Contagious played at our wedding on June 4th, 2011 and they were excellent! Everyone had a blast and Doc was great to work with. We requested 3 songs that were not on their original song list and they played all of them! We are so happy that Contagious was able to be a part of our special day!

Hi Doc,

I think things went beautifully! Thank you and the rest of the band for making our day so much fun and so memorable. I knew immediately when I saw the clip of you guys at Brandywine Valley Talent, that you were the only choice for our wedding. You guys are incredibly talented and your passion for what you do is so obvious in your performance. For many reasons, it was the best night of my life.

Thanks again for everything!!

Dear Doc and the Contagious band,

I can't thank you enough for the amazing job you did at our wedding! Our wedding was in July and our friends and family are still talking about the awesome band we had! Dead serious! You are a group truly blessed with a gift and I can't thank you enough. Hands down you were my favorite memory from the reception and one of the best decisions we made in planning that big day!

We had a blast that night and will cherish those memories for a very long time! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

Doc,

Thank you so much for providing such incredible entertainment at our wedding on 8/28/10 at the Hotel du Pont. The band created such a fun-filled party environment for our reception - all our guests had a blast in large part to the fantastic music and energy of Contagious! You guys went above and beyond learning our first dance songs - some were even better than the originals!

Thank You!

Doc and all the Contagious Band,

Thanks so much for helping to make Kelly and Andy’s wedding reception on of the most fun and memorable events of our lives. When Kelly and I were fretting over flowers, name tags, food, etc, my husband Tom kept reminding us that people will not remember those things, but a good band will make a wedding memory. Thanks again for doing that and more!!

Fondly,

Lynda Schoeninger

P.S. Among the many comments from our guest, the one that keeps repeating is: “What a Great band!”

Dearest Doc,

What can I say? Contagious is the standard for excellence for dance bands. Every single guest at my party complemented you on your music. Because you personalized the evening for me, most of my guest thought I knew you personally. The vocals were out of this world and the excitement you generated through guest participation was phenomenal. I will forever remember how Contagious was an integral part of making my birthday celebration one to remember.

Kurt and everyone at BVT,

Please convey our thanks to Doc and Contagious. The band was great that night and we were overwhelmed that the whole band made it to Curtis Center despite the blizzard.

They brought everyone up to the dance floor even the bride's 87 year old grandmother. Everyone forgot that that there was 23 inches of snow outside.

Thanks again and we would recommend Contagious to anyone.

Doc,

The party was such a hit, but you and the rest of the band were the biggest HIT EVER!!

I can't say enough how many people commented to me on how great you all were! The vibe and the talent you all possess truly is worthy of "CONTAGIOUS"!!!!

I would recommend your band for any professional function, anytime, any place. I also called my contact at BVT to let them know how great you all were.

Please extend my thanks to all the band members for a great night!

I will be booking for next year :)

Take Care and have a very Happy Holiday Season.

Kelly

Thank you Doc!

We have gotten so many compliments on the band... you all did a GREAT job!  Everyone loved getting up on the stage... that was very cool of you to learn that song for Michael and I with such short notice... and our first dance sounded GREAT!

THANKS FOR EVERYTHING!

You brought the house down! I have had so many people call and say that was the best wedding ever and it's all because of the band. Young and old went crazy on the dance floor! I can't even believe the amount of dancing that went on.Thanks so much to all of the band and especially you for being so positive and easy to work with.I also really appreciate you learning Wildflowers. Both Cull and I thought that was a really special part of the evening. I can't believe you learned it in such a short time. THANK YOU THANK YOU! Everyone loved you! Especially us!

     I just wanted to tell you how much Contagious meant to our wedding experience.  I can not tell you how many people said to us, "This was the best wedding we have ever been to because your band was amazing!"  They kept our dance floor "crowded and sweaty" for the entire night.  There are tons of pictures to prove it!        We appreciate Contagious for their professionalism, their enthusiasm, and most importantly for the way that they made every person at our wedding feel special and important on our big day.  We are eternally grateful to them and would recommend them to any couple who wants their wedding to be a great time!

