New York Edge Music

What They're Saying ...

The Boathouse in Central Park

Dear Rich,

We just wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed having your band, New York Edge, perform at our wedding in October. As soon as we had met you and viewed tapes of the band, we knew you would provide the perfect compliment to our day. We were not disappointed.

Not only did you provide wonderful musical entertainment, it was a pleasure dealing with you from a business standpoint as well. You are the antithesis to so many of the negative implications applied to those involved in the wedding industry. Your personal integrity matches your incredible musical abilities, and you made our day more special than we could have ever imagied. So many of our guests could not say enough good things about the entire band, an assessment shared by us wholeheartedly. Thanks so much for everything.

Sincerely,

Tiffany and Bob Mladinich

Hammond Museum

Dear Rich, Shanti and the entire New York Edge Orchestra,

There is no other band!

I've never been to a wedding where the band seemed to be having as much fun as the bride and groom (and we had a really good time). Your energy was infectious and the proof is in the pictures!

In all the photos we have seen not only is the dance floor always full, but all you see on the faces are huge ear to ear grins!

Please, please, please send people our way for a reference. We would love to share what a great experience it was having you at our wedding!

New York Botanical Gardens

Dear Rich and Shanti,

Thank you so much for a phenomenal evening of nonstop music at our wedding. From the cocktail hour to the last song, everything was just right.

My only complaint (kidding) is that guests did not want to leave the dance floor and we had trouble getting around to them all. But that was countered by always being able to look up from wherever we were in the room and seeing the floor packed with people having the time of their lives — one of our best memories of that day.

It is inevitable that whenever people mention of our wedding we hear comments about how great the band was — to which we wholeheartedly agree.

AnnMari and I cannot say enough good things about you and have recommended you to anyone looking for a band. If you ever need a testimonial, do not hesitate to pass on our number.

Thanks again for making our wedding such a wonderful time.

Sincerely,
Regis and AnnMari (Giarratano) Shannahan

We look forward to seeing and hearing you again soon.

Love,
Irene and John Lombardi

Dear Rich and Shanti,

Thank you so much for providing outstanding music for our wedding. Cathy and I knew that you would do an excellent job and you did. Everyone raved to us about how great the music was. We, and everyone else, had a blast dancing the night away. My only complaint is that it went by so fast! We will recommend you to anyone who asks if we know a good band. And of course, feel free to use us as a reference in the future.

Bridgewaters

Dear Rich,

I would like to thank you on behalf of Lewis, Dorey, Kevin and myself for the outstanding job you did to make the wedding a beautiful, lively and truly fun evening. From the very beginning to the very end you were incredible to work with. At no time did you make us feel that we were bothering you or that our requests were out of line. Making all of the wedding arrangements long distance could have proved to be a nightmare but working with you made the decisions and arrangements stress free. It was such a pleasure because everytime I spoke with you I felt as though I was speaking with someone who cared about us, and who wanted to be certain every detail was as we wanted. I was certain that when we hung up the phone our requests would be attended to. You combine professionalism, efficiency, and organization with talent, warmth and humour.

Somehow from the first conversation we had almost a year ago to the meeting you had first with Dorey and Kevin and then again with three of us, we believed we were making the right decision. Beginning with the music played during the ceremony to the music during the dinner, you and your singers and musicians proved us right in our judgement. All of you performed and sang so beautifully that we have received nothing but compliments. we hope when you read this note you will think of us and how grateful we are that you made our New York experience such a pleasure, not only for us but for our guests as well. If there is anything I can do for you...

With Sincere Appreciation,

Ellen Krinsky (Mom)

Glenn Island Harbor Club

Dear Rich and Shanti,

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for making our daughter, Lisa's wedding the most wonderful affair possible.You are the greatest! I have never attended an affair where the band was as sensitive and as professional as you were to every detail. From the moment the wedding began, the place rocked. As I searched out guests to thank them for coming, they were not to be found at their tables because they were all on the dance floor — from Lisa and Barry's friends to relatives in their 80's. Your sensitivity and professionalism met the needs of everyone. Every song request that we even mentioned to you in passing was remembered.

My heart was especially touched when you remembered that my husband, Joe, really wanted to play harmonica at the wedding. Although he did not bring one with him and had shrugged off playing, you guys pulled one out for him and his long awaited wish was fulfilled. He loved playing and the guests loved it as well.

We have received many calls from guests and they have all been raving about the band… The only complaint was sore feet!

Thank you thank you, thank you. You are the greatest!

