Dear Kurt & Jellyroll,
Jeff and I wanted to say thank you again for playing at our wedding on 12/18/09 at the Knowlton Mansion. Your professionalism and enthusiasm added to the best night of our lives. People are still talking about how awesome you guys were and I'm sure they will for a very long time. I will be sure to recommend you guys to anyone that asks about a band. Again, thank you for making our special day even better!

Hello Kurt and Bill,
Thank you for the great performance during our Annual Meeting. It was a fun show with songs that everyone could dance too. We certainly enjoyed watching our Executive Director and the new Surgeon General participating in the Congo Line. We had a great turn out this year and I heard positive feedback all the next day. Thank you for being easy to work with and creating a great show.
Have a happy holiday season to you and the entire band!
Sincerely,

Nathan and I would like to thank Jellyroll for making our wedding at Talamore such a success. Everyone asked "Who is that band? They are incredible!" I was impressed with how smoothly everything went: from introductions, to the first dances to the toast. The band demonstrated class and professionalism throughout the entire evening, and they played songs that appealed to all ages. I cannont convety to you enough how impressed we were with Jellyroll. I know a number of my guests at the wedding took down Jellyroll’s number to use the band at a corporate event or for another wedding. I’d also like tot hank you personally, Kurt, for being so friendly and accommodating, always returning my calls immediately. We will definitely recommend you to our friends who get married in the Philadelphia area! Thanks again for doing such an amazing job at our wedding. Jellyroll is the best!

Dear Dave, Kurt, and the Jellyroll Band,
I just wanted to drop you a little note to thank you again for making my daughter Randi's wedding such a fantastic affair. I have been to many, many weddings and Bar Mitzvahs, but you were, without a doubt, the best band I have ever heard!
Everyone was up and dancing the whole time. The entire night people were coming up to us and saying what a great wedding it was. They all said that they had never heard such a great band. All generations were having a ball!
The wedding was two weeks ago, and I am still getting phone calls about the band. I am handing out your card at the different functions I attend, as people are still talking about it amongst themselves.
Please accept my most sincere thanks for making my daughter's wedding a night to remember!
Sincerely,
Nancy Sosnow

Oh what a night! I do not even know where to start. We had such a wonderful time. I know it was a huge request to ask you to learn three brand new songs, but you did it and nailed every single one. From the first minute to the last you were such fun to work with. We love you guys!

Dear Kurt and Band members:
Thank you so much for the awesome job that you did in creating the perfect celebration for our daughter and son-in-law's wedding. From song choice to execution, everything was note-for-note and delivered with amazing energy. More to the point, all of the members of the band worked hard all night to put on a top-notch and entertaining performance. For a party of 168, at any given time there were at least 125 people on the dance floor. People loved the interaction between the band members and the guests. Everyone we talked to has said it was the best wedding they have ever been to. You guys played a large part in making that happen.
Sincerely,

Kurt-
I am sure you hear this often but for Lorraine and I, Jellyroll made our daughter's wedding a spectatcular event. I truly appreciate your listening to what we wanted for that night, and the high energy created by the music was sustained far beyond our expectations. Our guests are still talking to us about the greatness of the band!
Special thanks for making my father-daughter dance most memorable and allowing Lanny Ward, our out-of-town sax, to be with you during some of the sets. We thoroughly enjoyed the entire night dancing, listening and watching everyone having a great time.
Jellyroll is beyond terrific!

Jellyroll!
You were incredible at our wedding! All of our guests commented on how great the band was and we certainly agree. Everyone was up and dancing - young and old! It was wonderful to see our friends and families having such a great time on the dance floor. Thank you for making our day extra special.
Best,
Cara & Michael Salerno
Just wanted to thank Kurt and the band for a wonderful evening at my daughter's wedding. Before the wedding I was told have good food and drink and a good band and the wedding will be a success. It was great advice and Jellyroll was fabulous! Please thank them for helping to make Cara's wedding the perfect day.
Megan Goeller (Mother of the Bride)
Dear Kurt,
Wow! Jellyroll made our wedding on Saturday night. I heard you were good...but I had no idea. I had been told that the most important thing you do for a wedding is get a great band. So we booked Jellyroll before we did ANYTHING else. I am so glad we did! From the moment we walked into the room, we were swept into a magical night that never had a down moment. My friends called it a dance party. One of my daughter's friends declared he was a "DJ Man" as most bands don't do justice to his favorite songs. Not that night...he said Jellyroll nailed every song, and he danced all night. Your energy and personalities kept the party going right up to your encore --- the chorus of "one more time" was evidence of that!
With sincere thanks,
Lorraine Kostinas
Dear Kurt:,
What else can I say - but thank you! You made our annual event a real happening!

