Wedding Client Testimonials

Craig, Danielle, John, Ken and Rich,
Thank you so much for filling our special day with such wonderful music. We were impressed from the minute we saw you performing almost 9 months ago. Your attention to detail and your ability to read the crowd convinced me that Energy Express was the band for us! All of our guests now know the name Energy Express!

All the best! Deanna and Stavros Lilimpakis 2009 Wedding at Eastwind Caterers

Hi Craig and Danielle,
We just wanted to drop you a line and Thank You for making our Wedding a very special day. The music was great and your energy and enthusiasim made everyone dance the night away. In the future if anyone ever mentions to me that they need a band for their wedding I will be sure to recommend Energy Express.

Thank You, John and Moira Huggins

Craig, Danielle, John, Ken & Rich -
In regards to the band, we couldn't have asked for a more professional approach to communication as Energy Express provided. You were extremely easy to work with, even though we were 600 miles outside of New York. I was very pleased with the promptness of your response to our questions and concerns. You were open to our suggestions, and catered to specific songs we wanted for certain traditions/dances.
As for the music, it was everything that we wanted. I was glad to see everyone out on the dance flood having a good time, and singing along to the music. The band sounded awesome!! One thing that a lot of people commented on was your volume -- it was loud enough that people could have a good time and enjoy the music, but you weren't blowing people's ears away, or playing so loud that guests couldn't even hold a conversation.

Overall, the band was fabulous and it was such a fun afternoon! Likewise, I hope you guys had a good time and enjoyed the reception!

Thank you again for all that you have done to make our wedding day as memorable as it was. We will definitely refer you to family and friends that are in need of entertainment for future parties!

Best of luck with everything!

Thanks, Mr. & Mrs. Casella :]
Lombardi's on the Sound - 06/06/2009

Dear Craig and Energy Express,
Thank you so much for your excellent performance on our wedding day! I had never heard the band perform "live" before the event, and instead made our decision by listening to clips on your website, reading several testimonials, and reviewing your song list.

I was very pleased and impressed with your professionalism and performance. Brendan and I had a great time and appreciated your ability to really get the crowd out on the dance floor enjoying the evening!

We had tons of positive comments from our guests, and would certainly recommend Energy Express to anyone looking for a great wedding band!

All the best,
Julie & Brendan - Larchmont Yacht Club 05/30/2009

Dear Energy Express:
Your performance at our reception was outstanding. From the music you DJ'ed for our ceremony & cocktail hour to just every little detail we planned with you. The band's music made our wedding day just that more special.

There were two weddings that day in The Shadow brook and some people were on our dance floor from the other wedding because they heard our band(energy Express).

As people were leaving and saying goodbye to us at the end of the night most people commented on how good the band was.

Thanks Energy Express for making our day extra special:
John & Patti - Wedding Shadowbrook, NJ 05/16/09

To Energy Express,
We would like to thank you for helping to make our wedding an extra special day for us. Energy Express was terrific, playing the music that kept our guests up and dancing the entire night. Craig, it was a pleasure to work with you. You were so accommodating by incorporating some of our special music in DJ fashion. We would recommend Energy Express in a minute, and to think, we found you on the internet! You rival any of the "Typical" wedding bands, but the experience was so much more personal. Thank you

Steve & Amy Nahoum - San Souci, Sea Cliff 5/23/09

Energy Express,
We want to thank you for being a part of our wedding day. My husband wasn't with me when I went to see you guys play at a club, where I decided you'd be great for our wedding, and so he admitted later he was most worried about how the band would turn out. Well, he has yet to stop talking about how great you guys were! Our guests keeping saying, "Your band was wonderful, I kept forgetting they were live, they sounded so great!"

Not only was it wonderful to have such amazing entertainment but it was especially great to work with Craig during pre-wedding planning. You were never more then a phone call or email away; there to answer questions or with encouraging words before our big day. You assured me from the beginning that having a band over a DJ would be great, and you were true to your word.

We couldn't be happier with everything you guys delivered!

Thank you,
Shawn & Jillian Poling

Gardiner Wedding at Majestic Gardens 2008.

Dear Craig, Danielle, John, Ken, and Rich
I just wanted to say thanks to all of you for your wonderful job performing at our wedding, you were beyond amazing! You kept everyone up on their feet making sure they had such a great time partying and dancing. I can't begin to tell you how many complements we received from countless guests. We were glad to have had you guys apart of our special day. Thank you for helping make our night perfect and for sharing the beginning of our new lives together!

