Thank you for playing at our wedding on September 23rd. You guys absolutely rocked and all our guests have been telling us how incredibly fun you were. Thank you for learning Crazy Love for our first dance!! It meant so much to us to have you all put so much time into learning it and playing it well. I wish we did not have to end at 10pm b/c we were all having so much fun but we look forward to having you all at another event in the future. Please tell all the band members how much fun we had and that we could not have been happier with the music selections and party vibe you all had that night.
Take care,
Barbara and Brad Sloan

Gig, just wanted to take a moment to express my appreciation for your efforts in regards to our SF Moma Party.
You were just great to work with, made the whole process a breeze and your recommendation for the band turned out to be "spot on" !
I hope that we have the chance to work together again. If your company or Jelly Roll ever wants a referral, I would be happy to make the call !
Thank you again,

Hi Steve-
Sorry it has taken me a while to get back. I was enjoying my honeymoon and then slowly adjusting to coming back to work.
My wedding was beautiful and I owe a lot of it to you. The lighting was incredible and the band kept my family on their feet the whole time. I have to say that everything turned out even better than I had imagined.
Ron was great to work with. He was very professional and the lighting units that he used didn't look tacky or stand out. He put in some orange lights the night before the wedding that ended up being too bright, and he came out early the next morning and changed them into these really subtle blue lights that looked gorgeous. The yard looked fantastic against his lighting.
As you know, I have a rather large and party-loving family. They love to be entertained and to dance. Big City Revue had them dancing the entire night. They let my uncle get on the stage and sing a bit and pulled my mom up there as well. Everyone had an absolute blast and we were all bummed when 11:30 rolled around and they had to stop. I would recommend them any day of the week and I would definitely like to see them play again sometime. Phil was so easy to work with and they did a great job emceeing the wedding and announcing the events of the night. My family cannot stop talking about that party and how fun the band was.
I want to thank you also for all of your expertise and professionalism. Planning a wedding is very hard work and it is a godsend to have people like you to work with. I knew I was in great hands right from the start. My mom and I were very pleased with the end result and cannot thank you enough.
Hopefully down the road I can plan another fun event where we can have a band. It really made my wedding so much fun and unique, especially when in a backyard setting.
Thanks again, Steve, for all of your help. You really made planning a wedding so much easier for me.
All the best,
Kate

Steve,
We just had to let you know that Big City Revue was fabulous at our daughter's wedding this past Saturday night! They did exactly as we asked for time-line and dress and breaks. The crowd was dancing the whole night and a wonderful time was had by all! Thanks for your input and help in making some of our final decisions... the evening flowed beautifully! You seemed to know exactly what we were trying to achieve... and it happened!
Thanks for everything...

Brian,
I'm sorry I wasn't able to see any of the other bands like Martini in time. However, I do want to sincerely thank you for all the personalized effort you exerted in trying to get me a cover band in the last few weeks. Thanks for your efforts and patience in adapting to my changing requests as I listened to many bands trying to figure out what I wanted. And I couldn't help but notice and appreciate that you always returned my calls promptly, and that you answered my questions and filled my requests within a day. It felt like you were working for me, which was something totally unexpected when I first cold called AEC.
I will definitely remember you guys and happily recommend you to others. Thanks again for the service.
Sincerely,
Eric Hansotte

Gig - I am home and now frantically figuring out what to pack for our honeymoon in Cabo. Which is hard because my head is still in the clouds from last night. It was so magical for me and Norayr ( he was blown away). Everyone said it was the most beautiful, romantic, fun party! A truly joyous event. One of the best parts of the whole reception was the band! Masterpiece was fabulous. They were so great! I got compliments on the band all night! My husband (sort of weird to think I am actually married now!) was so impressed and he was out on the dance floor all night. This was a true testament to how great the band was because he has only danced with me once before and it was only after twisting his arm!
So please thank all of them! They put on a night for us that was truly spectacular and so I thank you all from the bottom of my heart!
Love and thanks,
Mrs. Elizabeth Noyes Kalpkajian

