Jack,
We just had to write to thank you for making our daughter's wedding such an
unforgettable experience. The dance floor was full all night! That's
how we measure the quality of the band. Everyone remarked about the band,
the music selection, and the fun that everyone had because of if. Your
group is so remarkable in their ability to take any genre of music and make
it sound like their own. And the songs you had to "dust off" or learn
for the first time for us sounded like you had been playing them for years. On
a personal note, it was such a pleasure working with you. You are so
professional and flexible. We can't wait until we can attend one of our
friend’s weddings with you playing there. If you are ever in need
of a reference, don't hesitate to nave anyone call us.
Thanks, again,
Lonnie & Cheryl

it all together for us, and I really, really appreciate it.
Thanks again, I just wanted to put the call out to you guys, bye for now.

Hi Jack,
I just wanted to thank you for doing a beautifuljob at our wedding on May
19th. Dan and I had a wonderful time and the Band sounded awesome! We've received
many compliments after the wedding and people still couldn't believe we had
a band as great as you. Everyone was dancing the night away. Please say thank
you to the crew!
Regards,
Melissa and Dan

Jack, Cat, et al ~
Our phone has been ringing off the hook today....the accolades just keep coming
in. We can't say enough about the wonderful time we, and everyone, had. You
are an amazing mix of musicians and we thank you for making our daughters'
wedding reception a memorable one. I only wish that we had another daughter
so we could do it all over again someday.
Our heartfelt thanks,
Marianne and Anthony

Dear Jack, Cat and the band….
Thank you so much for making our wedding fantastic! We heard from many guests
that you were the best band they’d ever heard at a wedding. Not only
do you play music that everyone knows and loves, but you play it incredibly
well! We wanted a great party and you made sure that we got one! Also, from
the beginning of the planning to the very last song, you and the band were
so professional-the one part of the wedding that Shawn and I never worried
about was the music. We knew you’d be perfect and you absolutely were.
Thank you again and again,
Meghan & Shawn

Dear Jack,
Thank you for making Dustin and Melissa’s wedding reception a total success. Your
band’s musical ability is astounding. Your choice of songs and
tempo variety kept the guests wanting more. All of the guests were blown
away with your music. I especially liked how you kept things going as
the Master of Ceremony. Thanks also for working with me to figure out exactly
when the reception should end.
So blessed to have heard your band play.
Sincerely,
Laurey (mother of the groom)

Dear Jack and Cat,
Thank you so much for your wonderful performance and direction at our daughter's
wedding on Saturday (at the Netherlands). We all had a wonderful time
dancing and enjoying your music. Our guests have been commenting to me
all week about how spectacular our band was and wondering where we found you! As
for me, I know I should have worked the room and socialized more than I did,
but I just couldn't stay off the dance floor!
Thank you also for allowing Dustin to join in with you for a few songs! I
know he loved that and we all loved hearing him as well. You
really helped to make our wonderful day even more special. Melissa and
Dustin are so happy, and your music was a part of the beginning of their new
life together. Thank you again.
Marianne (mother of the bride)

Well Jack,
I am knocked out by the orchestra's performance this past Saturday night at
Cescaphe. I have been to a lot of weddings and events (some with Nobel
Laureates and Presidents of the USA) but never have I seen such a perfect mesh
of orchestra, caterer and celebrants.
I was the father-of-the bride. Your orchestra was the "factor" that
made the night. Joe Volpe's Cescaphe was the proving grounds for the
ultimate wedding reception. I am hard pressed to find any flaws. What
a combination!
I wonder if you know how diverse the groups of people were who attended the
200+reception. There were people from at least 12 different countries
who were all getting along. There were doctors, lawyers, plumbers, electricians,
musicians, 60's rock band drummers, scientists and businessmen; all getting
along.
The announcements were well done...perfect really.
Just a great time. My wife and I (and everyone else) loved the music.
It was a perfect mix...Pure Genius!
Thanks to you, Cat and the orchestra. We love you all.
Sincerely,
Steve and Kathy

Hey Jack -
I just wanted to thank you and the band again for the wonderful, wonderful
job you guys did at our wedding a couple of weeks ago. I have since been to
two more weddings with pretty much the same crew of friends from college and
people over the past couple of weeks and the gang is still raving about what
a great party it was. Seeing Lauren, so many great friends and our families
all out on the dance floor with big smiles on their faces - I couldn't have
asked for anything more! Let me know if you want to use us as referrals or
if we can write a testimonial for your website. We'd rave about it! I
hope all is well and that we will cross paths with you guys soon.
Thanks again!

