What other wedding event professionals say...
"Without a doubt, Holycow! Music Productions is the finest wedding and function entertainment source I have had the pleasure to work with... They are true professionals of whom I always look forward to enjoying their performance. To find a talented band of this quality that also provides exceptional DJ services at our events can not be duplicated by others."

"As the Wedding Event Planner for six years at the Wolfeboro Inn, the Holycows! were always my favorite! I knew that weddings would be great fun when the Holycows were around- whether the duo, DJ service, or the whole gang, our wedding clients always received an energetic show!"
Lucy Van Cleve General Manager, Wolfeboro Inn |
“I highly recommend the Holycows, they are the best! Jeff Lines is my first recommendation to brides and grooms for entertainment. They are reliable, extremely professional and a real ‘class act’! I never have to worry when they are planning at one of my events!”
Jennifer Tower General Manager/Common Man Inn Also a wedding client |
"Music for my wedding was a very important decision. I wanted fun, flexible, yet a professional band that would compliment our day - not take it over. We found it all in the Holycows! They let us select our music, offered suggestions, and made the day run smoothly. Our guests still tell us it was the best wedding they have ever been to.
As a Wedding and Event Planner, I recommend the Holycows to all my clients. They take pride in what they do and I know that I can always count on them." Donah Brookes Wachsmuth Wachsmuth Wedding Events Also a wedding client |
"It's always a pleasure to hear when our wedding couples have booked the Holycows! for their entertainment. I know that they will receive the utmost professionalism and a great show. In addition to their musical talents, they are masters at coordinating the events of the day. From the 7 piece band to their DJ service, they are a real class act. Truly one of the Lakes Region's best!"
Michelle Daignault Former Wedding Function Coordinator Inn at Mills Falls |
"Able to adapt to any audience with their varied musical styles, the Holycows are a real crowd pleaser for everyone, ages seven to seventy. Highly professional, flexible, fun and energetic, these guys always ROCK the house! We have found at our resort there is no better band, acoustic duo, trio, or DJ service to fit all of our needs. Our guests request to have them back again and again."
Jennifer Morris Member Service Manager Waterville Estates Resort |
"When we were planning our wedding we felt that the band would be the most important decision we made, because the enjoyment of our guests hinged mainly on the quality of the entertainment. We checked out bands from all around the state and were pleasantly surprised that our favorite by far was from right here in the Lakes Region, the Holycows.
We used the duo for our cocktail hour, piano during dinner and the full band/DJ after dinner. The dance floor quickly filled and our guests loved them! They also learned our wedding song on short notice which was a nice touch. The Holycows have since played my brother's wedding and my in-laws 25th Anniversary party. My brothers and I own the Homestead and Fratello's Restaurants. Our Manchester location features a function facility that hosts a wedding every weekend. We fervently recommend the HolyCows to any clients seeking a live band or DJ for their wedding." Chris McDonough Owner / Event Manager Fratello's and Homestead Restaurants Also a wedding client |
"Hi Jeff- I wanted to take a moment to thank you so much for the many years of fine entertainment that you have provided to our company, J.Jill. We have always enjoyed your DJ services but I particularly enjoyed your solo guitar performance this year at our annual Associate Awards Dinner. You are quite talented and your presence certainly contributed to the overall mood of our successful event.
I can’t imagine organizing a corporate event without including you in our plans! I look forward to you entertaining us again next year! Take care and thanks again for making our events so enjoyable year after year!" Nicole Murray Manager of Human Resources J.Jill Co. |
"Thanks so much for performing for our staff holiday party last night. I guess you could tell, we all had a great time! Within the next 10 days you will be receiving a check for the additional hour that we sprung on you. Thank you for your flexibility!
Both myself and the sales office feel very fortunate to have Holycow! Productions to recommend to our clients. Thanks for all you do, happy Holidays Jeff!" Gail M. Batstone General Manager Church Landing Resort /Inns at Mill Falls |
A "few" of our wedding clients were kind enough to share their thoughts with others- we thank you...
"Jeff,
I'm really sorry we never called or emailed after the wedding. I've never been away from work that long (it felt great), and we are really busy. Weak excuse, but you know how the business is, everyone needs something immediately.
Anyway, the only way I can put it is YOU GUYS F****** ROCKED! You blew us away, honestly. After the initial meeting and from everything Amy told us, we honestly never had a doubt that the band would be good. But holy shit were you guys awesome. I've seen a lot of bands in my career, and music is music - but the energy that your band, and you in particular, brought to the party is truly amazing. I had so much fun with you, not only the night of - but through the entire planning process. You are a true gentleman, and a professional. We were very lucky to find you.
Several times throughout the night I just had to look over at you and watch you. You love your job. Everyone in the room could tell that you were "on it" that night and it was your mission to make everyone have a good time. I don't know if you remember or not, and maybe I'm just making shit up, but a few times you and I seemed to catch eyes and we just knew "this is awesome." Not to sound sappy or anything, but I'll always remember that. It was like we just both knew it was a special night, and we were going to have the best times of our lives this night. At least it felt that way for me.
All of our guests were talking about the band and how awesome you were, including my friend Mike Notaro, who is nothing short of a musical genius. I knew people would dance, but I thought the view might provide some competition. And to get my guy friends on the dance floor is pretty hard to do. Not to mention, that you will NEVER, EVER see me on stage singing with a band either. I'm having dinner with my friend Kevin McKinney tonight. He was the other guy on stage with me singing Sweet Home Chicago. I'm getting pumped just writing this email, bringing back good memories. I'm sure you will be a topic of conversation tonight.
If there is ANYTHING we can ever do for you, please let us know. I don't know if you are like that with every gig - but you made us feel very special. It was almost like a best friend up there performing his ass off for us-thanks Jeff. We will absolutely look you up next time we are in the area, and if you are ever in Chicago - we owe you a few million beers. Thanks buddy."

Scott Baker

"Dear Jeff, Thank you for being our DJ for our daughter Claire’s and her partner Jamie’s wedding reception on July 2011 at The Common Man Inn. My wife and I, Jamie’s parents, together with brides want to tell you what a huge success it was, much of it due to you! Your high level of professionalism, excellent choice in music, smooth coordination with the staff at the Common Man not only facilitated a “great time by all” but made the event easy for the brides, the parents and no doubt the Inn’s staff. If I ever have need for your services again, I would not hesitate for a second to call you and book your involvement! Many thanks!"

