Brendan,
Thank you! I can't say enough great things about your company and the service I received for Chris and my wedding. The DJ and MC were absolutely amazing!!! They took everything that I sent you ahead of time and combined that with their expertise to create a fun, energetic, seamless party for us and our loved ones. It fit Chris and my style absolutely perfectly. I couldn't have designed a night better than the one we had. An amazing thank you to your staff who were relaxed, fun, attentive and always responded appropriately to the vibe of the party and our wishes as well. Not an easy job for sure, but they made it look that way! It feels so great to not have to micro-manage something and yet have it turn out so well down to the very last detail. We were only disappointed that our venue wouldn't let us party long into the night! Thank you so very much for giving us such an amazing experience. I am so happy that I trusted Linda (who referred me) and put my faith in a company I knew very little about. It couldn't have worked out better! I do sincerely hope your staff enjoyed themselves as well because they certainly seemed happy to throw us such a rockin' party!
Thank you again and please pass along my appreciation to your staff! I hope that I have the opportunity to work with you again or at least refer you to someone else in the NY area. I know for sure they would not be disappointed!

Thank you for making the party so fun Brendan… you managed the transition from cocktails to dancing brilliantly… and even managed to make Mister Travolta look good… the up-lighting really added great ambiance… and I think I only freaked out about one song sounding “too-wedding-y”… I was with my parents last night at dinner at the Field Club in Greenwich… Martina was asking us about the birthday party and I said there was a DJ who didn’t make my parents cringe (at least until they left the party)… she also said you were wonderful at their events… Not sure when the next party will be… K Gellert 6/6/2011
Brendan,
I can't thank you enough for the wonderful music. Everything went perfect, and thank you for "some enchanted evening" Rick loved it. The music was above and beyond our expectations.
Thank you again, Debra

Hi Brendan,
I am so sorry I haven't contacted you yet - you have actually been on my mind. Thank you so much for everything. You were absolutely fantastic. I can't tell you how many people I've spoken to at the wedding and afterwards that have commented on how great our DJ was! The piano during the cocktail hour was also wonderful and everyone really enjoyed that as well. I really appreciate you working with us so closely on our playlist - you guys really kept the party going!
All my best,
Beth
Dear Brendan,
Everyone enjoyed the music including me! Your selection was perfect. I hope you receive some leads from your generous donation of time and effort to Lyndhurst. I will certainly highly recommend BOK-Music.
Hope your trip to the west with your family is fun and interesting.
Best Wishes,
Christine

Hi Brendan-
How are you? You and your assistant did a fantastic job! Everyone was up dancing the whole night....I don't think the dance floor was ever empty. We have gotten a lot of positive feedback about the music.
I will definitely recommend you if I hear of someone who is having a party. Not sure when John and I are going to be having a party again but when we do you are the first call!
Thanks again!
Robin :)

Thank you Brendan! We had a great time working with you. Everybody loved the music and we heard lots of compliments about you from our guests. People were dancing who don’t usually dance (if you know what I mean…lol).Thanks again and have a happy holiday season!

Hi Brendan.
We were very pleased with the job Dave did at our reunion. He played all of the right songs and helped keep the mood light & festive. Dave was very organized, professional and friendly. I would definitely recommend him to friends.
Thank you for working with our budget, Brendan. Having a DJ really added to the quality of the event.
Enjoy the holiday season!

Thanks Brendan for all the hard work you put into our wedding. The planning which led to it, and your patience and help with the online tool made it easier for us. I was a bit stressed out about the whole thing, just like any other bride I imagine, but I enjoyed the whole event so much that I didn’t really worry about anything. I felt the music, food, drinks, deco, etc. which usually bring the biggest headaches, all came out wonderfully. I was sobbing so much during my first few dances…I guess all the stress I felt for a while hit me hard. J
I will definitively spread the word about your services to our friends and family in the area. Thanks again and I wish you the best for the coming year.
Best, Elodie
Dear Brendan,
Thank you Brendan! You guys were fantastic!!! Thank you very much! Everything was perfect. Will certainly recommend you. Also, if anyone ever asks for a reference send them my way.

Hi Brendan,
We had a fantastic night and the music was spot on. It was a great surprise to have the guitar at the cocktail hour and the reception music was just what we wanted. And yes, our friends do like to party, and im sure the vodka shots helped!
We are actually now in the UK - we just moved here to go to grad school for a year. The North Carolina address is Emily's dad's address, which is now our US based address so best to keep that one on file. We, unfortunately, had to give up our NYC apartment!
Thanks again,
Dear Brendan,
HI Brendan,
Yes she was a pleasure to work with and you as always was fabulous..you worked that piano!! Hahaha..Yes that is my address thank you so much, and hopefully we will have a busy final quarter of the year!! See you soon.

I am so sorry I never responded to this email.
You did a fantastic job. The music was superb, you got all of our songs in, just an overall Excellent job. Thank you for making our wedding day that much more special. Being able to choose our songs so that we can hear the music we wanted made all of the difference.
Sorry again for the late response.
Hope you enjoyed the rest of your summer.

You guys did a terrific job. The ceremony was seamless and the cocktail
hour and party music was fantastic. Thank you for your efforts and for
helping us put together a great wedding. Of course, it would be our
pleasure to recommend you to friends and family in the future and to be a
reference for you should you want potential customers to talk to someone who
has used your services.
A few days left on the honeymoon, but Kim and I wanted to touch base after
getting your email.

