASJ's 8-piece] was amazing at our reception! I only wish they could have played even longer! Our guests had a blast and never left the dance floor. It was an incredible night! Thanks for everything."

The SB Band was fantastic. I was very pleased. I will definitely recommend you to anyone I know looking for a band.

"NRG was great. Everyone loved them. Thanks, again."

"Everyone was very pleased with [Ascension] and said they were better than last year's band. As soon as the band got on stage to play the very first song, everyone jumped out of their seats and rushed to the dance floor. I was really surprised how quickly they warmed up to the music because it typically takes at least a song. I was very happy with the performance and so were all the guests. Thanks for helping to make it happen..."

"[The DLE Oktoberfest Duo] were great! Everyone had a great time. Thank you again for everything!""

"[The JE Swing Band] was FANTASTIC! Honestly, it was the main thing that all of the guests continued to talk about in the days after. Thank you so much for all of your help and I will certainly give out your name to anyone in California looking for event music."

"[Our site manager said] everything went really well and everyone had a great time. The music all three nights was excellent! Thank you very much for helping us put together a wonderful program. We are very pleased and look forward to working with you in the future. Thank you for everything!"

"Everything went fantastically. I didn't even have to think about it, which was the best. People kept telling me that they loved [ASJ 9-piece] all night long."

"The leader [of The David Levin Swing Band East] and his band were fabulous on Thursday evening! They were very entertaining and everyone thoroughly enjoyed them."

"Absolutely loved it! We received nothing but rave reviews about The SD Band and how the music was interlaced so precisely and professionally. The band complemented the dinner portion very well and their energy after the dinner was simply contagious! With a crowd as diverse in age and style as ours, it has been extremely difficult in past years to cater to everyone and we invariably lose half the crowd as soon as the desserts have been served. However, this year, I couldn't find room on the dance floor and could hardly see the band from the back of the room because everyone so densely crowded the stage area. I was explaining to the leader before the show how all the Management Club members tend to be a bit hesitant when it comes to dancing not because they don't desire to, but because of professional obligations. But the band worked its magic and tore those barriers and reservations right down. The leader mentioned to me that his job was to make us look good and boy did he and his band ever!

Lastly, thank you so much for working with us and making such a great recommendation. We will be in touch in the future."

The Band [the CB Band] did VERY WELL at our reception. In fact, everyone kept saying how awesome the Band was. They were great in their music style, but also in keeping the crowd going. Once we had finished our first dance and my father daughter dance, everyone was on the dance floor at 7:30 pm! That's the first time I've seen a dance floor that packed so early!

I also want to say that the band leader, Lorn, was fantastic. He was very communicative with me via email when I needed to have questions answered. He also did work with me with our "please play" lists and "no not play" lists for the night. Overall, I can't complain about anything. They were really great.

Please feel free to ask me any other questions for your other clients. I REALLY ENJOYED WORKING WITH YOU! I just remember fondly when we first talked via telephone way back in December. You were so informative and because of all your help, Matt and I had a perfect wedding. You never hesitated to let us know when and where the bands that we were interested were playing or having showcases. Thank you, David, you were very helpful and I appreciate that very much.

"[The SD Band] was phenomenal. Everyone had such a great time and were so bummed when it ended. They really helped make the event that much more fun."

They [The DLE O.C. Big Band] were FANTASTIC! We broke with tradition last night in having a 40s commercial swing big band. My email box was filled with compliments for the Band. Parents and students alike raved. My own daughter wished the big band part of the evening lasted longer. Thanks for steering me to them and for following up. Our event was a HUGE success!

"They [The DLE Polynesian-Hawaiian Dance Troupe] were fabulous! Very talented, professional and flexible. I'd hire them again anytime. Thanks!"

"From what I hear [The DLE Modern Classical Concert Guitarist] was excellent! I, being the bride, did not really hear him (I was not there before the ceremony and during the ceremony I could here nothing, only the sound of my beating heart getting ready to jump out of my chest). But I received many compliments about him and I look forward to seeing my video with his performances on it. Also, he was excellent with the correspondence leading up to the event, very responsive. I would recommend him to anyone! Thanks for all your help."

"The band was awesome!!! I know the crowd really loved Ascension, and there were some influential people in the audience. The band is VERY professional and easy to work with. No prima donnas...they also network very well with the audience. I would HIGHLY recommend them to anyone. Please feel free to use my name as a reference."

"They [the CB Band] were fabulous! Everyone loved them! Thanks for all your help."

"Thank you so much for the additional information and all the help you've provided me. I can't tell you how much I appreciate your professionalism and timely responses. If I or my friends am ever needing to book a band for a corporate party or any similar event, I will definitely be in contact and/or refer you to others."

"The JB Trio were great last night...It was the perfect music for our event.. Thank you so much. I will definitely keep you in mind for future events."

"Thank you again and congratulations on a great website; it is so refreshing and exciting to find a great variety of talent--all in one place!!!!"

"They [The David Levin Quartet] were GREAT!!! Everyone enjoyed the music...especially the B-day Boy! I will definitely think of you again when the need arises."