With all our love and gratitude,
Linda and Joe Cali (Mom and Dad)
(wedding of Lisa and Barry Moss)

P.S.

The best advice I can give anyone making a wedding is to get a great band. The band makes the wedding. The better the band, the better the wedding.

“THE NEW YORK EDGE IS THE BEST!”

We also really enjoyed getting to know you — you are really wonderful people to work with and you can rest assured that you will always get high praise from both of us.

Sincerely,

Xaviers

Dear Rich and Shanti,

Brian and I can not put into words how much we enjoyed you talent and professionalism.

Both Brian and I could not have enjoyed you more at our wedding and as my guest remind us — New York Edge Music “made the party top notch.”

I enclose some photos for you to have. And if you have any doubt as to how good you are, you'll notice in the photo with Shanti singing and my brother and I dancing the lady in yellow behind us only had major hip replacement 4 weeks prior. When I asked her why she was up when she is still recovering she replied, “the band is so good I could not just sit and watch everyone else dance.”

Love Always,
Kerry and Brian Landau

We can't thank you enough for making our wedding so extra special. The music was fabulous. Our families and friends are still talking about it. Everyone loved how you danced and sang and interacted with the guests. You involved all of our guests and everyone had a ball dancing the night away.

In preparing for our wedding there was so much to do and take care of. We wanted to make sure all of our guests had fun and enjoyed the night. Thanks to your wonderful music that was not a problem at all. You made everything so easy. From the cocktail hour to the reception everything was perfect. We can't thank you enough.

Dear Rich and Shanti,

Again, we just wanted to let you know how happy we were to have you perform at our wedding. We had a wonderful time dancing to the music, and the evening seemed to have just flown by!

There was something magical that evening, with all our freinds and family dancing so enthusiastically all around us. Shanti sang our first song so beautifully that we wish we had a recording of it for memory's sake. In fact, many of our guests still comment on how great your band was that evening!

Please feel free to use us as a reference for your band. We loved having you as part of our wedding celebration.

Hammond Museum

Dear Rich,

About a week prior to our wedding day, you gave us a piece of advice that we truly wanted to heed — once the celebration begins, its impossible to control everything... so why not just kick back and enjoy the party?

While skeptics warn against indulging in such pleasure at one’s own wedding, we were determined to stand our ground and have a good time. Little did we realize that we had fallen under the fantastical powers of New York Edge; enjoyment was inevitable.

For not only are you a wonderful group of talented, soulful musicians, you are readers and seekers of energy. Your ability to monitor the crowd and channel the right “vibe” when and where it was needed, guaranteed hours of non-stop fun (a crucial element when you set out to blow skeptics off the bandstand).

We had a blast. Friends and family raved. Your “good time” advice was obviously contagious.

Thank you.

Kindly pardon us for this incredibly belated letter. Though we could easily excuse ourselves by saying that it’s taken us over seven months to recuperate from an exhausting night of dancing!

You made a special memory all the more memorable. We won’t forget you for that.

Warmest regards,

Robyn and Andrew Newberg

Dear Rich,

Jim and I want to thank you for making our wedding such a success. We’ve heard the same statement from so many of our guests — ours was the BEST wedding they have ever attended, and we think the band was a HUGE part of that.

Since our wedding day several people have asked for your name — we would happily recommend you to anyone! You were right when you told me when we first met to just trust you. You know what you are doing, and it really showed!

Again, thank you for doing such a spectacular job — and please keep our name and (new) number for a reference. I will happily let all the other brides know that they can put their trust in your hands to make their wedding reception perfect!

Dear Rich,

A short note to tell you how very much we enjoyed your band at my 40th birthday party.

We heard you at a wedding several yeats ago and never forgot how great the music was. I told Joel years ago that when I turn 40 I want a great big dancing party — friends, food and music — I couldn’t have asked for a better choice in music!

You were wonderful!

Here’s a picture of some of you and please feel free to use us as a reference anytime.

Good luck to you and thanks again.

To Rich and Band,

I want to THANK YOU for such an amazing time at our wedding at Tappan Hill. You had us as well as our guests exhausted from dancing. I never wanted anyone sitting down and you guys sure made sure that no one did. Everyone raved about the band.

You guys were truly a lot of fun and definitely know how to keep a crowd moving. I always heard that the bride and groom never get to dance at their own wedding and I am soo happy that that wasnÕt the case with us. I don’t think I wanted to stop dancing nor did my guests Ñ GREAT JOB. I hope we get to see you at another affair soon or else I will have to throw another party...