Thank you, Brendan!
We are about to leave for our honeymoon but I wanted to send a quick
note of thanks. Friday was amazing, the best day of our lives. Guests
have emailed me about how much fun they had dancing--the music was
absolutely perfect. Thank you for playing I Just Can't Get Enough! And
you were professional and attentive and made sure the evening unfolded
exactly as we had hoped. Thanks again, hopefully we can work together
soon!
Best wishes,

Brendan,
It all went very well. Your play list rocked in that FUV/NPR way! Plus, as you can tell, you had the right Greek music to get us all dancing. You mixed it all very well. I had a lot of my friends compliment your music. We will definitely call you the next time we need music. Thanks for adding to our special day. The whole event was fantastic and you were a big reason for that.
Best,
Jordan
05-24-10
Brendan – You are totally welcome. WFUV is the first preset on any car I drive and I can’t tell you the number of people/bands I’ve been introduced to and love as a result of the wide swath of folks they play (as well as the songs from well known artist that never get airplay other places on the dial). Trust me, while I don’t have anything upcoming I took your info from Jordan and will happily pass it along to anyone I know who might have an event upcoming.
Have a fab afternoon

Hey Brendan!
Just wanted to check in and tell you what a TERRIFIC job you guys did DJing our wedding last Friday.
Everyone had a blast, everything sounded great, and the projection looked top-notch.
So, thank you!
Is there any way you can send me the final list of what was actually played? I have a good handle on it, but would love to have a full list for posterity.
Let me know. Thanks!
Best,

You guys did a terrific job on very short notice and, with very little guidance, provided just the right music to enhance our event. We will certainly think of you when we plan our next event.
Thanks again.

Dear Brenden, It was a really lovely evening and we thought you did a super job. I really appreciated your music. It was all great fun. If we do any other events coming up for this wedding in the NY area I shall for sure ring you..... The wedding is in S Africa so they will be using folks from that neck of the woods...... Thank you again for your terrific music..... Alma

Thank you so much for the great music that you and your team offered us through out the evening. From the wonderful piano music during cocktails
01-23-10
Hi Brendan, Thank you for all of your efforts to make our wedding day fun and memorable! We think you did a great job, and our guests seemed to like the mix of piano and dance music. We even got a few comments about the fact that they were able to talk and actually hear each other at tables during the reception so everyone was able to enjoy themselves. Thanks again for everything! Best, Sarah 10-12-09 Brendan - I can not thank you and your son enough for the wonderful job that you did on the 26th! Everyone was raving about you!! If you would not mind I would like to send an email to the director at the Lounsbury house recommending you for future events there. Several of my guests had been to events at the lounsbury house before and loved how your equipment was low profile and left more room for dancing. Also working a "cocktail type reception" is something different especially for a wedding and you did a fantastic job reading the crowd and making the entire night work.... not everyone could do that. I think that you should be added to their roster of vendors that they suggest to people.... Let me know if you are ok with me raving about you!! Thanks again - Kate and James 10-12-09 Brendan, . Just wanted to thank David...He was wonderful...hope he had a good time... Can't wait until the next time we have a cause for a DJ... Thank you for all your patience and guidance... Best of Luck, Tricia 10-11-09 Brendan, . Just wanted to thank David...He was wonderful...hope he had a good time... Can't wait until the next time we have a cause for a DJ... Thank you for all your patience and guidance... Best of Luck, Tricia 10-11-09 Dear Brendan, We missed the logistics of the wedding, we were so busy greeting guests. But I did listen to your piano music and loved your selection of Brazilian-style music which I heard. It was an elegant touch. The fact you are a professional musician led us to choose you in the first place. The wedding style was just what we hoped for. Low key, elegant, and fun. You were invisible but kept the events evolving in an organized, unobtrusive manner. We thought the music was terrific. Obviously your rating system works. And what a group of guests! From the beginning everyone flooded the dance floor and just made the party 'go'. What luck!!! 10-08-11 |
We truly loved the way you played the music and got our reception rocking. What we truly loved most is the way you kept building on the previous song- by that we mean how you kept playing a better song then the last one and kept people staying on the dance floor all night long. We were amazed with the ease that you transitioned from one song to another without any stops in dancing in. Introducing all of us at the beginning of the night and the ease in which you were able to pronounce the difficult names was great. What made us feel at ease was the way you reached out to us before the wedding to make sure you had everything. You and your staff helped make our wedding reception the best wedding we have ever been to. Another thing that made you stand out compared to other weddings was the way you played the piano while our cake was being cut and how you would alter the music during the courses to allow people to talk to one another.
Hi Brendan,
We were so pleased w/ your service at our wedding. We will definitely recommend you. I have a friend getting married this winter who I already spoke to her about you.
We've received some great comments from our guests too.
"the music was great"
"i liked how the dj blended into the background"
"the dj took our requests & played them immediately"
Thank you so much for asking about epileptic guests as this is a serious concern for our family and we would have never thought about that detail. We most appreciated that you really nailed the feel & styles of music/intensity that we were going for. we felt like we left the details to your discretion and you achieved just what we were looking for w/o us being overly involved in the planning.
Is there any chance you could make us a playlist from the evening? It would be amazing to have that as a momento.
thank you again,
S.& M. Gallagher
Hi Brendan -
I just wanted to send you a quick note to say how much we loved all of the music!! We had such an amazing night and you were such a huge part of that. You were so on top of everything and I never had to worry about anything all night long - the dance floor was full and we loved every second of it.
I wish I could've heard the jazz set during cocktail hour but I know everyone loved that and the ceremony music too - it'll be great to hear that in the ceremony videos that some of our friends have.
You were so accessible during this whole process and made everything easy on me so for that - thank you very much.
There is no doubt that if when we need a Dj/musician in the future, you will be the first person I call and will happily recomend you to anyone to use.
please send our thanks to your assistant and flutiest/sax player.
Thanks for an awesome night of music!!!!

