Star Talent All Stars Band performed for a fantastic wedding at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel in New York.  The groom’s letter:

Hello Michael,

I wanted to write to thank you and the All Stars Dance Band for making my wedding a truly unforgettable occasion.

I’ve had so many people ask me where I found your band and say they were the best band they have ever heard at a wedding.  Even my uncles, who never dance joined in on the dance floor!

Please thank your piano player for backing up my wife’s sister when she sang “Sisters” from White Christmas for her wedding toast.  Also, the lead male vocal for joining us on the dance floor while singing Michael Jackson. My personal favorite was ending the night with “Empire State of Mind” with the view of the bright lights and the big city from the ballroom of the Mandarin Oriental high above Columbus Circle.

I will share with you pictures when we get them from our photographer, but I wanted to reach out and thank you for all your efforts.  You guys were such a big part of the best day of my life, I can’t thank you enough.

Regards,
Jeffrey

Dear Michael and The All Stars,
 

Just quick note to let you know that everything was incredible….it was truely magic. What a talented group of musicians- the ceremony music was moving, the cocktail hour was enjoyable, and the band was a slammin’ good time.

 

I received so many compliments on all of them- thank you for contributing to the success of our night. So many people told me this was “the best wedding they have ever attended” and I know you should take credit for much of the success. Can’t thank you enough. Next time I need music- you will be the first person I call. I will spread the good word in the meantime.

 

All my best,

Liz and Shaun

The First Dance "Wild Horses"

 

Star Talent All Stars Dance Band  performed at a beautiful tented wedding reception in Westchester last week.

First Dance:  

“Wild Horses” – The Rollings Stones classic, however the version requested was the Alicia Keys / Adam Levine (Maroon 5) duet rendition below:


 

 

Hi Michael!

I just wanted to thank you and the band for doing an amazing job at our wedding! You have no idea how many people have complimented the band (above all else)! I have gotten so many “that is the best band we have ever heard” comments. Their rendition of “Wild Horses” was UNBELIEVABLE!  Better than the Adam Levine/Alicia Keys version (seriously). It was so good. 

Anyway- thank you again for all of your help- they were great.  I would compliment the string quartet too, but I was focusing so hard on not tripping down the aisle that I can not remember how they sounded-! Although I also heard great things.  I can’t wait to get our wedding video so I can really hear it all!

Best,

Leah

Michael,
 

We just wanted to take a moment to thank you and the All Stars Band for making our wedding a truly memorable event. 
From the moment we met you in the office for consultation to the night of the wedding, we were impressed with your professionalism and expertise.  We knew that we were dealing with a class act organization.

 

Thank you for your guidance in helping us to select the right band for our wedding and for your reassurance during the planning process that everything would go smoothly.  We absolutely loved the All Stars Band and to this day we continue to receive compliments from many of our guests about the amazing band.   
 
Our guests never got a chance to rest or eat because the music never stopped!
The dance floor was always packed and people really seemed to enjoy themselves.

 

Thank you so much for helping to make it a night to remember.  We will definitely recommend Star Talent to any of our many friends who are in the band selection process for their upcoming weddings!

 

Best regards,
-Jonathan and Tiffany

The Star Talent All Stars Band recently performed this Jason Mraz favorite.

“I’m Yours” – Jason Mraz


As the Bride said to us about our

All Stars Dance Band:

“I love this Band !  If I had a Hundred Parties,  I’d Hire Them A Hundred Times”

We always enjoy working with the outstanding catering team at the Ritz-Carlton Battery Park.  Coordination is key between banquet services and bandleader, at the the Ritz it is always seamless and we always appreciate the time they spend making sure all is perfect.

Dear Michael,

 

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you – I know this letter is long overdue!  Steve and I were so pleased with the band and we are so thankful we met with you and hired the amazing All Stars Dance Band!

 

Like I told you the night of our wedding, I would absolutely hire them again!  We have spoken to friends who were at the wedding, and everyone keeps commenting how much fun they had, how great our band was and they want to know where we found them.  Their interaction with the crowd was incredible – the lead singer even came onto the dance floor and sang with my mother and I!  Hilarious!

 

Steve and I danced the entire night as did all of our guests – the dance floor was packed the entire night!  Thank you so much for such a memorable night!  If only we could relive that night…we had so much fun!!

 

Many many thanks!!

 

Andrea and Steve

New York Wedding Dance Band Trump Soho

The classic Louis Armstrong version of the Edith Piaf classic "La Vie en Rose"

For their sentimental Father and Bride Dance…

“a Life in Shades of Pink”, the Armstrong version was chosen

“La Vie En Rose” – Louis Armstrong  version

(lyrics by Edith Piaf who made the song famous in 1946)


But later in the night, one of the songs to “bring down the house” was:

Blame it on the Alcohol – Jamie Foxx

Repertoire authentic performances no matter what the decade or genre of music is the key any party’s success.

Industry insiders know that the beautiful Inn at Perry Cabin was the site of the 2005 cult classic “The Wedding Crashers”  film but it was also the venue for our All Stars Dance Band’s performance this past weekend.

Wedding Band Music

The Beautiful Inn at Perry Cabin in Maryland was the setting for a wonderful wedding celebration

The elegant wedding couple had selected “You Are the Best Thing”  by Ray LaMontagne, a soulful love song that our bands really enjoy playing. Great Horns, Soulful Singing and a Fantastic Groove.

First Dance Selection:

You Are the Best Thing – Ray LaMontagne


Located in St. Michaels, Maryland and long a prime destination for Washington DC Society, The Inn at Perry Cabin and their catering team helped us make a fantastic party… and they all cheered at the end that they can’t wait to have us back!

For a wonderful wedding party at the Westmount Country Club.

Dear All Stars Band,

We absolutely loved your performance at our wedding last month.  We originally booked you because our wedding planner had used you before so we just trusted her… and boy are we glad we did.  Your singers are amazing and our guests danced all night.

We really weren’t sure that we had that big a dance crowd but you sure proved us wrong. Everyone is calling and asking us about the band.  We loved they way you incorporated all of our Sinatra requests for my dad and our Pitbull requests as well. Is there anything your band doesn’t play??

You all were wonderful and I hope we dance to your music again in the future.

Thanks sooo much !
