"Dear UT San Diego Band,

Alex and I wanted to thank you so much for the amazing job that you did at our wedding. You lived up to all of our expectation and went above and beyond, making sure that all of our guests had and memorable time.

The one thing that spoke volumes for us was at the end of the evening. The band had finished the second set, which meant the end of the wedding, and our guests started chanting "one more song". The band was so great, that our guests wanted you to keep playing.

Thank you so much for helping to make our wedding even more magical.

Shari and Alex"

"Judy and Bernie,
 
You guys did a fantastic job! Everyone loved the music and the party stopped with people wanting more. We got lots of remarks about what a great band we had. Everything you played was tasteful and very well done. Bravo! Please feel free to use us as a reference.

"Judy,
 
I want to thank you and the UT San Diego Band for a perfect night. Everything went off as planned and the music was great. Our girls and friends danced until the end..as you saw..and loved every minute of it.
 
We hope we'll have another event in the near future to have you play for. Thank Bernie and the band for us...we appreciate everything.

"Hi Judy,
 
You guys sure lived up to your name - you were FABULOUS! So many people have commented to Matt and I that you all were just amazing and I know that they are telling the truth because I don't think that dance floor was ever NOT packed the whole night! Matt and I were SO happy with the choice we made with you all, it was honestly like the fun never stopped! We have so many great pictures of everyone dancing that we don't know how we'll choose between them! Our friends keep saying that they wish we could have a repeat of that night, and Matt and I agree! We know some friends booked you for their wedding, and we are so excited 'cause we can't wait to hear you play again!
 
Best wishes to you all, and thanks for helping to make our wedding a hit!
 
Love,
Matt and Nicole"

"Judy,
 
Your band is awesome! All of your band members are great and it was a particular pleasure to work with you and Bernie. The band made a big difference to our usual boring DJ party. This was the biggest turnout and the most people danced for the longest ever. The City Manager and his wife and the Mayor and his wife were even dancing - that never happened before. Thank you so much for the great time.

"It is a consensus that The UT San Diego Band made the reception a real party! Fletcher and I both had a blast as did the guests dancing the night away. Playing the perfect combination of oldies and modern hits, the music appealed to everyone getting the whole crew out on the dance floor for a night of celebrating! Thank you!!
 
We so enjoyed you guys and I wanted to thank you for letting my dad and brother play Rocky Top and The Eyes of Texas. That meant the world to us and them. You guys were awesome!!

"The UT San Diego Band.
 
How can we ever thank you for making our wedding exactly what we had hoped for...a fantastic party...a joyous celebration. We had the time of our lives, thanks to your band.
 
I have always thought the music is the single most important element to a successful party and your band nailed it! We have received numerous compliments on how great the band was, how the song selection was, and what amazing talent the vocalist and musicians had. There wasn’t a single song where the dance floor wasn’t jam-packed.
 
From friends and family, young and old, everyone agreed the UT San Diego Band made the party! And we thank you for that! I would recommend you to anyone looking for a fun, energetic band that plays great music.
 
Thanks again, Chris and Mandi"

"Dear Judy & Bernie:
 
The UT San Diego Band made our wedding! You played the best music of our generation, and intuitively connected with our guests, as if each of you had been part of our circle of family and friends, forever. When Judy sang "You’re the Best Thing," she made me believe Gladys Knight, herself was at that mike. From start to finish, there wasn’t anyone who wasn’t rocking on the dance floor, wishing it would never end!
 
Here's hoping you’re there for the party, when we re-say our vows.
 
Thanks so very much!
Carla & Bernie"

"Hi Judy,
 
Wow! Again, a great event. I love your band. You are very versatile and did a fine job with our bar mitzvah. I felt completely confident that you could handle "MC"ing the event, and you didn't disappoint me.
 
I focused the entire party on greeting and mingling with my guests. I could do this ONLY because YOU handled everything else; the timing, the announcements, the songs and games and definitely, all the kids. I'm very proud of you and I'd love to recommend you whenever possible. Great Job!
 
Warmest regards and a BIG Thank you,
Cindy"

"Hi Judy,
 
You guys were great!
 
