Dear Band of Gold,
Wow! What a wedding! They say that a good band makes for a good wedding, in this case Band of Gold completely went above and beyond all expectations from the first song until the last.
Although your reputation had preceded you, it was love at first listen for my daughter and her future husband. From the presentation of the Bride and Groom, to the lights, songs, show and the soothing yet powerful voice of April Kelly, things could not have been better. Our guests raved and are trying to think of whom is getting married next, just to see Band of Gold again.
With all the complexities of putting together a wedding, it could be a stressful time however, with your guidance and knowledge of vendors it was seamless.
Thank you for the attention paid to every detail and the effort that you made to make our daughter’s wedding the best wedding ever!

Hi April, we just wanted to thank you and your Band again for making Joanna's wedding day so special. We are well aware how live entertainment makes all the difference in making an event successful and you delivered "in spades". We hope to see you and your Band perform in the future! Until then, stay well and best wishes! Joe and Connie Xerri 


Hi April!

Keith and I just wanted to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for such a magical night! Our families and friends were blown away by your talent, personalities and energy. We had a BLAST and everyone can’t stop talking about our reception.

Also, thank you for allowing my father and I to share such a wonderful duet together “The Prayer”. It meant the world to us to share that with our family and loved ones. I will have that memory forever. Without you and your amazing bandmates that moment with my father wouldn’t have been possible. From one family of musicians to another, we love you all and are so thankful and grateful for that gift.

We uploaded the duet on Facebook and Youtube and have gotten a HUGE outpouring of love and support! Family members even sent it to The ELLEN SHOW!
Here is the Video Link on Youtube. I put April Kelly and the Band of Gold in the program notes on the video. Once we receive our Videos and Pictures from our wedding we will send them over to you ASAP.

Simply put....FABULOUS. April and Band of Gold were “GOLD” at my son’s wedding this past Saturday. While we expected they would rate a perfect 10 I have to give them an 11...they were off the charts! We received many, many phone calls from our guests after the wedding and the one common theme was the great band!
— Larry Richek

Band of Gold was simply incredible at our June wedding. From their professional demeanor, to their music, to their interactions with the crowd, everything that they do from start to finish is flawless. April is an absolute pleasure to work with and she truly ensures that everything goes off without a hitch. We received so many complements about the music… people are still talking about it! Band of Gold truly was the hit of the party! We’re so grateful for their part in making our day so memorable.

I hope this finds you well. I wanted to reach out and express the biggest thank you that I possibly can. BOG played my Rye Brook, NY wedding a little over a month ago 6/16 and you truly made the event. Words cannot express how amazing you were and you exceeded my expectations. I knew that you would rock it but I
just cant believe how amazing you made the day and how fun you made the wedding. The new songs that you played “Call Me Maybe’ and ‘Somebody That I Used to Know’ and many more were just amazing. When you sang your solo of Adele’s Someone Like You my guests had thought it was a CD playing b/c it
sounded just perfect. You had the perfect mix of everything to keep everyone happy and having the time of their lives. The compliments continue to roll in from family and friends. Literally everyone is like where did you find that band. I would recommend you to anyone and plan to do so. Again, I could
write a book about how amazing you guys were from start to finish and I really am so happy that you played my wedding. Please let the rest of the crew know how amazing they are as well. From the bottom of my heart thank you thank you
thank you!!!
— LIz

Thanks April. We just loved you. The level of professionalism really is unmatched. First thing everyone says is where did we guys get you! Seriously the first comment we get. One of my guests boyfriends is in the music industry and has worked with several big names like Eddie Vedder, Jack Johnson, etc and
he said you must have been a $15,000 band easy!!!

April,
Wow! What a band, you guys made the wedding. Your playing, your song
list, your pacing, your acoustic playing during breaks and dinner hour,
just amazing.
Your cover of “Ribbon in the Sky” had both of my Sisters crying.
Thank you for a perfect evening.
Please feel free to refer anyone interested in a testimonial.
Regards.
— John Harrigan

Hi April!!!!!!!
I just wanted to tell you that you guys rocked!!!
You guys did an amazing job and made our wedding the best day anyone could ask for. Everything was more than perfect.
Every guest we had absolutely loved you guys and said it was the best wedding they have ever been to and that we had the best band they had ever seen.
I love you guys!!!!
— Denise & George

Dear Band of Gold,
John and I cannot thank you enough for the amazing job you did
performing at our wedding last weekend at the Olde Mill Inn.
We truly had the time of our lives and danced the night away
with our guests. When you played, “Hey, Hey Paula” we were
blown away...impeccable! Our friends and family are still
calling to tell us that our wedding was the best they’ve
ever been to and we accredit that to the fabulous entertainment...
thank you so much, BOG. You rocked the party!
— Paula & John Genovese

