The music/entertainment was perfect...I could not have asked for a better band. Everyone was raving (still raving) about how wonderful FreeStyle is! I don't think there was one person left in there seat once Jennifer got the crowd going!

Freestyle was incredible! In line with all of the other rave reviews, they had everyone on the dance floor all night. Our wedding party was up on stage with them singing and dancing. Jennifer is an absolute pleasure to work with and she, OJ and Chops were incredible vocalists. A huge thanks to the entire band for making our wedding such a spectacular event!

I can't say enough good things about Freestyle. They really rocked our wedding! Their rendition of Rolling Stones Satisfaction was unbelievable. Jennifer's voice during Wind Beneath My Wings made me cry. They are fun and funky and made our reception so great! I'm so glad we decided to book them as opposed to getting a DJ (our original choice).

I loved that Freestyle was able to play a mix of R&B, Soul, Pop and Dance. One minute they were playing the Stones, the next minute Michael Jackson and then on to JT. Every song was an amazing performance in itself.

FreeStyle is just an awesome band - so much better than any of the other "Top" Boston Wedding bands I've seen. They're like a hidden gem that more people should know about! Tim - thanks so much for the recommendation!

From a guest at the wedding...

Hello,
Just wanted to say that Free Style played at a wedding we attended last night (Porter-Simons wedding in Northborough MA) and they were fantastic. Best band we have danced to in ages.

August 22 , 2009 at Belle Mer

Dear Freestyle,

I had to write this letter to tell you all how wonderful you all are. I have never been to a wedding where a band sounded so good right down to the singers almost sounding like the artist who actually sang the song. You were all outstanding, but especially the front singer and I believe I was told that his name was Chops (I have enclosed a copy of the picture I took of him). He really got the crowd into the wedding by coming on the dance floor and dancing and singing with the guests and everyone loved that. Also, every musician played every note perfectly and all the singers sang every note flawlessly. My telephone has not stopped ringing saying how they never have danced so much at a wedding. All the guests that I have spoke to say the danced because you all were so terrific. At the end of the night they were chanting more, more, more. I think I want to become a wedding crasher just to come listen to you all and dance.
I will definitely recommend this band to anyone looking for an outstanding band to play for any event.
Thank you all so much again.

Sincerely,

Even as early as this spring when we signed up to have them perform we knew that going with FreeStyle was a good decision and the attention to detail, the talent, and the friendly and courteous nature of your company, Sal and the band truly made it a smooth and memorable evening for us.

Thanks.

Wedding - September 20 30 , 2008 - The Natick Center For Arts

Freestyle rocked! They listened to our requests and played to our audience. The band members were full of energy and enthusiasm. They sounded almost as good as having the 'real' artists in the room ; - ) Plus, they seemed to be having fun, which kept the momentum rolling.

Our guests loved Freestyle, with several people inquiring about the band for their own upcoming events. We would happily hire the band again, and would welcome any opportunity to go to a gig they were playing.

The lead singer Jennifer was a pleasure to work with. Not only does she have a phenomenal voice, she is perky, organized and easy to work with.

I wish continued success for Freestyle and all of its band members!

Wedding - Sept 29 , 2007 at Wychmere Harbor Club - Harwichport, Cape Cod

Dear Sal,

As you know, my daughter's wedding was this past Saturday, at the Wychmere Harbor Club and we hired Freestyle, having heard only the demo tape that Tim sent to us. They exceeded all that we expected! They had the room rocking from the first song to the last ( we had to extend the wedding a half hour more, everyone was having so much fun). Jennifer was very professional and fun with the introductions and she, as well as the lead male vocalists and the instrumentalists, were outstanding. Please thank all the members of the band for making my daughter's wedding reception so terrific. I will definitely recommend Freestyle.

Thanks again.

Wedding - Sept 1 , 2007 at Round Barn Inn - Vermont

Dear Kathy,

Everyone told us all night long how amazing the band was. FreeStyle played a major role in making our wedding such a fun and unforgettable event. They were excellent in every way. I can't say enough great things about them. They really read the crowd well, played and preformed beautifully and even learned a song we had requested. Wilson Stevens was great to work with too- it was all just seamless. We will definitely be recommending the company and the band to our friends. We were overly impressed.

Thank you so much!

Wedding - June 30 , 2007 at Four Seasons- Boston

Justin,

The wedding was fantastic! Everything went with flawless precision. The Four Seasons had thought of everything and the customer service throughout the hotel was impeccable. You were absolutely correct! Freestyle was great and everybody was up rocking. The only problem was the dance floor was always so full that I couldn't do any fancy dance moves (not that I have many).
I will certainly recommend Wilson Stevens, YOU and Freestyle.
Thanks so much, Justin. You certainly were very professional and helped make the event perfect.

Dear Justin,

You were right! FreeStyle certainly came through and we were thrilled with all of the band members, including the vocalists. Whatever you did to put together an amazing group of talented people, we appreciate it! Our guests were very energetic all evening, which is exactly the way we wanted it!
Thank you so much for working with us throughtout this entire pre-wedding experience. We have utmost confidence in you and your production team and would recommend you to anyone! Our quests are still talking about our great band!

Best to you for the rest of the summer.

Sincerely,

Gale Ann Merle

Wedding - October 26 , 2006 at Chez Joseph - Agawam

Dear Sir or Madam:

We would like to sincerely thank each and every talented member of the band FreeStyle for an outstanding performance during our wedding reception on October 28, 2006 in Springfield/Agawam, Massachusetts.

After reading the biographies of the members of the band, we had high expectations from the band, but FreeStyle exceeded those expectations. The quality of the sound and voices were excellent. They did a great job emceeing, especially with the pronunciation of so many Spanish and Italian names. They were receptive to last minute changes and handled every part of the reception with finesse and class. Every member of the band was friendly, dynamic and professional. Months later, we are still receiving comments from our guests complimenting the exceptional performance of FreeStyle. So although delayed, we felt it was necessary to commend you for a job well done.

We also appreciate Justin Wilson, Sal DiFusco and Wilson Stevens for the timely and professional response to our e-mails and phone calls, especially at the increasingly overwhelming days prior to the wedding. We are certainly recommending FreeStyle to anyone looking for top-quality music entertainment.

From the beginning of the wedding planning process, music was one of our top priorities. FreeStyle converted that priority into a reality and into an eminent memory. Thank you.

Sincerely,

Anthony & Judy Fantone

We would like to thank Freestyle for providing us with amazing entertainment at our June wedding in Newport, RI. The band really came to our rescue, especially after we had to cancel our original band just months before the wedding. We must admit we were a little hesitant about hiring a band that was a little newer on the Boston wedding scene, but they far exceeded our expectations and impressed all of our guests. They appealed to all generations with their playlist and kept the dance floor busy all night long. We kept hearing over and over how wonderful the band was, which of course made us feel great about our decision. We also want to acknowledge Oren, the band leader, who was extremely attentive to our needs prior to the wedding and did a great job announcing names and signing the Hora. We'll be sure to recommend Freestyle to family, friends, and colleagues.

Regards,

Jon & Laurie

Sal,

We got many complements from our guests. Oren was absolutely fantastic. He made us feel really comfortable throughout the entire night. There wasn't a single mistake all night. FREESTYLE sounded extraordinary. The music selections were exactly what we had hoped for. I'm sure you will be getting at least a couple of referrals from people that we know. Thank you very much for helping to make my wedding an absolutely perfect event.
