Midnight Hour -
Rick and I can not thank you enough for your performance at our wedding at the Hotel duPont. Everything was magnificent from the introductions and our first dance, to the great upbeat dance songs after dinner, and of course - "Grey Street"! Shavin, we told you our friends and family love to dance and you not only listened to what we wanted, you truly took it to heart. The timing of everything was perfect and we definitely made the most of our time on the dance floor!
Thanks so much for making our special night one to remember!

To Shavin & The Midnight Hour Band,
We were so pleased with everything you guys did for the wedding! It was exactly what we wanted, and my mother and older relatives thought the music volume was perfect! 🙂You really MADE our reception. All of our guests said it was the best band they had ever heard. You had great instincts as to what to play when. People really were dancing the entire reception -- to the point where we could only greet our guests by joining them on the dance floor.We really appreciated your flexibility during the day as well -- we ended up behind schedule, and you coordinated wonderfully with the staff at the Olde Mill to make everything seem seamless, enabling us to enjoy ourselves. Thank you again, and please know that you will have our highest recommendation to all friends and family in the area.Warm regards,Jeff & Grace Boivin
Manor House at Commonwealth: Asselta-Ford, August 22, 2009
Hi Shavin!
I just wanted to thank you very much for performing at our wedding! We had an amazing time, and the band did a superior job. I believe it is a true testament to you guys when you had basically all of our guests up on the dance floor the entire length of the wedding! I also really appreciate you guys playing Mustang Sally and Never Gonna Give You Up for my mom and mother-in-law.
I just wanted to thank you again, and I will be sure to recommend you when my friends start getting hitched too!
Kind Regards,
Adrienne
Villanova Conference Center: Giancaterino-Marchese, August 1, 2009

Please give my thanks to Pepper and the entire Midnight Hour Band. They did a fabulous job for my daughter and son-in-law's wedding on August 1st at the Villanova Conference Center and I can't thank them enough.
The dance floor was packed from the first song to the last, but it was more then that. They were professional yet personable. Whoever handles the sound had it just right, you could feel the music but not get blasted out of the room. They allowed my husband to sing a special song to Marisa and it was perfect. Every song sounded like the original, a few times I had to look to see it was them and not a recording. The best time was had by all and we have a life time of happy memories of the night.

What can I say?
Brandywine Valley Talent did it again! The 5th Annual ISES Liberty Awards Gala held on June 2, 2009 was a huge success thanks to you and your great staff at BVT. Thanks for providing the Entertainment for the entire event! From the DJ and Percussion duo by the Poolside during cocktails, to the great sounds of Jazz provided by Lou Lanza and his band throughout the Dinner and Awards to the unbelievable dance party music that Midnight Hour played in Club BLING!! It was an amazing night and a wonderful time was had by all!!
Thanks again,

Merion Cricket Club: Tetreault-Heiser Wedding, June 20, 2009
June 20, 2009
I can’t tell you how many compliments we've received about your band! Everyone keeps telling us what a great time they had at our reception, and how much fun it was. I have to thank Joanne for the beautiful job she did singing our song (the unique version of "I Wanna Hold Your Hand" from the movie "Across The Universe"). I had no idea that was her singing at first -- it sounded like the recording! She was spectacular, and that made it all the more special for us. I can’t wait to relive it when I see the video!
You had everyone dancing and engaged all night long, and it was a blast! Please pass my thanks along to the rest of the band as well, you guys were fabulous!!!!! I hope you all had as much fun as we did!!! Feel free to post our comments on your website!

Dear Shavin,
We cannot thank you and the band enough for your outstanding performance at our wedding. We are still hearing from friends and relatives about how "our" band is the best wedding band they have ever heard. For me, the fact that you took the time to learn our wedding song and worked with me to keep it a secret from Ken until that day was really amazing, almost as amazing as Ken's face when he recognized the opening lines to the David Bowie song! He told me that he was just blown away at your rendition of the song and how perfectly it was played.
Thanks again for making our day exactly what we hoped it would be! Feel free to reprint this anywhere you like!

Dear Shavin,Michael and I absolutely loved having your band at our reception! You guys really made the evening wonderful. Our guests still tell us how much they enjoyed the band. We really loved how you got people onto the dance floor. Our special request for you to do The Hokey Pokey was great, with all of the kids and adults laughing and having a great time. We especially appreciate the time you spent prior to the wedding, working with Michael to help him prepare the song he sang to me. It was a very special part of the evening.
Our day was perfect, and you were a big part of it. Thank you very much!Michael and Sarah GondolfoBride and Groom

Rivercrest Country Club: Phoenixville Chamber of Commerce Charity Ball, March 7th 2009
Hello Shavin, Many thanks to you and the band for everything that you did to make the Phoenixville Chamber of Commerce's 2009 Charity Ball such a success! The music was wonderful, and everybody had a great time - evidenced by the packed dance floor up until your very last song! Also, thank you for helping out with the announcements during the silent auctions -- you made the auctions very easy for me to manage, and I truly appreciated that. We have heard nothing but great feedback about you for all of our guests - you definitely got the party started and kept it going!
I would be happy to provide a reference for anyone considering Midnight Hour in the future!
Thanks again,

Rivercrest Golf Club: Stout-O’Leary Wedding February 7, 2009
Midnight Hour is Fantastic! They brought such an atmosphere of fun, excitement, and happiness to our wedding reception. All of our guests commented on how spectacular the band was, and how they made the event 'above and beyond' any other wedding that they had ever attended. The musical abilities of the band members and the variety of vocals makes almost any song you would like available for you to use - including the theme song from "The Simpson's," which the band played as we entered the ballroom. Additionally, Pepper (the band leader) brought a ton of great ideas when we met with him to discuss our reception, and he worked with us to bring creativity into the Father/Daughter dance, our entrance song, the bouquet toss, and our first dance. They are so much fun to work with and we would use them again in a heartbeat!
Thank you so much!