I just wanted to take a minute to say another "THANK YOU" so much for helping to make my wedding one of the most memorable nights for me and Mark. I was so happy with how everything turned out and the way the band just got everyone up and having a great time is a memory that will last forever.
I can't wait to hear Jellyroll again soon!
Again, from the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU to all!

Marvin and I want to tell you and Kurt and all the Jellyroll musicians how truly wonderful you made our affair. My guests were totally blown away by this great band and everyone had a fabulous time. When all is said and done, people tend to remember the band more than anything else and Jellyroll is absolutely memorable.
Please pass this on to everyone how much we loved having them. Thank you.

Thank you so much for all that you did to help make YWCA Delaware's Evening of Style a memorable evening. The event was a tremendous success, netting over $70,000 for the YWCA's programs. The music provided by Stringsations set the tone for the first part of the evening, while Jellyroll really got things rolling later in the evening. Our guests are still talking about the wonderful dance music!

I just wanted to thank Jellyroll for doing such an amazing job at our wedding at the Park Hyatt at the Bellevue. Everyone said it was the best wedding band they ever heard, and I know it to be true because I saw everyone out on the floor having a great time the entire night. You were so professional and made the whole night go smoothly. My friends have told me this was the best wedding they have ever been to, and I know that is in large part due to your performance.
Thanks,

Dear Kurt,
We wanted to thank you and Jellyroll for an exceptional performance at our wedding on December 28, 2007. We knew when we hired Jellyroll that we were getting the best sounding band in the area. What we did not know was Jellyroll's professional manner and performance. Every expectation was met and exceeded. The lead woman from the band who interacted with us, her name escapes me, was very professional and courteous. It was a pleasure working with her. Everyone from Brandywine Valley Talent made our event less stressful. Though our whole day was perfect the one thing our guests are still talking about is Jellyroll's performance. Jellyroll was the first thing we booked when planning our wedding and it was the best choice we made. We would highly recommend Jellyroll for any event someone was planning. In fact, we have already talked about having a party so we can have Jellyroll perform again. Thank you again and if you ever need a reference please use our name.
Sincerely,
Erica & Paul Baginski
Jellyroll,
We would like to thank you all for the wonderful sharing of our wedding day on June 17th at Appleford Estates. You truly made it perfect! Kurt, I would especially like to thank you for staying with me on the negotiations with Appleford Estates this summer. I was convinced that we could hammer out a compromise without compromising the quality! Well, you did it in spades! Everyone continues to tell Wendy and I how much they enjoyed their time and particularly how much they loved the band. Several have asked for your phone number, which we have gladly forwarded. I for one am glad I did not compromise when it came to talent and we got what we paid for- THE BEST! My only regret is that our wedding was on a Sunday, and I think people cut out earlier than if it had been on a Saturday. Again, Kurt, please thank the band for us. You were not only excellent, but the bands warmth made us feel like you were an extension of our family.
Warm regards,
Tom and Wendy Coleman

Dear Jellyroll,
Wow! Tim and I would like to sincerely thank you for making our September 9th wedding a huge success! You were so accommodating and very professional. I knew that a great band was a key ingredient to ensure a successful wedding but you all far exceeded my expectations! One of my favorite moments from that day was looking on the dance floor and seeing it completely packed with our guests. A great time was had by all! We would certainly recommend you to anyone looking for a sensational band for any event!
Sincerely,

Dear Kurt,
I've been meaning to write since David and I got back from our honeymoon and tell you how pleased we were with Jellyroll. You were fabulous and our guests are STILL talking about you! The songs you chose and those you learned for the nigh were just amazing.
Lisa, one of my bridesmaids, has a column published on StatenIslandLive.com, the website of a local newspaper on Staten Island and she wrote all about you guys and included a link you your website...I included the link to her blog below. She has a pretty big following and is a bit of a local celebrity so maybe you'll get some business from it (not that you guys need any more business!)

