We loved The Bill Foley Band!! They were so polite and professional to work with, and did an amazing job perfoming at our wedding. They were also very knowledgeable about how to make things run smoothly and offered great advice. I even had people ask who they were so they could possibly use them someday. Thank you, thank you!!

Bill Foley took of everything. He was there to make the event extra special for us. He treated us like a friend. He was the perfect wedding vendor. There was no fuss. He did exactly what we wanted him to do, and he has a great feel for the audience exhibited in his performance.

We couldn't be happier that we found Bill Foley. He was thoroughly professional and a pleasure to work with. The band is very talented, and all of the music at our wedding was exceptional. Bill got our guests dancing and kept them dancing the whole night. Our guests specifically commented to me that they loved the band and the style and variety of music they played, and wanted to know how we found them. We would definitely recommend Bill Foley to anyone. Thanks so much for everything! You made our wedding truly special! David and Laura Kaufman

Bill was at the event building and set up before I even got there. He was very friendly and allowed the feel of the party set the tone for which music he chose. Bill was just very nice.

Bill Foley was awesome! I threw a Farewell party for my husbands deployment. We had a wide age span in the attendance but Bill preformed songs that everyone knew. He was on time and even began a little earlier than asked so that was a treat! When not singing he played songs and also took requests. I would highly recommend Mr. Foley.

Bill performed solo at our small outdoors wedding at my parents' house in October. Having the right music was very important to us...we were not planning a typical large wedding, so the music had to set the right mood. Before the big day Bill assured me of his experience with weddings, and I trusted that everything would go smoothly. My husband and I planned the wedding ourselves, so we truly appreciated the peace of mind Bill brought us. The music he chose during the reception was perfect for our guests, and many of them remarked how talented he is! My only complaint is that it was over so quickly! I would certainly recommend Bill for any special occasion!

The band performed in the art museum, not well known for its acoustics. Despite this, they sounded amazing. The last four weddings I have been to this year have had minimal dancing by the guests. This was not the case with the Bill Foley Band. Young and Old, everybody seemed to get up to get down. Also, the cd of our songs for the intro, mother/son, father/daughter dances wouldn;t read, and believe it or not, Bill knew the songs. All was saved. Having worked amongst musicians my whole life, this is the best band in the region for a top notch, sophisticated wedding or event. I am very grateful.

As always, Bill delivers a top notch performance! His extra care with timing always makes all the difference and leads to a successfull event. His musical contribution really added to Opening Day of Racing at Beulah Park Thoroughbred Racetrack. Thanks Bill (and crew :) )!!!

Bill Foley and his band far exceeded our expectations, and our expectations were quite high to begin with, based on all of the other positive reviews. With only a few exceptions, we let the band decide on what music to play and we couldn't have been happier with that decision. Both the young and old at our wedding enjoyed listening to and dancing with the music.

Bill was so helpful in every step of the wedding planning process. He was available to talk whenever I had any questions or new ideas. On the actual wedding day, he was very professional and made sure the entire evening flowed smoothly. In fact, when my husband and I arrived at the reception, we were greeted by the wedding coordinator who excitedly exclaimed "Do you know who you booked!?!?" and proceeded to quote Bill Foley's popularity on gigmasters and former shows he has played. Everyone liked the music, it was a good mix of songs for all generations. Bill handled my sensitive family situations with ease so that no one was uncomfortable.

We could not have selected a more perfect band for our wedding reception. So many of our guests kept asking us about the band and wondered where we found them. Beyond their talent, they were extremely accommodating and gave us wonderful suggestions on music and timing of those special wedding reception monents. We were able to truly enjoy our reception and our time with our family and friends and just let them m.c. the evening. It was so nice to not have to worry or keep watch of time for toasts, first dances etc. They made it possible for us to just enjoy our day and they handled everything! Thank you Bill Foley Band!!!! I would recommend you all in a heartbeat!

