RE:
MC & Company Participation Breasts for Life Gala
On behalf of our past
and present fundraising committee, Breasts for Life, I wish to
commend you and your colleagues with the fine orchestral arrangements
you have provided for our Gala throughout the last several years.
As you know, Breasts for Life sponsors a Gala Black Tie evening
each Fall, with a "country destination" as our theme.
Your orchestra has blended so well and our guests have commented
year after year how much they have enjoyed the dancing, music,
and fine singers. Suffice to say, there is no question why we
have renewed our contract with MC & Company year after year.
We must also mention that we appreciate the dinner background
orchestrations you provide, and the flexibility with which you
have adapted the orchestra's timing each evening. You enable us
to complete our acknowledgements, testimonials and the separate
"theme/traditional" entertainment we present for the
pleasure of our patrons.
With our proceeds going
to the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation, and in 2006, an additional
recipient, the Markham Stouffville Hospital Foundation, we endeavour
to provide a fun filled and elegant dinner dance. Thanks in no
small part to the sounds of MC & Company, I can tell you that
our Evening in Ireland, taking place in October 2006, was completely
sold out by the end of May.
We all look forward
to another successful and enjoyable night in October and once
again raise a fine sum for our cause, Breast Cancer.
Yours truly,
Bonnie

is a performance you never want to miss – MC & Company
is simply incredible. We have had the pleasure of their presence
at our 65 Roses Gala for the past two years. Their exceptional
show, consisting of live vocals and instruments is breathtaking.
They have consistently created the perfect ambiance and atmosphere
for our guests and we look forward to seeing them again next year.”

Dear
MC & Company,
I
just wanted to thank you and your band for the wonderful job you
did at our wedding. Your professionalism and talent are to be
commended and helped to make our special day even more special.
To this day, we are still being asked by people who were at our
wedding, “Who was that amazing band that played at your
wedding?” I can’t begin to explain what a wonderful
sense of pride I have knowing that the guests at my wedding truly
enjoyed themselves and it was thanks to your help. The food was
awesome, the flowers were fresh but what made a lasting impression
on all was the entertainment you provided throughout the course
of the evening. I remember that when the lights of the Banquet
Hall came on around 1:30am, I still saw people dancing it up,
having a great time and not having any intention of going home
anytime soon; definitely rare these days.
I
loved the way you and your band were so accommodating with our
families’ musical requests (understandably not always an
easy task). No request was too impossible and the music that you
played that night sounded exactly as though it was coming from
a CD. Sherie was absolutely delightful and amazing. She has such
a remarkable energy around her that she had absolutely no problems
getting my guests up and out of their seats and onto the dance
floor. When she came up to my husband and I and serenaded us,
we felt as though we had known her for a lifetime.
The
most touching part of the evening, was the Father Tribute that
I had planned and coordinated with the videographer. While a video
played showing pictures of my late father, Sherie’s voice
provided the perfect accompaniment to the tribute and helped make
it all the more special.
Whenever
I can, I will definitely be referring MC & Company to all
future brides. There’s nothing like having a live band playing
either while receiving guests or during the reception. Once again,
my husband and I thank you for being part of our wedding and we
wish you continued success.
Sincerely,
Monica and Mike Lopresti
We
can't thank you enough for the music that you and your group provided
for Betsy and Ryan's wedding in July. Without exception, every
comment about the music was effusively positive. The music carried
the evening, never overpowering, always in perfect touch with
the mood of our guests.
You
could tell from the crowded dance floor that your (and our) song
selections touched everyone's dancing gene at one time or another
throughout the evening. There were people out on the floor that
had not danced in years. Your vocalists were terrific and the
instruments balanced the singing beautifully.
Thank
you for helping to make the wedding such a success.
Sincerely,
Janie and Robert Constantine
"Citius,
Altius, Fortius!" This Latin phrase is the Olympic motto, meaning
in modern English, "Swifter, Higher, Stronger!" Every four years,
athletes from around the globe meet with this phrase ringing in
their ears.
Winners
need internal fortitude. The desire for success must drown out
any thought of failure. Your performance at our wedding truly
deserves the gold medal.
Striking
the delicate balance between likes and dislikes can sometimes
be difficult. Two traits I hold in high regard personally and
professionally are integrity and respect.
Consequently,
I am compelled to tell you that working with you was an absolute
pleasure. You are always upbeat and upfront in your business dealings
and your music provided our wedding with the perfect ambiance
to a perfect day.
I
will recommend you to all of my friends and family. Thanks again.
Sincerely,
Paul Morassutti
This
letter is long overdue but it also demonstrates how much of an
impact MC & Company had at our wedding. It's been almost 9
months since we were married and just last weekend at a family
gathering, people were still talking about how wonderful the band
was at our wedding! Your music was one of the highlights of our
special day.
As
you know, we did not have a chance to hear your band play before
our wedding day. There were two reasons why this was not a problem.
First, one of my friends who I know to be very, very picky, recommended
you. He is not the type of person to recommend just anyone and
so I felt that the praise that he gave you was likely an indication
of how good you were. Second, on the occasions that we spoke and
met, you took the time to explain how the band is assembled, and
how you prepare for each of your gigs and what services you provide.
Your patience, flexibility and experience in helping plan weddings
were much appreciated, especially important when you are dealing
with a frenzied bride-to-be!
One
of my dreams I had of my wedding was to have a trumpet player
play "Trumpet Tune and Air" and "Trumpet Voluntary"
during the wedding ceremony. The musician that you recommended
did a superb job, and my mother still talks about how perfect
the timing of the music was during the procession and recession.
The attention to detail was much appreciated.
Too
often we have gone to weddings where the after dinner entertainment
has not inspired the guests to dance and most people leave shortly
after dinner. Not you! All of our guests danced and by the end
of the evening when you had finished, our guests were far from
ready to go home. The next day when we had guests come to our
family home, people were asking who you were and if you played
at events around the city that they could attend. Since our wedding
we have let our guests know when you are performing. I think our
wedding may have started a following for MC & Company!
Thank
you again for helping make our day a very special and memorable
one. Best wishes for the future.
Kind
regards,
Kristin and Armando Armellini
I
am writing this letter as a reference for MC & Company.
I
got married on August 31st, 2003 and feel fortunate to have been
able to hire this band to be part of our special day. They set
the tone for the most fabulous evening and we never stopped receiving
complements about MC & Company to which many people were interested
to go enjoy their music at other locations they would be playing
at in the future.
MC
& Company was extremely accommodating and always had time to meet
with us to discuss our music choices, various sets for the evening,
etc. We felt so comfortable with our band choice before our wedding
day and could not have been more impressed with the job they did
on the day. MC & Company is an extremely talented group of people
who will impress anyone who listens to them.
Kind
Regards
Terri Reynolds