April-
I can’t thank you and the band enough for such an amazing night!!
You were all soooooooooooo good and really made the party!
Everyone.. and really EVERYONE couldn’t stop talking about how great you
were and what a great time they had!
If you see us crashing the next wedding you play.. don’t tell anyone! ;)
— Erin & Jason

Hi Band of Gold Members,
I just want to extend the biggest thank you for your performance at our wedding
on 9/10/11 (Laurita Winery). The music was fantastic and everyone enjoyed
dancing the night away. We received so many comments of how amazing you were.
Thank you so very much for making our wedding so special. It could not have been
more perfect.
— Larissa & Michael

April, I just want to thank you again for making Pia’s wedding the best day of her life. It was a perfect evening and Band of Gold was the main event. Most bands just play music. You and your band members not only set the mood and play the music, you get involved with a passion second to none! I witnessed people dancing that were never seen on a dance floor in their life. And many only stopped for a brief moment to take a bite or sip a drink. Many of our friends are still talking about Noelle’s wedding from four years ago. Those that were their again for Pia’s say it was the best two weddings they have ever attended.
Band of Gold gets full credit for rocking the house!
— Gary

We Just wanted to Thank you all for the fantastic job you did at Nicole and
Dave’s wedding on Friday. You well exceeded our expectations!! You made the
wedding a huge success!! Everyone has been raving about the wedding; the
beautiful bride and groom, the food, the flowers, the decorations and THE
AMAZING BAND! Thank you, Thank you , Thank you.
My husband and I and Nicole and Dave along with our guests had the time of our
lives!!
— Vic & Linda

Dear April and Band Members,
Thank you so much for making my daughter’s wedding such a memorable event. Your performance far exceeded my expectations! April, your voice is AMAZING! Your flexibility and willingness to allow my daughter sing was one of the highlights of the evening. I recieved so many compliments throughout the evening not only about your voice but your ability to mingle and get everyone on the dance floor.
I’ll be sure to recommend you to anyone needing a band for their wedding. I hope I have the priviledge to hear you play again.
— Eileen Mills, Mother of the Bride

I just want to tell you what a great time everyone had at the Pleasantdale Chateau this past Sunday, June 5th.
The Band of Gold was just fantastic and it was worth waiting 11 years to hear you and the band perform again.
You made our daughter Tracey’s special day even more special.
You are all very professional skilled musicians and everyone left telling me “that band was great.”
You can be assured, I won’t be waiting 11 years again to hear April, and the Band of Gold, since I have three more weddings to plan and you will be the band of choice.
Thanks again for making a wonderful event even more enjoyable.
— Frank, Father of the Bride

I cannot thank you enough for the incredible job you and the rest of Band of Gold did last night!
I had never heard you guys perform before, but my in-laws have been raving about you since the day I met them (you performed at my sister and brother-in-law’s wedding 3 years ago), and last night you were better than I ever could have imagined. So many of my guests told me last night and again this morning that you guys were the best band they had ever heard and I totally agree! From the song selection, to the band coming out onto the dance floor and interacting with the guests and vamping when I was missing when it came time for cake cutting you guys were incredible. I hope you didn’t mind being picked up by 2 very excited groomsmen! I will recommend you to anyone I know who’s have a wedding or other party in the future.
Thank you for being a part of the happiest day of my life!
— Amy

Thank you so much for helping to make July 25th one of the best days of my life! Matt and Sherry were so certain that they wanted your band at their Wedding and now I know why. Every guest I spoke to had such a wonderful time. I was especially touched with your renditions of Cinderella, What a Beautiful Life and Sherry Darling. They all sounded like the original artists! Amazing. The music and choreography for everything was so good. Thanks for an providing Sherry and Matt a wonderful wedding.
— Joe Sikora Father of the Bride

Thank you!
April, Terry, and the WONDERFUL Band of Gold-
I know Scott sent you an e-mail, but I didn’t get to write it, so I had to send another one! I have never had so much fun dancing! You guys are AMAZING! Your voices, your musical skills, your upbeat energy, your style...everything was just PERFECT! Thank you for making our wedding SO SPECIAL! I hope to hear you play again soon!
— Adria

We cannot even begin to describe the feedback that we have received from guests
regarding your performance at our wedding this past Friday. You kept the dance
floor rocking the entire evening and I even heard one of my co-workers say that
she has NEVER seen her husband dance at a wedding and they have been together
for 30 years!
We have a few friends and family in the wedding planning process now so I hope
you will be able to gain some additional business! But we just wanted to drop
you a quick note and say how fantastic everything was!!!