In short, Dave made the party happen. I got compliments about him all night and after the wedding, and I enjoyed every minute of his work. He really knew how to read the room, and he came up with the playlist entirely on his own, with very little guidance from us! He also seemed to genuinely enjoy working the party- sometimes DJs look miserable -and afterwards he told me it was one of the best weddings he's done- and that wasn't just tooting his own horn! I enjoyed his guitar playing during dinner, and I was very happy to support a fellow musician who obviously takes care and pride in his work.
Thanks so much!
A. Keil
The party was terrific, and you guys were great! Lena and her friends had a wonderful time, as did Eric and I and our friends. We loved the mix of live and DJ'd music, and there was something to please everyone. It was a nice touch when the electricity went out at the end (I know, you didn't arrange that!) and the music went on and we danced in the dark.
I would highly recommend you to friends and family.
And we do have a 10-year old who will have a bat mitzvah someday!

Barney and I want to say THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU! The music was everything we wanted at our wedding. It was one big rockin' dance party and we couldn't have asked for more. Thanks for making it happen and keeping it booty shaking! I don't think we got a chance to see you afterwards and then we took off to Jamaica. We're finally settled so I wanted to take this opportunity to say hello.
Take care,
Your guys were great!!
Wonderful to work with too!

Thanks again.

Everyone told us that the live music was great. We did not hear it because we felt like we were 'under water' when we walked down the aisle!
The rest of the evening was exactly like the bride and groom wanted. We are low key also so it was terrific.
Thanks

On behalf of myself, my wife, my family and all of our guests, I want to truly thank you for your services at our wedding on May 3, 2008. The music was perfect! Absolutely amazing! Your piano playing during cocktail hour was beautiful, you organization throughout the evening was flawless, and the music you played was perfectly timed and the selection was fantastic! I cannot thank you enough. I never once had to think about the music, and that made it all the more wonderful. I had several guests comment on the music and how appropriate it was. What a wonderful evening. Additionally, the way you worked so well with the management at the National Arts Club was seamless!
Of course I will recommend you to any and all my friends who are looking for DJ and/or music services!
Thank you so much for making our wedding all the more wonderful!
Cheers,

Dear Brendan,
It’s taken me a week to recover from my party last Saturday night, but now that my head has come out of the fog I had to write you.
Dave and his assistant were the most amazing DJ’s EVER!! The music could not have been more perfectly in tune with my vision for what it should have been. There was not one guest that didn’t mention what a fabulous job he did. My feet are still aching from dancing for 3 ½ hours straight.
And the pianist earlier in the evening was absolutely wonderful although I don’t think I even had the chance to meet him.
Please extend my heartfelt thanks to the entire team for making my birthday celebration so joyously memorable.
I will be referring you to friends and family forever!!!

Hi Brendan,
I am sorry I haven't gotten in touch with you sooner, it has been a crazy month. Right after the honeymoon I started a new job and life has been moving at top speed - I can't believe its been a month already.
We had a wonderful time and you did an amazing job. It was exactly what we wanted and I feel like I was pretty much on the dance floor the whole night! You gave us some great moments that will last forever! I think my sister said it best when she said, I have been to some fun weddings, but going the "Dirty Jersey" route was the most fun! A huge complement coming from some original Jersey girls. I can't even count the number of people who commented on what a great DJ we had. I will definitely pass your name along. I also wanted to thank you for all your help with the preparation. You were a pleasure to work with, very professional and you answered all of my questions and concerns in a timely manner. Thanks again for a great day, we couldn't have asked for anything better.
If you would like something more formal, a recommendation in writing or want to use us as a reference, we would be happy to.
Thanks again,

We received so many compliments on the music. The ceremony music was just beautiful and the volume in the ballroom for both the live and DJ music was just perfect. We will definitely recommend BOK Music to our friends. My only regret is that I did not have someone tape your performance so I could hear it over and over again. If you have any concerts open to the public - please let us know!

Brendan-
Many thanks. Music was great and I think you could tell from the crowd on the dance floor that the guests were loving it. I already gave your name to our friend Melina who was there that night and may need music for her husband's upcoming birthday. Thanks again.

Thanks Brendan.
You did a great job. Everyone said what a great time they had and I'm sure the music and piano playing had a lot to do with that.
Thanks again!

Brendan,
Sorry for the very long delay in getting back to you. I have heard nothing but high praise for your efforts to make our party the success that is was.
I am confident that your name will be recommended any time a DJ is needed.
Thanks again for a great night.

I'm getting around to thanking everyone who made our wedding day memorable; surely, the music was key. I particularly want to thank you for nailing the music during our marriage ceremony, the essential moment of the day for Kim and me. I'd be happy to serve as a reference should you need one. Thanks again.

Thank you for your follow-up letter. Dave the violinist was most wonderful, both his musical talent and professional attitude. I just wish my photographer had had the same attitude!
3/28/2007
Hello Brendan. Thanks for everything. You played a great variety of music. Aside from just about everyone showing up in the nasty, everyone really enjoyed the music.
We have already started promoting you. Thank you for everything. Keep in touch.

