Dear Butch,
We could not have been happier with how our wedding went in large part due to your efforts as DJ. The party and dance floor really got going which was exactly what we wanted and you fit in a lot of our faves. Who knew the Cha Cha Slide would be such a hit?! You read the crowd really well and knew what to play to get folks on the dance floor…which meant a really great party for us! So thank you again. And you are just an all around nice guy who is a calming presence when things get a little hectic!
Warmly,
Alison (& Dave)

Dear Butch,
Thank you so much for the wonderful job taht you did at our reception. Our biggest fear going into the wedding was that no one would dance due to the size of the dance floor. We should never have doubted it because you had everyone dancing all night long. Once the first song played and you got everyone got up, my mind was at ease and the rest of the reception was care-free and so much fun.You have a wonderful talent and you are a true pleasure to work with. We would love to serve as a reference anytime and hopefully we will have an occasion in the future where you can be our D.J. Thank you again for everything!

Hi Butch,
We were extremely satisfied with the music, and you personally, at our daughter’s wedding!

Thanks so much. We’ll see you in November at the LeBlond wedding, if not sooner.– Patty

I’m sorry its taken me so long to write back – you DJ’ed our wedding April 12 at the Barney.
I wanted to thank you – everything was very well done. And I want to thank you for sticking around way past our agreed time – even after some extenuating circumstances, clothes changing, etc, etc – to play the last song of the night for me and my bride. I’d recommend you to anyone.Thanks again, Tim Hanlon.

(Professionally speaking, of course!)Mit Freundlichen Gruessen / Kind Regards.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank you from the bottom of our hearts, now collectively one, for being such a wonderful part of our wedding day.You certainly made it that much more special to us. We were pleased to find such a fun-loving and easy going “Ring master” to help us create the perfect soundtrack to our special day.
Thank you so very much,
June 12, 2000 – Jen and Russ Neale
We would just like to thank you for the wonderful job you did at our wedding. The music was great and all your behind-the-scenes help made the day go very smoothly.Feel free to use us as a reference. We would highly recommend you (as a matter of fact, we’ve done so already!).
One more funny thing. Besides seeing Dave Uliasz at our wedding, apparently you were the DJ at Shelley Watson and Ken Creutz’s wedding two summers ago. (at Lord Thompson Manor). We thought their DJ was great, but didn’t know it was you until after our wedding (Shelley told me last week).
Thanks again.
May 9, 2000 – Alicia and Adam Gove
We want to thank you for your outstanding job as a Disc Jockey. You not only crated a fun atmosphere at our wedding, but you also guided us through the months before our wedding. You were always on top of our details, which made us feel like we were the only wedding reception you were doing from the time we got engaged to the day of our wedding. As you know, we didn’t want to choose all of our music for the reception. We wanted to feel comfortable allowing our Disc Jockey to “go with the flow of the guests at our reception. We had complete confidence in you and you absolutely came shining through!On May 6, 2000 you helped make our dream wedding reception a reality. We dreamt that both sides of our families and our friends would enjoy our reception. We needed music to break the age barrier between all, and you did that. Relatives and friends who we had never seen dance at any other function were up and dancing! The entire reception ran smoothly because you were so organized. You also communicated well with us from the beginning to the end of our reception.
Throughout the night we received many compliments on your behalf. We even have friends who plan on booking you for their wedding now! We will never hesitate to recommend you to anyone in the future. Thank you for all you have done for us. We believe that music makes the party and believe us…you made the party with your music. We thoroughly enjoyed our wedding day, but especially the reception. Thank you again!

We would like to congratulate you on a job well done and also wish to express our sincere thanks and gratitude for all your efforts on behalf of the Nutmeg State games.

On behalf of the A.C.E.S. Parent Association I would like to sincerely thank you for the time and talent that you donated to our association on April 23, 1993 for our annual Spring Fling Dance. The music that you provided for us was just wonderful. There was a good mixture of oldies, line dances and more modern selections.Your gift has enabled us to take a larger portion of the proceeds from the dance and apply them towards things that will benefit A.C.E.S. students, such as the student prom.
Please, know that your generosity to our association as well as to our students is greatly appreciated.

Once again, we thank you.
