THANK YOU!!!. . . Everyone L-O-V-E-D you! You were all so great, you did such a wonderful job and I am so grateful for how willing you were to work with our requests. Your sound is fantastic and I thought the first dance went so well. You were AMAZING with the cousins toast and I am so grateful.
If you ever need a VERY happy bride to write you a recommendation, feel free to write.

You guys did an absolutely fantastic job! The whole community is raving about you. You were a big hit and everyone loved it.

On behalf of (our) Family, our 135 guests, and The Ausable Club I want to attempt to express our gratitude and admiration for your contribution to (our daughter's) wedding. One guest put it perfectly: your music made it feel like the Club was in it's heyday.
We, and many of our guests, have been fortunate to attend many lovely, well planned and extravagant events yet consensus was that the music you brought to the Ausable Club was, bar none, the finest. You brought infectious joy to all, you set a tone that lasted throughout the evening from the first dance (dances) to our Jamaican toasting song, a nod to the bride's sister, to a bit of Van Morrison. Ages 12 to 86 shared the packed floor throughout the night!
I trust you could tell how much you were being enjoyed in real time, but our thanks again.
Beth (Keene Valley, NY)

Our sincere thanks and appreciation to you and the entire Brass-O-Mania team for an OUTSTANDING performance last Sunday. Your music warmed our hearts and raised our spirits. You rocked the Battery and we hope to team up again in the near future.