Brendan-
Thank you so much. It has been hectic since we have gotten back from South Africa. You know, just thrown right back into work, and organizing gifts.....
The wedding was a lot of fun and you did a fabulous job with the music.
I think the testament to that was everyone dancing. And John dancing like a wild man. He was the one saying "I won't dance at the wedding", right!
I will say that I know the music was great because I didn't worry about it once and I loved everything you played. I like how you and John decided to have John do the little speech to transition the crowd to dancing.
I liked how the speeches were spread out. I don't think any of it sounded too long.
Many people commented on the wedding and the great music. You know in the end, I think all generations were happy with the music.
The only thing I noticed, was with 100 people upstairs for cocktails, the noise of people talking really drowned out the piano. Which was a shame, because you play so beautifully. I was very pleased with the piano at the ceremony.
Thank you so much. We will certainly recommend you to anyone we know who is looking for a DJ in the Westchester or NYC areas!

Brendan, I will be sending you an "official" thank you note but in the meantime, our thanks and heartfelt compliments on the music. Our guests raved about it - two couples said how nice it was to attend an adult wedding with marvelous music that allowed guests to talk in peace without shouting and to dance if they watned to or just sit and have the music serve as the perfect background. George and Don could not have been more gracious and they are truly talented musicians. Every song I hoped to hear I did and the " first dance" was a great success.

Words can not properly express how happy we were with our wedding. The music that you and your team delivered for us, starting with the piano/flute ceremony, continuing with the piano/clarinet cocktail hour, and finishing with the amazing DJ set for reception, was something that everyone that attended our wedding will hopefully never forget. I know that Carrie and I will always be grateful. It should go without saying, but, BOK easily has our seal of approval should you be looking for a wedding musician/DJ.
Warmest regards,

Hey Brendan,
Have I told you lately how much I enjoy working with you? Most of our work as music educators is done "solo". It is so rewarding to collaborate with another professional! And ... I love how you jump in with the warm-ups and hand-signing. It sends a very powerful message to the kids and validates what I am doing! Thanks, buddy.

Hi, Brendan. It was great to see you again. Thanks so much for providing GREAT music to dance by. We all had a blast! I could have extended the party by another hour and everyone would have stayed. Too bad my budget doesn't allow me to do that.
Please make sure you save me on your calendar for 2007. I already have the date - Friday, December 7th.
Had a great time. Thanks again for being there for us.

I just wanted to thank you again for such a great job at this year's party! We got nothing but raves about the music and it was great having you back again this year - it was the one detail we didn't have to worry about. You guys really know how to relate to our crowd and keep them dancing. They didn't want to stop even at the end of the night. Hope you had fun too!
Thanks again and happy holidays to you!

Dear Brendan - Even though I do event planning for my company, it is a little different being the Wedding Planner for your children. You hope and pray that everything goes according to plan and that the kids are happy! Sunday proved to be such an event. The wedding was perfect in every way and I thank you so very much for the wonderful music you provided. From the classical music throughout the ceremony, to the jazz at the cocktail hour, followed by the the fabulous DJ during the reception, it was marvelous. Judging from the dance floor which was never empty, the music was a huge success. We received so many telephone calls on Monday from friends and relatives expressing their gratitude for a wonderful time.
Thank you again,

Thanks Brendan. I think that the music was great, and you and Dave were very accommodating to using the songs I chose and finding the appropriate selection and sequencing among them to suit the mood of the event. I'll be sure to refer you to any friends or family that I know of who may be in need of a DJ. Thanks again for being part of our special day!

Hi Brendan,
Hello Brendan, Sorry for not replying sooner, we arrived home from Paradise about a week ago(Hawaii) so we are getting ourselves organized.
7/26/2006
Dear Brendan,
We were overjoyed with your music selections and charm on the microphone. Chris and I never expected to have such a good time at our wedding. Several people commented on the music saying it was a perfect mix of fast and slow, Indian and Irish. You and Dave were fabulous -- Thank you!
The ceremony music was beautiful, your help in deciding music for this was invaluable.
We were taking photos for much of the cocktail hour but friends and relatives raved about your piano playing along with Dave on guitar.
During the reception you had the perfect balance of staying with our suggested music list and adding songs that you knew would keep people on the dance floor. The Bollywood dance was a hit and really set the tone for an incredible night. Thank you for suggesting where to include the dance in the flow of the evening as well as mixing Kagare with the following song.
If any future clients want a referral, we would be happy to talk with them.
Again, thanks so much for making our wedding so fabulous.
Best,
R. Gazdar

Hi Brendan,
Tom and I wanted to thank you and Dave for making our day special. It all seemed to go really fast! I really enjoyed having the piano played during the ceremony/cocktail. I am also glad you were able to play for my friend to sing. It is the little things that make something so special. I will keep you in mind if anyone I know needs a DJ. Thanks again!

Hi, Brendan!
Just wanted to drop you a quick note because I didn't get a chance to thank you after the reception. You did an incredible job--the music at the ceremony and throughout the party was perfect. (And everyone I spoke to afterwards told us what a great job you did, too.) Jennie and I had a spectacular time, and a large part of that was because you created exactly the vibe and great energy we were looking for.
Hope you and yours enjoy a wonderful New Year!