Joanna and Steven Gardiner

Hi Craig, Danielle, John, Ken & Rich,
Thank you for coming out to entertain our friends and family and for making this momentous occasion in our lives so special, exciting and memorable! We as well as our friends and family had an amazing time, and we can't say enough wonderful things about Energy Express and have nothing short of GREAT PRAISE for all of you. We had friends and family of all ages on the dance floor throughout the evening. Every song that you sang and played touched our heart and soul. Your professionalism, love, energy, enthusiasm and passion for what you do truly shows. We knew within minutes of hearing you guys the first time we had seen you showcase at the Lizard Lounge that we wanted to have you as part of our special day. We will be relocating to the San Francisco Bay Area by the end of the summer, and we hope to catch you guys at one more showcase before then. It would be our great pleasure to recommend Energy Express Band to anyone seeking to hire a truly amazing band to "complete" their special occasion.

Thanks, Siejen & Pete Stevenson Saturday, July 19th, 2008 Wedding at the United States Merchant Marine Academy P.S. - We love the photos of our wedding that you had included on your website. Thank You!

Dear Craig, Danielle, John, Ken, and Rich
Words cannot even describe the performance that you gave at our wedding on Sunday June 29, 2008. The few that do come to mind are energetic, amazing, exquisite, professional and absolutely perfect.

All of you are extremely passionate about what you do and it shows. From providing music for our ceremony to providing a pianist for the cocktail hour to the performance you gave during the reception.

You performed at the perfect volume during the reception, so that guests who were unable to dance may talk. While at the same time, there were people on the dance floor that usually do not dance. You guys covered everything for us and we are every grateful that we booked this band. When we arrived at the gardens for the ceremony, we could not believe that Craig was standing there with his equipment, ready to get things going. Everything that you guys did that day was amazing.

We have seen you perform at many of your showcases and could not wait to have you perform for us on this day. Your performance outshined the issues that we had with some of our other vendors. Craig said that “The Bride and Groom” make the party, but we have to disagree. In our case, it was “The Bride, The Groom, and Energy Express.” If we had to do it all over again, we would book you guys without hesitation. All of our guests have done nothing but rave about how great the band was. I know many of our friends and relatives will be contacting you in the future to perform at their weddings. If we ever need a band to perform for us in the future, you can expect to hear from us. Yes, we still plan on coming to see you guys at your showcases.

Karolina and Brian Lew - Westbury Manor 06/29/08

Rios Wedding - U.S. Merchant Marine Academy - Saturday May 31st 2008

Dear Craig, Danielle, John, Ken & Rich
"I just wanted to take a moment to say Thank You so much for the excellent job you did at our wedding. From start to finish, you guys were just amazing. Craig, I thought I was pretty calm throughout all of the planning but I guess nervousness sets in no matter what right before the big day and you knew just what to say to keep me calm. You gave us the best advice there was which was just to enjoy ourselves, and not miss out on anything. The reception could not have gone better thanks to Energy Express. Our families are not dancers and that night, you got everyone up dancing and just having a great time. I couldn't believe how much Brian and I danced because well, we are not dancers either. You guys were just that awesome Thank you so much for helping to make our day as perfect as it was. It is our pleasure to highly recommend Energy Express to anyone who is looking for a GREAT band."

Love, Brian & Colleen

Landregan and Dean's Wedding at Gurney's Inn in Montauk, NY
Hi everyone, Dean and I just wanted to thank you for making our wedding day so special!! We both had been worried that the dance floor would be rather empty. We knew that our families would be dancing but were surprised to see all of our friends on the floor as well. This is definately because of you guys!!!! Every song that you sang was amazing. Every one of our guests are still commenting on how great the band was and how much fun they had. People said that it was the best wedding they had been to and knowing that you helped contribute to this, I can't thank you enough!

Love, Landregan and Dean Corette

Lorraine & Joe's Wedding at the Bridgeview in Island Park, NY
Hi guys; Just wanted to reiterate what my wife and I have already told you the night of the wedding. You and your music were one of the main reasons our affair was such a huge success.....heard nothing but praise about you guys from our family, friends, and the staff at Bridgeview Yacht Club. Being a former musician myself, I am more critical than most. After seeing your DVD and listening to you in person at Darin's, I knew your group's musicality was not an issue. As we both know, that is not the only thing that makes the music a hit. Your professional manner and sound were a pleasure to listen and dance to from start to finish. It was great to see people who never dance up on the dance floor for a good part of the evening. Danielle and Craig the amazing performances you gave for our wedding song " I finally found someone cake cutting with "Give me forever, I do was totally impressed how you were able to learn this song and make it sound so original as if I had Barbra and John Tesh there performing.....totally blown away. I would suggest to anyone who has enough to worry about without having to give the music a second thought, book this band and leave it to these professionals. Absolutely great.....thanks for everything. We had an absolute blast and so did everyone who was there.