Thank you SO MUCH for providing our ceremony and reception music! Everyone had a great time and DJ Jody was awesome- it is obvious she has done many weddings before.

Thank you so much for making our wedding so fantastic! You guys were amazing and I can't even begin to explain all of the compliments your band received that night. Everyone had so much fun... I don't think we could have envisioned a more packed dance floor or a better set of songs than the ones you played. Cindy got some great pictures of the band. You should check them out on Facebook. You can see them all under the Cindy Harter Photography page. My friends also got some great dancing pictures that I'd be happy to email you. Be in touch soon and thank you again!!!"

"Jeff was our wedding DJ. Jeff had me at "if you want a DJ to play games you should call someone else" but my now husband saw the price tag and wanted us to keep looking. After interviewing a laundry list of DJs who could have doubled as used car salesmen, we went with Jeff and never looked back. He kept our dance floor literally PACKED all night with all ages and types of guests.
If you just want your friends to dance at the wedding, you can get someone cheaper, but for everyone to involved, I couldn't recommend Jeff more. His price is higher, but there is a reason Holycow! Music was just voted one of the best in NH."

"Hi Jeff,
I apologize for the delayed email response. Just wanted to say how much fun we had at the wedding. The band was a huge hit- and everyone was partying like a rockstar!! Everyone had an amazing time. The cocktail hour was fabulous- with the jazz; the little bit we did get to enjoy was awesome. I also appreciate you playing a longer set than normal to accommodate the crazy dance crowd. Everyone really did have an amazing time. The bands excitement and enthusiasm for what they do really shows! I certainly would recommend the band to anyone planning a wedding in the Lakes Region!
Thanks again for everything," -Gina

"Jeff
What can I say but thank you, thank you, thank you... you and your fellow band members exceeded our expectations. We knew you were a fantastic band but the ceremony music, cocktail jazz trio on top of your reception music was unbelievable. I can't tell you how many of our guests came up to us commenting on how great you guys were. And yes as you have often mentioned to me we will "rock your wedding" and your guests will be exhausted from all the dancing. You were right!
Please pass on our warmest appreciation to your fellow band members and anytime you need a reference just let me know. You never know we may meet up again as I have two more daughters to be married ( I hope they give us some time to recoup).
Enjoy the upcoming summer months." -Sean

"Jeff,
Things have finally settled down for us and I wanted to send you a note to thank you for EVERYTHING. It was such a pleasure to work with you. You made it so easy from beginning to end. After our first initial discussion, I knew that I had nothing to worry about and you would take care of it all. My guests are still raving about how amazing the music was, how interactive you were as a DJ and how much they danced. Dave's brother even said "I have never ever danced like that, what fun!" I think the best bonus you gave us, was hanging out at the after party! Everyone enjoyed your music, you are extremely talented and so fun to be around.
Thank you again for everything, and we hope to see you at another wedding soon!

I wanted to thank you for doing such a great job at our 100th year celebration 8-29-15. I thought your music selection was perfect. There were so many, myself included, that barely left the dance floor, I think that speaks volumes! I have received numerous emails thanking us for such a great night, but that wouldn’t have been possible without you.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!"

Thank you, thank you, thank you for all of your help with our wedding. Our day was clearly a great success because of you. Everyone loved the invitation and the Jazz Trio and DJ made the party.

"Jeff,
We have had so much feedback about that reception. Our friends have said it was a very relaxing but extremely fun night. We set the ambiance, but Jody made it all work. Friends of the groom--from NY--had been to a few weddings that summer most of which were traditional sit down meals, really dressy atmosphere, and DJs etc. But they said ours was the best one they had been to in a long time. They did mention in that how much they loved the music and the DJ.
Jeff I truly appreciated your patience, your help, and your willingness to make this a night that we wanted. I know it's your business but you really made us feel like we were as important as the DJ. (I know that's good business that's not always how it works.) I was nervous about not having you for the DJ because I loved your enthusiasm, but I must say that I wasn't in any way disappointed by Jody. Even though she hadn't done any prep with us, she was a comfortable fit. We tried hard to make her feel comfortable and we hope she enjoyed the night and working with us as much as we enjoyed working with her. I hope sometime in the near future we need a DJ as you would be the one I would call. I have recommended you to others and will continue to do so.
Although I didn't mention the rest of the crew, rest assured they were happy and pleased too! Thanks again for Holycow's part in making the night my daughter said was 'exactly what she wanted for a reception'.

"Hi Jeff –
Where to begin! Planning a wedding from out of state at a private home was sometimes a challenge – but you were so easy to work with and we had fun with the online music picking tool.
Thank you so much for an amazing wedding – so many guests commented on the great acoustic music you sang during the cocktail hour (I’m bummed we missed it). At the reception, the dance floor was packed all night! The range of music you played allowed every age group and music taste to enjoy the party – even my 87 year old grandmother was dancing! And thanks for being flexible with my niece’s music for her Irish Step Dancing routine. It was a big hit also. Thanks again!"

Dear Jeff,"Clint and I wanted to thank you and the band for making our wedding reception such an amazingly fun party. After hiring you sight and sound unseen based on our friend Traci's recommendation, I still wasn't quite sure what to expect. However, it was an absolute pleasure working with you.
You were extremely professional at all times, ready with suggestions if we wanted them, and listened with enthusiasm to what we wanted to do that day. Clint and I so appreciated your willingness to travel to Cape Cod for our wedding. I received so many compliments on the music that the band played. Our guests were amazed at the variety of music you were able to play, from the jazz quintet and acoustic guitar during the cocktail hour, to the pianist during dinner and then the full band which had everyone up and dancing on the dance floor and even the tables!
When Clint and I look back at our wedding video we are so happy to see how much fun everyone (including the band) is having during the dancing. Clint and I felt that the band's style and energy struck exactly the note we were looking for in our wedding reception. We would recommend you with the highest praises to anyone looking for a band to make their party a fun-filled and exciting event. Thank you again for making our wedding day such a special time."

You even sold Eleni and Wade for their wedding next summer!!! They would like your band to play at their reception- the ceremony music too, all in one location (probably Lake Tarleton in Warren).

You are the talk of the town. Everybody had such a GREAT time at Alexa and Stewart's wedding! I just can't thank you enough for making everything PERFECT!!!

The ability to choose all our songs online was FANTASTIC, especially for brides who change their minds a lot... I couldn't believe Jeff found the song I needed for the Mother-Son dance, it was ancient - no dust on this digital DJ!
On the big day at the Church Landing, our DJ showed up excited and well prepared. She was personable, professional and the whole event went off without a hitch (Except ours!). What an amazing experience, thank you Holycow! DJ's!"