Sorry you haven't heard from us 'til now. We were away for 2 weeks and are now just recovering from the back-to-work routine.
The wedding was perfect in every way. People really enjoyed themselves and so did we. You did a fantastic job--everybody up and dancing--which is what we wanted to see. Not to mention coming through for us at the church!!
We are very pleased and have been recommending your name to people. Hopefully, they will take our advice and call you.
All the best,
Mark and Eileen
Before we left on our honeymoon we wanted to stop and thank you for the amazing music at our reception! We appreciate you coming along for the ride on our wild wedding escapade... For that we will always be so very grateful! Because of you, we enjoyed and celebrated as if we didn't have a care in the world! Our friends and families can't stop talking about the piano playing and incredible dance music....I am trying to get back my voice...a sign that I had a damn good time!! ..smiles!! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

All the best-

Dear Mr. O'Keefe:
We hardly had any time to meet and talk last Saturday, a very busy day but certainly a most joyful one for all of us. Please accept our most sincere thanks for your excellent work at this memorable event. Your music was especially pleasant and well adapted, and all of us appreciated it, not an easy feat for guests coming from so many different places.
The young couple was in very good spirits after their wedding, and then left for a few days of well deserved rest.
Very sincerely,

Brendan -- The party was a huge success. The kids had a great time and Lotte did a terrific job for them. I'm happy we were able to pull it off despite the lousy weather -- everyone showed for the party, but no one else showed up at the club so the kids had the place to themselves.
It was a lot of fun!.
Enjoy this snowy weekend if you can, and thanks a million for your help.

HI Brendan,
Thanks for the good wishes! That is extremely thoughtful of you to remember. We had a wonderful day and the music was fantastic! Our DJ, Fred, was a consummate pro! He did all that we wanted and really added to the decor of our party. I got nothing but rave reviews from our guests on how professional he was and he did his best to keep everyone happy with their requests. Word of mouth is the best marketing tool and BOK will be my only recommendation if anyone I know needs a DJ.
All the best to you.

Matt & I are back to reality & it's not easy!
We had such a blast at our wedding & so did everyone else!! Thankfully the hurricane blew by & we were able to have a beautiful ceremony outside. You did a fantastic job playing piano & playing our music -- we hope you enjoyed our tunes! We were very pleased with it all.
We only wish we could do it all again! Just wanted to say thank you & wish you the best of luck in the future!

Dear Brendan,
James and I want to thank you for the wonderful job you and your musicians did at our wedding. When I first walked into the church and I heard your playing the classical music, it was everything I had ever dreamed of. It was just beautiful. The music for the cocktail hour, the dinner, and dancing were just perfect as well.
I especially want to thank you for all of your patience with me before the event and the many questions I kept asking you. Your promptness and thoroughness with which you responded to all of my questions really put me at ease.
James and I also appreciated how you asked our approval before playing any strange requests by our guests during the dancing (such as the "money dance"). Everything you did made our wedding day a day we will never forget!! Our guests would agree. They all gave you rave reviews and said they never had so much fun dancing. Your music and your hard work gave James and I a wonderful satisfaction of knowing our guests had a terrific time!!
Brendan, we truly can't thank you enough for all the hard work you put in to make our day special for us.
All the best!
Sincerely,
C. & J. Groven

Brendan,
I can't thank you enough for helping to make John's bar mitzvah so special. You provided the perfect mix of music, games and fun to keep everyone well entertained. I think it's very likely that we would have our other sons' bar mitzvahs in White Plains, as well; and I would love to have you provide the music again.
Take care and you may hear from me in a couple of years! Thanks again.

I got your name from Chris A. because we attended Chris and Michelle's wedding and were impressed by the music. I am planning my own wedding - at the last minute and would like to know if you are available for August 23rd from 7:30 - 11:30pm...Our wedding will be a relatively small event (approx. 80 people) and one of the things that drew me to you was the ability to be low key and keep people on the dance floor as well. Of course I wouldn't be a normal bride if I wasn't still a little concerned and in need of some hand holding and reassurance.
Thanks

We'd like to go ahead and sign the attached proposal. When I return to the office tomorrow or Monday, I will fill it out and fax it to you.

most definitely need your expertise!
Yes--Tom did a terrific job. Several people mentioned his skill in a wide variety of styles of music. Thank you--and I'll look forward to hearing from you next fall!!! Thanks.
K. Conroy 12/23/02
Just wanted to let you know how great you were! Everyone enjoyed the music and has been telling us how much fun they had. Thanks again for making our
wedding special!
Brendan, we are packing to the tunes on the CD you burned. It's terrific! I agree...the 2nd version of En Mi Viejo San Juan on the CD was better than the one I gave you.
Thanks so much again for being so great! We'll catch up with you when we return. Meanwhile, please send us the bill for the additional time you stayed.
Best regards,

hi brendan,
just thinking about how much i enjoyed your music at our wedding and wanted to first thank you again. of course i will send you a written thank you note.
right now, i have a very important question to ask you. do you play piano for small family parties at their homes?? we are throwing an intimate family party ( 14 people all family) for my dad who is turning 70 this december. knowing how much i love your playing, and how much my dad enjoyed you playing, i thought it would be so lovely to give this gift to him. and yes we have a piano, it is an upright and i will get it tuned.
thanks so much brendan, i look forward to hearing from you!
best wishes,

and your service at our wedding. I don't know about you, but everyone was dancing A LOT! Did you think so? The evening flowed so well, and you executed your part with class - I really appreciate that. Thank you for playing most of the songs we requested (obviously you can't fit them all in!), and for doing it all in a great order.
name on if I know of anyone looking for a DJ, and also, please feel free to use me as a reference if you ever need one!
Best regards,
You rock! I tried every radio station in the CT area and no one knew what I was talking about.... Thanks so much. That will be the bride/father song. I'm still trying to get my fiance and his mother to pick out their song.