Hi Jack, Cat, Chris, Venisa, Brian, Ben, Joe, Colin and Roger
We are still talking and remembering how wonderful all of you were at our daughter
Julie's wedding a month ago! It was so re-assuring to be in such
capable and talented hands for this most happy and important time in our lives. You
should see the pictures we took of all of our guests dancing and living
it up to the maximum. The comments and compliments have been numerous. Jack,
you are " one of a kind", so nice and helpful. Your
selection of music was perfect. You knew what would get the
crowd dancing and dancing all night long. Your organization
and attention to all the details were so valuable and appreciated. Everything
ran so smoothly because of your planning or coordinating. You were terrific
and so flexible when we added our surprise visitor of "Super Swoop" into
the equation the week prior to the wedding. Whenever we need a band
again and whenever we are asked for a recommendation, you can be 100% certain
we will very confidently refer them to you.
Another compliment was directed our way by our guests of all ages thanking
us and telling us how much they enjoyed your choice of songs, the high quality
of the musicians and, of course, your singers. Julie told me several
of her friends at the wedding had attended weddings where you had performed
and they knew they were in for a great evening. I must add how beautiful
Cat and Venissa looked!! Cat, Venissa Chris, Colin and Jack - you
can really sing! Just LOVED your voices. To all the guys, you were
all handsome, I noticed! Then, once I heard your sounds I became
so mesmerized I was put on cloud 9 and smiled and danced all night. I
have never danced so much in my life. All of a sudden the end of
the evening arrived much too quickly, with no one wanting to leave, I
felt the five hours were not enough.
I am so glad Angela referred us to you. The first day we met Angela and
asked her for a really super band she told us how much she had enjoyed
seeing you perform and conduct a wedding. I am so glad she led us to
you. You were the first person we contacted and contracted for the wedding. We
knew when we heard you in Manayunk you were the band for us. I remember Cat's
kind words about how the band loves working together and how it shows in the
performance and she is right. You made us feel like your band is a family. Thank
you for calling us in Maine while we were on vacation so we would be sure to
have you. We also appreciated your prompt return of phone calls and e-mails.
Take Care.
Till we meet again
Still Dancing

Dear Jack, Cat, and the entire band,
We wanted to thank you ALL for helping to make our wedding on July 9, 2005
such a success. We are still receiving compliments to this day about
how great our band was. It was evident how much our guests enjoyed your
music by their chants at the end of the night for "One More Song!" No
one wanted the music to stop playing. Please feel free to use us as references
for future couples. The Jack Faulkner Orchestra is one decision
they will not regret!
Thanks again,
Amy and John

Dear Jack,
Joe and I would like to thank you for making our wedding such a wonderful time. We
heard it over and over, “We love the band!” The party started
right from the beginning and you and the band worked the guests to the very
last song. We loved it!! Thank you for making the night run smoothly
and successfully!
Sincerely,
Sara & Joe

Thank you!

Dear Jack,
The band was absolutely fabulous – you guys rocked! Our guests
raved about you throughout the reception, after, the next day and anyone we
speak with now.
Please give a special thanks to your drummer, I know his arms were about to
fall off by the end of the evening. I was so exhausted, I apologize for
not thanking him properly. Anyone I know looking for a band will get
your name.
Thank you so much!
Best wishes,
Kara & Mike

Dear Jack & Cat and the Entire Jack Faulkner Orchestra,
I am not sure where to even begin! Let me start by saying thank you from
the bottom of our hearts for making our day so amazing! We were getting
voicemails as we were on our honeymoon because people could not simply stop
telling us what an awesome time they had at our wedding. They wanted
us to come home and do it over again so they could party some more and the
words ringing in our ears, “Where did you find that band? They
were incredible!”
I wish I would have gotten a chance to thank everyone individually for being
so fantastic but before I knew it, it was over, please tell them all I was
simply speechless at their performance and they made our day. I have
never been to a wedding where the entire dance floor was filled and I know
the same goes for many others. You guys never stopped playing!!! The
music picks were perfect, as you know I was a little worried about that, why
I have no idea!!
Thank you Jack for always calling back promptly, answering all my emails, and
meeting with us at the Brew Pub! Thank you for all of your helpful hints. Just
a side note, Ryan & I were sent on the hunt to find a band by my dad, who
insisted on a band (smart man!). We went to see about 10 different bands
and we were frustrated no one sounded good, we could not decide if they just
sounded bad at their jam sessions or what? Well, we came out of your
jam session and you sounded awesome, we called my dad and said we found the
band!!! We wish we would have found you first, saved us some time! In
the end it was a day we will never forget and we owe so much to all of you
for making it such a memory for the 220 people, who will forget our anniversary
but our wedding, impossible!!!
Sincerely,
Chrystie & Ryan

Dear Jack and Cat,
Thank you and your band so much for making our wedding day so fantastic! We
both had a blast! The music was incredible and we appreciate how much
you helped keep the day running smoothly. Special thanks to your trumpet
player who stepped up at the last minute to play at the ceremony. You
guys are the BEST!!
Thanks,
Jordana & John

Dear Jack Faulkner Orchestra,
We just wanted to thank you for doing such a great job at our wedding on June
12, 2004. We received so many compliments on how good the band was & that
the music was perfect! Everyone had a great time dancing all night! We
wish it could’ve gone on for a couple more hours! You played everything
we wanted & it sounded wonderful! Thank you again.
Lynn & Matt

Dear Jack & Cat,
What can we say?...you guys rock! The dance floor was packed all night
(we have proof on the video!!) Everyone is still talking about “the
great band.” We are definitely spreading the word. A great
time was had by all. Thank you for helping to make our wedding a true
celebration!
Love,
Jaime and R.J.