I just wanted to let you know that Andy and I were thrilled with you guys at our wedding. We received so many comments on how fabulous you were and you were a pleasure to work with beforehand as well. Before the wedding, it was such a relief to feel like there was at least one part of the wedding that we didn't have to worry about turning out well! (Leaving me with more time to obsess over the possibility of bad weather!) And we really appreciate that you learned our song on such short notice.
I will certainly be on the lookout for any good pictures/video for you, and we would be happy to give you a reference of any kind!

"Dear Jeff,
Now that the excitement of our recent wedding celebration in Wolfeboro, NH has subsided, we can take a moment to properly thank you. The days immediately preceding the wedding tend to be stressful, as the bride and groom contemplate not only their imminent exchange of vows, but also the degree of dependence placed upon the church, the reception hall, and the musicians. When the wedding day finally arrives, so does the realization that the trust placed in the minister, the chef, and the band leader is essential, because their performance contributes mightily to the success of the day’s event.
We are still having fun reflecting upon the events of Oct 9, because the church ceremony was beautiful, the dinner was timely and tasty, and the musical entertainment insured that the dance floor was never vacant! The Holycow Band performed flawlessly. Diane and I were extremely impressed that your lead female singer (Jody)persevered despite suffering from the flu. That type of dedication epitomized the professionalism displayed by the band. Thank you for acting as emcee, and thanks to the entire group for a fabulous performance."

Your kindness, effort and musical talent absolutely made our evening the most special event of our lives- we can't thank you enough for all of your advice and wedding expertise. You had our friends dancing all night... we actually thought a few would pass out at the rate they were going. We both feel so relieved we spent the extra with our budget to get an experienced DJ like yourself- and your solo acoustic guitar/vocals during our cocktail hour will be treasured from our video. Honestly, you promised us a special day and you went above and beyond... we couldn't be more pleased with your performance and services."

From our initial phone call to the day of our wedding, you were extremely professional, very helpful, well organized, and most importantly, a lot of fun. Since you came highly recommended from the Wolfeboro Inn, we knew that we would not be let down.
We have been to many weddings to know a good DJ from an average DJ; you definitely qualified as an excellent DJ. You did everything that you promised us and more, especially since you provided the music for the ceremony. We are still getting rave reviews from our guests. Our wedding day was absolutely perfect!"

"Dear Jeff, everyone at our wedding at the Inn came up to us to say what an amazing "party" it was... and it was the music choices, of course, to start with... they couldn't believe how great it was and wanted to know who "she" was :). I told Shelly that night how amazing it was, and how much I appreciated her the whole evening. I actually felt like I had a friend there with me... not a girl I had just met. I also gave your company name.
You had assured me that I would be really happy with Shelly, and you were so right... of course, the equipment was obviously outstanding, the selections perfect, and everyone up on the dance floor all night... truly fabulous. But Shelly, herself, was such an addition to the evening... her attitude is all about "you"... and it was so obvious to me how much she wanted Jimmy and I to be happy with everything she did. But also, when she played the Marine Hymn for Jimmy's buddies, and everyone stood up!!... and then right afterwards, she went over and gave them her personal "thank you" for all they had done... one word sums up Shelly, HolyCow Productions, and the whole event: CLASS !! Thank you so much! You can use our name and phone number for recommendations anytime you want forever!!!

"Hi Jeff!!!
We had a terrific time at the wedding. Your band was incredible and everyone had such a great time. People still comment on how great the "band" was. Did you ever see the dance floor empty??? Us either!!! You told us that would happen!!! Your amazing energy was contagious. The ONLY time I was sad that day was when the party was going to end in 30 minutes. I am so glad you were able to stay and play longer. The party WAS NOT ready to end so early. I know you guys were there late, but we really appreciated you staying longer. From the announcement of the wedding party till the final song (when you serenaded the 2 of us till we fell over), you were terrific. Thanks for making our wedding such a memorable event."

"Hi Jeff,
This is Phyllis Dina, your band just played for my Daughter's Wedding at the Mt. Washington Hotel, I just want to say what an awesome job you did, you helped make the wedding the success it was. People are still raving about the band and how great they were. You made people who never dance get up on that dance floor and have so much fun.... I just wanted to thank you again very much. I cannot wait to get our video so I can relive it all again!

"Hey Jeff!
I want to thank you for all of your help with our reception. The party was by far the BEST reception we could have dreamed of. We had about 130 people and the coordinator, Jeff Woodward, said that of the 60 receptions he has done this summer, this was by far his favorite. DJ Jody was AMAZING and so much fun to work with. She had that dance floor packed until 1 AM and I mean packed!
Thanks again Jeff for everything, I'll talk to you soon!"

"Hey Jeff,Thanks for writing to check in, it is good to hear from you! Married life is going well, we finally moved into our new apartment this month so things are moving right along!
The wedding was so much fun... it went by all too fast as I am sure you hear from every single bride and groom! Our friends and family loved the music you guys provided, it was complemented on many occasions. I loved that you came for the whole time, from cocktails to finish. You really did get everyone up off their seats to boogie at some point! We even had one friend of the family say that you even got HIM up to dance -he never dances. I thought the introductions were great, thank you for practicing to ensure that you had everyone's name pronounced correctly, and the lead off dances went really smoothly.
We just got the pictures and are still waiting for the video, but if I see good ones for you to use as promotion I will definitely send them along!! I would definitely recommend the Holycows to anyone who asks - please use us as a reference!"

"Hi Jeff, Doug and I just got back from the honeymoon last night. Had a fabulous time - just about as fabulous as the wedding. You guys were the best! I got loads of praise for you guys from the guests. Just the fact that people were on the dance floor constantly from the first song to the last shows just how great you all were.
By the way, I saw your performance drew in a small group of onlookers, one of whom decided to come try and talk to you as you were singing. My sister said to me she didn't know how you could keep holding your note with that woman screaming in your ear. We had a couple of other crashers as well who tried to get some drinks from the bar, so I will mention to the Chase house that they might want to devise a better system for keeping non-guests out. But I did want to say you did a great job dealing with that!
Again, thanks for making it an amazing wedding!!! Feel free to use me as a reference for prospective clients."