Hi Erica,
I just wanted to drop a note to Kurt and tell him that we really enjoyed Jellyroll playing at our wedding on February 3rd. They were fabulous! And we are still getting remarks from our guests of how much of a fun and exicting band you are. And we are going to a wedding in June at the Crystal tea Room that we heard Jellyroll will be there and we are looking forward to it.
Thanks again for a tremendous job and looking forward to seeing you guys again!
Sincerely,
Shannon & Jim Barbacane
Dear Kurt,
Thank you so much for helping us create the perfect wedding! Your patience and efforts towards planning our reception made us feel like we were your only clients. You listened attentively to all of our requests and presented a performance that was beyond our imagination.
Jellroll is the best! From the first time we saw them, we knew that no reception would be complete without you providing the soundtrack. We always thought that we would have a d.j. at our reception, because variety and authenticity were very important to us. Jellyroll is the only band that can make that possible. It is truly an unbelievable talent that Jellyroll can present the sounds from Michael Jackson to the Tempations and make each song sound as if the star was present in the room. The band was friendly and energetic and has become the topic with many of our guests. Our guests were so thankful for being able to dance the night away.
We have had multiple guests discuss booking Jellyroll for their own receptions. Even though your performance spoke for itself, we will continue to recommend your talents to friends and family members alike.
Sincerely,
Kelly & Jeff McIlvaine

Dear Kurt,
On behalf of Vision for EQuality, Inc., we would like to thank Jellyroll for an incredible performance at our 10th Anniversary Celebration at the Hyatt-Regency at Penn's Landing on October 5, 2006. Your professionalism during preparation for the event was exceptional and presented itself in your performance. Without doubt, your music was one of the most enjoyable part of the evening, demonstrated by the numerous compliments we received for choosing such a fantastic band. From the soothing jazzy songs being played during our cocktail hour to the bright, exciting music that brought everyone to their feet at the end of the night. Jellyroll definitely played a large roll in making VFE's 10th Anniversary Gala a fun and fantastic event.
Best Wishes for Jellyroll's performing career, and we hope to see all of you at another VFE event.

Kurt,
Thanks so much for making our wedding such a success!! Our friends are still talking about it!! Of course, we knew what to expect....that's why we chose Jellyroll! From the moment that the doors opened and the music began we felt the excitement in the room. The bride and groom dance to Natalie and Nat King Cole was superb! Thanks for learning it. Also, thanks for working with us during our crazy antics on stage and the Soul Man Review!!! Your final song (being a fast dance and not "Last Dance") was the end of your accomplishments. IF anyone needs a referral do not hesitate to give them my number!!! Best wishes for many more successful years and I'm sure we will be seeing you again.
Thanks,
Sharon Taylor
Kurt & Band Members,

Jellyroll performed at our daughter's wedding on Saturday, July 22 at Cescaphe's Ballroom, and they were amazing!!!!!!! We are in awe of each and every member of the band. We have received so many compliments about Jellyroll during that evening, by phone, email, thank you notes, etc. They were truly a class act and added so much to our already awesome wedding. We were so totally thrilled with our choice of bands for Nicole's wedding. Thank you for making our daughter's day so special!!!!! Your reputation precedes you; however, should you need a reference, please feel free to give our name.

