What They're Saying ...
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

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!
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 want to thank you for making our wedding reception such a success. Everyone keeps remarking that you are the best band they've ever heard — and they're right!
The music sounded fantastic and everyone, especially us, had a fabulous time dancing to it!
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.
Sincerely,Rich,
We can't thank you enough form making our wedding so much fun.
People are still complimenting us on “how great the band was.”
Thanks,Dear Rich,
Thank you for making my wedding so wonderfully memorable. I knew you guys would be great, but you surpassed even my expectations.
I'm still hearing compliments about NY Edge, weeks after the wedding. If you ever need a reference, please don't hesitate to call.
Regards,

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)

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!”

Dear Rich and the gang,
Thank you so much for helping to make our wedding the event of the year!
There has not been one person who attended our wedding who hasn’t commented on your superior performance. Everyone had a great time and the music really helped set the tone. The way you all worked the crowd was amazing — it seemed that the right song was always being played at the right time!
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,

Dear Rich (and New York Edge),
Thank you for helping to make our wedding day such and inceredible one. You guys were awesome! We had so much fun! The music was great and your personality and style added to the fun of the celebration. Our guests loved the music (as you could tell by everyone up on the dance floor) and I have never had so much fun dancing.
We'd be happy to serve as a reference for the band in the future. Thanks again for making our celebration unforgettable.
Sincerely,

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 LandauDear Rich,
Will and I were absolutely thrilled with both the performance and professionalism of the New York Edge. Our guests danced up a storm and continue to rave about the music two months later.
Thank you for following though with our requests and helping to create our vision for the perfect wedding. Our expectations were far surpassed. Please feel free to use Will and I as references for the band.
Sincerely,Dear Rich and Shanti,
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.
Sincerely,
Thomas and Peggy DonohueDear Rich and the New York Edge,
Thank you so much for providing such wonderful entertainment at our wedding. I have received so many compliments on your behalf from the Field Club manager to parents and friends — you had everyone dancing!
Your professionalism before and during our wedding was so apparent and the selectons you chose at different times were very tasteful and never too loud. We thank you again for making our evening so much fun!
Warmly,Dear