Hi " Doc"

Linda and I just wanted to tell you again how much of a fantastic job you and your band did last Saturday night at the wedding of our daughter Ellen and son-in-law Michael. From the time you started playing to the wee hours of midnight you had the crowd on their feet dancing the night away. The dance floor was always crowded with our guests really enjoying themselves. The music was great and you, Ellen and Michael certainly put together a great selection of songs. Please let the other members of the group and singers know they were then hit of the night.

Contagious - you made their wedding a night that everyone will remember forever. Thank you again for a job well done!!!

Dear Doc and the rest of Contagious,

What can I even say? Thank you doesnt seem to suffice.  You were awesome! We had so much fun at our reception.  All we wanted to do was dance and thats what we got! Our guests can not stop talking about "our band".  So many people told us you were the best band they had ever heard at a wedding.  Of course, we agree and how lucky we are that the "best band ever" play for our wedding day.  Please know that we'll recommend you to everyone.  If we can ever serve as a referance, we would be honored. 

Thank You, Thank You, Thank You,

Just wanted to extend our Thanks once again to everyone at Brandywine Valley Talent & Contagious!

Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation would like to extend a sincere thank you to Contagious for truly making the 2009 Lemon Ball one to remember. Following the night’s program, the band members showcased their talents to all the attendees, taking virtually no time at all to pack the dance floor. The music was amazing, and all the guests have made sure to tell us that the 2010 gala would not be complete without Contagious. We are looking forward to the 2010 Lemon Ball and dancing until dawn!

Thanks Again, Dave

To Doc & the rest of Contagious--

It has been about a month since your band performed at our daughter's wedding and our lives are just beginning to return to normal.

The thrills, however, that your band provided that day are still resonating.

Our guests will little note nor long remember what we had to eat that day, but they will never forget how you played that day.

Your enthusiasm for your music was -- well, contagious. Your desire to get everyone involved was clearly demonstrated and became -- contagious.

The music and vocals were spectacular. The whole experience could not have been better and we feel we owe much of that to your band. Thank you very much for making this wedding a great one. It was a pleasure to meet you all

--Mark Millington, recently playing role of Father of the Bride

Doc and Contagious Band Members,

We just wanted to thank you for the amazing performance at our wedding. The music was fantastic and we cannot thank you enough for the songs you learned to play for us. All of our guests mention how great the band was and how much fun they had dancing. I know my husband and I barely left the dance floor! You created the perfect environment during all parts of the reception. I would recommend you to anyone!

Thanks again and your love for what you do is clearly evident.

Dear Doc,

We just wanted to thank you for the fabulous job you and your band did at our wedding. People are still talking about the fun they had. We know that was largely due to you guys. You provided exactly the "get up and dance" vibe we wanted from beginning to end. Contagious helped make our perfect day even better.

Many Thanks,

Katie & Andy Humphreys

Just had to send a note regarding the band Contagious, who played at the Bandstand Saturday night, August 16th, 2008. They were AWESOME! They had the whole crowd up and jumping, and they invited anyone to come up on stageand dance, including the kids. My family was visiting us from North Jersey for the weekend and they were impressed with our town and what it brings to summer. It made our evening so much fun. They are very entertaining and energetic. Sign them up again for next year - we really did enjoy them and thanks for continuing to provide the best bands possible.

Doc and the members of Contagious!

We can't thank you enough for rockin' the house at our wedding! The songs you learned for our "special" dances were unforgettable, and your song choices really helped keep our guests dancing all night long. Our guests are still talking about how amazing our band was, and I'm sure they will talk about you guys for years to come. We would surely recommend your band to anyone!

Thanks Again!

Kara & Nash DiMarco

This letter is long overdue, but I just wanted to say how happy I was having Contagious perform at our March Dinner Dance. We had them perform last year, and as soon as I was back in the office I knew I had to book them again for another year. While I was more than happy with last years performance, they went above and beyond and made the event even better than last year. I cannot tell you the countless times people have come up to me during and after the event to compliment the band.

