Dear Charlie & Search Party,

I wanted to thank you in writing for making our wedding reception at the Wentworth in Salem, Mass on November 5th a truly memorable experience for us all. You went far beyond the call of duty by learning an original tune that I (the groom) wrote and asked you to play for our first dance - and performing it flawlessly. As a musician myself, I found the level of musicianship of the entire band quite intimidating. I could have sat and watched you guys all night - except that I was dancing, like everyone else in the room!

You kept our guests out on the floor (even during dinner!), and paced the selection of songs perfectly. You put our wedding party at ease when we were preparing to be introduced, and your professionalism, accommodating our various song and guest-singer requests, was outstanding.

Anyone even considering a DJ for their Big Day must see one of your sets first! We've been to a few weddings with DJ's recently, and believe me; the energy and vibe of the party that you guys create put the celebration in a whole other league. We got more comments on the great band than we did on the (custom-made) bride's gown - and that's saying something!

Hi Charlie,

I just wanted to write and thank you for helping to make our wedding on July 2nd a perfect night. You and the band were truly amazing and helped to create exactly the right type of fun and lively atmosphere we were hoping for. I have had numerous relatives and friends ask about you and where we found you. Many people have also commented that they "have never seen so many people dancing at a wedding before, ever!" We were thrilled with the variety of music you played and as evidenced by the dancing, our guests were too. Thank you so much for a great night and we hope to make it to see you guys play very soon!

Charlie-

Just wanted to drop you a note to let you know how thrilled we were with the band for our wedding in Woodstock CT. You guys were awesome. After we got back from our honeymoon and spoke with our friends and family who were at the reception the first thing they said to us was "GREAT BAND! Where did you find them?" If you ever need a reference (especially for folks who have never seen you and can't travel to see you before booking like we had to) send them out way because we will tell them that you guys are their only choice. Your card says it all!!!! Relax- you've found the band...

Charlie,

I just wanted to thank you again for the great job on Saturday night at the BC Club. You folks are terrific! Many of my guests commented that it was the best wedding music they had ever encountered. Most interesting was one of the staff members of the BC club told me that he works all the weddings there, and in his opinion, they have never had a better band! That was unsolicited from someone I don’t even know.

Dear Mr. Hunt and Search Party,

I cannot imagine a better musical compliment to a wedding than you. After the solemnities are over, it's important for the guests and wedding party to breathe, relax and start celebrating. From the cocktail music right through the multi-decade, multi -style music that you provided for our daughter Kate and new son-in-law Greg's wedding at Castle Hill on May 28, you created the perfect atmosphere. I speak not only from an "atmospheric" viewpoint, but also in deep appreciation of your fine musicianship as well. Thank you for all you did to make this wedding so memorable and please accept as well our enthusiastic recommendations!

Sincerely,
Priscilla S. Stevens

Hi Charlie!

I just wanted to send you a thank you for doing such a great job at the wedding. Everything was perfect and Search Party was even better than I expected. Everyone agreed that every single song was great, and I got hundreds of compliments on the band choice. The dance floor was packed the entire time, and as the bride it couldn't have made me happier. Also, thank you for learning all our songs in such short notice. When you ended the night with the Stevie Wonder version of "For Once in My Life," I was amazed and so happy; I guess I didn't expect you to learn it so quickly. It was the perfect ending to a great day.

Because we currently live abroad, we selected Search Party from their song list and CD, so we were thrilled to hear how amazing they sounded live. They're rendition of "Tupelo Honey" might, we think, was better than the original. They had us and our guests dancing all night... and had our friends asking for details on how they could sign the band to play for their weddings.

They also played a wonderful mix of songs and took note of our requests, even learning a new piece (and adapting another) for us. We've heard raves from everyone from my great aunt to our 20-something friends. And--and this was important to us--they didn't act like a wedding band (by giving overdone intros and such) but, at the same time, they made sure the night moved smoothly, with the special dances, toasts, etc.

Everyone in the band was friendly and seemed to be having fun on stage, in addition to sounding fabulous. I imagine that helped contribute to the energy of the event.

I'd recommend Search Party without hesitation!

Best,
Julie

Dear Charlie and Search Party,

My wife and I just wanted to thank you for making our wedding reception a truly memorable experience. We have been to a few other weddings since, and we can honestly say that none had as much fun as they did at ours. Thanks to your great music choices and fantastic performance people were dancing all night. The energy of the band was incredible! Everyone was asking about Search Party and how we were able to find such a great wedding band. We still listen to your CD in the car and look forward to seeing you play again. Thanks again for making our day the best it could be - because we all know the most important thing at a reception is THE MUSIC!!!

we were that you played at our wedding.  Everyone was raving about the music.  Hopefully we will be having another party that we need a band for so we can use you again.

Thanks,
