• Jerry Ford did an exceptional performance for my 1940's themed Birthday Party. His live orchestra made the event a real throwback to the original 40's days. The music was perfect, the singing was exceptional and his overall demeanor and professionalism couldn't have been better. I feel like his music made all the difference in the world and my party will be talked about for months! I will definitely recommend him to anyone. If the situation arises for a similar party, I will use him again. My guests were amazed that I had a live orchestra and he fulfilled all my expectations. Thanks for a great job, Jerry.

• The evening was a fundraiser for the USO. Jerry Ford Orchestra was perfect. They performed a wide range of music from the 40's and 50's. Jerry was very accommodating and helpful when we planned the evening, which, at Jerry's suggestion included the playing of each military branch's themes during the introduction of our veterans. Twin Oaks would recommend Jerry Ford Orchestra and will probably schedule them again for next year’s fundraiser. As for as professionalism, the band traveled 2 hours knowing that the performance might be canneled due to weather. -- Ray S, Twin Oaks, MO, 10/4/2008