The professionalism of the band is also top notch. Doc, the bandleader, emailed me weeks before my event to go over the agenda for the night. He made sure no stone was left unturned. They were extremely flexible with any changes I had to the agenda, making the night flawless.

I would recommend Contagious to anyone who wants their event to be successful. The level of interaction and the entertainment quality is second to none. They are an extremely talented band. They bring an event to a completely different level.

I would be happy to recommend them to anyone who wants their guests to have an amazing experience!

Sincerely,

Jamie Fungard, Corporate Event Planner

Dear Doc,

What a great night we had! Beach Ball 2008 (Crossing The Finish Line Fundraiser) was a huge success and we could not have done it without you!

From the very beginning of the night, when you came through on your promise to be set up by 6:30, until the very end when you apologized for not playing late, you and your band were a class act! Our attendees were dancing from 8:15 on - and you guys only started at 8:00! Everyone had such a wonderful time and Contagious kept the party rocking forfour and a half hours!

We look forward to working with you again and will recommend your services without reservation.

Thank you again for helping us to help cancer patients!

I attended a wedding at Aronimink Golf Club on Saturday, May 31. Contagious played the wedding and they were fantastic! I was amazed at the versatility of the band, playing music from Country to Rock& Roll to Motown and Swing. They never missed a beat and their professionalism was second to none. I will continue to sing their praises and recommend them to anyone planning an event in the future. Great job!!!!!

Dave,

Thank you thank you thank you. Contagious was amazing and I am still hearing about it from everyone who attended the party Saturday night. I already know at least one person who is going to call to see if she can book them for a gig in September. Doc was as professional and classy as he is talented. Each and every member of Contagious gave 100% and everyone at the party was energized by them. It was the most phenomenal night and they made it seem effortless. Thank you again for everything.

With gratitude,

I just wanted to say thank you for a fabulous evening of entertainment! Contagious performed back on December 7th, 2007 for SunGard's Holiday Party at the Crystal Tea Room in Philly. I had the pleasure of being onstage, dancing and singing along with all the members of the band. The bandleader, "Doc" was such a nice guy. I enjoyed their energy! So thanks again!

~Nichelina

As Co Chair of Jingle Jam 2007, it was important to have the right entertainment to create a high energy atmosphere to "heat up the room" and enhance our fire and ice theme. Contagious brought the heat, the dance floor was sizzling and "molten hot!" Contagious is a perfect name for this dance band. They were high energy and it spread like wild fire! How could anyone be around them and not move their feet? There were people dancing I never knew would hit the dance floor. WOW-this was exactly what the event needed to take it to the next level. Thank you for providing this A+, high performance, dance, dance, dance band for Jingle Jam, and for creating a night full of dancing, leaving the guests chanting for more, more, more!

November 4, 2005

Dear Kurt,

On behalf of my entire team and all of the special guests that joined us for our inaugural Crowne Ball, I want to thank you for arranging to have the band "Contagious" perform for us that evening.
As you know (and we found out) this band could do it all!! Outstanding individual performances, fresh arrangements to familiar classics and an eclectic array of every genre of music kept our guests engaged and entertained all evening. While many excellent bands have graced our ballroom, "Contagious" went above and beyond in its performance. They were innovative, energetic and thoroughly enjoyable.


Kurt, thank you again for your help! We look forward to working with you again in creating another spectacular evening for our guests.



Sincerely,

Hi Kurt,

I wanted to thank you for all your help and tell you that Contagious was phenomenal! They made our event this past weekend the talk of the town. I cannot tell you how many people have called me or emailed me since Saturday night raving about them. They were so great to work with, so professional and so much fun. Doc is just awesome. I cannot thank you enough for suggesting them and for helping us book them for our fundraiser. I will be sure to use them again and recommend them to anyone who needs a band. Thanks again.