Dear Rich,

We wanted to send you a letter to thank you again for the terrific work that the New York Edge Orchestra did at our wedding in October.

We just saw many of our family members over the holidays, and they were all still talking about what a great band we had. I know that between songs to learn, names to remember and announcements to make, we gave you guys a lot to handle. But you ensured that everything ran so smoothly that it allowed us to just relax and enjoy the music and everything else about our day.

Our goal was for everyone to be up dancing all evening. Thanks to the band’s energy and enthusiasm, you made that a reality and gave us a party that people will be talking about for a long time.

Thanks again for everything, and please feel free to use us as a reference any time. Please enjoy these pictures of the the band in action.

Lowes New York

Dear Rich,

We wanted to write a short note to you expressing our thanks for you superb performance at our wedding in September.We could not have been any more pleased with everything you did.

The band was excellent (we are so glad you convinced us to take the extra horn!) You were able to gauge the audience for what type of music to perform while adhering to our preferences so that everyone was dancing and having a great time. You were able to lead our reception through the requisite toasts, dances and traditions smoothly. But what was most indicative of your expertise and professionalism was the way you were able to handle and mediate the unexpected surprises which even we were unprepared for (ie. the Korean foot-whipping ritual).

We are extremely grateful to you for all of your services, and we ’re still receiving compliments from our guests about the quality of your music and the charming personalities of the band as a whole, as well as of each individual band member.

Our wedding would not have been the same without New York Edge there to help us celebrate one of the happiest moments of our lives, and if we were to do it all over again, the only change we would make would be to have you there for longer!

In fact, perhaps we can book you for our 25th anniversary! We hope so!

Thanks again for making our wedding day so special. We had a WONDERFUL time, as did all of our guests — thanks to you.

If you would like us to give a personal recommendation of you band to any of your clients, please feel free to give us a call. We would be more than happy to do so.

Very truly yours,
Janice and Hyeon Lee

Dear Rich,

We can not thank you and your band enough for the fabulous music you played at our wedding in September. We are only sorry that we have not written sooner!

Throughout our wedding, many guests remarked on how great you guys were, and where they could find your number.

The band sounded great — you played all of our favorites. And we particularly appreciated “Brandy.” Thank you for learning that song!

Also importantly, you were an absolute pleasure to work with, and provided us with a sense of confidence and calmness that is rare while in wedding planning mode.

Plan on a repeat performance for our 10 year anniversary!!!

The Boathouse in Central Park

Dear Rich,

Amber and I would like to thank you, Shanti and the New York Edge Orchestra for the great performance and excellent music played during our wedding last June.

The evening was a success and a lot of that is due to the music which helped keep the flow of the evening. You did an incredible rendition of Johnny Mathis’s “Let’s Love.” We appreciate you learning it for us.

Amber’s mother was trilled when you played “One More Saturday Night” as Amber was very happy that “Oh Danny Boy” was not.

We highly recommend New York Edge Orchestra to all who ask.

Thank you again.

Sincerely,

From cocktail to the final dance you did a superb job of playing the music, volume, and tempo to match the situation.While the music created the mood and energy at the reception, the band blended naturally into the event, never overpowering it.

Thank you for being so easy and flexible to work with. As you know, weddings can be crazy. But you really helped to alleviate some of that pressure. By the way, we absolutely loved the way you played “Always.”

We hope to do business with you in the future. We are more than happy to recommend yo to anyone planning a wedding/bar or bat-mitzvah. Having talented musicians like you perform was such a a pleasure.

I know its has beena a long time since the wedding, but life has been so hectic that we are just getting around to finishing off our thank you notes!

We just wanted to express our extreme gratitude for all you did for us during our big celebration! We have no complaints about anything, only glowing praise! All of our guests commented on how great you were and how much they enjoyed the evening. Even the people in charge of the Nittany Lion Inn said they had never had a band as good for any event ever!

We can't thank you enough for traveling all the way to State College to play for us. When we met with you and heard your sound we knew that you were the band for us, and we were so glad that we were able to work out a weay to have you for our party!

You played a great selection of music, and your control over the flow of the party was masterful! Everytime the dance floor opened it was packed, and everyone was having the time of their lives! It was the most precious day of our lives and I know that Amy and I both agree that you and the incredible reception that you engineered for us was a big reason for that.

Please feel free to use this as a letter of glowing recommendation and feel free to use us a reference fro the band! We will be happy to talk to anyone considering using New York Edge and thank you again from the bottom of our hearts for everything! You're the best!

Sincerely,
Glenn and Amy Harper
