Bill’s Toupee Rocks!! That’s all we have to say but we will give you more because everyone that is getting married should have them play their wedding. We were looking for a band that was more party than traditional wedding. We wanted contemporary with enough standards that our parents and their friends would enjoy. We got both and more - from Cat Stevens, Lady Gaga, Coldplay, Billy Joel and even Toto (that’s right, they broke out Africa by Toto) the whole place was dancing from beginning to end. We had a 130 guests and if everyone that we talked to didn’t come up and ask who the band was I would be shocked. They got the party going with a great Hora that led into Black Eyed Peas, PINK and Bon Jovi. They were the exact band we were looking for and delivered on all accounts. They handled the MC duties to perfection and worked with all of the vendors we hired to make sure the wedding ran smooth. I would be remiss to not mention that Mike, the band leader played our ceremony and learned a new song for our procession. He played Coldplay “til kingdome come” masterfully and the whole place was in awe, it was special. We can’t say enough about how great our wedding was with Bill’s Toupee. Desaree, Mike and the rest of the band are top notch. Hire them, dance with them and have a great time partying with them. You won’t regret it. Feel free to write us with any thoughts or if you want to hear more. Jeff & Ariel Oct. 22, 2011, Life, The Place To Be, Ardsley, NY

But we had an absolute blast!!! Kristen & Joe Sept. 16, 2011, Lazy Swan Golf and Country Club, Saugerties, NY Hi Mike, We just got back yesterday from our honeymoon, but wanted to send you a note as soon as I could…you guys were AWESOME!!! Our guests were raving about you!!! everyone had such a great time and I am so pleased with how you kept everyone up and dancing all night long!

Lauren Sept. 10, 2011, Highlands Country Club, Garrison, NY Mike, I was so happy to receive your email. Eric and I are so thrilled with the entire evening and that was largely due to the performance of the band. Our families and friends we so impressed by the variety and sound of all the songs you played. We will be sure to recommend you to all who seek our help :) The first dance song sounded FANTASTIC and we appreciate that you learned that song for us. I know it meant a lot to Eric since he chose our song. Thanks again! Jen KENNETT Sept. 3, 2011, Candlewood Inn, Brookfield, CT Dear Mike, How can I begin to thank you for the wonderful entertainment that you and your band provided!? I wanted to write and let you know that as Michael and I went around the room to greet our guests we recieved questions about where we'd found such a wonderful band at every table. Our guests were impressed with your song choices and musical talents as a group, as were we. Each and every song made people want to get out on the floor and dance, as evidenced by the fact that the dance floor wasn't empty for a single minute that you were playing. (Or that when you played the last song of the evening people yelled "encore" and begged you to play just one more song.) I always believed that the success of a wedding reception was based on how good the music was, a third of our guests were still on the dance floor at the end of the night, thanks to you! We were so excited to still have so many friends with us at the end of the evening to finish out our special day with dancing. As for Michael and I, we had such a wonderful time dancing to your music. I also want to thank you for playing our first dance song. The fact that you played the song live for our first dance made our day that much more memorable. We also enjoyed your introductions, and want thank you for your attention to detail. We appreciate you, and Desaree, taking the time to make sure that all of our names were pronounced correctly and that we were in the appropriate order for our introductions. These seem like such tiny details in the grand scheme of things, but they're what make the day perfect and worry free. Please know that we will recommend you to every couple we know who are getting married. I would love to run into you at weddings in the future because I know it means the evening will be fun. (I also know a few of our friends who were at our wedding asked for your card as they are in the midst of planning their own, so I'm hoping it will be theirs.) If I can ever serve as a reference for you, please let me know. Again, thank you for a wonderful, music-filled, dance-filled reception. We are truly grateful for the music and lights that Bill's Toupee provided. With warmest regards and sincerest thanks, Hilary and Michael Loosemore, August 20, 2011, Wolfert's Roost, Albany, NY Mike, Thank you so much for everything! You guys were awesome, as usual! The music was perfect and we enjoyed every minute! Mike and I, and the rest of the family are planning on coming to see you guys perform soon. Again, thanks for everything! Cyndi and Mike July 31, 2011, Villa Barone Hilltop Manor, Mahopac, NY Dear Bill's Toupee, Thank you for helping us host a fun reception on July 30th! You guys were AWESOME! Our guests raved about your band!! Your professionalism, mc'ing, volume, and music were perfect. Thank you for taking the time to learn our special songs. They were AMAZING and we greatly appreciated your effort to accommodate our requests. I love that our guests chanted "one more song" at the end of the evening- Sweet Caroline was the perfect ending to a magical day. Thank you for the wonderful memories! Kim & Kevin Norman July 30, 2011, Seasons at The Tradition, Wallingford Center, CT Hi Mike- You guys are awesome and yes-a good time was had by all! We will be sure to recommend you to anyone who is looking for a GREAT band and we hope to see you play again sometime soon. Is the band on facebook? Thanks!! Christine July 24, 2011, The Grandview, Poughkeepsie, NY Thanks so much Mike! We loved having you as well. Everybody was raving about how amazing you were (including Lindy!) and we will definitely keep you in mind for future events as well as trying to come see you when we're upstate for visits. If we have some fun pics of you guys, we will pass them along... :) And yes that's Dan's first pic- ha! He said to feel free to call him with any insurance questions :) Cristin & Dan, July 23, 2011, Mountainville Manor, Mountainville, NY Hi Mike, We had such an amazing time at our wedding. You guys rocked and our guests are still raving about you. We will definately recommend you to our friends. Thank you! Sara and Pete July 9, 2011, Old Tappan Manor, Old Tappan, NJ Thanks Mike, You and the band were fantastic.... I know everyone really loved you guys. Thanks again for making the reception a special day. Dave July 2, 2011, Benmarl Winery, Marlboro, NY Mike, We were so happy to have you! I knew you'd be able to work off of the "feel" of the party and you did it well. And our guests were SO impressed. We were on a dinner cruise the night before with a cheesy, terribly loud twosome...all were very thankful we had you. Hoping to get something in the mail to you all when I'm caught up. Thanks again!! Best, Jessica July 17, 2011, The Sagamore, Bolton Landing, NY (Lake George) Mike, I hope all the people that raved to us about you guys actually told you how great you all were. It was kind of funny how the feedback all sounded just about the same... the band kicked ass (or some variation of rocking). We couldn't have hoped for better. We got a bunch of positive feedback about the lights also. Anyone thinking of using them should do it without hesitation. The people on the dance floor at first were looking at themselves and the ground mesmerize by the display and effects until they realized what it was, and kept on dancing. And many thanks for letting Andy sit in on a couple of songs. If anyone contacts you that is on the fence about who to use as a band, tell them to call/e-mail me, and I will recommend you 10,000%. We couldn't be more pleased about not only the band's performance, but the ease of the transaction and the flexibility and patience you showed us. You took the worry out of the musical portion of planning the wedding. Many thanks again, Cheryl & Michael Lachant, October 17, 2010 (contact information furnished upon request) Hi Mike - You