Jeff and all-
I want to thank you for your contributions to Liz and Chris's wedding last weekend! From the ceremony, the reception and dancing into the evening - it was great! The band made it look like such fun, that our lawyer daughter was commenting that she thinks it would be a blast to be part of the group!
Please pass our thanks on to all in the group - it was great fun having you there.

"Jeff,
We wanted to thank you again for an incredible job the night of our wedding. The band was absolutely everything we had hoped for and more. We were very impressed not only with the incredible sound of your music but the flawless hard work behind the scenes to make it all happen. All our guests have commented how much they enjoyed the Holycows' music. We will highly recommend your band to anyone who is looking for a talented and highly professional band. Let us know if you are planning on playing out anywhere and we will bring a crowd with us."

"Hi Jeff,
The wedding was a blast!!!! Your DJ Jody and the dance music were outstanding and the guitar player for cocktails was the perfect touch. Holycow! Music came highly recommended and you lived up to your reputation. You guys exceeded our expectations.
Jeff, we can not thank you enough for helping make our reception what it was supposed to be. I only wish we knew more people who needed a DJ. Thank you again for all of your help. Take care-"

Jeff,"Your services were professional and excellent, from the time we first spoke to the last note. We had the fortune of having great vendors all around, and especially you guys. Thank you again for learning our song for the first dance, not many bands would do that.
It really was amazing to see everyone dancing... Our justice of the Peace and his wife were out there to the end, and so was our grandmother and all our friends. They are all still talking about it now. I can't remember one time, even when the band was not playing, that the dance floor wasn't full.
I was really impressed with how well you made our wedding feel unique, down to playing "Burning down the house" when the fire alarm went off... it even made the fire alarm fun! You guys were a key part into making our reception an unforgettable party. Thank you again for making our day unforgettable."

"Hi Jeff,
Seeley and I wanted to send out a slighted belated, but HUGE thank you for our Aug. 13th wedding. You guys were awesome and definitely exceeded my expectations!!
You were the first vendor we booked after picking a date based on Seeley's rave reviews (from Jenn and Whitney Thayer's NH wedding the summer before) and you guys just made the whole night. The band has amazing energy. The dance floor was packed all night and everyone had a blast. I danced quite a bit and kept thinking to myself “this has got to be the last song before they take a break" but you kept on and on. I think there were 2 very short breaks, including 1 for dinner which was pretty incredible (and unexpected). Also, thanks for letting Seeley take stage. He had a blast playing and is still talking about the music...
We'll send along any good pictures that we get, but we won't see them for at least a month. In the meantime, I'd love to serve as a reference for you guys at any point should you ever need one.
Finally, thanks a million for making the trip to Mass for us. We didn't check out any other bands, but from what I heard, you guys are a great value. Hmm... perhaps you should raise your rates? :)
Anyway, thanks again and I'll be in touch with pictures. Best, Andrea
PS - One other thing I just remembered. Thanks for taking the time to make sure you got our introduction right. I'd asked for both of our names to be mentioned and it was great of you to remember!"
Andrea Murphy

"Dear Jeff,
It hardly seems possible that almost five months have passed since Cari and Judd's wedding on October 28 at the Inns and Spa at Mills Falls. I do apologize for the delay in sending this note.
The wedding celebration was a huge success due in large part to the exceptional performance by you and the Holycow! band! Our guests had a great time on the dance floor and did not want the evening to end. There were so many favorable comments about the entire function, and we were so pleased with the results.
We interviewed only one band and did not feel the need to look any farther. You certainly did not disappoint us Jeff!!"
Sincerely yours,
Debra A. MacGregor

"Hi Jeff,

Jeff,"I wish I could remember all the wonderful compliments from our guests about your performance. You were so professional and the sound was perfect! The stand-up bass will be etched in my mind forever... so classy! The solo piano music during dinner was also such a nice touch.
I definitely feel that you guys made the whole reception. We are both pleased with the decision that we made to hire your band. Thanks for making our special day so memorable!"

"Hi Jeff!
Married life is treating us well. :) Winter is hot and rainy as we live in Florida! We also have had to face the challenge of Hurricane Wilma. So... lots of things to do after all that.
We both were very pleased with all aspects of Holycow! Productions. From the beginning to the end, nothing was ever an inconvenience and no time was ever the wrong time for contacting you with our plans. You also got the version of our wedding song we wanted. That in itself shows how much you care about your clients as if they were part of your family.
Thank you for having a good time as well. We truly are blessed for having such a wonderful extended family. Quiet and small but will always be remember able."

I was also very impressed with your professionalism; you kept everything flowing smoothly and running on time. The quality of sound and volume were just right.
I have to admit I was a little worried in that tiny room that it would be too loud or sound distorted, but your sound was perfect. Our wedding ended up being everything I wanted and dreamed it would be... your band was a big part of it. Thank you!"

We can't thank you enough for giving us one less thing to worry about in the planning of our wedding! You were highly recommended and deserve all the accolades. I'd highly recommend you to anyone planning a wedding or event in the area. DJ Shelly was terrific and Jeff was very accommodating to all of our requests. Things went off without a hitch! Our wedding was perfect and we can't thank you enough for being such an important part of it."

Looking back, we honestly don't know what we would have done without you. You kept everything going in such an organized fashion for us (which should have been our caterer's job). The music was loved by everyone of all ages. You really helped us pull off a wonderful time. We can't thank you enough and you can be sure we will be spreading the word around about your band. You deserve it!

"Jeff (and Band)-We just wanted to pass along our thanks for doing such an amazing job at our wedding! You kept the party going all night - it seemed like you guys never took a break! The music was absolutely great. We can't tell you how many people stopped to tell us how much they enjoyed your music - everyone wanted to know who you were and how we found you. I'm sure you'll be picking up some future gigs from our friends.
I also wanted to pass along a special thanks for allowing my brother, father and I to jam with you. We had such a great time - it was one of the highlights of the night! Music has been a huge part of our lives, and our jam session will always be a very fond memory from a great reception.
Our only problem with the evening is that we can't wait to find an excuse to book you guys again! We'll have to find a reason to get our friends together soon for another evening with the Holycows! Thanks again!"

Heather and I wanted to take a minute to thank you and the band for a GREAT performance during our special day. The music was a great mix for our friends and family and the additional surprise guest appearance by Heather's Dad, and the rousing polka, by my parents made the night even more special.

"Hi Jeff,
I know I never had an opportunity to thank you before the night ended- so a much belated thanks is in order. I'm glad to hear you guys had fun, we did too! And, from the number of tired dancing feet at the end of the night, so did our guests. One of our favorite songs was "Sweet Child of Mine" towards the end - the perfect raucous ending to a great weekend!We all had a great time and I would recommend you if given the chance! Hope your new year is busy! Cheers!"