"NRG was an awesome, hard working band and everyone loved them. They are a wonderful, talented group and very pleasant to work with. Thanks for all of your help."

"The client was very pleased and commented that they would love to have them back.
 
Thanks for your help. The DLE Steel Drum Band was delightful and although I got to only hear a little bit of their music, I could tell they were very talented. Also, they were very friendly, professional, etc. I'm glad everyone was pleased."

"The HL Band was awesome!!!!! Just perfect in everyway...a hit!"

"If I ever have need for a high quality band, you will be my first contact. Your immediate response, professionalism and honesty are traits severely lacking in a lot of businesses these days. I have my own business and we strive for those traits, yet it seems not very many people care about that anymore, and are, somehow, still in business. Excuse the philosophical rant, but when I find someone who takes their customers seriously, I just have to let them know! Thanks again!"

I can say nothing other than both the string quartet and The SE Band were fantastic. Both groups answered our every wish and the guests just loved them. All in all an A+. Even the Ritz staff was pretty psyched to get the Band in there, saying it was the most fun and high-class act they'd seen in a while. Again, many thanks.

"The CF Band was wonderful and I believe everyone enjoyed them. We certainly had a lot of people on the dance floor which is what we like to see. Thanks again for everything!"

"They (The JB Trio) were perfect. It was just the right act for the gig. Thanks!"

"We just wanted to thank you for helping us find a string quartet for our wedding. The Avanti String Ensemble played beautifully! We were very pleased. I would definitely use them again and recommend them to anyone."

"Just wanted to thank you once again for recommending The LTD Band for our wedding. Their music and presence were perfect--romantic, beautiful melodies mixed with totally danceable salsa grooves. Everyone loved them and said, 'Where did you find this band??' Eddy was such a pleasure to work with--talented, professional and warm."

"The band was great. Everybody loved them!"

"I think Damien did an amazing job and I will definitely hire you and his band in the future. Even though he had fewer instruments (than were heard on his CD), the music, the sound was great. His team was very charming, funny and most important punctual. Please let him know that. I think you and Damien did a great job. And I look forward to working with you again.

Yes, it was a short notice. But you were able to put it together, which pleased my client and myself.

Thank you, David, for making this event a success. You were part of the success, too."

"The Zippers were great. Absolutely the best band we have ever had at one of these events! Thank you for your guidance in selecting them."

"The DLE Celebrity Impersonator was great! I can't express how absolutely fabulous he was. Our people were so thrilled with his performance. I heard nothing but good things about him as feedback. Thank you for all your help. It was a pleasure working with you."

"Everything went extremely well. We loved Rex and the entire band. The music was perfect and everyone enjoyed all the dancing. Please convey our thanks to Rex for an outstanding job. All his musicians and his singer were wonderful and very much appreciated. Nada's group did a fine job with the klezmer music and the chair dance, and though we didn't need much dj music, the music that Jim played was great and had everyone on the dance floor. Asha did a nice job with the Israeli dance instruction. Many people were following his directions and joining in with the dancing. It all worked out very well. We have had lots of compliments on the entire affair. Thanks for all your help."

"The LTD Band was fabulous. They did an excellent job. 'Eddie' is a doll! A true professional and I would love to work with them again. They created the Cuban atmosphere I was hoping for, and they did it with class and style! Thanks again for all of your help finding the perfect group for the fundraiser. The night was more special because of the great band that played!"

"We just wanted to thank you very much for all of your assistance in securing The Desotos for our wedding reception on October 12. You have been absolutely wonderful to work with from day one, and we highly recommend your services. You have been straightforward, honest and a pleasure to work with. The Desotos were absolutely awesome! We received so many compliments on the band--they had everyone up and dancing the entire night."

"We would like to thank you for truly making our wedding day absolutely perfect! Your professionalism in managing every detail of the entertainment impressed even my wife (who considered you our 'extended wedding planner'). Your recommendation of The Desotos was right on the money--even to this day, all of our guests said it was 'the best wedding' they have ever attended--Vietnamese or American! Thank you for catching all the minor details we may have missed. Everyone had a blast dancing, too!"

"The DLE Mariachi was a big hit at the Stag Cruise. We loved your costumes, punctuality, flexibility and musicality! What more can I say?   We'll go with The DLE Mariachi the very next time we need truly professional
Mariachi entertainment".

"Thank you for sticking with our daughter and son-in-law's dream of a 'non-wedding' band.   The LTD Band was perfect! Everyone loved them".

"Thank you so much for the excellent entertainment--The David Levin Trio--you provided for Hilco Trading's promotional dinner at the Postrio Restaurant in San Francisco on October 24! The light jazz musical talent you provided made the evening a success! I will definitely keep your information on file and hope to engage your services again in the future".

"We very much appreciated the services you provided for our holiday party last December 9th at the Vivica Grill in downtown Mountain View. The DA Trio provided a very professional and enjoyable modern jazz music variety for our event. This group demonstrated a high level of originality, artistry, and musical skill. In other words, "They were awesome!"

