What People Are Saying

It only takes a few seconds and you'll see that we love what we do. Whether it's a wedding reception, gala ball, anniversary or birthday party, family reunion, you name it - you're going to have a great time. These are just a few recent excerpts from some of the many letters to SHINE!

We had many musician friends at the wedding. We all couldn’t believe how much you were able to sound like the original artists!” ... Cindy and Rob Tobias

“I never danced so much. We were having so much fun, we hated to leave the reception to go on our honeymoon — we got over it.” ... Tom and Kathy Martin

“Our main concern beforehand was that a five piece band might be too over-powering for the room. We couldn’t have been happier with how you handled the volume throughout the entire reception. Thanks for doing what you said you would, and more.” ... Mary and Harvey Turner

“You knew exactly when to remain in the background and when to get people really moving.” ... Lauren and Ben Goldman

“It had been our experience that most guests leave early. You were the only band that we have ever had that actually kept them all here for the entire evening.” ... Carol Boulter, Tufts University

“Even the wait staff congratulated me on finding such a great band. They said SHINE was the best all around band they’d ever heard. After all the events they’ve worked, that’s quite a compliment.” ... Darlene Richards, Hammond Castle

“You took care of business so well that we didn’t worry about a thing.” ...Bob and Sheila Lopez

“All of the band members were courteous, cooperative and very talented. They played an extremely versatile, interesting, engaging and fun group of songs for everyone at our company party. We were all very, very pleased” ... Katherine Scott, TolerRx Inc.

“Thank you so much for selecting the ceremony music for us. Trusting your judgment made things a lot easier the whole way.” ... Tina and Howie Sternguard

“I realize that the many people involved in putting the party together made it a bit difficult, you did a fine job managing all the requests. Thanks for everything, including your patience.” ... Carrina Marson, Duffy & Shanley, Inc.

“We were so impressed with their talent and versatility that we hired SHINE again for the next two years. This band arrived promptly and played a wide array of music to satisfy the different tastes of all our employees.” ... Renee Bouchard, Atwood & Morril Co.

“You did a wonderful job at our holiday party. Evidence of that was a full dance floor for most of the night. Who says you can’t please everybody?” ... Patti Dion, M.I.T.

“People could actually hear themselves talk during dinner! We especially appreciated the way that you accommodated our request that certain songs not be played. Your tact was remarkable.” ... Anthony and Nina Longo

“We thought it would be impossible to get so many different age groups to dance, but everything unfolded just perfectly. Your band knew exactly when to pick up the pace with an amazing variety of dance music. You were very reliable and a pleasure to work with.” ... Janet and Tom Davis

“My parents and I would like to say that you were always attentive and responsive to the many suggestions and ideas we had. You made us feel that your band was as excited about our special day as we were.” ... Jennifer Quigley

“Thanks for adding so much to our company party. Even my boss liked you!” ... Nancy Keegan

“We have been throwing parties for twenty years and have always had in excess of 1,000 guests. We received more comments on SHINE than any band in the past. Next year we would like to fly you and the band to Dallas for our party.” ... Mark Gertsel, A.G. Adjustments LTD.

“Carol’s wedding was the third one that I’ve been to that SHINE played at. I sure am glad my friends have discovered you. Tom and I look forward to having you play at our wedding next June.” ... Linda Fuller

“Our company sure had a lot to celebrate at last week’s party, including finding you guys. See you and hear you again next year.” ... Joe Richards, TMCS. Inc.

“From the solo guitar during the wedding ceremony, to the background music during dinner and the unbelievable dance music long into the night, SHINE really was the life of our party.” ... Lauren and Tony Ricci

“When the weather started getting bad we thought the tent was going to blow away. You and the band really saved the day by keeping everything so together...kind of like the band on the Titanic. You guys were wonderful.” ... Ron and Stacey Bloom

“You really went the extra mile for us and the volume was absolutely perfect the entire time.” ... Linda and Jim Brennan