guys did a great job! Everything went really well and we had a great time! We heard lots of good things from our friends and family about you guys as well. Thank you for taking care of everything - you did a great job picking the music and playing our requests. It was a wonderful night for Seth and I! Best, Brittany, (Hotel Thayer, West Point, NY) 11/13/10 Bill's Toupee Band did a fantastic job for our wedding! Mike was extremely helpful and we couldn't have been happier with our choice. We received so many great compliments about the band- even from my cousin who can be the harshest music critic! Our first dance was to "At Last" and several guests commented on how Desiree did an amazing job singing it. They also accommodated some last minute song requests from my mother & mother-in-law, including a tribute song to my deceased father which I greatly appreciated. They perfectly embodied the spirit of our wedding- elegant but also fun & laid back. There were no cheesy antics- just GREAT music. I would highly recommend them for any event! Kim & Rob, Aug 7, 2010 Colgate University, Hamilton, NY Thank YOU and your awesome band mike! There aren't words for how much I enjoyed the whole wedding, and for how totally perfect the day was. Brad and I are still trying to just absorb the whole thing :) it was amazing! We wish you all the best and thank you again. -Jem (the bride), September 25, 2010 Mayflower Inn and Spa, Washington, CT Hi Mike, Thank you so much! We had such a great time and received so many compliments from our guests about the band! I know it was a trek, but we are so happy that you guys were our band and we will definitely recommend you to our friends (who will probably have their weddings much closer to nyc haha) Best, -- Kim, August 7, 2010, Colgate University, Hamilton, NY Thanks so much Mike! People have been raving about how awesome you were-and I couldn't agree more! We loved you guys. Thanks for the Jamiroquoi songs! :) Best, --Leigh, July 31, 2010, Hall of Springs, Saratoga Springs, NY Hi Mike- Sorry for the delayed reply - we just got back from our honeymoon in the Bahamas.  Thank you for playing at our wedding!  You guys were really fantastic, and definitely gave the party the energy level that we wanted.  I was especially impressed by your smooth transitions between songs.  So - I'm glad that you enjoyed it, because we did too!! Thanks again, -- Sasha, 7/11/10, house wedding in Tivoli, NY Hi Mike! We were so happy with Bill's Toupee, you guys are a fantastic band! Everyone keeps telling me how great our band was and how much fun they had so thank you guys for doing such a wonderful job! Come Sail Away was absolutely perfect and was even better than I pictured it. Hopefully we'll see you guys again soon!! -- Nicole, May 29, 2010, Orchard Creek, Altamont, NY Hi Mike, Not much time to write (We are at an internet cafe in Turkey, on our honeymoon) but we just wanted to say thank you so much for the amazing job you guys did at our wedding! We LOVED the music, and everything went off without a hitch. Thank you so much for contributing to our day, and for learning our first dance song for us! It was perfect. :) All the best, -- Sara & Chris, May 30, 2010 Le Chateau, South Salem, NY Hey Mike- ...The wedding was a blast!!!

Also thanks for letting me get up there again and sing a few tunes!! The new inlaws got a real kick out of it!! I hope all is well and give the band our best!! You guys are the best and we hope to get together soon!!! I have to start talking the family into getting married and using you guys!! It would be a wedding without Bills Toupee!! Talk to you soon mike!! All our best, -- Pete and Nicole, March 26, 2010, The Thatched Cottage, Centerport Long Island Mike, It was awesome- thanks for letting me play with you guys. So many people have told us the wedding was great- that the band was amazing. I already gave your card and number away a few times- send more cards... -- Joshua Smith, Mohawk River Club, Rexford, NY March 27, 2010 Hi Mike, Thanks again for such a wonderful day! Eric and I had so much fun. Our family and friends absolutely loved the band! We look forward to coming to see you play at future events! Thanks again, -- Brenda, Oct. 10, 2009, Grandview, Poughkeepsie, NY Hey Mike, Two weeks almost gone by and I'm still hearing raves about your band. I can truly say that you guys made our night so memorable. You and the open bar that is! Numerous guests have told me they are tracking your performances...so more groupies for you! Oh, and nice surprise with our friend Steve taking the mic. That was a gutsy move, but sounded great! If you need more "fill ins" let me know! Haha. But seriously,on behalf of myself, Bill, my parents and our guests, thank you so much for bringing such energy and fun to our night. You guys rock. I will be posting comments ( good ones!) on your website shortly. Take care and thanks again! -- Lisa, Oct. 3, 2009, Dutchess Manor, Beacon, NY You guys did such an amazing job! Everyone was on the dance floor having a blast. You set the mood with such energy and fun, the whole night was unbelievably wonderful. Everyone was laughing and smiling including you guys which was great to see! You really enjoy what you do and it shows! Everyone was amazed at how well you sounded, we've been hearing rave reviews all day! Mike and I cannot thank you enough for everything your band brought to our wedding, it was absolutely fantastic! All of you are amazing! thanks again -- Mike and Sue, Oct. 11, 2009, VIP Club, New Rochelle, NY Mike, Sorry for the delay in getting back to you, we were on our honeymoon! You guys were AMAZING and people can't stop talking about it. That Devil Went Down to Georgia Medley is something I will never, ever forget (thank God I didn't fall off the chair!), among many others. My mother in law told me today that one of her friends who was there said her husband danced with her for only the second time in their marriage that night. Now that's a compliment! I also saw the videos - they were great! Please let us know if there is anything you need from us. We'd recommend you to anyone! All the best, Julie and Andrew, Buttermilk Falls Inn & Spa, Milton, NY Sept. 19, 2009 Hi Mike - Jim and I cannot begin to thank you guys enough. You absolutely made our wedding awesome. We are still in Greece but are still getting comments and emails about the wedding and it would never have been so much fun without Bills Toupee. If there is anything at all that we can do in the future for you, please feel free to let me know. Please put me on the top of your reference list because I can't imagine anyone using any other band. Everything was perfect from the ceremony to the extra last song at the end. As soon as I get my pictures from the photographer I will send you the link. Thank you again for everything!!! Love Erin and Jim, Sept. 5, 2009 Patriot Hills, Stony Point, NY (phone number furnished upon request) Mike - You must have esp - I was just thinking of emailing you.  We wanted to thank you and the entire band for helping make our wedding absolutely perfect.  The music was really exceptional and you knew just how to get everyone dancing at the right times.  We had the most wonderful time and we received so many compliments about you guys.  I also heard from a friend inLake Placid not at the wedding who said she could hear the ceremony from where she was and that itsounded awesome and fun.    Thank you again so, so much, -- Karen and Brian, Sept 6, 2009, Whiteface Club & Resort, Lake Placid, NY Bill's Toupee, Thank you so much for such an amazing unforgettable wedding. We didn't believe that by the end of the night everyone was chanting "Bill's Toupee" but it happened and we had a great time. We couldn't have asked for anything better. You are the best! Can't wait to hear you again." -- Eric & Meaghan, Aug. 8, 2009 West Park Winery Hey Mike!   John and I just wanted to say that you guys were amazing!!! Everyone really loved your group and had a great time, it's too bad that it couldn't have gone longer, we all wanted to keep on dancing! Thanks so much for letting us come up and play, that was by far the best part of the whole wedding for us. And I will definitely come sing with you guys, just say the word! I am definitely going to recommend your band to all my friends as they get married, and I'm gonna try to get Scott to work with you guys too!   