Brendan,
Thanks again for your music list...it came in very handy. If I ever need a
DJ in the Westchester area, my first inclination will be to call you, since you seemed much more on top of things. Not that I have a need right now,
but do you have any associates in the DC/metro area?
Brendan,
our wedding being so fun was the the #1 the music and #2 the booze and, oh yeah, the bride and groom. We are pregnant, due Dec. 20, 2002. One of the
names in contention is Brendan. We'll let you know if yours is a winner.
Brendan,
my answers. Thanks for being so thorough - you are making me feel very
calm!
As Stan and I reflected on our party, we felt compelled to thank you once again for your terrific contribution. There's no question that the music can "make or break" a party; but you made it a success as well as the music. You sized up the crowd perfectly, selected great pieces and timed it all flawlessly. It was our pleasure to meet you and truly hope we can do it again soon. In the meantime, we may be seeing you shortly at other people's parties since no less than 4 people have aked for your name since Saturday! Stay well - and once again - an enormous thank you -
S. Heifetz 8/15/02
Dear Brendan,
Thank you so much. My father says that he can't hear Al Green's "Let's Stay Together" anymore without thinking of how much fun we had dancing at the wedding. And Mr. Byrne has called us three times to tell us that Ella Fitzgerald's version of "Always" is on the radio. It goes to show you how important music is in our lives and how it brings back a flood of memories.
I hope you and your family are all well and enjoying the summer.
Warmest regards,

Dear Brendan,
I just want to thank you and your staff for doing such an amazing job at
the wedding. Everyone had the best time and I knew that I could count on you to know exactly what to say and what to play to get everyone up and dancing. It was wonderful not to have to worry about the music and be able to enjoy the night and dance with everyone, so again, thank you from the bottom of my heart. I would definitely recommend you to anyone looking for a great DJ, so don;t hesitate to use me as a reference if you need to!
Thanks again and have a great summer,
Hi Brendan. Thanks so much for following up. I am so sorry I did not get
back to you sooner. We have chosen to go in a different direction for music at our wedding. But I must say I was very impressed by the services you have to offer, and how you handle things, very professionally, so I would not hesitate to recommend your service to anyone who asks. Thank you for
your kind attention.

You played the music at my friend, Nina's wedding a few years

certainly recommend you for future events!
Brendan,
We cannot thank you enough for making our wedding so much more special. Our
guests had a great time and so many gave raving compliments on the music. The transition of music from the ceremony to the cocktail hour and then onto dinner and dancing was perfect. Thank you for your recommendation of adding the additional instruments. They really created a special environment. You are a true professional. Your timing of everything could not have been more perfect. Without hesitation we will think of you when we have musical needs as well as recommend you to others. We send our best wishes to you for
continued success.
Hi Brendan:
Hope all is well with you and your family.
Just wanted to thank you for everything again. Our wedding was beautiful and the music was FABULOUS. I will refer you to anyone I come across who needs a DJ!

Thanks again for everything, you were great. Send me some business cards if

You seem to be the best fit for our situation overall and I am impressed with the level of technology you use. My fiancé and I both work in the computer field so the use of MP3s was of particular interest.
I really hope that we can work together. I appreciate that you've taken such an interest in us already. I can only imagine the amount of service you provide to those that have booked you. I'm sure that you can tell from my posts on the boards that I'm am quite vocal about vendors. Be sure that I will recommend you to anyone who asks for your kind of services.

an area called Los Feliz. We were very excited to see a raving review about you with some information we got from the Kittle House (and were happy to share it
with our parents!). We're looking forward to working with you.
Dear Brendan,
Tomorrow, we celebrate our two week anniversary. While we are back from our honeymoon, and have resumed our daily responsibilities, we are still reliving our wedding day through pictures and telephone conversations with our friends and family. While it is clear that the star that day was the bride, it seams the co-star was "that piano-playing DJ"! We have yet to speak to a guest who didn't rave about you! While neither of us particularly remembers the piano playing during the wedding ceremony, we have photographic proof you were playing, and accounts from guests at how great you performed!
The individual responsible for music at our wedding was to be someone held to a very high standard. You know from our conversations prior to the wedding that both we had a lot of "demands" about the music and the volume. Brendan, you exceeded our expectations! Your selections and volume control could not have been more perfect. You successfully provided the perfect music selections for those who wanted to dance, as well as controlling the volume so our guests could enjoy their meals and conversation simultaneously! BRAVO!
It goes without saying that we whole-heartedly recommend you. P. also wanted me to emphasize how easy you were to work with through email - a convenience that made planning a New York wedding from Florida an absolute must! Thank you.
With warm regards,
P. and P. Ivanyi 5/19/01

Thank you so much for everything, it was perfect!
agreed that your wedding was one of the best we've ever been to. The Kittle House really came through for you - what food they served us! The music was just right the entire night. Some of these guys forget that the purpose of the music is to accompany the evening, rather than be a showcase of their sound system.
the Kittle House back in September. Amazing job. You were absolutely fantastic. Well, I'm writing you now because I may have another gig for you... A friend of mine who heard you and the band play at my reception is now starting to plan her own reception, and she'd like to talk to you about it. If you're interested, I'd love to pass your name/number on to her. Please let me know....
Thanks.