"Hi Jeff, Just wanted to thank you again for doing such a wonderful job at our wedding at the Common Man on July 16th. It was absolutely perfect and you (DJ) and the jazz trio absolutely made the event. Everyone agreed you were FANTASTIC and you did such a great job of keeping the energy up. I especially thought the acoustic Beatles songs during dinner were a wonderful touch.
In case you want to take a peek, here are our wedding pictures, you pop up a couple of times." :)

"Gentlemen:
We engaged your services for approximately six hours for a wedding July 9th at the Pierce House in Lincoln Massachusetts. The program consisted of keyboard background music before and during the ceremony, a four piece jazz combo for the cocktail hour, and a disc jockey during dinner and afterwards for dancing.
The musical selections were appropriate for the occasion; guests ranged in age from those in their thirties through their seventies, and all were well satisfied. Particular note should be made for the pleasant level of volume and for the gracious performance of the DJ (Andy). Guests could easily hear the music yet talk to others at their tables in a reasonable conversational tone. The DJ's guidance as master-of-ceremonies was done in a professional, dignified manner. The absence of both deafening music and tasteless would-be standup comedian made the event fly by. Everyone left with smiles on their faces.
We would be pleased to recommend your company and will suggest to the management of the Pierce House that they add you to their informal list of vendors with whom they have had good experience.
Very truly yours,"

Mel Bourgault
Mother of the Bride
I'm really sorry we never called or emailed after the wedding. I've never been away from work that long (it felt great), and we are really busy. Weak excuse, but you know how the business is, everyone needs something immediately.
Anyway, the only way I can put it is YOU GUYS F****** ROCKED! You blew us away, honestly. After the initial meeting and from everything Amy told us, we honestly never had a doubt that the band would be good. But holy shit were you guys awesome. I've seen a lot of bands in my career, and music is music - but the energy that your band, and you in particular, brought to the party is truly amazing. I had so much fun with you, not only the night of - but through the entire planning process. You are a true gentleman, and a professional. We were very lucky to find you.
Several times throughout the night I just had to look over at you and watch you. You love your job. Everyone in the room could tell that you were "on it" that night and it was your mission to make everyone have a good time. I don't know if you remember or not, and maybe I'm just making shit up, but a few times you and I seemed to catch eyes and we just knew "this is awesome." Not to sound sappy or anything, but I'll always remember that. It was like we just both knew it was a special night, and we were going to have the best times of our lives this night. At least it felt that way for me.
All of our guests were talking about the band and how awesome you were, including my friend Mike Notaro, who is nothing short of a musical genius. I knew people would dance, but I thought the view might provide some competition. And to get my guy friends on the dance floor is pretty hard to do. Not to mention, that you will NEVER, EVER see me on stage singing with a band either. I'm having dinner with my friend Kevin McKinney tonight. He was the other guy on stage with me singing Sweet Home Chicago. I'm getting pumped just writing this email, bringing back good memories. I'm sure you will be a topic of conversation tonight.
If there is ANYTHING we can ever do for you, please let us know. I don't know if you are like that with every gig - but you made us feel very special. It was almost like a best friend up there performing his ass off for us-thanks Jeff. We will absolutely look you up next time we are in the area, and if you are ever in Chicago - we owe you a few million beers. Thanks buddy."

My wife and I, Jamie’s parents, together with brides want to tell you what a huge success it was, much of it due to you! Your high level of professionalism, excellent choice in music, smooth coordination with the staff at the Common Man not only facilitated a “great time by all” but made the event easy for the brides, the parents and no doubt the Inn’s staff.

"Jeff was our wedding DJ. Jeff had me at "if you want a DJ to play games you should call someone else" but my now husband saw the price tag and wanted us to keep looking. After interviewing a laundry list of DJs who could have doubled as used car salesmen, we went with Jeff and never looked back. He kept our dance floor literally PACKED all night with all ages and types of guests.
If you just want your friends to dance at the wedding, you can get someone cheaper, but for everyone to involved, I couldn't recommend Jeff more. His price is higher, but there is a reason Holycow! Music was just voted one of the best in NH."

"Hi Jeff,
I apologize for the delayed email response. Just wanted to say how much fun we had at the wedding. The band was a huge hit- and everyone was partying like a rockstar!! Everyone had an amazing time. The cocktail hour was fabulous- with the jazz; the little bit we did get to enjoy was awesome. I also appreciate you playing a longer set than normal to accommodate the crazy dance crowd. Everyone really did have an amazing time. The bands excitement and enthusiasm for what they do really shows! I certainly would recommend the band to anyone planning a wedding in the Lakes Region!
Thanks again for everything," -Gina

What can I say but thank you, thank you, thank you... you and your fellow band members exceeded our expectations. We knew you were a fantastic band but the ceremony music, cocktail jazz trio on top of your reception music was unbelievable. I can't tell you how many of our guests came up to us commenting on how great you guys were. And yes as you have often mentioned to me we will "rock your wedding" and your guests will be exhausted from all the dancing. You were right!
Please pass on our warmest appreciation to your fellow band members and anytime you need a reference just let me know. You never know we may meet up again as I have two more daughters to be married ( I hope they give us some time to recoup).
Enjoy the upcoming summer months." -Sean

"Jeff,
Things have finally settled down for us and I wanted to send you a note to thank you for EVERYTHING. It was such a pleasure to work with you. You made it so easy from beginning to end. After our first initial discussion, I knew that I had nothing to worry about and you would take care of it all. My guests are still raving about how amazing the music was, how interactive you were as a DJ and how much they danced. Dave's brother even said "I have never ever danced like that, what fun!" I think the best bonus you gave us, was hanging out at the after party! Everyone enjoyed your music, you are extremely talented and so fun to be around.
Thank you again for everything, and we hope to see you at another wedding soon!

Most of all, we really loved having you sing "Here Comes the Sun" during the ceremony- It was really special to us and something we will always remember..."

"Hey Jeff,
I wanted to let you know again how thankful Anne and I are for having you and The Holy Cows perform at our wedding. As I said earlier- "you guys killed it!" It was quit obvious that you put a little extra effort in for us. All of our friends & family had a blast!!! They’re still raving about the performance. Again… please extend an extra thank you to Tim and the rest of the band from both Anne & I. Rock on Liberachi!!!!!!"