It was an amazing wedding and you were a huge part in making it so. Tell Desaree that we said thanks and that I had a blast dancing and singing with her!   All the best,   -- Katti and John Battaglia, Interlaken Inn, Lakeville, CT 6/20/09 Hi Mike, You guys were so fabulous and really made the wedding a blast! I heard many comments about how much everyone enjoyed the music. I'm sorry that I missed the Michael Jackson tribute because it was a big hit! We'll definitely recommend you guys to anyone we know who is getting married. Thanks so much for your lovely email! We're lucky enough to have wonderfully supportive families and friends, so I'm glad that shone through at the wedding. Best, -- Bethany, (the bride) Round Hill House, Washingtonville, NY June 27, 2009 Hi Mike, Thank you so much! We had an amazing time..your band did an AWESOME job! All the best and thanks again, -- Leslie & Jaret, Belvedere Mansion, Staatsburg, NY , Mat 24, 2009 Hey Mike, you guys were amazing. All of my friends and parents' friends are still raving about you. Hope to be in touch in the future. Sincerely, -- Josh and Mana, The Grandview, Poughkeepsie, NY , May 10.2009 Hi Mike, Thanks! And thank you for doing a fabulous job, as always! We've received so many compliments on the job you did. We loved every minute of it! I was going to add Africa to the must play list, but decided I wasn't sure how people would feel about it...I loved that you played it anyway!!! Great suggestion on the Devil too...that really got people going! -- Jamie Primo, Feb. 28, 2009, North Ritz Club, Syosset, (Long Island) New York Mike and Bills Toupee- We just wanted to thank you guys for playing at our wedding! We had such a good time at the Molloy wedding in Lake George a couple of years ago that there was no doubt in our mind that we wanted to book you for our wedding! We had a wonderful time and as I am sure you were able to tell, all of our guests did as well. We can't wait until March of 2010 for round 3, when you play at my brothers wedding! Its going to be the same crowd all over again so look forward to a good time! The whole family is so looking forward to it. And thank you for letting my brother sing with you and my cousin play the tambourine...definitely one of the highlights of the night. Once I get some pictures back I will be sure to pass them along. We have been recommending you guys to anyone and everyone who is looking for a band to play at a function. See you in about a year! We are really looking forward to it! Thanks again! Jacqueline and Paul, January 16, 2009, North Ritz Club, Syosett, NY P.S. Africa was awesome! Definite crowd pleaser! and Footloose is one of my all time favorite songs and you truely did a great job with that one! Please play it at my brothers wedding :-) Dear Bill's Toupee Band: Thank you all so much for doing such a wonderful job at our wedding! We appreciate it so much. Everyone was raving about you and we definitely made the right choice for a band! -- Jessica & Anthony Macchiarola, October 10, 2008, St. Clement's Castle, Portland, CT Hey Mike, Just gettin' around to checking mail after the honeymoon....thanks for your e-mail and kind words. Everyone couldn't say enough about you guys, seriously.....we all had a blast! We were looking over the video tape and it totally shows that everyone was really enjoying themselves. Speaking of the video, I asked my cousin to film throughout the night, and unfortunately he stopped taping just as you guys were starting your final sign-off song (The End) which would have been a perfect way to fade out the video since it was a perfect way to end the night. Any chance you have a recording of yourselves doing that song? I just thought it would be cool to end the video with you guys mastering harmony like you do. If not, no biggie. So what's the plans for your next gig in the Albany area? You going to be at Vapor again? Thanks again for such a great job at our reception (and your audio skills for the ceremony too!). You guys are great musicians, wonderful people and a really fun band! Take care, Elise and Jessica, Oct. 12, 2008, Birch Hill Catering, Schodack, NY Bill's Toupee~ Thank you so much for playing at our wedding at Locust Grove. You all did an amazing job! We were very impressed and so were all of our guests! You got everyone up and dancing- including my husband who I had never seen dance before :-) And we greatly appreciate you all staying an additional hour for us. Thank you again for the wonderful entertainment and fun atmosphere you all created at our wedding. We will never forget it! --Michelle & Ryan Weber, Sept. 28, 2008, Locust Grove, Poughkeepsie, NY PS. Let us know if you are ever playing in Hawaii-we will be there!! We truly enjoyed your music, personalities, and special care you took to make sure everyone enjoyed themselves. River Stone Manor loved you guys, they were truly impressed as were all the guests. Two things we worried about the most was the entertainment and food, and people couldn't stop raving about both. Thanks for making our wedding stand out from the rest! Thanks again, -- Erica and Brendan Casey, Oct. 18, 2008 River Stone Manor,Glenville, NY Dear Mike & the Gang, We just wanted to say how wonderful it was having you at our wedding! All of our guests said it was the most fun wedding they had ever been to! We really appreciated how you got everybody up, dancing, and having a fantastic time. We went to a number of other weddings this summer and none of them were as much fun as our wedding. Desaree did a fabulous job MC'ing and all of your wit and joviality really spiced up the night! More than anything else, I wanted to have a wedding that all of my friends and family would enjoy. You certainly took care of that! I almost didn't want to leave! Thank you so much for everything; I am definitely recommending you to everybody I know! Thanks for the great memories, -- Brita & Dave Vitello, The Powelton Club, Newburgh May 10, 2008 Mike & Band - I can't tell you how glad we are that you came to our wedding. I heard from all of our guest how great you all sounded all night and the days following the wedding. They were really impressed. I don't think I've ever even been to a wedding when everyone finished the night cheering "one more song!!!" We had such a wonderful night and we appreciate how much you all did for us. Thank you Bills Toupee! -- Jessica & Anthony Macchiarola 10/10/08 St. Clement's Castle, Portland, CT Mike, Beth and I would like to thank you and the rest of the band for a wonderful day. We thought you were absolutely fantastic and heard the same from many of our guests at the wedding. If I know of anyone looking for a band in the future, I would not hesitate to recommend Bill's Toupee. Thanks again for helping to make our day special. -- Rob and Beth, Mohonk Mountain House, Aug. 16, 2008 Mike, Again we just wanted to thank you and the band for doing such a wonderful job Saturday night. You guys rocked the house. Everyone was so impressed and had a blast. Everyone I have talked to is sore from dancing so much. You made a lot of new fans that evening. If you get a chance if you could please mail be the CD’s you made I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks for being a part of our special day and for throwing down such a bad ass dance party. Tell everyone in the band thanks and you guy’s rock. You read the crowd like a book and hit the nail on the head with song selections and timing. Thanks. -- John Dalmata, groom, Sept. 13, 2008, The Saratoga Hilton, Saratoga Springs, NY "Hey Mike, We had an amazing time, and we really loved Bill's Toupee. Hopefully you guys can play for us again as we plan on recommending you to our friends in the area. Also, thanks for your help creating the right music. It was perfect. -- Jeff (the groom), Onteora Mountain House, Onteora, NY August 9, 2008 Mike, and all of Bill's Toupee: You all are awesome! We both greatly appreciated the wonderful performance that you guys put on for our wedding on Sunday; the music was incredible, and we kept hearing over and over again how great a time everyone was having dancing to the tunes. We are both very happy to have had you be a part