My wife and I have different tastes in music so I thought finding a band we both liked would be impossible. But the UT San Diego Band were perfect! They helped us come up with a song list we liked and during our reception they kept our guests on their feet with great tunes.
 
Carl and Monica"

"Hi Judy,
 
The bar mitzvah was a great success.
 
You guys made the party a truly memorable occasion. Our guests, children and adults alike, loved the band. Everyone had a blast. The freeze dance, name that tune and other games were so much fun for the kids. The planning that you did with us ahead of time was very professional and helped to make it a party that we felt good about. The band sounded great. The set list had tunes for all ages and the sound, arrangements, vocals and instrumentalists were all first rate.
 
Keep playin' that rock n roll.
 
All the best,
Ned"

"Thanks for doing such a great job at our wedding!
 
You guys were "fabulous", fun, and very accomodating! The personal attention and extra effort was greatly appreciated and put me at ease leading up to the big day! The band's performance was spectacular and the dancefloor was full the entire night! Many of our guests said that our wedding was the best they had ever been to, and they commented on how great the band was! Thank you so much for everything!
 
(and thank you especially for backing me up during Natural Woman...my voice was shot by that point...too much crying and screaming and talking all week!)
 
You guys really were great and thank you so much for working so closely with us and for letting my family "do our thing"!!! Bern-dog, you rock!
 
Sincerely, Brooke"

"We had a great time! Everyone kept asking me where we got the band from. They thought you guys were great! People kept saying that they hadn't seen the bride and groom have so much fun at their reception before. It was definitely due to you guys. I knew that I didn't even have to think about anything. I could just have fun! We will definitely refer you to everyone!!
 
Aimee and John"

"Hi Judy-
 
We are back from Hawaii and wanted to say thanks to you and the entire band for doing SUCH a great job at our wedding! We had so much fun and couldn't believe how the dance floor was so packed. No one wanted to go home! We have received countless comments about how great the band was. You guys really made the wedding special for us!
 
Thanks again, and if you ever need a recommendation, let us know!
 
-Maggie and Adam"

"Hello Judy!
 
You did a wonderful job with the Krasne Bar Mitzvah Reception, and you were also very easy to work with! I will be happy to put you on our Vendor List...hope to see you soon!
 
Regina"

"Dear UT San Diego Band,
 
Thank you so much for your amazing performance at our wedding in October! The band made the reception and we have received numerous compliments and requests for your information. Chris and I couldn't have been happier with how everything turned out! I know we spent most of our time on the dance floor and I think most of our guests did too because of your killer music...which is exactly where I wanted to be during the reception. I'm sure playing outside can be a challenge, but you made it look like a breeze. Working with you was a pleasure and there were enough other wedding details to worry about that it was nice that The UT San Diego Band were never one of them. Bernie and Judy knew just how to keep the momentum going from the very beginning until the last dance. We requested two songs that the band had to learn and they sounded wonderful, thank you, especially since they were our first and last dances. We had the time of our lives, thank you for helping make the wedding spectacular and a fond memory for us and our family and friends.
 
Sincerely, Chris and Sarah"

"Hello Judy:
 
The UT San Diego Band provided the entertainment for Global Dosimetry Solutions, Inc. holiday party on Friday, December 10th in Costa Mesa. I want to thank you and the band for a superb evening of music! The feedback I received from our employees regarding the holiday gathering was wonderful, and employees couldn’t praise enough the band’s performance. In the past, our holiday parties had DJ music provided which was nice, but your band “blew the place apart” with salsa, rock, disco, easy-listening and jazz. The music selection not only took us back in time but also provided a way to expend some energy.
 
The demo CD provided earlier in the year certainly doesn’t do justice to the band we saw on the 10th. Again, thank you for the wonderful evening of entertainment. We plan to call you again!
 
Sincerely,
Nancy"

"Dear Judy and the rest of the band:
 
I wanted to write you and thank you for all you did for Tony and I for our wedding reception. I really appreciate you meeting with us on more than one occasion to determine what would be played and most of all for you learning a special song for my dad. Your expertise ahead of time made the night run smoothly and your ability to read the crowd was great in keeping everyone dancing.
 