Thanks,

Belle Voir Manor: Wieczorek-Greblunas Wedding November 1, 2008
We absolutely loved having Midnight Hour play for our wedding. I can't tell you how much John and I LOVED the music!!!!!!!!!!! Our guests were telling us throughout the evening (and long after the wedding) how much they enjoyed the music and thought you guys were fabulous. I'm so excited that you will be playing for my brother's wedding in July 2009...as John and I will get to groove to Midnight Hour again!!!
Also, thank you for being so accomodating to our requests. My dad's polka sounded fantastic on your system....I cant believe it sounded that good. By the way, you guys also play a mean polka as well! The Brian Setzer song you guys learned was perfect...literally....it couldnt have been better.
What seemed so great was that I felt like the band has a great time playing music together...you can see it and hear it!!! I will always recommend Midnight Hour to friends and family. I really feel like the band made our wedding perfect.
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you.

Midnight Hour was outstanding. Their sound was great, they played lots of different types of music, which was perfect for our diverse group, they played and didn't talk a lot, just as we wanted. We loved them, as did our guests. And, the dance floor was packed all night--the ultimate tribute!
Thank you to Midnight Hour!

I cannot think of enough superlatives to attribute to Midnight Hour. You just played at my daughter's wedding on October 4th. I knew when I heard the clip that your group was terrific, but you were above and beyond. One of my biggest fears was that no one would dance at the affair. That fear left quickly. Your sound is unbelievable, your members are talented (understatement), professional, and accomodating. There were more calls the next days than I could count. The music was diverse, not too loud, and helped to create the wedding of our dreams. I cannot thank you enough.

Currents Ballroom at the Adventure Aquarium: NACE National Conference Annual Gala
Midnight Hour was incredible! From their professionalism to their outstanding musicianship, they kept us on the dance floor the entire night. From singing along with the band, to strutting our dance moves, we had such a great time! Dancing was a fun way to catch up with all of our NACE friends from around the nation.

Hi Shavin!
Midnight Hour surpassed our expectations! Since we did not have a receiving line at the church, our plan was to get around to as many tables as possible at the reception. Our plan happily failed! We made it to three out of fourteen tables because the band had our guests (and ourselves) on the dance floor the entire night! We have since heard many wonderful things about Midnight Hour and the music selection from our family and friends and we are so pleased that you were such a big part of our day. Thanks for making our wedding reception a night we will never forget!

Dear Shavin and Midnight Hour,
Thank you all so so much for putting on such an amazing show for our friends and family last night. Whenwe saw you play for the first time about a year ago we were blown away and told everyone that they were in for a really great time atour wedding. Fortunately, you not only proved us right, but you far exceeded our expectations! You sounded so fantastic and everyone told us so. Everyone wanted to know how we got in touch with you, and the consensus was that you were the best band anyone had ever heard at a wedding! Although tropical storm Hanna threatened to make our wedding a washout, you managed to take everyone's mind off the weather and had everyone dancing the entire night...we really are grateful to you all.
Love,
Susanne & Andy

Private Residence: Surprise 40th Birthday Party
I went to a party on Friday night and Midnight Hour was there. They were excellent and really made the night. Often the band is something to have for just some of the entertainment, but not at this party! They really were impressive and the range of music really brought people together. If I knew they were performing at an upcoming event, I would go out of my way to be there!

Breck and I cannot thank you enough for your performance at our wedding on Saturday night at the DuPont Country Club. Shavin, I could not have asked for a better band leader -- I loved working with you, and appreciate your dedication as well as your suggestions. Our guests were enthralled by the band, and I had an incredible time thanks to you! Thank you for making the night so special!
Best,

Wow, wow, wow! We can't thank you and Midnight Hour enough for helping to make our reception a major success. Hope you and the band had as much fun as we did on June 14th! Weeks after the wedding, we continue to receive over the top compliments on how amazing the band sounded. You did an excellent job keeping the energy up, and everyone dancing from beginning to end. The announcements and order of events were seamless, and you didn't miss a beat. You were so accommodating throughout the whole planning process, making sure the reception flowed just how we wanted and that all of our special songs were played. You were great to work around our choreographed first dance, letting my fatherget up and do a few songs with the band, as well as making room for Mike to perform with his friend. It was truly the time of our lives! A recent compliment we received was that you were the best wedding band one of our guests had ever heard...and she's "heard a lot of wedding bands". Again, thank you for all you did and for making Midnight Hour's pure talent a huge part of our special day. I know we will be recommending your services well into the future, and I'm sure our guests will, too!
Thanks again and take care,
Paige and Mike Ingelsby

Shavin, we can't thank you enough for your phenomenal performance at our wedding at The Flanders! Everyone was raving about the energy levels of the wedding's dance floor. We can't express our level of satisfaction in words, but I especially would like to thank you for the bridal party entrance music - that was the funkiest version of the Theme From 2001 that I've ever heard. Your whole approach to our reception, from the cocktail hour to the after party, was very professional and met all of our needs. Thanks Again!!!

On behalf of my wife Allison, her family, my family, and myself, I would like to extend our deep appreciation for the work Midnight Hour put forth on our special day. I can't tell you how many compliments we've received for the outstanding job you did. We truly couldn't have asked for a better performance. On a personal note, Allison and I loved your rendition of "This Year's Love"by David Grey. I hope you add it to your song list, because other couples would have to feel honored to have such a beautiful rendition played for them.
Excellent work! Thanks again!