of our very special occasion, and we thank you for the helping make the night lively and fun for all. "In My Life" sounded incredible (sweet harpsichord solo!), and you all even learned to play "What a Wonderful World"! We would certainly recommend you to anyone else we know that if they are getting married in the NY area, and I'm sure the word will spread from all of the guests, as well. We could not have asked for a better band for our wedding, so thanks again so very much for the great evening! -- Ryan & Erin, July 20, 2008, Hall of Springs, Saratoga Springs, NY Mike - I just wanted to thank you for Saturday night - everyone and I mean everyone raved about your music - even the photographer who said he is at a different wedding every week - but never heard such great music before... My night was amazing - so thank you xoxoxox -- Chrissy Pappas, July 19, 2008, Greentree Country Club, New Rochelle dear everyone at bill's toupee, thank you for the fabulous music at our wedding! it was full of good times. we are so glad that we found you guys. wishing you all the best. with gratitude and hugs, -- erica and jared silverman, point-o-pines, brant lake, ny 9/27/07 Dear Bill's Toupee Band, Thank you so much for your amazing performance at our wedding! You guys were outstanding. All of our guests could not stop raving about what a great time they had dancing to the band. We cannot thank you enough for helping make our big day such a huge success! Special thanks to Mike for doing our cocktail hour on very short notice. -- Chris & Chrissy McCracken, 10/6/07, Silo Ridge, Amenia People are still talking about you guys! You guys helped make the night magical and most importantly, fun! I loved that last song! (Bon Jovi's 'Living on a Prayer') -- Erica & Jared, Sept. 28, 2007, Point-O-Pines, Brant Lake, NY Mike, Thank you again for putting on a great show. A lot of our friends said it was one of the best weddings they had ever been to... and the most common reason was how awesome your band was. Thanks again... you guys totally rocked it. I have to say... after getting pulled up on stage for the finale (Bon Jovi's 'Livin' on a Prayer'). I can see the kind of rush you guys must get for performing.... too bad I don't have any musical singing talent =) -- Mark, October 13, 2007, Villa Borghese, Wappingers Falls, NY Mike, Thank you for playing at our wedding! We had a blast and everyone loved you guys. They are still talking about how much fun they had and how you guys played all the right stuff. Thanks, -- Stacy and Josh, Villa Borghese, Sept. 18, 2007 Hi Mike, I just wanted you to know how wonderful your band was at our wedding. Everyone raved about you and the music you played during the evening. Everything ran so smoothly and we want to thank you for that. If you ever need a recommendation please feel free to give our name. We would sing your praises and recommend you highly. Once again, thank you for making our evening very special. -- Edley and George, Round Hill House, Washingtonville, NY 9/14/07 Hi Bill... you guys did an amazing job!!! We have gotten a ton of compliments from everyone that was there saying how much they LOVED the band- you did a GREAT job and we so appreciate it. please pass on our thanks to the rest of the band. kind regards, Margaret, Troy Country Club, August 11, 2007 Mike, Sorry for the late response, we have been really busy getting things in order after the honeymoon. We wanted to thank you for putting on such a wonderful performance at our wedding. Our wedding turned out even better than we imagined and it certainly wouldn't have happened without the tremendous effort from you and the other band members. I can't stress how pleased Sarah and I were with the band. As you noted below, our families loved you as well. I've heard many comments about how great the band was and "best wedding band ever". I wouldn't be surprised if we saw you at another wedding one day. I hope all is well and you and the band have a wonderful rest of the summer. We will be sure to give you a stellar recommendation on theknot.com. Regards, -- Mike & Sarah, Inn at Erlowest, Lake George June 23, 2007 We both wanted to thank you for your incredible effort at our wedding. Everything was done absolutely perfect. We also have received numerous compliments on the music selected. We could not be happier with the job you guys did from playing the piano outside to the final song of the reception. We are headed off to Hawaii tomorrow and will be enjoying a cruise of the islands. We will be in touch once we arrive back in NY. Thanks again to you and the rest of the band. -- Joe Caverly, Gardens on Catlin Creek, June 3, 2007 We came and saw your band perform and absolutely loved you! We were so disappointed when we found out you weren't available for our wedding date. After hearing other bands, Danielle refuses to settle for anyone else and we ended up with a DJ. We were so psyched when we heard you were now available and can't wait for you to perform at our wedding! Thank you!! -- Michael Simpson-Pisano, October 20. 2007 Mike, Just checking mail before we head off to sunny CA for our honeymoon. Thank YOU and the entire band for providing a really amazing event. Tons of people commented on the talent in the band, and we had a better time than we could ever have imagined - thank you for your part in making our wedding our DREAM wedding. We'll be in touch after the honeymoon, thanks so much! -- Lisa M. Krug, Wolfert's Roost, Albany, NY Nov. 3, 2006 Mike! Just back from Greece. We had a fantastic time! Anyway, thank you so much for making our reception incredibly fun! We have received rave reviews for the wedding and for Bill's Toupee Band. I have a feeling you could be getting some phone calls from some of our engaged friends. If you ever need a reference, feel free to give out my email. You guys were everything we hoped for and more. Adam and I will definitely have to head up north to catch a performance and relive the wedding night! Thanks so much!! -- Sandy & Adam, Sept. 30, 2006 Apple Barn Farm, Hudson, NY Thanks Mike! We loved you guys. I was so happy and pleased with everything. We received many compliments on your performance! I certainly hope that you guys got a good laugh at some of my antics :) Once again, thank you very much. -- Natalie & Jarrod Angstadt, 10/7/06 Patriot Hill, Stony Point, NY Mike, Thank you for making our wedding day so memorable. Starr and I had the best time. I know everyone enjoyed themselves. Hopefully we will see you again sometime. Take care, -- Chris, 8/19/06, McLoone's Pier House, Long Branch, NJ thanks!!!!! we had a blast and are so happy you came down to long island to celebrate with us! everyone truly enjoyed your entertainment. thank you again and we will hopefully see you at future events!! -- Tara & Eric, 7/22/06, Westbury Manor, Westbury, Long Island Hey Mike, I cannot even begin to express what an amazing job you guys did. We KNEW you guys were the right band for us and we couldn't have been more right! ... People have been raving about the wedding to us since we've been back and specifically telling us how much fun they had and that's in no small part due to you guys. I promise to get on the website and write something wonderful in the commentary section soon. In the meantime, I have 10 pictures of you guys from our photographer...well 9 specifically of you guys, and one good one with you all in the background of a full dance floor (which was usually the case all night). Thanks again... and definitely keep in touch. -- Chip, July 8, 2006, private farm in Ghent, NY Mike- Thank you, thank you, thanks to ALL of you!.... the band made our wedding the fabulous event that it truly was. Everyone... and I mean, EVERYONE complemented the band... and most of these people are musicians themselves, (which should mean something!) lol! We had an amazing time dancing and enjoying the superior talent that your band has to offer. I can't wait to watch the video so we can hear every song again! You were FABULOUS... thank you SO much... we will continue to recommend you to everyone we know... and to come out and see your performances whenever we can! Love, -- Brett & Anthony Lando, Glen Island Harbour Club, June 26, 2006 Mike, Thanks again for playing at our wedding-- everyone had an