Dear Kurt,
We wanted to pass along our sincere thanks to you and the other members of Jellyroll. We had such a wonderful time at our wedding and our many thanks to you for making it so. So many of our guests can not stop talking bout how fantastic the music was. It is a great compliment to you all that even the groom’s family was on the dance floor much of the evening, and they are not big dancers. Thank you for being readily available to answer all of our questions, learning the new songs we requested and for providing us with wonderful entertainment. I will without a doubt refer you to my friends.
Thanks again,
Rebecca and David Norris
Dear Kurt,
I wanted to take this opportunity to write and tell you how pleased Debi and I were with BVT and, more particularly, Jellyroll, and your assistance and coordination from the very beginning months ago until the event itself. Every aspect of BVT's/Jellyroll's role in the event was exceptional.
From the first time we heard Jellyroll perform in Delaware, we knew that BVT and Jellyroll were just what we needed to ensure a lively affair and an enjoyable time by all our guests...And you did not disappoint! Jellyroll’s ability to involve the vast majority of guests on the dance floor all night long was beyond our expectations and contributed to the elegance and overwhelming success of the evening. The fact that almost all the guests stayed until the end of the evening speaks volumes. And everyone we spoke to had nothing but great things to say about Jellyroll.
When you couple a great venue with a terrific organization like BVT and its super band, Jellyroll, with the wonderful caterers, beautiful flowers, etc., it is easy to understand why Debi and I, and more importantly, Becky and David, were so happy with the way the wedding turned out.
Thanks again for helping to make our wedding event so special!

Dear Kurt,
What can I say? Jellyroll is absoutely amazing! The band truly made our wedding at the Four Seasons one to remember. All of our guests danced the night away, and we have you and the rest of the members of the band to thank.
From the moment you arrived and greeted us before we entered teh ballroom, everyone was extremely prepared and very pleasant to deal with. One of your singers clearly explained how the entrances and announcements were to go and prepared us to have fun. The entired night of our wedding we received comments of how great the band was. Brian and I honestly believe that you sang our wedding song better than the original artists. The entire night was so much fun and the energy that the band presented kept all of our guests smiling and happily entertained.
The entire process of planning was extremely organized. You stayed in contact with us and made it so easy to prepare for the entertainment part of our wedding. We cannot thank you enough. Our family and friensd are still talking about this, and probably will continue to talk about our wedding and how fantastic everything was. Thank you for making our wedding day one to remember.

Dear Kurt,
I am writing to express to you our sincere appreciation for the extra effort you and your fellow band members went through to play at our wedding in Washington, DC. Jellyroll is by far, hands down, the best band ever. We knew it, Hilary knew it, my friends from Pennsylvania knew it, and now Washington, DC knows it. The biggest comment that our guests made to us during and after the wedding was how great you all were and how much fun they had on the dancefloor. You made the reception a huge success.
You guys have a talent and share it with every group you play for.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

We, and our new extended family, would like to take this opportunity to thank you so much for making our daughter and new son-in-law's special day so wonderful. We could not have hasked for anything more. We have been besieged with phoen calls from all of our guests raving over the band. Everyone has said they have never attended a wedding where the dance floor was packed the entire time. Your band far exceeded our expectations.
Thanks for the wonderful memories!!!!

Dear Dave & Kurt,
We at Planning Factory International want to express our sincere thanks for your willingness to work together on the Chase Center Re-Dedication Celebration on Friday, November 18, 2005. You produced four amazing groups that worked perfectly with the "feel" of each room at the Chase Center on the Riverfront.
The Ellen Lebowitz Jazz Group was wonderful in the Christiana Ballroom; guests really enjoyed mingling around the room and listening to the group.
Conjunto 23 was great in the lobby; their dancers were extremely enthusiastic and quite talented!
The Tony Forliano Jazz Group was terrific; they were the perfect group to entertain guests in the Governors' Hall.
Finally, Jellyroll was fabulous!! They were high energy and so enthusiastic; you had the group dancing like crazy.
Thank you again for partnering with us; we truly enjoyed working with you and we look forward to working together again in the future!
Warm regards,
Cher and Kate

Dear Dave, Kurt, and the rest of Jellyroll,
Dave and I just wanted to take a minute to thank you all for the phenomenal job you did at our wedding! you all went so far above what we could have ever wished for- from Beyonce to Springsteen and everything in between, we barely got off of the dance floor! Our guests still haven't stopped talking about "the best wedding ever," and this was due in no small part to all of the awesome music. Thank you all for our hard work, flexibility, and positive attitudes. You truly helped give us the wedding of our dreams!
Thanks!