As for the music itself, everything sounded great. Tony and I must have answered 100 times what the name of the band was. The band played all types of music for all different ages. Everyone said that our band was the best they had ever heard at a wedding. I even had to convince Tony's cousin that you were not lip syncing. The UT San Diego Band were the most amazing part of our reception and I can't thank you enough for being a part of our special day. I hope to see you soon and please use our names as reference for any future clients. Thank you again and good luck in the future.
 
Tony and Mindy"

"Dear UT San Diego Band,
 
Thank you so much for playing at the Junior League of San Diego's fall fundraiser on October 8, 2004 entitled Mambo at the Mercado. The UT San Diego Band had everyone at the Del Mar Fairgrounds up on their feet and dancing. You guys were certainly key in making our fundraiser a success. Not only did you perform extremely well and were very entertaining but your help in transitioning between your music, the latin dancers and the auctioneer were essential for making the evening run smoothly.
 
Furthermore, all of us on the Mambo committee wish to extend our sincere appreciation for going above and beyond our expectations to ensure that Mambo at the Mercado was a success. We look forward to having the UT San Diego Band at future Junior League of San Diego events. Thank you so much!!!
 
Best regards,
Nikki"

"Judy,
 
It's been almost two months since the wedding and whenever we run into someone that attended they say what a GREAT band we had!! The UT San Diego Band were incredible! Your personalized service and music quality gave us exactly what we wanted for our ceremony! We really can't say enough good things. Our only disappointment was that the location limited the amout of time that we could have you play!
 
We would be more than happy to personally recommend the UT San Diego Band to anyone looking for your diverse sound and vocals and something special to add to their event!
 
Please give our best regards to Bernie and the band!!
 
Linda & Larry"

"Hi Bernie,
 
You guys put on a great show. The best concert of the series. You guys drew in the biggest crowd ever.
 
Sean"

"Hi Judy,
 
You guys did a fantastic job at our wedding. Who knew that I would end up leading a conga line! Barry and I received so many wonderful compliments about how great the band was. You even got my brother (who does not dance ever) onto the dance floor and smiling. We have so many wonderful memories of that day, thank you for making the evening magical.
 
Much Thanks,
Kelly and Barry
 
P.S. You guys did a great job with the two songs that we had you learn. My dad was really touched by your rendition of "You've Got a Friend" I can't wait to see the video!"

"Dear Judy (and the rest of the UT San Diego Band):
 
We wanted to thank you all for your magnificent performance at our wedding. We had the night of our lives and the UT San Diego Band made a significant contribution to the overall success of the night. Many of our guests commented on how great the band was and we certainly agree. We could not have been more pleased with the music and the performances. So, thank you again for your attention to our desires, helping us run the show that night, and for helping our wedding become a wonderful memory. We would recommend you all to everyone!
 
Best regards,
Laurie & Mike"

"Judy,
 
First and foremost, YOU GUYS WERE AWESOME!!!! Things could not have gone smoother with you. Not only did you guys completely rock at the wedding, you were extremely professional and easy to deal with at every stage of the wedding process. In fact, everyone was commenting on how much energy you all had and how much fun it was to dance to your tunes. I will certainly recommend you guys to my friends and I am happy to have you use me as a reference anytime. I have nothing but the highest regard for the UT San Diego Band.
 
Also, I will see if I can get you some cool pictures of you guys up on stage at the wedding. It was so neat seeing all nine of you on that big stage rocking out!
 
Again, you guys were truly a highlight of our wedding. Thanks for everything!!!
 
Best regards,
Dave"

"Hi Judy,
 
You all did a wonderful job and sounded great! I'm sure we will work together again...
 
Both - the Bride and Groom were really happy - I will keep the UT San Diego Band in mind when meeting with future Brides!
 
Thanks again,
Loree"

"We got lots of compliments on your band from all the guests - they all said they thought you guys were the best band they've seen at a wedding, and could tell that you were having a good time. Thanks for doing such a great job! It made the evening a lot more fun. And yes I did have a great time dancing that night!
 