Dear Jack,
I wanted to thank you so much for the amazing job you and your group did at
our wedding. Everything was perfect. So many people have called
to comment on the “great band” and I have given your number to
several people already. Lots of people told us that ours was one of the
best weddings ever and I know you guys had a lot to do with it. You guys
were worth every penny! Your talent and professionalism won’t be
forgotten! Thank you!
Fondly,
Robin

Dear Jack –
Jamie and I would like to thank you for the excellent music you all played
at our wedding! You all are wonderful performers and you certainly know
how to play to a crowd and get them on the dance floor!
We’d especially like to thank you for the Sarah Maclachlan song – we
can only apologize for our terrible dancing. (Unfortunately, two dance
lessons are only enough to make a couple look worse!! – at least in our
case.) I’m really excited to get the video back to hear the song
again and to laugh at our dancing!
I hope all is well with you all, I’m sure we’ll see you again at
another wedding – we have one more sister to go!
Thanks – Emily & Jamie

Dear Jack & Cat,
Just a quick note to say thanx again for making our wedding so excellent.
Our guests have not stopped talking about how great the band was. Everybody
stayed until the end and danced up a a storm. You really were the best, and
you were a pleasure to work with.

Dear Jack & Cat,
We wanted to thank you for the wonderful performance you gave at our wedding
at The Sheraton on Rittenhouse Square. We received lot of compliments from
our guests and we know that everybody was enjoying themselves judging by the
number of people on the dance floor. You both have a lot of talent, as well
as the rest of your orchestra. We really appreciate the fact that our reception
was so wonderful thanks to your beautiful music.
Sincerely,
Pam & Dave

Thanks for making our wedding “THE BEST I’VE EVER BEEN TO”,
as quoted by almost everyone there. We have already had inquiries as to where
you can be reached. I just watched the video again last night, and you were
all so great!

Jack, Cat & the Orchestra,
Tom and I would like to thank you for putting on an incredible show at our
wedding reception. From the cocktail hour, through dinner, and into the dancing,
the orchestra truly entertained our guests and especially the two of us!
We have gotten several compliments about how great the orchestra sounded
all night long. As you probably could tell, everyone had an absolute blast.
Your orchestra is truly the reason why our guests had so much fun.
Thanks for helping to make our day so special and memorable.
Sincerely,
Leigh & Tom F.

Dear Jack & Cat
Hank and I can’t thank you enough for making our wedding reception such
a spectacular evening. We had so much fun, and your band has been complimented
too many times to count. Everybody we’ve talked to has said how impressed
they were with the broad variety of music you played. And just as Pepper had
said, you did an excellent job of “reading” the crowd. We truly
thank you for your professionalism and the wonderful job you did.
Fondly,
Kate & Hank M.

Dear Jack,
The comments on the orchestra from all in attendance at the Brandeis event
on April 18, 1999 have been overwhelmingly positive. I wanted to write to thank
you for the great performance and to express our gratitude for your flexibility
and cooperation concerning all of the events that needed to be coordinated
for the evening as well as all of the last minute changes. It was truly a pleasure
to work with you and your very talented group.
Thanks again for a job well done
Very truly yours,

Dear Jack & Catherine,
Matthew & I want to thank you on behalf of the Philadelphia Opera Guild,
The Opera Company of Philadelphia, and personally-for your outstanding performance
at the Bohemian Ball. The strolling musicians during dinner were a unique touch-not
seen around here in a long time and very much appreciated. At every event I
have attended, there has always been someone who complains about the music-but
at The Bohemian Ball there were 400 satisfied customers. I have heard only
wonderful comments.
Your talented and professional singers and musicians are to be commended for
a terrific evening of entertainment.
Sincerely,
Maxine C

Dear Jack, etc.
Well...What can I say?!? You all promised everyone would dance at our wedding
and they DID!!! I can’t say enough wonderful things about your band.
You completely turned the reception into a fantastic event. What a party! Rick & I
didn’t want to leave the dance floor!
Thank You! Thank you! Thank You! We would recommend you to any soon-to-be newlyweds
that we know!
Warm Regards,

Dear Jack,
Everyday someone calls or stops in to tell us what a great time they had at
the wedding.
You and your group of talented entertainers were a major part of the success.
Not only was the music “perfect” and the singing at the tables
so personalized, but it was a pleasure working with you.
I was very impressed that you took the time to really listen to what music
Ellen & Eric wanted, and followed through with each detail.
Thank You Thank You Thank You
One of your fans,

Dear Jack,
Thank you so much for the outstanding job your orchestra did last week at Efrem’s
Bar Mitzvah. Your music really made the guests want to get up and dance. I
can’t tell you how many times I heard “The band is really good!” I
hope we’ll have many more happy occasions and that you will be a part
of them.
Sincerely,
Lucia S
PS-All your orchestra members have such great voices-especially your beautiful
wife.
