Janice & Tony – Tribeca Rooftop – NYC – June 2012

Wedding Wire 5 star review:

I would highly recommend Brendan and the rest of the BOK team to anybody looking for a professional and accommodating DJ/band. We used BOK musicians for the ceremony, cocktail hour and the reception of our wedding.

From the very beginning, Brendan was so easy to work with. He was quick to respond to all our questions (we had A LOT of questions). He made sure everyone was on the same page in terms of what was going to happen the day of. He was willing and eager to try and meet all of our musical demands. I wanted a specific hymn to be played while I walked out and another specific instrumental to be played during the recessional and he worked with us to find the right musician who could play those songs.

Before the wedding, we were kind of nervous about what songs were going to be played during the reception because although we drafted a song list, it was nowhere near enough to last the night. However, once we met Brendan on the day of, we knew we were in good hands. From our previous conversations, he understand exactly what types of music we did and did not want. The wedding turned out beautifully and BOK Music had a large part to do with that.

Groom’s comments:

Hey Brendan,

Now that we’ve had a couple days to decompress from all of it, I wanted to take this chance to say a quick thank you to you and your team. THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! A more formal “Thank You” will be coming shortly but I had to get this email out first.

To be honest, out of all the different moving parts on Sunday, the music was the one area that I felt the least prepared for. However, all my worries went away the moment you introduced yourself to us. I felt like I was in good hands and I’m glad I was right.

Everything from the ceremony to the reception just went so smoothly (and quickly) and you guys had a large part to do with that. I know there was one little glitch during the ceremony when the Edith Piaf song started playing during when our dog walked out but I don’t think anybody noticed and Janice looked too beautiful anyway for anybody to care.

I know Janice and I weren’t too helpful with the song list but it turned out we didn’t need to be. Everybody was dancing!

I really can’t say enough about how smoothly the night went by. At this point, I’m just blabbering but really, thank you for being so easy to work with and so accommodating.

Please let us know where we can write reviews for you. We would love to help spread the word of BOK anyway we can. Thank you again Brendan!

Pam & Doug – CV Rich Mansion – White Plains – October 2011

Pam & Doug and their guests were treated to a Baroque violin, flute and harpsichord wedding ceremony and an amazing October day. Later, in the grand ballroom, everyone got the feeling.

Thank you for a wonderful night of music and entertainment! My guests loved you and so did we. The musicians added such a classy touch to cocktail hour. And the music throughout the reception was just perfect. Thank you for being so flexible with our music selections, it made it so personal. 
It was a great day! Thank you for all you and your crew did!
I will definitely keep you in mind for future events and I will be happy to recommend you to family and friends.
Fondly,
Pamela : )

Joleen & Julia’s wedding at Bear Mountain on 7/29/2011

Hi Brendan,
You did an absolutely wonderful job! We would definitely recommend you to anyone else having a wedding in New York. I appreciate how you played all of the songs on the request lists that I sent you and you refrained from playing our “no-play list.” You also played everyone’s requests and kept the dance floor moving. My parents especially loved the music and were either dancing or on the carousel the entire night.
You played an integral role in making our wedding such a success and we can’t thank you enough. Our guests have been saying this is the best wedding they’ve ever been to.
Thank you so much for everything you’ve done before and during the wedding!
Joleen & Julie

Jen and David’s wedding at Rowsley Mansion in Scarsdale, NY 4/9/2011

Hi Brendan,
We want to let you know that we were very happy with your work and the entire day went about as well as we could have imagined – the ceremony, the food, the dancing and the music.  I think everyone had a great time and enjoyed themselves as much as we did.  We also liked how the music wasn’t overpowering so people could still carry on conversations during the reception.  It wasn’t something we discussed beforehand but we were definitely happy with the results.

Thanks again, Brendan…