amazing time! We have heard so many compliments on you guys--- thanks for making it such a great party! Also, your version of "God Only Knows" was fantastic! I know you had some reservations about it, but it was just perfect. Thanks again! -- Stephanie, Mountainville Manor, Mountainville, NY (May 27, 2006) Dear Mike, I'm sure you and the band never tire of hearing how great you are, so I thought I'd send you a note to thank you for the amazing performance you gave at our wedding at the Round Hill House on September 16, 2005. Everyone had a terrific time thanks to you. The song selection was great. The vocals were fabulous. The music was wonderful. I could go on and on. Before the wedding night we hadn't heard you in person. We were going off of recommendations from Vivian Lanzarone and the reviews on theknot.com as well as the MP3's on your web site. I have to say that though we'd heard you were good, we weren't prepared for how good. We were blown away by how great you all are in person. Mike, you were truly a pleasure to work with and I really appreciate everything that you did. I think the best part of the night was that you even managed to get my mostly wheelchair bound, 75 year old grandmother with Parkinson's Disease, up and dancing. I haven't seen her that excited or mobile in a while! She said that she just couldn't resist the music and she was going to do whatever she could to get up and dance! Thank you again for helping to make our party a great one. We had the greatest time and I hope to be able to hear you play again soon. I'm certainly recommending you to everyone I know! Please thank Desaree, Dave, Jack and Barry for us and let them know how terrific we and all of our guests thought they were. Sincerely, Stephanie (Masiello) Molinelli Hello Mike, Thanks for the great performance at the wedding. You guys were definitely what Kim and I envisioned as part of our wedding - and more. Everyone thought you guys were awesome. People are still talking about "the band." Kim and I will check your schedule and try to catch you guys over the winter. Looking forward to seeing you play again. Take care. - Not that you need them, but feel free to use Kim and I as a reference. -- Tim, Full Moon Resort, Oliveria, NY Sept. 17, 2005 Mike, Thank you guys all so much for everything. You guys were an amazing band and we have heard nothing buy rave reviews from all of the guests about how great you guys were. We will definitely recommend you all if anyone is looking for a band. Thanks again. -- Krista and Dave, Sept. 3, 2005 at Fort William Henry, Lake George, NY Hey Mike, Thanks for everything! It was perfect! Everyone absolutely LOVED you all and had a great time! I'll be sure to recommend you every chance i get (yep, I'm a knottie... and that is how i found you guys)... And I'll especially recommend you to anyone who might be inviting me to their wedding because Ben and I are dying to be guests at a wedding where Bills Toupee is playing (so we can enjoy it at a pace slightly slower than the warp speed induced by being the "bride and groom"). I made a deal with my little cousin who caught the bouquet that I would throw it in her direction if she promises to have her wedding at Catlin Creek and book Bills Toupee... She agreed but she is only 10 years old so I hope the band continues for at least another 8 years! Thanks again!! -- Keri, August 28, 2005, Gardens on Catlin Creek, Slate Hill, NY    [more feedback from Keri] Mike, Desaree, and the rest of Bill's Toupee, Although you've probably heard it a million times, we cannot thank you enough for making our wedding reception a memorable event! You all sounded so amazing and we can't get over how the dance floor was packed for the entire night! You received many compliments and you are all such professionals. There was absolutely NOTHING that you could've done to make it any better because you are the BEST. We truly mean that. We'll see you again next July at Todd's brother's wedding, they've already booked you! Again, our heartfelt thanks for a job well done. You make a lot of people happy with what you do! Love, -- Lisa & Todd Andrews, July 16, 2005, Nicole's, Highland Falls, NY Mike, ...I can't even thank you enough for the wonderful time we had at the wedding- all night long, constant dancing and fun! From dinner on, I did not sit down once- the music was absolutely amazing! Our friends and family had such a great time, too. Everyone was dancing, young and old. The dance floor was always packed. You were right, I did not have to worry about a thing. Even when I didn't have music picked out for the introductions and the cake cutting, you guys did a great job filling in. We have had so many wonderful compliments, too. One of our friends told us that she wished she didn't have a deposit on a band for her wedding Oct.15- she really loved Bill's Toupee! Our friends can't wait to see you guys again- I was online looking at your schedule and we want to get a group together for the Hudson River Cruise on Aug.5. I wonder if there is still availability. I will check that out now! I really can't thank you enough- I am so glad we chose you to play at our wedding. What a wonderful time! Thank you so much again- and see you soon! -- Vinnie and Michelle, Silo Ridge, Amenia. July 2, 2005 Hi Mike - Bill's Toupee was a hit at my wedding! All of our guests were saying that you were the best band they'd ever heard at a wedding. I can't thank you enough for your amazing talent and energy. For Jeff and I, music makes or breaks an event. Your band absolutely made our wedding! I'm telling all my friends to book you guys as soon as they get engaged! Sincerely, -- Sasha Piastro-Tedford, Poughkeepsie Grand Hotel (June 24, 2005) Mike! Back from the honeymoon!!! Let me please say: NO, THANK YOU!!!!!!!! Don't thank us, you guys were AMAZING!!!!! I'd recommend you to ANYONE I know. Mike and I were saying on the honeymoon how we wanna throw a random party just so we can have you guys there to play!!! But really, with all my heart, to all of you, thank you so very much for making the reception as fun as it was, it's all in the music. You all just contributed to the perfect day that it was and I'll never forget that, ever. In fact, I can't wait to watch the video just to see it all over again and hear you guys all over again! And just an FYI- Of all 200+ people that were there, NOBODY could stop talking about you guys. You just blew everybody away. Thanks again, Hope to see you soon! -- Dana... Berini!!!, Beckwith Pointe, New Rochelle, NY (May 21, 2005) Hi Mike! We loved having you play our wedding; you guys are so relaxed and fun, and you just have such a natural connection with each other. You seem like you're having a blast up there, making it so obvious that you love what you do. I think that's what makes the difference; the fun is contagious and spreads to the wedding guests! And of course I can't tell you how many of our guests were complimenting you and the band! We will DEFINITELY recommend your band to friends in the future! We also look forward to catching you again in the Newburgh area next chance we get. Would you let me know when you are booked in the area again? Thanks again, and if you ever want to talk music again, feel free to write! -- Dante Mancini, Round Hill House, Washingtonville, NY (May 27, 2005) Well, thank YOU! :) We heard nothing but raves about you guys. "What wonderful taste you have in music!" "They are WONDERFUL!" "I kept forgetting we were listening to a live band and not the original album! They were so on target with their sound!" and on and on and on.... :) So pat yourselves on the back, you did a marvelous job! Mike- from me to you- Thank you. You fulfilled your promise of a wonderful reception experience. You know what you are doing. :) And you helped make our dream of a live band a reality. You and your band members were well worth the investment. Thank you. P.S.