We had Bill Foley's 3 piece band play at our outdoor casual pool party wedding reception and they were wonderful! They were more than accommodating to us on the wedding day and throughout the planning process. In addition, they are extremely professional. The songs they sang/played were great, so many people mentioned that it was hard to tell the difference from the original artists. If our guests weren't up dancing they were were singing along and tapping their feet. I'm not very eloquent with my words, but this band added "the icing on the cake" making our wedding day absolutely fantastic!

Bill was hired for my mom/dad's 50th Wedding Anniversary Party @ the Hilton with about 150 guests, and he was just the right match for our party. He was very receptive to the crowd and played music accordingly. His professionalism was exemplary! Bill set-up early and was ready for the guests as they proceeded into the ballroom area. Great guitarist, with a great voice and tremendous work ethic to go along with it. Thouroughly satisfied!~ from: Amy in Ohio Thanks a lot to Gigmasters too!!

Bill was very personable and professional. The event was for a suprise birthday party here at our office and the recipiant was very pleased and impressed with Bill's talent and experience. He made it fun and put the spotlight on our Birthday CEO and even incoporated our business in one of his songs as well as our CEO. I would recommend Bill to anyone and if the need comes up, I would use him again! Thank you GigMasters for hooking us up with Bill Foley!!! Warmly, Sandy

The Bill Foley Band played at our wedding, and we could not have been more pleased with their performance. As an emcee, Bill provided clear structure for the evening in a very pleasant, unobtrusive way. The band's greatest strength was their ability to match the song choices and performance style to our audience; they seemed to have an intuitive sense of the personality of our guests and the event as a whole.

Bill arrived early to set up and was professional dealing with us and our guests. He is truly talented with his voice, guitar playing, and overall ability to interact with a crowd. He made our party the "event" of the year in our circle of friends. I would rate him a 5+ if I could.

Bill was outstanding, extremely accommondating and the music was perfect. He was a big hit with the guests since he has a great reputation in the area. Bill was very prompt replying to our initial request and following up each time as we continued to do final coordination. I wouldn't look anywhere else in the future, I would go right back to Bill for all my future events. A big thanks to both Gigmasters and Bill.

From the first contact, we had a great experience with Bill Foley and the Bill Foley Band. He was prompt, professional, and upfront with everything. Further, he provided a questionnaire covering many of the little details I didn't think about, and offered many suggestions to make the reception fun for everyone. At the reception, I didn't have any worries other than having fun, since Bill handled all the MC activities for the evening and kept things flowing. He checked in with the bride and me multiple times during the evening to make sure we and the guests were happy with everything. All the guests raved about how good the band was and how much fun everyone was having. We couldn't have been happier with our choice to use Bill Foley and the Bill Foley Band and would recommend that others use them as well. Clint

Bill was exteremly accomodating and flexible. Beulah Park is a Thoroughbred race track, which since music can distract/spook horses, this was a tentative venture. Bill was able to integrate beautifully when the horses were not on the track, and had a high level of attention to detail to not play when they were. That's no easy task. It worked out great! Our patrons loved it, and Bill really added to the ambiance of a beautiful autumn afternoon. He arrived early, stayed late and enjoyed the day with us, as much as we enjoyed having him. Bill was exactly what I needed, and he delivered on all fronts. I look forward to working with him many times in the future and will recommend him for our wedding clients who marry in our paddocks during the summer.

The Bill Foley Band is every bit as good as advertised on this site. Bill works with you down to the last detail to ensure a worry-free event. The mix of music was great we've gotten many compliments on the band selection since then. Thanks Bill and guys, you rock.

If you were to close your eyes during the performance, you could easily believe it was John Denver, Jim Croce, James Taylor or any one of the original performers themselves. As a bonus his warm and uplifting personality won over the crowd before he even sang his first song. We will not be surprised to see this mans name in Marque lights someday soon. We hope to have the pleasure to sponsor Bill Foley again soon. Jim and Sandy Young, Seneca Rocks Natural Living Retreat...