Dear Jellyroll,
Mike and I want to thank you so much for the truly unbelievable performance at our October 1st wedding. The one consistent comment we received was how unbelieveable the band was. You made our special day that much greater, and for that, we are truly grateful. We hope to see you at another wedding so so we can enjoy your band again. Thanks again for being so amazing!

Dear Kurt and the rest of the Jellyroll band,
Thank you so much for making our wedding such an amazing event! Your enthusiasm, professionalism and sheer excitement engaged all of our guests, the effect of which was tremendous. There was little room left on the dance floor! It truly was a party and a joyous celebration! Thank you for encouraging and listening to our input and especially playing Sweet Caroline for my niece - you have a BIG fan in a 3 year old from Indiana! You were a joy to work with and made this big wedding detail an easy process!
Above all, many thanks to each of you for sharing your remarkable talents with all of us - you are truly gifted and your music has the ability to transcend the ages… we felt so lucky to have you there celebrating our special day.
We are looking forward to seeing you all soon - and celebrating many other happy occasions!
Thanks again for everything! Bravo!

Kurt,
I can't thank you and Jellyroll enough for all that you did. Our reception was perfect thanks to you and the music your amazing band was able to produce. Learning our wedding song and my own request for my wife was exceptional. We were worried that no one would dance, but it turns out that we had people on the floor all night, especially our guests from overseas who couldn't believe their ears. You guys were my wife's first choice and first decision when we became engaged and I completely understand why she quickly locked you in for our reception.

Chris and I really just wanted to e-mail you to thank you and the band for making our wedding such a great time. The music saved the day. We just got back from our honeymoon last Tuesday! The band is AWESOME and we have gotten rave reviews from all who attended…Thanks for letting my dad play with the band, it was a blast and really meant a lot to myself and him. Not too shabby, right? He did well.
Thanks again, looking forward to seeing the band very soon!!!!

Everyone loved how the singers came down to the dance floor and were so interactive with everyone in the crowd! The song selection was great...everything was amazing! So many people commented on Jellyroll being the best band they had ever seen at a reception... Thank you for contributing to the best day of our lives!

I cannot begin to thank you and Jellyroll enough. Our wedding on March 19th was amazing, it was such a fabulous party and it wouldn't have been the same without Jellyroll.
Working with you was so great, you made everything so easy and everything turned out exactly as we had hoped. The dance floor was packed all night and that was exactly what we had wanted at our wedding.
Everyone had a blast- I am not usually on the dance floor...and I barely left the dance floor all night! We are still getting raves from our guests about how amazing Jellyroll was.
From the introductions to the very last dance, every note was perfect. The song seletion was great and we couldn't be happier about how everything turned out.
Jellyroll is truly amazing- and I thank you from the bottom of my heart for making all my wedding day dreams come true!

I am absolutely speechless- Jellyroll was superb! I never had a better time myself at a wedding, and I never saw people interacting with a band as they did last evening at The Rittenhouse. It was the energy and talent of the band that made the evening a resounding success. Everyone remarked that the band was the best! There truly was something for everyone. I would encourage anyone considering an event to turn the evening over to Jellyroll for a guaranteed fabulous time! Thank you and the bandmembers so much!

Your performance was incredible...the dance floor was packed...and nobody wanted to leave...but the way you helped us through all of the planning, and accommodated our every request is what we will always remember.
From timing the background piece behind my speech, to learning new songs for the "Father/Bride" and "Mother/Groom" dances, to getting my son on-stage to sing Mustang Sally, you were there for us on this very special day.
Judy and I want to thank you all from the bottom of our hearts. You helped make our special day perfect, and we will never forget it.

It is now a few weeks after our March 15th wedding, and neither we, nor our family and friends, can stop talking about what a terrific day it was! Several people have told us that our wedding was one of the best and nicest that they had ever been to, which is quite flattering. We believe that a major contributing factor in making the night such a success was Jellyroll, the quality and variety of the band’s music, and the professionalism and high-energy of its performers. From the beginning to the very end of the reception, the dance floor was packed with guests of all ages. Not only were we impressed with how the band was the life of the reception, but also with how the band, through its music selection, catered to our guests. In particular, Brenda’s parents and relatives, who are from Ireland, were amazed at how well Jellyroll played the couple of Irish songs that we asked you to learn. Also, the band worked extremely well with The Downtown Club, taking care of a lot of the "behind the scenes" aspects of the wedding in order to coordinate a seamless and smooth transition as the night progressed. Again, thank you for all that you did to allow us to truly enjoy and take part in the most memorable day of our lives. You and your band, Jellyroll, will always be highly recommended by us.

