Testimonials

Band:  Amaretto--A
Fabulous.  We almost needed a bigger room for dancing!  Our room was bursting at the seams because these guys had the floor packed all night.  They sounded fantastic and knew how to keep the energy up.  They played us one mean hora--I have honestly never had so much fun and gotten so sweaty during a hora.  Everywhere I looked people (many of whom had never done a hora) were sweaty and dancing, too with huge breathless grins.  Amaretto was fun with the crowd too-at one point the trumpet and trombone player started to travel around the reception hall and dance with guests while playing their instruments.  So fun!!  We got so many compliments on the band and would definitely hire them again in a heartbeat.  Very highly recommend.
 
David,
Just wanted to say a quick thank you for the amazing job you and your musicians did at our wedding. We had absolutely the best time in much part due to the great music that had everybody dancing and raving about you all.  Thank you also for all your hard work in helping with the preparation, answering a million questions and never saying no to any request. My favorite part was the beautiful music at the ceremony-"The Blower's Daughter" was so moving and exactly what I had envisioned on my wedding day.  The piano playing with Amy was perfect.  Please, please do not hesitate to use us as a reference for any future couples to contact us.  Thank you again for everything!!! It was the greatest night of our lives.

I cannot begin to tell you how very grateful we are and will always be for the amazing performance you and your band gave us in Severna Park two weeks ago! You all made the party happen and made it happen with flare, pefection, style and grace! The music, the feel, from start to finish could not have been better -- you all exceeded my expectations! Thank you thank you thank you! I only wish I could continue to sell your band to brides all over the DC area! We will always remember that perfect wedding day, with 75 degree sunny blue skies, in a beautiful place, with wonderful people and a truly great band carrying us along!
Incredibly grateful,

Hello David,
I just wanted to let you know how extremely pleased I was with you and your band's performance at my recent wedding at Congressional Country Club.   As I mentioned when I first booked with you, I saw Amaretto play at a wedding a few yeas ago. I left that wedding saying, " I want this band to play at my wedding when I get married." My dream came true and I saw during the reception, what I had always dreamed of ....my family, my best friends, and my husband, dancing the night away and having a great time. The best thing is, I was able to join everyone on the dance floor to enjoy the night I had been waiting for all my life.
 
You and your crew are just amazing. Your talent to gear music toward the crowd and play what made people dance was unbelievable. Thank you for allowing me to trust you with that task!  I have heard so many people talk about how touched they were when you played, "America."  It truly was special for that song to be sung, as there were so many people in the room who are or were in the Military, and who serve and protect for the United States of America. It brought a lot of subtle patriotism to the event. Thank you!  Last but not least you all blew my expectations away with your version of U2's, "All I Want Is You," and the song "Landslide." The 2 most important songs were the 2 best.  David, thank you again. Your band's performance touched my heart and made those who thought live music wasn't necessary....to THINK AGAIN!
 
Best to you all,  Chrissy
 
David,
 
I don't even know if you are receiving emails at this address anymore, 2 years after my wedding, however I wanted to drop you a line.  I was reminiscing and looking through emails leading up to that big day and ran across this one to you.
 
I wanted to tell you that even now, 2 years later, I still have people tell me that my wedding was the most fun wedding they have ever been to.  My parents and in-laws could not agree more-- it was simply smashing.  Thank you so much--you and your crew really did set the tone for the evening and I had so many people comment on your talent.
 
Thank you for making my wedding day more fun and memorable than I could have imagined!!
 
Truly,
Hannah
