I have 2 sisters and we have all agreed they are booking you guys for their weddings (when the days come, haha)!!! My father is your #1 fan though…I think he may want you to come and play for all family gatherings from now on, even small family barbeques!

Thanks again!!!

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,

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,

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!

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 :-)

-- Jessica & Anthony Macchiarola, October 10, 2008, St. Clement's Castle, Portland, CT

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

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!

-- Erica and Brendan Casey, Oct. 18, 2008 River Stone Manor,Glenville, NY

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,

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!

Thanks again... and definitely keep in touch.
-- Chip, July 8, 2006, private farm in Ghent, NY

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

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)

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.

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, and if you ever want to talk music again, feel free to write!

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! :)

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

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

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!

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!

The morning after the wedding there was a brunch for family and friends and some of the comments were how the band perfectly controlled the tempo throughout the evening, what a great job the band did keeping the music true to the origional songs, and how everyone enjoyed the variety of music for all ages. Eammon has a big family, lots of potential weddings and I know Melissa will highly recommend you.

Thank's to all the band members for a memorable evening.

Just wanted to write and say thank you for the wonderful job you did at my son's wedding. You and the rest of your terrific band exceeded our expectations. The choice of music, the beautiful voices and great musicians kept the party going and added to everyone's enjoyment. People have not stopped telling us how much they enjoyed your band and I know I will not hesitate to book you again for our others sons wedding once he gets engaged. Hope you enjoyed the venue.

Thanks Again.

If you ever need help in anyway...you call Bob and Mary Boylan, we would be there in a flash! You gave our daughter the best wedding ever! She loved her night!!!! It was because of Bill's Toupee...not because of the "Coconut Shrimp" either!

Her friends RAVED!!! Our friends RAVED!!! My in laws RAVED (and they can't stand me)...that right there is a miracle!

God Bless you all! Bob and Mary

-- Mary Boylan, mother of the bride, August 13, 2011, Catlin Gardens, Slate Hill, NY

Your band did a wonderful job playing at the wedding.
The music selections were a great balance for the group at the reception.
You have a top notch group of musicians and the vocals by Desaree were outstanding.
Betty, Geoff (my son) and I enjoyed a great reception with you playing throughout the evening.
The people at the reception provided us with many compliments on the band and how good you were as a group.
I hope you will get additional opportunities in the region from this engagement. You can be sure that we will recommend you to any one looking for a band. Thanks for making the evening so enjoyable.

Everything was perfect. Everyone that I have talked to since the wedding tell me what a fantastic time they had. They all want to know were we found "Bills Toupee" .

Jason and Jamie were so happy with everything. I am certain that Jamie's parents were pleased as well.

We could not have rocked the house without a rocking band.

I hope you were able to make some connections for further engagements. I think Jeff and James will recommend "Bills Toupee" for other events they have in the future.

Thank you again for being everything Mike & I told Jason & Jamie you were.

You and your group made the wedding and the party atmosphere.  You're good at what you do and it shows by your performance and the smiles on your faces. All of your vocals are great and especially that beautiful and talented Desaree. Our guests and especially Katie and John were so happy with your selection of songs, volume, and getting both young and old up on the dance floor. That takes a pro to do.

Thank the band for allowing my family to use their equipment and perform at their own wedding. How wonderful!  

Hope to see you and your group during the summer,  I will check the website for your calendar.

Shalom, Ciao for now,
John (father of the groom), Interlaken Inn, Lakeville, CT June 20, 2009

Jason and Annie's wedding was perfect .... the day, the ceremony, the venue and particularly the music. Every member of our family and all of friends commented how much they enjoyed the band. You had the guest up and dancing throughout the evening. You guys are great. Thank you for helping make the wedding reception incredible.

To Mike Mindel and the Bill's Toupee Band -
I have to tell you that your performance at our kids' reception this past weekend was simply outstanding! Your musicianship, showmanship and energy really made their special day even more so. Thanks so much on behalf of the Flowers and Weber families and all of our friends who were there -- every single person I talked to just raved about you guys! I also want to thank you for extending for an extra set, even though I understand that some of you were under the weather (we couldn't tell!). Special thanks to Desaree for her extra care in handling the wedding party intro's, and to my fellow Tower of Power lover Mike for being so easy to work with!

Mike Weber (Ryan's Dad)

I now believe what I've been told. The first thing you do before booking a church is book Bill's Toupee for the reception. Great music surrounded our daughters' wedding last week and I just wanted to thank you all.

We've received many calls from attendees complementing us on the wedding and the choice of band. Great party..........

-- Jim Santimaw, father of the bride, The Garrison, 8/2/08

Desaree is wonderful. Her interpersonal skills make her such an asset. She set the pace of the reception and moved us smoothly from introductions, first dance, toasts, through all the events to last dance!

We had so much fun on the last dance, Sweet Caroline. You even slowed the tempo of the chorus so that the gang on the dance floor could sing along (in their own fashion of grunts and hoots)! Everyone was having so much fun, and that says a lot because during the entire reception the dancing group ranged from 12 years of age to 80 plus years!

Doing business with you has been a real pleasure. I appreciate I did not have to do any "hand holding" either before or during the reception. You always knew what was needed and never bothered me with the details! The experience and professionalism of Desaree and The Bill's Toupee Band made my role as mother of the bride so much easier. I was free to enjoy the party!

Thank you so much.

Thanks again!!!
-- Sue Pietropaoli, Nov. 11, 2006 Wolfert's Roost, Albany

What a party. You guys are fantastic ! I've heard a lot of bands and played in a few but you guys take the cake. The musicianship, the vocals, the sound and volume levels were perfect. The energy you exude surpasses any band I've ever seen. I had several friends there, who are musicians, and they all said the same thing. In addition, your professionalism and graciousness at handling our many and sometimes uncommon requests was greatly appreciated. I occasionally get asked to recommend bands for weddings and other events. You are on the top of the list. Jessica and Joey were extremely happy.

Best Regards,

P.S. As I talk to family and friends who were at the wedding, they tell me it's the best wedding they have ever been too! And your band had a whole lot to do with that. See ya!

-- Richie, father of the bride, Beckwith Pointe, New Rochelle, May 21, 2005

And we do - and so do all our friends & family!

Very best regards to you and all of the Bill's Toupee members, and best wishes for 2005.

As the parents of the bride, we had the time of our lives as did Jill and Greg and their wedding guests. Thanks once again for a truly memorable evening that passed all too quickly.

Sincerely,
George and Beverly Thompson

It's 4 days following the wedding and we're still getting calls from friends and family about the band and the music selection! What fun we all had! It was great to look around and see so many people on the dance floor...as well as to see the band smiling! We've been to so many events where the band almost looks bored...but you looked like you were having a good time too! Thanks also for your wonderful piano playing during the cocktail hour...it might have been raining outside but it was cozy and relaxed in the winery. Lou (Fiori-owner of West Park Winery) and Kathy were right...you guys are the best!

The evening climaxed in a rousing dancefest for the younger wedding attendees with the band's infectious enthusiasm spilling over on to the dance floor.

We got nothing but praise for the band from the guests with even the wedding planner at the Inn At Mystic going out of her way to comment on how good they were.

This band handles it all with class, skill and enthusiasm -

As the father of the groom, and a respected professional musician, my reputation was on the line in recommending Bill's Toupee for the job. They did not fail, and in fact surpassed all expectations.