"Jeff,
We have had so much feedback about that reception. Our friends have said it was a very relaxing but extremely fun night. We set the ambiance, but Jody made it all work. Friends of the groom--from NY--had been to a few weddings that summer most of which were traditional sit down meals, really dressy atmosphere, and DJs etc. But they said ours was the best one they had been to in a long time. They did mention in that how much they loved the music and the DJ.
Jeff I truly appreciated your patience, your help, and your willingness to make this a night that we wanted. I know it's your business but you really made us feel like we were as important as the DJ. (I know that's good business that's not always how it works.) I was nervous about not having you for the DJ because I loved your enthusiasm, but I must say that I wasn't in any way disappointed by Jody. Even though she hadn't done any prep with us, she was a comfortable fit. We tried hard to make her feel comfortable and we hope she enjoyed the night and working with us as much as we enjoyed working with her. I hope sometime in the near future we need a DJ as you would be the one I would call. I have recommended you to others and will continue to do so.
Although I didn't mention the rest of the crew, rest assured they were happy and pleased too! Thanks again for Holycow's part in making the night my daughter said was 'exactly what she wanted for a reception'.

"Hi Jeff –
Where to begin! Planning a wedding from out of state at a private home was sometimes a challenge – but you were so easy to work with and we had fun with the online music picking tool.
Thank you so much for an amazing wedding – so many guests commented on the great acoustic music you sang during the cocktail hour (I’m bummed we missed it). At the reception, the dance floor was packed all night! The range of music you played allowed every age group and music taste to enjoy the party – even my 87 year old grandmother was dancing! And thanks for being flexible with my niece’s music for her Irish Step Dancing routine. It was a big hit also. Thanks again!"
Sincerely-
Kathy & Paul Spillane

You guys really kept your word and absolutely ROCKED OUR WEDDING! Our guests really had the best time (many claiming it was the best wedding they've ever been to!). Sorry I took over the microphone and tambourine at the end of the night! I don't think you'll want to hire me as your next lead singer, huh? :)
Thank you for everything, you guys are THE BEST!"

"On behalf of the reunion committee, let me say that DJ Andy at our reunion was wonderful, professional and very friendly to a bunch old “old folks”. The music selection was very well done and timely as our event went through the evening. There were a lot of compliments from those attending. It was a great evening and Andy added value to the event being a success. Thanks again."

It's hard to believe your band had more energy than our friends, we are all still in awe of your performance- you guys are simply amazing! None of us have ever seen a band perform like that at a wedding, it was like being at a rock concert.

Dear Jeff,"Clint and I wanted to thank you and the band for making our wedding reception such an amazingly fun party. After hiring you sight and sound unseen based on our friend Traci's recommendation, I still wasn't quite sure what to expect. However, it was an absolute pleasure working with you.
You were extremely professional at all times, ready with suggestions if we wanted them, and listened with enthusiasm to what we wanted to do that day. Clint and I so appreciated your willingness to travel to Cape Cod for our wedding. I received so many compliments on the music that the band played. Our guests were amazed at the variety of music you were able to play, from the jazz quintet and acoustic guitar during the cocktail hour, to the pianist during dinner and then the full band which had everyone up and dancing on the dance floor and even the tables!
When Clint and I look back at our wedding video we are so happy to see how much fun everyone (including the band) is having during the dancing. Clint and I felt that the band's style and energy struck exactly the note we were looking for in our wedding reception. We would recommend you with the highest praises to anyone looking for a band to make their party a fun-filled and exciting event. Thank you again for making our wedding day such a special time."

Jeff, we can't even begin to express how thankful we are to have known you through all the planning stages of our wedding; your advice was so helpful and we just loved every song your band performed. As we both attended college in Boston, we have listened to some good bands at our friends' weddings but your band's performance was so much more impressive than any other we have ever seen. Thank you a million times over, we will surely be seeing you all again at our bridesmaids or ushers' weddings! :) "

Jeff, I'm so glad that we found your service, you absolutely ran the show and made the evening PERFECT. Your band members seem like family now; please tell them how much we appreciated their efforts and energy in pulling off the greatest reception!

"Jeff, well you did it!!!
You even sold Eleni and Wade for their wedding next summer!!! They would like your band to play at their reception- the ceremony music too, all in one location (probably Lake Tarleton in Warren). Can you tell me the Saturdays you have available and we can go from there. She has some tentative dates that would work well - obviously not too close to school. Let me know...
You are the talk of the town. Everybody had such a GREAT time at Alexa and Stewart's wedding! I just can't thank you enough for making everything PERFECT!!!
YOU’RE THE BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Thank you so much for doing a wonderful job at our wedding, everything went so smoothly. The Holycow Band was excellent and Jeff is a true professional. Everyone had the BEST time.

The ability to choose all our songs online was FANTASTIC, especially for brides who change their minds a lot... I couldn't believe Jeff found the song I needed for the Mother-Son dance, it was ancient - no dust on this digital DJ!
On the big day at the Church Landing, our DJ showed up excited and well prepared. She was personable, professional and the whole event went off without a hitch (Except ours!). What an amazing experience, thank you Holycow! DJ's!"

"Hi Jeff,
I just wanted to let you know that Andy and I were thrilled with you guys at our wedding. We received so many comments on how fabulous you were and you were a pleasure to work with beforehand as well. Before the wedding, it was such a relief to feel like there was at least one part of the wedding that we didn't have to worry about turning out well! (Leaving me with more time to obsess over the possibility of bad weather!) And we really appreciate that you learned our song on such short notice.
I will certainly be on the lookout for any good pictures/video for you, and we would be happy to give you a reference of any kind!
Thanks again! You definitely helped make the day memorable."

"Dear Jeff,
Now that the excitement of our recent wedding celebration in Wolfeboro, NH has subsided, we can take a moment to properly thank you. The days immediately preceding the wedding tend to be stressful, as the bride and groom contemplate not only their imminent exchange of vows, but also the degree of dependence placed upon the church, the reception hall, and the musicians. When the wedding day finally arrives, so does the realization that the trust placed in the minister, the chef, and the band leader is essential, because their performance contributes mightily to the success of the day’s event.
We are still having fun reflecting upon the events of Oct 9, because the church ceremony was beautiful, the dinner was timely and tasty, and the musical entertainment insured that the dance floor was never vacant! The Holycow Band performed flawlessly. Diane and I were extremely impressed that your lead female singer (Jody)persevered despite suffering from the flu. That type of dedication epitomized the professionalism displayed by the band. Thank you for acting as emcee, and thanks to the entire group for a fabulous performance."
Mr. & Mrs. Kendall S. Juthe

"Jeff, YOU ARE THE MAN! Your kindness, effort and musical talent absolutely made our evening the most special event of our lives- we can't thank you enough for all of your advice and wedding expertise. You had our friends dancing all night... we actually thought a few would pass out at the rate they were going. We both feel so relieved we spent the extra with our budget to get an experienced DJ like yourself- and your solo acoustic guitar/vocals during our cocktail hour will be treasured from our video. Honestly, you promised us a special day and you went above and beyond... we couldn't be more pleased with your performance and services."