Dear Gig,
On behalf of the Californias Association of Flower Growers & Shippers, I would like to thank you for your contribution to Fun N Sun Weekend 2006. Associated Entertainment did an outstanding job of putting together two fantastic parties. The games at the Sports Zone were a big hit and Roger Craigs presence also added a special element to that evening. The Big City Revue and the decorations and lighting on Saturday night made that night very memorable as well.
Thank you for your participation in Fun N Sun Weekend 2006. It was a pleasure working with you and your contribution helped to make the convention a very successful event.
Warm Regards,
Mike Franzoia

Hi Mary,
I just wanted to say that The Endless Summer Band was amazing and I am so grateful for the job they did at the reception. People are still talking about them.
I don't know if you were in contact with the band regarding the events of the night, but one of our friends collapsed and was rushed to the hospital during the reception. It really took the celebration into the opposite direction, yet we continued to have a great party nevertheless-because of the effort of the band. They eased people back into celebration while still maintaining the integrity of the whole situation. I must say that my husband and I had a difficult time because it was such an emotional rollercoaster- but the band was the reason we were still able to celebrate. They chose the right songs, got people back on the dance floor and it remained packed for the rest of the evening-as short as it was. I don't think anyone could have done a better job. I can't thank them enough, because of them, we still have great memories of that night. We, and I think everyone else, will recommend them to everyone we know.
Thank you,
Anna

We had the most fantastic wedding thanks to you and the Revue. Thanks again for helping to make our big day so special. I think the other couple who was checking out the band will hire them! :-)
Thanks again.

Thank you, Jazzaholics, so much for making our wedding memorable and fun! Our best, Aurelia & Dan Stout

This is the first moment I’ve had since the wedding to write to you. I wanted to say – working with you and your team was a pleasure and Wallstreet was PHENOMENAL!! They were just outstanding; in fact we are still getting calls from those who attended that said Wallstreet was the best live band they had heard in years!
I wanted to express how much we enjoyed their performance. The event was absolutely perfect!
Thank you so much for everything!

Hi Rae,
What a cute e-mail (I've never received one quite so elaborate! Yes, our party was great, and we loved the band. They were absolutely terrific. I felt like their tip wasn't enough -- hopefully they know how much we appreciated them. You were absolutely right, they gauged the crowd and played exactly the right thing at the right time. I haven't danced so much in I don't know how long. As soon as I know next year's date, I'll give you a call (and I should know soon).

Hey Gig
The face painter was AWESOME, she did a fabulous job on all the staff of characters for the haunted house. The balloonatic was great so was Fairy Blue.
The entire week of parties was a great success, thank you.

Super Soul Music, From the "God Father Of Soul".
I have been listening to James Brown, since I was a child. Born in The 50's, I Know my Soul Music.
My Twin Brother and I saw Mr. Brown, back in 1972, in Tokyo, Japan. Yes we were young children then, and man was it a "God Send", that our Father, Mr. McCharles Patton got tickets for our 13th Birthday in the eigth row seats, right smack in the middle.
Bootsy Collins, Fred Wesley, Maceo Parker, and the Funkiest Band ever seen, on Stage. I will never forget that Day or the experience!!
Right now I still have music from "James Brown", that I play on my Show; Alvin Stones - R&B Dance classics.
The Mood is Always right Sunday evenings, for Soul Music and Sharing Love with Loved Ones.
God Bless

Hi Gig
We had such an incredible event -- many MANY thanks to Jenn and to Full House. The band was phenomenal. Everyone commented. We all were "wowed". When our song was played, it sounded like Chet Baker was singing!!! The band worked in "Glory Days" for Brian and his New Jersey family & friends, and the dance floor was absolutely packed until the end (which came way too soon as far as we were all concerned). I would recommend Full House again and again. Shannon, please send our compliments to the band and Cheryl and express our most sincere thanks for making our day special, memorable, and so much fun.
We'll keep you posted on that 1 year anniversary party;-)
All the best,
Erica

Big City Revue!
I just like to tell you from me and my husband, Billy, for a great birthday party that we had at Fandangos on 7/8/05. You brought the house down with your great music and your wonderful singers. When my girl Chris sang Alicia Keys I about cried it was so nice. I hope you return to sacramento area soon so we could hear you play again. Again thank you for a great time.