"We also appreciated the consultation and coordination services you provided during our planning phase. We hope to continue this business relationship with you right where we left off last year."

"I just want to thank you for your help in finding the perfect band for my wedding. Betty and I together have over 25 years of putting on events, and I must say that we could not have been happier with your services. You are a pleasure to work with, and The Desotos got everyone (even the timid ones) dancing. Some of our staff (some of whom are musicians themselves) commented on how good The Desotos were. We will, without question, call you again for more events. Thank you for helping make my wedding so special."

"I will keep you...as our entertainment company of choice."

"Thank you for helping me give one of the most memorable and wonderful events during the last few years. Our friends exclaimed, 'That was one of the best parties I've been to--and the Band was the BEST!' That 'thank you' goes to you, David, for providing the absolute best big band music from a small band with the top-notch musicians. Thank you and their leader also for the photos you took of us and the Band and for the Band's signed photo for my mother. The next time I plan an event, I'll certainly call on you again."

"The Ernie Small Big Band was excellent. Mr. Small's big band arrangements, his vocalist and musicians were perfect for the event. As a committee, we would recommend Mr. Small's band."

"Thank you so much for the wonderful afternoon of piano. People loved it. My husband...thought you were the most amazing pianist he'd ever heard."

"Everyone I've talked with enjoyed your music and singer very much. I personally enjoyed it and appreciated the fact that the volume was perfect."

"Thanks so much for your piano entertainment for the holiday party in December. It was fabulous, and the guests enjoyed it very much.

"Thank you for sharing your exceptional talents with us. The music brought back many memories. Thank you again for a most enjoyable evening at Channing House."

"Just a line to thank you for your cabaret jazz CD. Regina has a beautiful, crystal clear voice. She sounds better than some of the jazz singers I listen to on the radio here in the UK."

"Regina has a lot of personality in her singing. Irene also enjoyed her vocalizing on your cabaret CD. She has a wonderful voice! We're looking forward to hearing more--soon!"

"Thank you for adding a touch of class to our awards luncheon with your beautiful music. Everyone so enjoyed having you with us. Thank you again for helping to make our event so special."

"David has provided background music for our parties for the past twelve years. His selection of songs makes him a versatile pianist in handling a wide range of requests. Before our recent party, we had never used a vocalist, only a pianist. Regina's voice is beautiful! She "captured" our living room crowd but not ahe expense of turning our reception into a 'show'. Their performance together as a cabaret duo provided more positive guest feedback than we have received from any other party we have given."

"David has performed for us many times at large parties in our home and has done a superb job. He is entertaining; he is also reflective of the mood of the party and his selection of music is always correct."

"Regina has an angelic voice!"

"Last Friday, the ten of us at our table were 'mesmerized' by David Levin's piano playing. We enjoyed his selection so much that when I asked anyone if they wanted to make a request, the reply was, "His own choice is better than any I could suggest!"

"Thank you for your contribution to Burlingame Country Club's pleasant Saturday evening dining. Not only was your music perfect, but your manner with the Members was warm and charming. You were like "family". The feedback from fellow members and Board members was 100% positive (Your talent speaks for itself)."

"Yeah, David. I heard that pianist (at The St. Regis in New York). You are much better!"

"Where do I begin with the immense gratitude I would like to share for all your help and time during my wedding planning? I am so very grateful for all of your hard work and dedication to making my wedding fun and memorable--making that dream come true! I could never have asked for or wanted better customer service from a bandleader or entertainment agent.

The David Levin Swing Band was incredibly rich in sound, precise in style and everything we ever wanted (and THEN some) during our wedding reception. Regina Otto was a big hit, too. Everyone enjoyed her singing the classic big band songs we danced to. It was an outstanding musical performance, creating the most perfect scene with songs like "Moonglow", "Autumn Leaves" and "Stardust". I am so grateful for your playing "Satin Doll" for my grandmother--it was her and her husband's song. My father appreciated your musical artistry and talent at the piano.

Please let all of your band members know just how much I appreciate their talents, their music and enthusiasm. It was such a great group of artists. I only wish I could have recorded it so I could hear it over and over again! There are a few, distinct memories I have of my reception and one is passing between the tables while greeting our guests and thinking, "Ah, I know that song! I grew up hearing it and it brings back such good memories". There are so many songs the Band played that I love--your music was truly a gift to me.

Thank you for providing The David Levin Swing Band with Regina Otto for my wedding reception. It was truly an honor and a blessing to have you there."

"Your music added immensely to our party. Many thanks."

"Your music lent a sophisticated note to the musical spectrum at The Black & White Ball. I hope we get to work together again soon. Please send my thanks and the Symphony's thanks on to the entire band."

"Your band was appreciated at the Father-Daughter Night here as it had been at last year's event. I was pleased with the variety and style of the songs played. They were tasteful and perfectly appointed."

"Thank you for putting us in your calendar to perform in The Wattis Room at Davies Hall during The Black and White Ball. Your duo will truly be an addition to the evenings festivities."