Thanks again Judy!
Ahn Marie"

"Dear Bernie,
 
We want to let you know how pleased we are that we chose the Ultra Tones for Kim and Peter's wedding reception. Bernie, you really listened to what Kim, Peter, John and I wanted and there is not one complaint from us, except that our feet sure hurt the next day from dancing too much!
 
We heard many praises from our friends and family about the band throughout the evening. People were on the dance floor who haven't danced in years. Everyone was talking the next day about how they loved the music. It was quite a testament to the talent of The Ultra Tones and your ability to find the pulse of the gathering.
 
You were so courteous, professional and a lot of fun; yet kept us on schedule even with all the last minute changes that needed to be made. We've had so many compliments on what a fun party it was.
 
It was quite a celebration and thank you for helping make it so. We can't wait for another occasion to call upon you again.
 
Regards,
Toni"

"Hi Judy!
 
Hey, thanks for letting my brother, Kevin, and I "sit in" with you guys a couple of weeks ago at The Chargers Blood Drive. You guys sounded great! I will let our 10am producer know about you guys, and maybe we can book you to play on one of our newscasts!
 
Thanks again for letting me 'share the mic'!
Kimberly."

"Hi Bernie-
 
Thank you so much for making our wedding day so special! You and your band were wonderful. I truly felt like a Princess! The music you and The UT San Diego Band played really added a lot of Class to our event. It wouldn't have been the same without you there.
 
You definitely helped us through all of the various events and kept everyone on track. Thank you for being flexible, energetic, professional, fun, and so much more!
 
We will definitely recommend you to anyone and everyone! I truly believe that meeting you and hearing about you was a true gift from God. You made things happen for us and you didn't even know us. This is a true act of kindness and generosity on your part.
 
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
 
God Bless you and all of your families,
Lori & Danny"

"Dear UT San Diego Band,
 
You were Fabulous! Hoped you liked our event as much as we liked YOU! We'd LOVE to have you back!
 
Gratefully,
Chris and Friends"

"Dear Bernie and your UT San Diego Band,
 
You did a fabulous job at Wendy's wedding!! I can't tell you how many compliments you got from our friends, and of course, you could tell by all the dancing how much everyone enjoyed your music! Please thank all of your group for me - I loved your female singer's voice & upbeat friendliness - your enthusiasm and talent truly made the party memorable. Many thanks! Wendy and Joe loved every minute. I'm so grateful she chose you, and I wish you all success in the future.
 
My best,
Nancy"

"Bernie,
 
Thanks for all your help with the Tony Gwynn 3,000 celebration rally. The UT San Diego Band were a key ingredient to the event's success!
 
Thanks again,
Dave"

"Dear Bernie,
 
Just a quick note to thank you and your band for doing a wonderful job at our 13th annual "Just Say No" event. More people stayed later this time than ever before and I heard nothing but positives about your performance. If you ever need any recommendations, please feel free to use my name. Thank you again.
 
Sincerely,
Sarah""

"Dear Bernie:
 
I wanted to write you and thank you and the UT San Diego Band again for the job you did at our wedding last September. As music lovers, my wife and I get to hear a lot of live bands around town, and you guys were top-notch; everything from the planning to the performance was perfect. Also, thanks again for being flexible and working with us on our sometimes-complicated schedule.
 
Our wedding at the Inn at Rancho Santa Fe was unforgettable, and you guys were no small part of that. We have already recommended you to other people we know, and wouldn't hesitate to be used as a reference if you'd like. Again, thanks so much for playing a big part in making our wedding special.
 
Sincerely,
Mike"

"Dear Bernie,
 
Thanks to you and the rest of the Untratones for the great job you all did for us at the Crystal Ball. I so appreciate your willingness to work with us to make the evening so special. Happy Holidays to all of you.
 
Most sincerely,
Sharon"

"Hi Judy,
 
Thank you again for everything! The band was AWESOME!!! I couldn’t have been more pleased with all of you.
 
Sincerely,
Betsy"

"Judy,
 
We had a time dancing all night to The UT San Diego Band. You guys did a great job keeping everyone on the floor and having fun. Everyone I have talked to keeps commenting on how great the band was and that we need to have another party so they can dance the night away. Thanks again and I will see you all again soon.