everybody can't stop talking about the music. My father-in-law couldn't stop dancing all day! He said that it was the best wedding he has been to in years-in regards to the music and of course because he is the father of the groom. I will definitely put your name in my top recommendation list. You are a true gem to work with, thanks for everything!!!

contribution to our wedding reception at Tappan Hill on October 14. What we were really hoping for was something fun but not cheesie, and you gave us exactly what we wanted!
appropriate for the mood and the environment we were hoping to create. As we moved into the dining room downstairs, we really appreciated your professional and toned down approach for the introduction of the family wedding party. We were also pleased with all the music you played during the reception and your ability to read the crowd. It was just what we had wanted!!
We have received lots of comments of how fun the reception was and what great music was played and that compliment really belongs to you. But most importantly Alex and I enjoyed ourselves. We'd also like to thank you for your professionalism in the months leading up to the event. The confidence you instilled was invaluable, as we knew the music was one of the details (a very important detail!) we would not have to worry about. We hope it was as fun and entertaining for you as it was for us! :)
We'd be happy to be a reference for you if you like.

During dinner people asked us what would be left to dance to, the DJ was playing already playing the best stuff. But Joe kept it going.

Dear Brendan: Nicole and I would like to thank you for doing an outstanding job at our wedding. Many guests came up to us and said it was the most fun they ever had at a wedding. As we had hoped, your song selection had everyone up and dancing right from the start. In addition, we appreciate the professional manner in which you introduced the bridal party and made various announcements throughout out the evening. Unfortunately, many disc jockeys we've seen recently at other parties tend to rely on tacky antics and seem to attempt to become the center of attention. Your low-key approach was exactly what we had hoped for and we received nothing but compliments on the music selection. We will not hesitate to recommend your serviced to all of our family and friends who require DJ services. Thanks again!

Dear Brendan, Enclosed you will find and extra thank you for your "Grand" performance. Me and Debbie were very impressed with your song selection in addition to our original picks...

Dear Brendan: I want to thank you for a wonderful job at our Christmas Party this past Saturday. It was a huge success and a good portion of the credit goes to you. I heard nothing but glowing remarks about the music you played and how well you were able to determine the preferences of the crowd. You "kept them on their feet: and that's always a good sign of people having a great time.
As you promised, the quality of your sound system was excellent and very well suited to the size and setting of the room. I also appreciate your professional handling of the terms of the contract and the provision of you song list. Both were very clear and real assets to the smooth planning of the party.
Thanks so much for a great job. I'll be happy to provide any prospective clients with my highest recommendation and will also pass on your name to others in need of a fine DJ.

Dear Brendan, We just wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed the music at our wedding, and how well you worked with our live blues band - improvising and playing the keyboard along with them!

We'll definitely recommend you to others because you did such a great job and were so respectful of our wishes. Thanks again (and thanks for putting up with our complicated music needs and long list of requests!).

But you were just the best. It was just perfect. I can't think of how it could have been better, except if had just been longer. Anyway, thanks a lot and I'm sure you are going to get some recommendations out of it. We look forward to another occasion. Thanks a lot!"

I Can't tell you how much everyone enjoyed the music at the ceremony and the reception. The wedding went exactly as planned and your musical expertise was a major reason. Mike and I can't thank you enough!
Sincerely,
M. Grossman & Lynne Malone
Dear Brendan, I just wanted to thank you for the splendid music you provided at Adam's Bar Mitzvah party. We were all BLOWN AWAY by the variety of music you and your wonderful accompanist were able to produce. My only regret - I couldn't just sit and LISTEN! I'll be in touch with you about Adam's piano lessons.
SIncerely,
S. Khedouri
"Hi Brendan, It's A. Welsh calling just as a follow-up to Megan's wedding on Saturday. I just wanted to thank you again for being so nice and flexible. It was really a pleasure to work with you. And, I know that I was jumping around like an ant on an oven. That's the mother of the bride's role. I really appreciate all the things you were able to do for us and just wanted to let you know. If there is anything else you need from us let us know. Again, thank you, and I will certainly be able to recommend you to anyone else who is having a wedding.
Brendan, Thank you for helping to make our wedding a tremendous success!

Thanks very much! You helped to make everything perfect. We appreciate the time and care you put into making sure the night ran smoothly!
Thanks, again!
L. Matthews and R. D'Erizans
I was just thinking about you yesterday and I thought that I wanted to send you a note. I can't tell you how many compliments we got on the music and the musical flow of the wedding. You really did a great job! It was everything we wanted and more. Plus, let me talk about the ceremony for a minute. It seemed like you had practiced with my nephew for hours on that song, rather than 5 minutes. It was perfect! And of course, he was a star! Thank you so much for working with him before the ceremony.
Also, you were a pleasure to work with prior to the wedding with the planning.
Margaret is delighted that you will be the music at her wedding. You have been her first choice since we made the decision to have the party. Thanks again for everything. I am so happy that you are available.

She was absolutely correct! The evening was wonderful. Thank you for the wonderful job that you did! We had a ball, and you added the bounce!

Dear Brendan,
George and Rob did a great job. Just what we wanted, nice background music; please thank them. I neglected to tell them that their tip would be on our final bill.
Also the DJ worked out well. The day ended up being beautiful, so for a while a lot of the boys were outside playing touch football, but then wandered back in. The kids were well occupied and had fun, so it was a great success. The DJ made a point of coming up and updating me which was great. We did get off to a late start (as expected), but everyone went with the flow.
Thanks for asking, and we want to book you for our next son's Bar Mitzvah, May 7, 2005! And then there is my daughter's after that; some time in 2008. Seriously let me know when we can book 5/7/05.
Look forward to working with you again. Take care,

Matthew and Dave were fabulous, everyone commented on how great the music was. They were low-key, which is what we wanted, but really read the crowd and paced the music accordingly. They are now my favorite DJs and I will recommend you any chance I get. No one wanted to leave the dance floor (or wedding) which is the sign of a great party.
Thanks for everything.