Thanks again for making our day so special. Joe & Lorraine

Lynn & James Yastrub Wedding at the Jericho Terrace in Mineola, NY
Hi Craig, Danielle, John, Ken & Rich, You guys were completely awesome and made our wedding a great success. The music was continuous and you played a great mix of dance tunes , love songs and party music. Our guests were delighted and enjoyed dancing the entire night. We were happy with your professionalism and style. You were there early to make sure we had some beautiful classical music playing during our ceremony, and all night through, until the reception ended. Thank you again for all your efforts, your great voices (Danielle sang our first dance song so beautifully) and for making our first dance perfect, as well as all the other important moments of the day. We would recommend your band to anyone . We were truly impressed with all of your music.

Best Regards, Lynn & Jim Yastrub

Dear Craig, Danielle, Mike, Ken, & Rich,
It is hard to find the words to express the gratitude and appreciation we feel toward Energy Express for the amazing job they did at our wedding on Sunday, July 15, 2007. Not only did they play our first song beautifully but, every song they played throughout the night was perfect. All our guests kept commenting on how great they sounded! What impressed us most about Energy Express was the sheer professionalism they possess. A few weeks before the wedding, we were informed that we needed music for our ceremony. We contacted the band and asked if they would be willing to provide our ceremony music for us. Not only did they agree to do it for us (which meant they would have to arrive a few hours earlier than originally planned) but, Craig took the time to reassure a stressed-out bride that everything would run smoothly. The band even agreed to acquire and DJ some songs for us that were not on their playlist for the father and daughter/mother and son dances. We couldn't have asked for more! Energy Express, thank you for making our special day truly special. It ran so smoothly and we have you to thank for that. We will be sure to contact you for any future events we have, as well as recommend you to our friends and family.

With greatest appreciation, Colleen & Steven DeJoseph

Hi Craig,
Both Jerry and I thought your band was great! You knew what music to play when and did not need any input from us or anyone else. You played a few of our favorite songs without even knowing it. You had quite a range of choices! After hearing your band my nephew commented to Jerry that he had wished he had a band when he got married 2 years ago instead of the DJ that he had paid a lot more for. Before the wedding my sister (the Maid of Honor) had commented that she was afraid that you would not play enough dance songs.....well you sure showed her!! I would highly recommend your band to anyone for any special occasion. We will keep in touch....who knows we might be renewing our vows in a year just to have a party and have you play!

Thanks for some great music, Jeanne and Jerry Feagans

From a Brides Maid at the Feagan's wedding - Hi Craig,
Just wanted to also let you know that my brother, who has NEVER danced in his life, DANCED the night of my sister's wedding and I am thrilled that something finally made him move!! Thanks for a wonderful evening, great performance, and if I ever hear of someone looking for a good live band, I will recommend yours!!

Davitt Mcginniss Wedding - Dear Craig, Danielle, Mike, Ken and Rich,
We just wanted to let you know how happy we were that we chose your band to play at our wedding. You guys did such a wonderful job with everything, all of the music was perfect and our first dance song sounded beautiful. Our guests have not stopped talking about how great the band was and saying how much fun they had. It was really great to see everybody up dancing all night and having a great time. Thanks again!

Jamie and Marty

Dear Energy Express,
Thank you so much for playing at our wedding. The band was awesome and kept everyone going all night long. There were times on the dance floor that we felt like we were at a club. Almost everyone was out of their seats dancing. That made our wedding day special and it could not have been done without the great music played by your band. Thank you so much for providing us with a wonderful time and an awesome start to our marriage.

Jennifer & Stephan

We had a wonderful time at our wedding and so did all of our guests. You really set the tone for a thoroughly enjoyable reception. Your elegant style offered a diverse mix of various dance music with a classy overtone. Everyone was on the dance floor having a great time. We found Energy Express on the Internet, contacted Craig and he mailed us a DVD of the band. As soon as we viewed the DVD we new you were the band we wanted to have perform at our wedding. We then went out to dinner and heard you perform in Amityville at the Bulldog Grille(nice place). The next series of contacts were via email and telephone. Craig, you took the ball from here. You did an excellent job with the introductions and special dances. I didn't realize my throw away bouquet was missing. Not to worry, not only can Danielle sing but she stepped into action and made a beautiful last minute throw away bouquet. Craig and Danielle sang a beautiful duet for our first song. They are quite a team. Mike, Ken and Rich added the great instrumental talent that every great band needs to be a success. All members of Energy Express were a delight to have at our wedding. We highly recommend Energy Express for entertainment at your event.

Respectfully Mr. & Mrs. Patrick Grey

I just wanted to say thank you for making our night perfect. The music was more than we could have hoped for and everyone ranted and raved for days later. I would highly recommend you to anyone and everyone. Looking back at my wedding video I am more impressed and touched by how amazing your performance was all night.