From our initial phone call to the day of our wedding, you were extremely professional, very helpful, well organized, and most importantly, a lot of fun. Since you came highly recommended from the Wolfeboro Inn, we knew that we would not be let down.
We have been to many weddings to know a good DJ from an average DJ; you definitely qualified as an excellent DJ. You did everything that you promised us and more, especially since you provided the music for the ceremony. We are still getting rave reviews from our guests. Our wedding day was absolutely perfect!"

"Dear Jeff, everyone at our wedding at the Inn came up to us to say what an amazing "party" it was... and it was the music choices, of course, to start with... they couldn't believe how great it was and wanted to know who "she" was :). I told Shelly that night how amazing it was, and how much I appreciated her the whole evening. I actually felt like I had a friend there with me... not a girl I had just met. I also gave your company name.
You had assured me that I would be really happy with Shelly, and you were so right... of course, the equipment was obviously outstanding, the selections perfect, and everyone up on the dance floor all night... truly fabulous. But Shelly, herself, was such an addition to the evening... her attitude is all about "you"... and it was so obvious to me how much she wanted Jimmy and I to be happy with everything she did. But also, when she played the Marine Hymn for Jimmy's buddies, and everyone stood up!!... and then right afterwards, she went over and gave them her personal "thank you" for all they had done... one word sums up Shelly, HolyCow Productions, and the whole event: CLASS !! Thank you so much! You can use our name and phone number for recommendations anytime you want forever!!!

"Hi Jeff!!!
We had a terrific time at the wedding. Your band was incredible and everyone had such a great time. People still comment on how great the "band" was. Did you ever see the dance floor empty??? Us either!!! You told us that would happen!!! Your amazing energy was contagious. The ONLY time I was sad that day was when the party was going to end in 30 minutes. I am so glad you were able to stay and play longer. The party WAS NOT ready to end so early. I know you guys were there late, but we really appreciated you staying longer. From the announcement of the wedding party till the final song (when you serenaded the 2 of us till we fell over), you were terrific. Thanks for making our wedding such a memorable event."

I want to thank you for all of your help with our reception. The party was by far the BEST reception we could have dreamed of. We had about 130 people and the coordinator, Jeff Woodward, said that of the 60 receptions he has done this summer, this was by far his favorite. DJ Jody was AMAZING and so much fun to work with. She had that dance floor packed until 1 AM and I mean packed!
Thanks again Jeff for everything, I'll talk to you soon!"

"Hey Jeff,Thanks for writing to check in, it is good to hear from you! Married life is going well, we finally moved into our new apartment this month so things are moving right along!
The wedding was so much fun... it went by all too fast as I am sure you hear from every single bride and groom! Our friends and family loved the music you guys provided, it was complemented on many occasions. I loved that you came for the whole time, from cocktails to finish. You really did get everyone up off their seats to boogie at some point! We even had one friend of the family say that you even got HIM up to dance -he never dances. I thought the introductions were great, thank you for practicing to ensure that you had everyone's name pronounced correctly, and the lead off dances went really smoothly.
We just got the pictures and are still waiting for the video, but if I see good ones for you to use as promotion I will definitely send them along!! I would definitely recommend the Holycows to anyone who asks - please use us as a reference!"
Caitlin Fahey

"Hi Jeff, Doug and I just got back from the honeymoon last night. Had a fabulous time - just about as fabulous as the wedding. You guys were the best! I got loads of praise for you guys from the guests. Just the fact that people were on the dance floor constantly from the first song to the last shows just how great you all were.
By the way, I saw your performance drew in a small group of onlookers, one of whom decided to come try and talk to you as you were singing. My sister said to me she didn't know how you could keep holding your note with that woman screaming in your ear. We had a couple of other crashers as well who tried to get some drinks from the bar, so I will mention to the Chase house that they might want to devise a better system for keeping non-guests out. But I did want to say you did a great job dealing with that!
Again, thanks for making it an amazing wedding!!! Feel free to use me as a reference for prospective clients."

I want to thank you for your contributions to Liz and Chris's wedding last weekend! From the ceremony, the reception and dancing into the evening - it was great! The band made it look like such fun, that our lawyer daughter was commenting that she thinks it would be a blast to be part of the group!
Please pass our thanks on to all in the group - it was great fun having you there.

It really was amazing to see everyone dancing... Our justice of the Peace and his wife were out there to the end, and so was our grandmother and all our friends. They are all still talking about it now. I can't remember one time, even when the band was not playing, that the dance floor wasn't full.
I was really impressed with how well you made our wedding feel unique, down to playing "Burning down the house" when the fire alarm went off... it even made the fire alarm fun! You guys were a key part into making our reception an unforgettable party. Thank you again for making our day unforgettable."

"Hi Jeff,
Seeley and I wanted to send out a slighted belated, but HUGE thank you for our Aug. 13th wedding. You guys were awesome and definitely exceeded my expectations!!
You were the first vendor we booked after picking a date based on Seeley's rave reviews (from Jenn and Whitney Thayer's NH wedding the summer before) and you guys just made the whole night. The band has amazing energy. The dance floor was packed all night and everyone had a blast. I danced quite a bit and kept thinking to myself “this has got to be the last song before they take a break" but you kept on and on. I think there were 2 very short breaks, including 1 for dinner which was pretty incredible (and unexpected). Also, thanks for letting Seeley take stage. He had a blast playing and is still talking about the music...
We'll send along any good pictures that we get, but we won't see them for at least a month. In the meantime, I'd love to serve as a reference for you guys at any point should you ever need one.
Finally, thanks a million for making the trip to Mass for us. We didn't check out any other bands, but from what I heard, you guys are a great value. Hmm... perhaps you should raise your rates? :)
Anyway, thanks again and I'll be in touch with pictures. Best, Andrea
PS - One other thing I just remembered. Thanks for taking the time to make sure you got our introduction right. I'd asked for both of our names to be mentioned and it was great of you to remember!"