Hello Brendan, Dave and Matt,
You were the DJs and musicians for Craig and Kristine's wedding last November 6th. I'm not sure that you'll remember us but you're surely unforgettable in our world. I never had nor have since heard better music at a wedding!! You were wonderful and so added to the magic of that day. We've recommend you whenever possible and will continue to do so. I hope all is well with you and once again, THANK YOU, for being the most important part (next to the bride and groom) of an absolutely magical wedding!!
Very warm regards from a most satisfied and grateful client,

I knew I wanted a good DJ to set the tone for the whole reception. But I'm not from the area and was doing the search without recommendations. I heard about you when visiting the Crabtree Kettle House. I contacted you because although your website is simple in design, it felt very personal and had a lot of good advice. It left me with the impression that you care about making a good party and meeting your client's needs and tastes. In communicating with you, I was put even more at ease. Having never hired a DJ before you made me feel comfortable that once I hired you I didn't need worry about logistics anymore and that you would help create the right tone through the music. You made sure we got all the details right without being fussy. Plus, you were quite flexible through my indecision about whether to have music at the ceremony. And, then of course the dancing was just great! And the flow of the evening was excellent. I think you read the crowd well and we never stopped dancing. So consider me a very happy customer.
Thanks again for making my wedding such a fun and memorable event! For me, the music and dancing made it a true celebration.

Brendan and Dave-
Thank you for helping to make Heather and Jeff's wedding ceremony and reception memorable events. And special thanks for responding to a literally eleventh hour crisis when our musicians, a nephew and his wife, showed up for the wedding without their instruments, which came in on the next plane. You calmed the crisis by bringing appropriate CD's and a guitar. When our other two daughters get married, we will hire you in a heartbeat.
Sincerely,
Don R.

Hi, Brendan,
BOK Music, as delivered by Matthew, helped make Kate’s Sweet 16 a big success! We appreciate your accessibility and willingness to have Kate’s input and special requests for the music for her party – it made her feel comfortable and confident. Your deejay, Matthew, is a personable young man with presence, and his demeanor fit perfectly with the tone of our party – low-key, but with style and good fun.
All in all, a professional and satisfying collaborative experience. We look forward to another opportunity to use BOK Music.

Thanks. Matt was great. The music was low-key. Just what we wanted.
Many guests were older people and they all commented on how it was wonderful to be able to talk to people at their table without having to scream over the music. I would definitely recommend BOK Music to anyone who is looking for a DJ.
Regards,

Hi Brendan,
You and Dave were AWESOME! So many people came up to me and told me how great the music was – you really got the crowd going and the music selections were right on. We’ve always struggled with DJ’s in the past and this year it was so nice to have you there. People also loved that you were so open to requests. We will definitely call you for our party next year.
Thanks again for helping to make it a great evening – and happy holidays!
Best,

Hi Brendan,
We actually attended Julie and Brian's wedding, which you DJ’ed. We liked everything so much (even though we weren’t even engaged at the time) we both separately made a mental note to ask them who their DJ was when the time came to make a decision. To tell you the truth – you were the first thing we decided on, and it was the easiest decision!!
We liked that you were very low-key, not intrusively loud and really paid attention to what was going around (lowering music during dinner so people could talk, changing pace of music depending on the energy of the crowd, and you were able to seamlessly mix different types of music together to appeal to all ages). No pressure – but you’re the one thing we’re NOT worried about on the big day.
Thanks again for everything.

Hello Brendan.
Thanks so much for your participation! Big fun.
I'm not much of a dancer myself, especially when wearing a gown with a train, but by all accounts, the dancing was continuous and entertaining on many levels. I can't wait to see the video! My personal favorite moment was when you broke into "Sweet Caroline" (my new husband labeled that move "inspired").

Brendan, the party was wonderful as always and Matthew could not be nicer.

HI BRENDAN,
Thank you for playing the party! We loved the music and had a fabulous time. I hope that you had a good time too, if that is possible when you are working. I understand that you knew a few of the guests. That is not surprising actually. It was fun emailing you and working out what the party would be. Thank you for playing for us. It was a pleasure doing business together.
I promise to pass your name along! Thank you for making the party so terrific. I loved the party!

Once again, great work, and we will definitely recommend you to anyone having a wedding in the area.
Thanks!

Dear Brendan,
Thank you! Sorry for the late response, we just got back from the honeymoon.
I can honestly say that we couldn't be more impressed with your performance last Saturday. You came highly recommended by M's sister and family, and wow were they right! You played most of our waitlists but also injected your own style, announced all the entrances and special moments perfectly, and helped the evening flow. My only regret is that we didn't keep you more informed about our departure - I felt like we had to rush you! Just as the night was beginning to unfold. Of course, you handled that well too and wrapped things up nicely.
Thank you sincerely from both of us for being such a great DJ and making our night that much more memorable. You and your assistant did the perfect amount of "being seen" and then of sitting back and letting the guests do their thing.
If there is anything we can do in the way of recommendations, ratings, etc., please let us know. We wish you all the best, and thank you again for doing such a great job at our wedding!
Best,
