Nikki and Eric Johnson's Wedding
May 9, 2009

Hi Todd,

We just wanted to take a minute to express our gratitude for your outstanding services. Your enthusiasm, professionalism, and commitment was evident from the very beginning. Planning a wedding can be a very stressful time, especially the last month. I felt so comfortable knowing that you were always there to answer any questions and were always so quick to respond. The quality service you provided us with is far beyond what I expected and I deeply appreciate it. It is obvious that you take pride in what you do, and it shows. The Guitarist, Videographer, and DJ/MC were all so wonderful and we received so many compliments from our guests. Thank you for helping to make our wedding day so perfect. We will definetly be recommending you to family and friends.

Dear Todd,
Thank you again for your wonderful dance performances these past couple of months.  For starters, you and Kelly really made the party happen for our birthday client!  She couldn’t have been happier with your ballroom/swing dance performance and instruction.  You gave her exactly what she wanted – a dance party!  Thanks for making me a star planner for recommending that she have you there.  Certainly a win-win all the way around.
Secondly, I must also thank you for your fabulous showcase at the ISES event.  Your band was wonderful, upbeat and delivered great music.  The dance routines that you and Kelly demoed were energetic and fun; you certainly got everyone in the mood.  We thank you for your support and for showcasing and for making the evening such a success.
Looking forward to working with you again, and to making many more happy parties!

Hi Todd,

Just got back this morning from our honeymoon on Maui and Kauai....awwwe!!!!
Todd, the wedding was PERFECT!  It was a real pleasure meeting You.  The TN Band and Bill your photographer were Incredible!!!  Thank you so much for ALL of your assistance. You really helped everything go smoothly, and we really, really appreciate it!
We have received so many compliments!!!   My parents have told me that they
have received numerous calls and emails stating how wonderful, elegant and fun the wedding was.  The band was ROCKIN"....everybody loved them!  And, Bill, he did a Fantastic job, and we really appreciate his patience and extra care!!!  He made sure he got all of the important shots, plus he through in his personal creative twist..
We were all very impressed with all of your services.  Nancy at Verandas even came up to me during the evening to let me know how great she thought you were.

Hi Todd,
 
I wanted to let you know how much we all enjoyed your band Bob's yer Uncle.  What pros.  They were so NOT the typical wedding band.  Throughout the reception people came up to me and asked "where did you find them?" 
First off, they should up on time.  Two of them did cocktail music.  Later when the full band was assembled they read the crowd very well.  Dinner music with a little kick and then slowly built as people got up to dance.  I was glad we had worked out a time line before because when the band announced stuff like "father daughter dance." "or cutting the cake"  I was across the room and in the moment.  It would have all passed without them.  But they never inserted themselves into the party.  No goofy comments.
 
The musicians were top notch and the singers!  The guy sounded just like Barry White in one song.  The gal was perfect.  And they played a nice range of music which was important to me.  Motown, swing, etc.
 
Just as you suggested when I saw that we had 30 more minutes in us.  I went to the side of the stage and quickly told George.  Who yelled to the band  "30 minutes more" .  Which was the perfect amount of time.
 
All of the band members were polite, gracious and enthusiastic.  And I was not the only one who noticed that.  Many of my guests said so.
 
As I told you before Todd, you have been a pleasure to work with.  Very professional and helpful. 
 
Thank you so Much!

Katie Wiseley-Palmer
We absolutely loved the band and your services.  Bobby's Latin Band was better than I expected and I appreciated your help throughout the night.  Thank you so much for everything and making my wedding a complete success.

Hey Todd:
Thanks for the congrats sentiments.   Bill and his assistant did an awesome job at our wedding....we couldn't have asked for anything better.  We zipped through the pre and post-ceremony shots and got to our cocktail party, which was important to us.  I think Bill was able to get some really good photos too despite the windy weather!  He even got my husband's bitterly divorced parents to take a photo together....quite an accomplishment considering they don't speak!  Thanks for all of your help in making our day great with the planning, timeline and your services.

Karen Kettering- Surprise party for her husband Todd!
I was literally just sitting down to emaill you! Thank you , Thank you! The band was great and MADE the party! They stopped playing when I got the call he was approaching. He came in the backyard, we yelled "Surprise!", and for a moment he was speechless. Then as he tried to thank everyone for coming, he got all choked up so I cued the band to start playing (he didn't even know they were here at that point) and he looked up with a huge smile on his face like "where's this beautiful music coming from?" He just loved it.
Everyone commented on how good they were, they sounded just like the band on the cruise they went on, etc, etc,! So thank you , thank you. They were very professional and everyone danced!
Many thanks again from a very happy customer!

Hi Todd,

You were super easy and extremely helpful to work with in my wedding planning. Harriet's String group were wonderful. The ceremony music was perfect. And Bob's Yer Uncle was just awesome! The crowd didn't stop dancing the entire night! From the wedding party and friends to all the parents, I got nothing but rave reviews on the band and told they were the most fun they've heard at any wedding. I knew they would be great, but they exceeded even my own expectations. I've never seen my dad dance like that! It was just awesome. Thanks again for everything.

Jessica Baumann (Dixon-Hughs Company)

Chris Toomey - President for Catholic Charities Organization and Other Local Benefit Events "Todd's Live Music Bands are great. I've used them since 2001 with events of 200-250 guests that I chaired and been a guest another time at a party of 250 where I found them on the Millineum New Years Eve Party. I'd give 'em an "A" on all the points including Todd doing an excellent job planning the event & scheduling., etc. His bands really get the room rocking! They play a great variety of dinner music to upbeat dance stuff. He also does a great job interacting and making sure everyone is having a great time while coordinating onsite. He has also enhanced our events by performing/instructing Ballroom and Swing Dancing with a partner in that past which was fabulous."

Teri Ghaemmaghami -Regional Marketing Manager (MORRISON & FOERSTER LLP Lawfirm) "I was concerned about using a new DJ for my law firm's holiday party. I had just taken over responsibility for it and needed to ensure that the first one I did was a great success. I decided to hire two dance couples to do an exhibit during dinner (alla Dancing with the Stars) and then provide dance lessons, a dance contest and use a DJ. I also wanted dance lessons leading up to the party. Todd was extremely dependable.
And, the dance couples, one of which was Todd, did a great job. Todd was responsive when handling the pre-party dance lessons and was just great at the actual "show." I also got many compliments on his DJ, who also did a great job. He took requests before the party and that evening so everyone was happy!"

Bianca Calhoun- Special Events Coordinator for the 22nd Santa Barbara International Film Festival - "I had the privilege of hiring Todd Elliot and his Entertainment/Event Planning Company to perform for our Opening Night Gala 2007.
The Film Festival hosts 11 days of films and 11 days of events which is kicked off by our grand Opening Night Gala, welcoming guests to the Festival and getting them in the party mood! Todd Eliot did a fabulous job of persistently coordinating arrangements for the evening with me and I was eagerly impressed with what a wonderful band he brought. The energy of the night was kept upbeat and in constant dance mode thanks to his talented services and Live Music The 2007 Opening Night Gala was a successful way to kick off what turned out to be an amazing Festival and I am pleased that Todd Elliot and his band were there to kick everybody in high gear!"
