Dear Michael:
Thank you for the
wonderful music you provided for Allison and Jason’s
wedding. The strings played beautifully and the band was
fabulous – filled with rhythm, energy, and a joyous
spirit. We really appreciate it. Hope to see you soon.
Warmly,
Bruce and Laurie Kaden
Dear Michael:
FANTASTIC!!! We are still
flying high over Cori and Marc’s wedding on August 5th.
You were simply the very best. We are still receiving
constant praise thanks to you.
Regards,
Susan and Jeffrey Picklin
Dear Michael:
Thank you so much for
orchestrating an exciting and wonderful party for our
marriage celebration. Our friends are still talking and
raving about the event, and we owe much of the success to
you and your musicians and performers. You read our guest
very well, and adjusted the tempo of the music to keep
people dancing and very upbeat.
If you ever need a
reference, which due to your excellent reputation is
unlikely, Gwen and I would be pleased to rave endlessly
about your skills and performance.
Best regards,
Biff Ruttenberg
Dear Michael:
I hope your ears have
been burning. Our attendees have not stopped raving about
the amazing entertainment at the Ball. From the violinists
in the cocktail hour, to the dancers, to the amazing
costume changes, to the incredible array of music
throughout the evening, it was a magical evening. You are
every bit the creative genius that Hilary knew you
were…and then some.
Our Ball created such a
positive feeling amongst our attendees, that there is a
confidence that we have brought many of them closer into
the fold of MRIC. You clearly played a key role in this.
Thank you!!!
I would not hesitate for
a moment to work with you in the future. You are
incredible.
Sincerely,
Mimi Sherman
Dear Michael:
Thank you! Thank you!
Thank you! You and your band/singers made our November 4th
wedding absolutely wonderful. The dance floor was always
packed and filled with energy. Several of our friends
commented on how outstanding the band was. Others noticed
how seamlessly the evening flowed. You did a masterful job
of maintaining the event’s energy while creating space for
important moments like the toasts. I hope that I have a
chance to attend many more events that you lead. Please
let me know if you ever need a referral. I would be happy
to tell others what an outstanding job you did.
Love,
Stacy Sweet and Eric Calder
Dear Michael:
Again, I want to thank
you for this past weekend. Your orchestra performed like I
had never heard before. It was spectacular!
I know that your
orchestra performs well all the time, but, on this occasion
it responded even more so as the result of your leadership
and the energy that you put forth. Your effort and
consideration made this wedding weekend an event that was
most memorable and one that I shall never forget.
Sincerely,
Sheldon (Sandman)
Dear Michael:
In case we didn’t make it
completely clear on Sunday night… you are fabulous! You
made our wonderful evening perfect by choosing the right
mood for every moment… a beautiful ceremony accompaniment,
a rousing hora, delightful dinner music (so I could catch
my breath!), and great dance music of every kind. Sara and
Oren were absolutely thrilled as were all of our guests.
You are a total pleasure to work with and your work is
incredible!
Fondly,
Janet Jablon
Dear Michael:
I just wanted to send you
a huge thank you for your performance at our wedding last
Sunday night. As always, you and your entire orchestra
were absolutely incredible. You had our guests on their
feet grooving all night long (despite the sweltering heat)
and the compliments are still rolling in!
Throughout the whole
planning process and on into the event itself, you made
things so easy. We trusted you with the biggest party we
will ever throw and you pulled if off magnificently. My
parents, Bobby and I were able to kick back, relax and
enjoy the party, knowing we were in excellent professional
hands with the Michael Lerich Orchestra. Many, many
thanks, again and we hope to see you again soon at another
outstanding function!!!
Best regards,
Jamie Hindin
Dear Michael:
The excellent musical
entertainment you provided for Clair and Ari’s wedding on
September 3rd at the Standard Club made the
event perfect!
It was a very important
night for our family and the Benmosches. You and your band
couldn’t have been better. We have received many, many
compliments on the music. How could there have been such a
fabulous party without you?
We want to thank you and
your colleagues for providing us with such a high quality
performance.
All the best,
Staunton and Anne Flanders
Dear Michael:
We wanted to let you know
how ecstatic we were with all the music you arranged. I
don’t know where to start, everything was great. Several
people commented that the big band was the best event band
they had ever heard (I agree!). And the ceremony and
cocktails/dinner accompaniment were perfect. I really
enjoyed the dinner group especially, the vibes were a
great call. You hit a homerun! We also really appreciate
the time and thought you put into talking with us and
giving the evening the right musical texture. If you ever
want to send someone for a reference, we’re your biggest
fans!
Thanks for everything,
David Nadler
Dear Michael:
Bob, Zannie, Ben and I
want to thank you so much for the magnificent job you did.
Your music was perfection. Everything we wanted, you made
happen. We are so excited, happy, pleased, delighted about
the entire wedding. It was truly a wonderful moment that
we will always remember. We said from the beginning that
the music is the most important thing… and you made the
party spectacular.
Michael, it was great
meeting you and so much fun putting it together with you.
With much appreciation,
Carlen and Bob Katz
Dear Michael:
From the moment I entered
the 2005 Children’s Ball, I wanted to know who the
entertainment was. I was so impressed! I immediately found
out it was you, however you were already booked for 2006.
But things have a way of working out. You met with us and
came up with a plan to make the 2006 Children’s Ball a
success. It was the first decision I made and one that I
never second guessed.
Form the very beginning
you had a vision. You researched it extensively and you
made it come alive. The result was much more than I ever
could have imagined.
Michael, thank you for
bringing life and energy to the 2006 Children’s Ball. I
enjoyed working with you and learning from you. Thank you
for all your hard work, talent, dedication, generosity and
patience.
Sincerely,
Nancy Berberian
Dear Michael:
"It
is not often that I put my faith and trust into anything
without me specifically seeing (and, in this case hearing)
what I am getting first. But, as you said,
and as I was told by many, “your reputation proceeds
you,” and that I shouldn’t worry.
So,
with a little bit of apprehension (I think maybe a lot)
on my part, I listened to everyone and held my breath….
There
is a saying that “Life should not be measured by
the number of breaths we take, but by the number of moments
that take our breath away…..” That evening
was one of those magical moments.
So,
with a great deal of love and affection, I thank you from
the bottom of my heart for your talent, for being on the
same wavelength and…for a “moment in time
that took our breath away.” You are a
wonderful addition to our lives, and Ira and I hope and
look forward to working with you again, soon!"
Love,
Arlene

Dear
Michael:
“I
want every single person who could possibly wonder if
you are the band for their event to wonder no more!
From start to finish, the music at Melissa’s
wedding was absolutely phenomenal. Beginning
with the magnificent violins that greeted the guests as
they entered, going to the magical music for the ceremony,
leading to the unbelievable band that played non-stop
for five hours, St. Louis has never heard a finer orchestra.”
“My
thanks, deepest respect and praise for an unbelievable
evening...You absolutely made my daughter’s wedding
a dream come true!”
Fondly,
Sandy
Glassman