- Tell Desaree, if she doesn't already know it, everyone is going to love her! :) -- Rachel Kelso :), Ramada Inn, Newburgh April 30, 2005 (the 1pm wedding) Everyone LOVED you guys! Your new singer is GREAT! My parents loved you too. A good time was had by all. You were right-that was a great idea to share the parent dances as one song. If anybody needs a band, you're the one I recommend. Thanks again. -- Laura Moore, Christo's, Poughkeepsie April 30, 2005 (the 7pm wedding) Dear Mike, You guys are amazing!! Everyone had such a wonderful time and all the guests commented on your wonderful skills and energy! Not having heard your band live before Dave and I were nervous about what we were getting. We were afraid of the "average" wedding band. However after speaking with you on the phone, and most importantly hearing you play we were thrilled!! Several times we said to each other days after that you guys were amazing! Thank you so much for turning our dreams for our guests to truly enjoy themselves into a reality! I would almost do everything all over again just to have you play one more time!!! Thanks again! -- Stephanie, Saratoga National Golf Club, October 9, 2004 Mike, Thank you so much for the wonderful job you and Bill's Toupee did for our wedding. Matthew and I had our every dream come true for our wedding weekend and can't thank you enough for contributing to that. Everyone had a great time and we keep the dancing feet on the floor all throughout the day/evening. We had a wonderful honeymoon at Mohonk and are now back in Ithaca for school. Again, thank you so much for you professionalism and energy. It was much appreciated. Many thanks, -- Natalie and Matthew, Mohonk Mountain House, October 17, 2004 Dear Bill's Toupee, We want to take the opportunity to thank you for the wonderful time we had at our wedding. We keep hearing about "how wonderful our band was" or that "that band was the best band we have heard" or "I was surprised how great your band was". I will be honest, guys, I was skeptical about having a band at the wedding of my girlhood dreams, a wedding I have been planning all my life in my mind, but you guys have totally blown my mind. I was so happy to have you play for us. You had the music going and everyone dancing. Our wedding was wonderful and you guys made it awesome. We were so pleased with your performance and so glad that you were a part of our special day! Thanks so much for a great time and please feel free to have anyone call us for a recommendation. Always looking forward to seeing your future performances! -- Richie and Sonia Williams, Kingston, NY Marreiros/Williams Wedding Hudson Valley Resort and Spa Kerhonksen, NY June 5, 2004 Dear Bill's Toupee, Over the past month we have received dozens of letters remarking on the wonderful band at our wedding - you truly made our big event a blast!!! It was a dream come true. You really read the crowd and situation perfectly!!! It was nonstop dancing; we were amazed, and of course thrilled!!! We will absolutely recommend you to all of our friends and family. We sincerely thank you!!! FYI - personal favorites: JET, Journey & Outkast! Fondly, Matt & Liz Curtis, Hudson Valley Resort, Kerhonkson Mike, Everybody LOOOVED the band! Thank you for making the perfect wedding a perfect party! Beth & Mike, Interlaken Inn, CT Hi Mike! We had an INCREDIBLE time at our wedding-- thank you! You guys were phenomenal, and I can't even tell you how many people complimented on what a great band we had. We truly appreciate the time that you spent coming up to Massachusetts to play. We knew that you were going to have a great time , but you guys made it even better. If there is anything that you would ever like me to do-- any recommendations for future weddings or a more formal thank you for the Web site, please let me know, and we will be happy to send one along! I'm not sure his first name, but whoever sang our wedding song, True Companion, did it better than if Marc Cohen was there live!! With much appreciation, Erica and Little Earl Cronan The Log Cabin, Holyoke, MA Dear Bill's Toupee, Sorry it's taken so long for us to write, we've been waiting for the dust to settle since the wedding. We wanted to make sure we not only gave our feedback, but had an opportunity to talk to our guests and get their reactions. They were as follows: If anyone is truly torn between getting a band or a DJ, the obvious answer...band. Aside from how amazing Bill's Toupee was, most of our guest's first reactions were how refreshing it was to be at a wedding with a band. Bill's Toupee was great! We have gotten more compliments on them, than any other part of our wedding. Everyone loved them! The nicest part for my husband and me was that we felt so secure in our decision with the band, we didn't have to worry at all. They played a large variety of music, that suited our guests ages 8-80! Mike made himself more than available to answer all of our questions ahead of time, and gave us advice on multiple areas of the wedding. The band is punctual, reliable, trustworthy, and talented. Mike also did a phenomenal job playing the music for our ceremony, and cocktail hour. Bill's Toupee is definitely a very talented group of musicians, who are not only good at what they do, but also care about each individual event. The band even let my husband get up and play the drums with them! Thank you for doing such a wonderful job, and creating such fun memories. We would be more than happy to speak with anyone looking for a reference. Thanks again. -- Chris and Cassie, Wallkill Golf Club, Middletown, NY Dear Mike, We can't believe that we've been married for almost a week now!  Our wedding day couldn't have been more perfect and Bill's Toupee definitely played a big role in making it extraordinary. You guys sounded spectacular and our guests loved you. Thanks so much for playing our requests and learning our first dance song. Also, it meant so much to have my friend sing "Piece of My Heart." Thank you for allowing her to take the stage. It was so much fun! I look forward to seeing you guys performing again. Take care and see you soon. With Regards, -- Annie & Chris Juliano, Silo Ridge, Amenia, NY Dear Mike, Thanks for doing a great gig as always. Bill's Toupee was the capper of our perfect day, The band really energized our reception and everybody danced, including the grooms father who hasn't danced in 20 years! This is the second time we have booked this band in our family and would be happy to recommend this group to anyone. The music set was great for our young crowd. This band cares about your wedding reception and is very professional to deal with both before, during, and after the event. Look no further, book Bill's Toupee. -- Scott and Barbarann(Page) Earle, Dolce Tarrytown House, Tarrytown, NY Thank you so much for making our day so special. We can't believe how many people you got out on the dance floor. You provided the exact experience we were looking for...and it meant so much that you learned "Come Away with Me" for us. Linda did an incredible job with it...it felt like the real thing. And everyone--young and old--is still talking about the "band." Thank you! Best, -- Jenna Stanley and Randy Dueck, Round Hill House, Washingtonville, NY Dear Mike, Dave, Linda, Jack and Barry, We just returned from our honeymoon and we'd like you to know that your incredible performance at our wedding was a frequent topic of conversation during our trip. Your professionalism, flexibility and talent made our wedding better than we could have imagined and we sincerely thank you for making the night such a success. It's so difficult to find a reasonably priced band you can trust, let alone one that is so entertaining (believe me, we looked!). You guys really have it all! Please feel free to give our home number to anyone who may request a reference; it would be our pleasure to tell people about the crucial part you played in our wonderful wedding. Thank you and best wishes, Julie and Nir, Giando's, Williamsburg- Brooklyn, NY Dear Mike, Dave, Linda, Jack and Barry,        Just a note to thank you for a wonderful wedding. It's always been my feeling that the band makes the party and you all proved me right. Everyone just had such a great time and kept asking me where I found "the band". When I told them I found you on the Internet they couldn't believe me. Thanks, also to Dave who did a fantastic job on Toby Keith's "I want to Talk About Me" - Toby couldn't have done it better and the crowd really got a kick out of it and Richard enjoyed it immensely.        If anyone asks me to recommend a band - you guys are the only ones on my list.        