Also, it was a pleasure working with you during the wedding planning process… Thanks again and we will be raving about Jellyroll to all our friends!!

We had practiced Mighty Love listening to the record and when you guys played it we thought we were listening to the record. You nailed it. Again, thanks! After having been to a wedding with a DJ it brought into focus how much your band brought to the table to make the night what it was.

I can’t tell you how many people asked us, "How were you able to find them?". You guys were worth every penny we spent and more. The wedding reception would never have been as great without Jellyroll. Everyone was dancing up a storm from beginning to end. The music and vocals were unbelievable with a great mixture of both slow and fast songs., The rhythm and acapella singing were simply something to behold! Anyone would be crazy not to contact you and Jellyroll before they made their final decision on the right band for their occasion or affair! You guys are "THE BEST OF THE PHILLY AREA" band by far!

Jellyroll is an amazing band!! They produced sounds that are not only mind blowing, but left the crowd with goose bumps. I was absolutely in awe as to how they sounded exactly like ABBA/ Aretha/ Alicia Keyes/ Beatles/ Harry Conick, Jr. They appealed to everyone in the room of all ages. Their variety of song and sound includes an extremely broad range. The band was very friendly and a real pleasure to work with. It is months later and our friends of all ages, including the twenty-somethings and the sixty-somethings are still telling stories of the band. You can not go wrong with this band: they are the best you can get.

I just wanted to drop you a note letting you and the other members of Jellyroll know how much we enjoyed your performance at the First USA Riverfront for Computer Sciences Corporation's (CSC) 4th Annual Holiday Event which was held on Friday, December 14, 2001. As you know (since you also played for our Company's Holiday Event last year), our turnout for the Event is fairly large (approx. 600 attendees). Also, the age group of the attendees span from early 20's to early 60's. In having such a large and diverse group of people, it is very difficult to play the right mix of music to satisfy the majority of attendees. However, this has been no problem at all for Jellyroll. Jellyroll amazingly keeps the dance floor packed all night long. The CSC Holiday Event is Committee strives each year to put together a very memorable and enjoyable event for the employees and we could not do it without such a wonderfully talented group of musicians, vocalists and road crew. Thanks so much for making our event a success!!!!!.

After hearing you at the wedding we completely understand. Jellyroll is definitely the best. You absolutely made the wedding a smashing success. You are entertainment personified. Your singers have incredible voices and the band is beyond words. Our guests are still talking about the awesome band we had. Because of you we are still smiling today.

Jason and I just wanted to let you know what a tremendous job the band did at our wedding. When we first saw you play, 18 months ago, you were excellent but somehow you even managed to excel beyond that. On a few occasions I took a moment to step back and watch. I was thrilled to see that everyone was up dancing and having a great time. You did a wonderful job of interacting with the crowd and playing a broad spectrum of music that everyone enjoyed. You also made it very special and fun for Jason and I. Since the wedding, several guests have commented about how great the band was and that the wedding was one of the best ever. I can confidently say that Jellyroll played a huge part in this success and in fact "made the event". Jason and I would like to express our warmest appreciation and thanks for making our day so memorable.

We want to thank you and all of "Jellyroll" for the absolutely wonderful performance at our Wedding. You all exceeded our expectations and made our Wedding reception so much fun! Your group is, in our opinion, the best! If you ever need a reference, call us!

Matt and I would like to thank you for helping us to put on a great wedding. We believe that a good band is a crucial ingredient for a successful wedding and you definitely met our expectations. We noticed that people were constantly dancing. You also encouraged guest participation. You performed our wedding song excellently, which meant a lot to us. Most importantly, the entire band arrived well before the guests despite the fact that we had a major snowstorm hat day. We also received many compliments on your performance from our guests.