"Dear Jeff,
It hardly seems possible that almost five months have passed since Cari and Judd's wedding on October 28 at the Inns and Spa at Mills Falls. I do apologize for the delay in sending this note.
The wedding celebration was a huge success due in large part to the exceptional performance by you and the Holycow! band! Our guests had a great time on the dance floor and did not want the evening to end. There were so many favorable comments about the entire function, and we were so pleased with the results.
We interviewed only one band and did not feel the need to look any farther. You certainly did not disappoint us Jeff!!"

Married life is treating us well. :) Winter is hot and rainy as we live in Florida! We also have had to face the challenge of Hurricane Wilma. So... lots of things to do after all that.
We both were very pleased with all aspects of Holycow! Productions. From the beginning to the end, nothing was ever an inconvenience and no time was ever the wrong time for contacting you with our plans. You also got the version of our wedding song we wanted. That in itself shows how much you care about your clients as if they were part of your family.
Thank you for having a good time as well. We truly are blessed for having such a wonderful extended family. Quiet and small but will always be remember able."

We can't thank you enough for giving us one less thing to worry about in the planning of our wedding! You were highly recommended and deserve all the accolades. I'd highly recommend you to anyone planning a wedding or event in the area. DJ Shelly was terrific and Jeff was very accommodating to all of our requests. Things went off without a hitch!

The music was loved by everyone of all ages. You really helped us pull off a wonderful time. We can't thank you enough and you can be sure we will be spreading the word around about your band. You deserve it!

"Jeff (and Band)-We just wanted to pass along our thanks for doing such an amazing job at our wedding! You kept the party going all night - it seemed like you guys never took a break! The music was absolutely great. We can't tell you how many people stopped to tell us how much they enjoyed your music - everyone wanted to know who you were and how we found you. I'm sure you'll be picking up some future gigs from our friends.
I also wanted to pass along a special thanks for allowing my brother, father and I to jam with you. We had such a great time - it was one of the highlights of the night! Music has been a huge part of our lives, and our jam session will always be a very fond memory from a great reception.
Our only problem with the evening is that we can't wait to find an excuse to book you guys again! We'll have to find a reason to get our friends together soon for another evening with the Holycows! Thanks again!"

Hi Jeff, Andy and I just wanted to thank you so much for your fantastic performance at our wedding. We had more fun than we could have imagined and all the guests commented on how great the band was.
As promised, I dropped a gratuity in the mail today for the band. Please divide amongst the members upon receipt for me and give them our thanks.
We hope we get to see you perform again sometime! All our best and many thanks, Emily and Andy-

"Hey Jeff-
Heather and I wanted to take a minute to thank you and the band for a GREAT performance during our special day. The music was a great mix for our friends and family and the additional surprise guest appearance by Heather's Dad, and the rousing polka, by my parents made the night even more special. I've attached a few pictures of Dave and Heather sitting in with the band and singing with you!
Best of luck and we will certainly pass your name along to anyone we know who is getting married in the area."

"Hi Jeff,
I know I never had an opportunity to thank you before the night ended- so a much belated thanks is in order. I'm glad to hear you guys had fun, we did too! And, from the number of tired dancing feet at the end of the night, so did our guests. One of our favorite songs was "Sweet Child of Mine" towards the end - the perfect raucous ending to a great weekend!We all had a great time and I would recommend you if given the chance! Hope your new year is busy! Cheers!"

Our DJ Jody was great! Everything went as planned and everyone had a good time. He played songs we requested in advance and songs that were requested at the reception by guests. We had a great time and of course it went too fast. Thanks for everything."

"Hello Jeff –
I just wanted to drop a line now that the wedding has passed and we have returned from the honeymoon. Thank you for the fun time you provided to everyone as our DJ. Everyone had a blast – I could tell you and your assistant Shelly both had a good time rocking the Latin tunes and we sure had a blast jamming to them! THANK YOU for contributing to our special day."

Jeff,"Thanks so much to you and your band! You were all great during the reception (and in helping us plan the grand event)! Everyone raved about how much fun and energetic the band was. We hope you all had as much fun as we did... it looked it! Thanks for playing through the "mosquito invasion" without so much as a flinch.
If you ever need to use us as a reference, feel free. In the meantime, thanks again, you were the best- Cheers!"

"Hey Jeff,
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR A GREAT PARTY!!!!!! Everyone just loved you guys and the best part of the night was the last dance when Eleni said, "You know Mom and Dad, this is everything I dreamed of in a wedding. I couldn't have asked for anything better. Thank you so much!" That sure made our day and you created the ambiance. You're the best!!!!!!!! Thanks for all!" Love, Jan and Steve

"Hi Jeff, Just wanted to thank you again for doing such a wonderful job at our wedding at the Common Man on July 16th. It was absolutely perfect and you (DJ) and the jazz trio absolutely made the event. Everyone agreed you were FANTASTIC and you did such a great job of keeping the energy up. I especially thought the acoustic Beatles songs during dinner were a wonderful touch.
In case you want to take a peek, here are our wedding pictures, you pop up a couple of times." :)

"Gentlemen:
We engaged your services for approximately six hours for a wedding July 9th at the Pierce House in Lincoln Massachusetts. The program consisted of keyboard background music before and during the ceremony, a four piece jazz combo for the cocktail hour, and a disc jockey during dinner and afterwards for dancing.
The musical selections were appropriate for the occasion; guests ranged in age from those in their thirties through their seventies, and all were well satisfied. Particular note should be made for the pleasant level of volume and for the gracious performance of the DJ (Andy). Guests could easily hear the music yet talk to others at their tables in a reasonable conversational tone. The DJ's guidance as master-of-ceremonies was done in a professional, dignified manner. The absence of both deafening music and tasteless would-be standup comedian made the event fly by. Everyone left with smiles on their faces.
We would be pleased to recommend your company and will suggest to the management of the Pierce House that they add you to their informal list of vendors with whom they have had good experience.
Very truly yours,"

Dear Jeff,"A quick note to thank you and the rest of the Holycow "herd" for a fantastic reception party! You absolutely made the barn roof raise! You're THE BEST! Everyone has commented on what a terrific band you were and how much fun you generated. Noelle and Michael were ecstatic with everything, but you all managed to bring them-and the rest of us-even higher. Thanks Jeff!"
