Dear Gary:

Now that my post-wedding life is beginning to return to normal (or as normal as things can be these days), I just wanted to formally thank you and the band for making our wedding at the Woolverton Inn such a great party! We are still getting e-mails and calls from guests raving that our wedding was the "best wedding ever" and wondering were we found such a "hot" band.

I knew we were in for a great night when our guests (myself included) chose to dance during the dinner music rather than eat. One of the band members remarked that this was the first time anyone ever danced to Miles Davis! And that was just the beginning. There were so many people on the dance floor, all night long, that some people had to dance outside of the tent, just so they could have room. Even people who claim they "never dance" could not help themselves - PFA's music and energy was infectious!

All of the special songs we requested were played brilliantly and attest to the versatility, skill, and range of the band. Not only could you hit the high notes in "Still in Love With You"; and the low notes in "You're My Everything" but you managed to play a truly inspired, funkified "Ha Va Negila."

The jazz quartet that played during the pre-ceremony cocktail hour was the perfect accompaniment. And thank you for recommending the brass quartet for the ceremony music. They were wonderful! Their arrangement of "Gymnopeadies" was as beautiful, soft, and tranquil as Eric Satie's original piano arrangement.

Steve and I are already planning our first anniversary party, which is really an excuse to get your band and our friends together again. This time, however, we are looking for a venue that is open later than 10:00 p.m. so that we can groove into the night. Also, a good friend just informed me that she is now your groupie, so I expect I will be seeing you again very soon.

Thank you again for the enthusiasm, responsiveness and professionalism you showed while helping us plan and while playing at our wedding. You truly helped me throw the party of my dreams!

Sincerely,
Shari Gallin Washburn


p.s. Due to the chaos at the end of the evening, I realized I never tipped the band, who so deserved it! Please accept the enclosed check as a late gratuity for a stellar performance.