We just wanted to thank you and the band for doing such a great job at our wedding! You made planning the music for the wedding reception so easy and the results were amazing. When people tell us that it was the best wedding they've been to, we know that a huge reason was the fantastic job that the band did. The dance floor was never empty and many of our guests said that the music sounded as if it was being played by the original artists! Everyone had a great time and we can't thank you enough for the spectacular job you did. Thank you so much for making the trip up to New York and making our wedding unforgettable!

To all the band members of Jellyroll,
Wanted to thank you for making my daughter's wedding a huge success. Everyone who came up to me at the wedding told me they thought the band was phenomenal. Many asked me for the bands name and information. Once again, you were unbelievable!

Kurt,
Thank you for making our Wedding Day so perfect. Our guests are still raving about how great you guys were at the Reception. Your performance at our reception is one of the most memorable parts of the whole day. Our guests keep commenting how it was the best wedding ever and I can honestly say that Jellyroll is one of the main reasons for that. Thanks for everything!

Dear Kurt & Jellyroll,
Thank you so much for making our August 1st wedding so special! You are an extremely talented group of musicians, and we feel honored that you were a part of our big day! All of our friends & family commented on how wonderful and fun the band was!
Sincerely,
Jeff & Nicole Bowlby
Kurt,
I realized I never had the chance to thank you and the band for your performance at our wedding on May 18, 2008. I can't tell you how pleased we were with everything. You and the band went above and beyond our expectations and provided an extraordinarily fun night for our guests! More than two months later, we are still receiving compliments on the band. Our goal that night was to make sure our guests had a blast and they continue to tell us that they did!
Thank you for turning our wedding into a dance party! We had a great time and we're so grateful we were able to book the White House favorite!
Thank you also for all the behind the scenes help from everything including choosing a venue to choosing a song!

Dear Kurt,
How do I begin to thank you for making Erica & Brian's wedding reception the amazing, magical affair it was?? From the very beginning of our first contacts, you were highly professional, emails & phone calls were returned promptly & it was just a pure joy to work with you, Dave, Carole & the rest of the band. All of our guests could not say enough kudos or praise about the band, one of Brian's friends told them he "was definitely hiring you guys for his wedding." Brian then commented "when are you getting married" & he said "I don't even have a girlfriend yet, but when I do, Jellyroll will be there!!!" Thought that was hysterical...
Erica & Brian enjoyed their wedding day to the fullest & a huge part was because of Jellyroll. I am only sorry I only have one child so I will not be making anymore weddings but I can promise you I will spread the word of just how wonderful, professional & a joy to work with you were. And by the way, that picture of them in front of the band is pretty awesome! Thank you again for making my daughters wedding a truly magical day!
Sincerely,
Lauren Sperry
Kurt-
To tell you how much we appreciate you sharing in our day would be an understatement!!! You and the rest of the band were the hightlight to the best day Sara and I have ever had!
The wedding songs you played for my Mom, Sara's Dad, and for both of us were beautiful and the sound was better than we could have ever expected.
It was a pleasure meeting you in person and we hope the next time we see you it is watching Jellyroll blast the doors off of another amazing event! Take care and we look forward to catching up with you when we return! All the best and thank you again.

The band was terrific! You did it- played and sang wonderful tunes, and best of all allowed us to do Susan and Neil’s wedding party our way. It was relaxed and tasteful and we could hear each other talk. Wonderful! Our guests were very impressed with Jellyroll. There were many musicians there and people of all ages. You pleased them all. But especially, you pleased us. Thank you very much for making the long trip and working so hard to make our wedding celebration so special.

Kurt & Jellyroll,
Thank you for doing such an amazing job at our ceremony & reception. We've never been to a wedding where the dance floor was that packed all night. We only wish that we were able to dance a little bit more-but our guests more than made up for us.
Thanks again,
Al & Kerry Ferraro
Jellyroll played at my Cousin's wedding on Friday the 22nd at DuPont Country Club. They were AMAZING. Bar none, the best live musical performers I've ever seen. My wife ad I were very impressed. Thank you for the excellent entertainment.