Thanks again, -- Cheryle Clark and Richard too! Fay/Clark Wedding 5/25/02 To all members of The Bill's Toupee Band, We wanted to send a sincere thank you for helping to make our wedding complete! When we were in the crazy stage of planning our wedding I asked Mike, "Should I provide you a list of songs we want to hear?" Mike replied, "Don't worry, we've been doing this for years and we know how to work the crowd." OH BOY...was he right. As you all saw we have quite the "dancers" amongst our family and friends. There was not a moment when the dance floor cleared. It made our night to look around and see everyone smiling and having a blast. So many of our guests told us how wonderful it was to see the bride and groom having so much fun at their own wedding. The reason was we were dancing almost ALL night. How could we not!!! The highlight, however, was dancing to our song that we dreamed of dancing together to. You performed Garth Brooks, To Make You Feel My Love, so amazing. We loved the touch of making it our final song as well to dance along with our guests. We will always be grateful for your patience throughout our planning and your superb performance. P.S. As Scott said at the end of the night, "You guys were *@111*$ awesome!" -- Lori and Scott Brown, Reception at Colonial Terrace, Cortland Manor Dear Bill's Toupee, We just received our video and realized that we never thanked you for your unbelievable peformance at our wedding. We can't tell you enough how pleased we were!!! We can honestly say that close to 100 people have commented on how good you guys were! Anyway, if you ever need a reference name, definitely use our name. Thanks again for making our wedding even more special!! -- Jackie and Marc Koslowsky Ever since I was a little girl I have dreamed of the 'perfect' wedding. Bill's Toupee helped make that dream a reality. The selection of music was outstanding and our friends and family of all ages were out on the dance floor. We got numerous compliments on Bill's Toupee. My only regret was that I had to spend a lot of time meeting and greeting people and didn't get much time to dance! I got to dance to our wedding song, 'When I Look Into Your Eyes', which Bill's Toupee did an absolutely amazing rendition of. Obviously I couldn't be happier with our choice of Bill's Toupee for our wedding day. -- Lynn & Doug Ferris, Sheraton Civic Center, Poughkeepsie, NY 1) Great sense of humor! 2) Really enjoyed planning our wedding with an experienced band that took care of everything! 3) Very versatile and incredibly willing to accommodate any of our special requests! 4) Overall, I think everyone had a great time and it was largely attributed to the interaction with The Bill's Toupee Band. -- Michael & Denise Collins, Le Chambord, Fishkill, NY Throughout the entire wedding planning process, the band was the one thing we didn't have to worry about. The Bill's Toupee Band was the most professional entity with which we worked and their performance matched their professionalism. From age 5 to 85, the guests at the wedding not only enjoyed the music, but couldn't wait to dance! Without any reservation, we would recommend The Bill's Toupee Band to anyone who asked. -- Shannon & Matt Birney, Gardens on Catlin Creek, Slate Hill, NY The Bill's Toupee Band is by far the best band I've ever heard at a wedding. They were extremely professional. The dance floor was full all night. Thank you so much for the incredible job you did at our reception. Mike-the email you sent me before the wedding made me feel so calm and confident that I did not have to worry about a thing. I really appreciate that. We would recommend you to anyone for any event. Thank you again. -- Kristin & Samer Diab, Island Green Country Club, Amenia, NY The first band I heard and the only band I heard in planning my wedding. I can't say enough thank-you's for making our day the best ever. Everyone is inquiring about who this fantastic band was!! I will recommend them to anyone having a wedding, especially if we are invited. Thanks for everything. -- Jason & Tracey Arrick, The Sheraton Hotel, Poughkeepsie, NY Heather and I want to commend you on what a great job you did at our wedding. So many people have said to us, and we agree, that your band was the best one that they had ever seen or heard at a wedding. One employee at the Gideon Putnam said to us that it was the best wedding band he had heard in fifteen years! Many thanks for helping to make our wedding reception everything we dreamed about. -- Mark & Heather Rubeo, The Gideon Putnam, Saratoga Springs, NY I (Renee) really wanted a DJ.(at first) You guys got EVERYONE up dancing. People were laughing about how sore their feet and legs were from dancing all night! You guys are fantastic! -- Kurt & Renee Neils, The Glenmere, Chester Derrick and I fell in love with Bill's Toupee long before our wedding. And we knew our guests would love them too! The dance floor was always full. To this day our family and friends still ask us: 'Where's Bill's Toupee playing this weekend?' Thanks for making our day more than memorable. -- Kristal & Derrick Johnson, Hotel Thayer, West Point, NY Everybody loved the band! You were personal and well rounded, adapting to even the most precarious situation. . . .an excellent mix of music for all age groups. We appreciate all the hands on work you did. -- Shiri & Joe Drillings, Eagle's Nest, Bloomingburg, NY You made our wedding the event of the year! You guys are terrific! Our guests could not say enough. . .they tell everyone we see about the band. You know, you're always a little nervous about how your `special song' will sound when performed by anyone but the original artist. We couldn't have been happier with our song than if Bryan Adams sung it himself! Bill's Toupee is outstanding! We would highly recommend you for any event. You are simply the best! Thanks again!! -- Janet (Jowdy) & Bob Hudak, The Sagamore, Bolton Landing Honestly the best band you will find. We had so much fun at our wedding. We can't wait to plan another party just to have them play again! -- Jennifer & Paul Stanford, Glens Falls Country Club A very professional and talented band. Willing to accommodate you and your personal requests and needs. Excellent Elvis tunes! The lead female vocalist can really rock the house! An absolute pleasure to work with you. Thank you for a great performance at our wedding reception. -- Angelique Levi, Dutchess Manor, Beacon, NY We partied at our wedding because of Bill's Toupee! The band is the most important part to make a party fun and we choose the right one! Your female vocalist was I-N-C-R-E-D-I-B-L-E! Everyone in the band was so nice! Overall I thought the band was superb! Good mix of music and all of it played very well. There were many complimentary comments from our guests. We really could not have been happier with Bill's Toupee. Very Professional but fun too. -- Amanda & Kevin Ryan, The Sagamore, Bolton Landing, NY You were great! ...excellent mix of music! -- Debbie and Ken Carlson, Canfield Casino, Saratoga Springs, NY Fantastic Group! Very Broad range of Musical skills and innate talent. I highly recommend The Bill's Toupee Band for any type of event. -- Jon & Marnie Gizzi, Belvedere Mansion, Rhinebeck, NY Mike, The band was great! I was very impressed with the large range of music you were able to play. I think that you appealed to all ages at our wedding. You were also very professional in dealing with some of the groomsman who were getting a little out of hand. The entire wedding, parents, guests, Spencer and I loved you guys! -- Michelle & Spencer Newman, Saratoga Golf and Polo Club Dear Mike and Bill's Toupee, Thank you again for the wonderful performance on our wedding day. We were so pleased with how everything turned out and a lot of it was due to you and the band's interactive and outstanding music!! Take care and all the best. -- Nicole & Matt Ehrie, The Sagamore, Bolton Landing, NY You were the best. All of our guests are still raving about how wonderful you were. We can't wait to see you again soon. When are you in Orange County? -- Sam & Debbie Lashlee, Holiday Inn, Fishkill, NY Without a doubt your performance enhanced the atmosphere and mood of the wedding. I don't think it would have been the same with any other band. We are still receiving calls from people telling us about the band! Please be assured we will recommend Bill's Toupee to all of our friends and relatives. Thank you again for sharing our night and making it a success. -- Anthony J. Ruggiero, Wallkill Golf Club, Wallkill, NY Thank you for the wonderful job you and your band did at our wedding. We got so many compliments as to how good you were. Your style and versatility got a lot of our guests dancing! Thank you for adding to the joy of our wedding. -- Julie Kleiman Mirshad, Round Hill House, Washingtonville, NY I keep getting compliments on how tasteful the wedding was, and especially how everyone loved the band. I think that you guys really added a lot of value to the night! Friends of mine said that if their eyes were closed they would have thought it was Kansas playing during Carry On My Wayward Son. I especially liked Dixie Chicken (the last song & probably the only one I heard that night)! Luckily someone videotaped most of the reception, and I got to hear (& see) you guys in action. Excellent! Also, please thank Linda for the Emcee work she did (and lovely vocals). She had everyone's name down pat & added a lot of flavor to the night. Please see the attached snapshot, there were plenty of the band, but the cake mustaches were too much for me to pass over. -- Cynthia & Glenn Salberg, Mountainville Manor, Mountainville, NY Thanks for making our wedding such a wonderful event! Your music and sense of humor kept everyone laughing, dancing, and having a great time! We will recommend you to all our family and friends! Thanks-We had a blast! -- Amy and Andrew Yauchler, Christo's Catering, Poughkeepsie, NY We were just talking with some family members who came to our wedding. They couldn't say enough about Bills Toupee. They were very impressed. Everyone who we spoke with that attended our wedding, said that the band really made the reception a fun and enjoyable night. Christina and I can't say enough about Bills Toupee. Not only are all of you very talented musicians, but you are great performers. Your stage presence and interactions with the guests made it one truly magical night. I have told so many people about your band and they all want to come out and see you when you play at certain clubs and restaurants. You definitely have created more followers of Bills Toupee. Thanks again for making our reception so special. -- Bryan & Christina Cranna, January 2002 A belated thank you for the fantastic job your band did at our November 17 (2001) wedding. We received raves from our guests and the volume was just right. Our first song, 'At Last,' sounded beautiful and was perfect. Thank you again! -- Fondly, Fred and Julie Greene Bill's Toupee was absolutely entertaining! Thank you so much for keeping the party alive and kickin'! We have guests that were talking about you weeks after the wedding. They were very impressed and commented that you sounded very professional. Of course, we took all the credit for picking the band! ;) Thanks again! -- Jack & Niki Terceno 13 April 2002 Wedding, Interlaken Inn, Lakeville, CT Mike, I am happy to offer these words of appreciation: We (and all our guests) were so impressed with the great performance at our wedding! You and the band were GREAT high energy, professional, flexible, and all around fun. A special thank you for letting my cousin sing with you, and for hanging out afterwards to jam with my brother. You helped to make our wedding a great success! -- Best, Stacie and Jim, Seven Hills Inn, Lennox, MA Mike, We just wanted to thank you and the rest of Bill's Toupee for helping to make our wedding day awesome! You guys were great! Music can really make or break a wedding, and I saw people dancing at this wedding who I have never seen on the dance floor before. This was the second wedding that our family has used Bill's Toupee, and we were extremely happy with our choices! What was especially great was that the music selection you guys picked was great for the all the generations of people we had as our guests. Thanks again for helping to make our wedding so memorable! Sincerely, -- J.T. and Aimee Nichols, Candlewood Inn, Candlewood Lake, CT Hi Mike, I would like to thank all of YOU for making the wedding so much fun for everyone. We think that two of the most important factors that contribute to a wonderful and fun reception are great food and great music. We knew we had those two things in Christo's and Bill's Toupee. You are a fantastic band, and all of our guests raved about you. We look forward to hearing you play out again as well. Amy (Christo's Catering, Poughkeepsie, NY) Dear Mike and the cast of Bill's Toupee, Words can't describe how wonderful our wedding reception was. I am constantly getting compliments on how great your band was. It is so refreshing to have a talented, well rehearsed, and very open minded band play in place of the numerous "wedding factory" bands out there. To my amazement, you guys out did yourselves with our wedding song, " I love you more than yesterday" by Spiral Staircase, an oldie but a goodie! One of the many highlights of the evening was when you invited me onstage to jam, "Purple Haze" by Jimi Hendrix. My friends and family were truly blown away! The Bear Mountain Inn was magical and Bill's Toupee put the icing, cherries and sprinkles on a fabulous night! What a splendid job. -- Scott and Michele Krempler, Lake Carmel New York To all in the Bills Toupee Band, Thanks for making our day musical. You guys were able to get young and old out on the dance floor. Seeing my grandparents swing dance and my flower girl hug Linda were only two of the highlights of the night. We saw people dancing, that we haven't seen dance in years. Everyone is still talking about how great you guys sounded. You went out of your way to make our day perfect, and you succeeded. For that we thank you. I would highly recommend your band for any occasion. You guys really made the night magical! Thanks again, David and Sharon Froedden, September 28, 2003, Links at Unionvale Dear Mike and Bill's Toupee, Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! We had the most amazing time and received so many compliments on the band--we even got a few "best wedding I've ever been to" from friends! You guys were amazing and really made the evening seamless! My friends are now getting engaged by the dozen and I will be sure to give your name to any and all of them! We hope you had as much fun as we did. I am sure I will see you sometime soon when you're doing a show and I am in the area! All the best, -- Ally and Matt Ramsey, Antun's of Westchester Dear Bill's Toupee- I just wanted to thank all of you for a most wonderful musical evening-I can't even begin to tell you how many people came up to ask who you were, how we found you, and of course, "What's up with the name?" You really helped make our wedding reception a total hit, which, given the diversity of the crowd, was no mean feat! I'm looking forward to the next time! I have to throw a bash so I can give you a call again. Special thanks to Linda for a great job as hostess and emcee, and the especially beautiful rendition of our 1st dance song. Take care and hope to hear you again soon!" -- Katie & Ray, West Park Winery Hello Mike. Maryann and I want to THANK YOU so much for an incredible evening! The band was GREAT and everyone I've talked to had a fabulous time enjoying and dancing to all of the wonderful sounds. You should be very proud of your band, you guys and gals are very, very good! Top musicians all around! Please thank them all for Maryann and I. I also wanted to send a special thank you for working so well with Frank! You guys coordinated things so well, under clumsy circumstances, I couldn't have asked for more. PERFECT! So thanks again for everything and I hope we'll see you soon. Keep us up to date on where you guys are playing. Best regards, -- John and Maryann, Dutchess Golf & Country Club, Poughkeepsie, NY To Mike, Barry Linda, Jack, and Dave, Our heart felt thanks for being there for our wedding ... you continue to raise the bar in talent, variety, character, and professionalism.

You guys were really terrific and everyone I spoke to loved the band! I wish the party could have lasted longer. Everyone was having such a great time dancing.