Thank you, Michaela and Jeremy Sorvino

When we hired Energy Express to play at our wedding we were blown away with their performance on and off the dance floor. First of all the band knows how to read a crowd and run the show perfectly. I have never been to a party where there was a sixty person conga line BEFORE dinner! Throughout the night people were dancing that we had never seen dance before. The band was also very reliable as we planned our wedding, returning phone calls and providing us with all necessary information in a professional and timely manner. We have to say, all in all we got what we expected and much more!

Lauren & Ryan

Dear Craig,
Thank you so much for all the great music at our wedding. You guys sounded really great and so many of my guest's were asking how I found your band. Everyone had such a great time and I would highly recommend you for any occasion.

All the best, Julie and David Soto Silberman

Wedding Reception at the Hilton in Orangeburg, New York
"It was a great pleasure to have you at our wedding. From the the first time we saw you (back in September 2003 at the bar performing), we knew YOU WERE THE RIGHT BAND for our reception. And you did not disappoint us at all, everybody had great fun and enjoyed your music. We would like to thank you for your performance (and endless energy) again and we would call you if we had any other occasions with no hesitation."

Newlyweds Talar & Serop

The Fox Wedding Reception at the Surf Club in The Hamptons on LI, New York
"Energy Express is, without a doubt, the best wedding band on the circuit today! The music at our wedding was fantastic and all the guests had a great time and were up dancing the entire evening."

The Groom - Dan Fox

"The band did a great job at the wedding and I would be eager to refer the band to friends and family."

Reception Guest - Manny

Wedding Reception at Gurney's in Montauk LI New York
"The overall effect was better than any other band or DJ setup that I could have hoped for! I'm so happy that I didn't decide to splurge on one of the much more expensive bands that I contacted, because I'm certain the end result would not have been as good."

The Groom - Scott

Dear Craig, Danielle, Mike, Ken and Rich,
"I can’t begin to express how much we enjoyed the band at Carrie’s wedding. Everything was wonderful, you all did a tremendous job. I don’t think everything would have gone so smoothly if we didn’t hire Energy Express. You certainly got the crowd up and out on the dance floor. Many of my guests called me to say how great you all were. They were impressed with the range of music and the wonderful voices. Again, thank you so much for a wonderful day..."

Barbara McGoohan

"I just wanted to thank you so much for the AMAZING job you and the rest of the band did at our wedding. We've received so many compliments about the music from both friends and family. You played so many songs that we love with a good combination of fast and slow songs. Everyone had a great time dancing. We would be happy to refer you to any friends who are looking for a great band for their upcoming weddings."

Thank you, Alyssa and Lee

Craig,
"Thank you for the absolutely wonderful job you and Energy Express did at our wedding!! The music sounded AMAZING! You kept everyone of all ages on the dance floor with a great mix of oldies and current songs! You, Craig, did a fantastic job as the "master of ceremonies" introducing the wedding party and all of the special dances. We received so many compliments not only on your music, but on your professionalism as well. I have been to many weddings where the band seems to forget that they are performing at a wedding and not a bar/club - i.e. they end up playing their music so loudly that the guests can't hear each other talk and they can also get a bit carried away!! You showed us and our guests the utmost respect on our wedding day and we truly appreciate that. I can honestly say that aside from being extremely talented musicians, Energy Express is one of the classiest bands I have ever seen. I would highly recommend you to anyone! Thank you again for making our day so special!"

Sincerely, Mary Pat and Matt Adamson

Craig,
"Your band is great and everyone loved your style and song selections and that the band was not loud. Everyone could have conversations without yelling at each other."

Thanks, Eileen Myers

Hi there,
"You guys played at my sister Sanjeevanee’s wedding (Vidwans wedding) and I just have to say that you did a great job! Especially Baat Ban Jaye! We will definitely recommend you!!"

Regards, Hemangi Joshi-Deodhar

Hi Craig,
"I would recommend Energy Express in a heartbeat! From the first time we spoke, you were nothing but professional. You went out of your way to learn Baat Ban Jaye and it turned out to be better than my wildest dreams- and my guests loved and appreciated it. People who are normally in bed by 9pm ended up on the dancefloor until the last song- and I attribute that to Energy Express! I have gotten countless compliments on your band- it's the first thing that people mention when talking about the wedding. You guys did an excellent job and I am so grateful!"

All the best to you and the rest of the band, Sanjeevanee and Ranjeet

Hi Craig, Danielle, Mike, Ken & Rich,
My Mom’s 80th surprise party came off without a hitch, and there are so many great memories for family and friends to cherish forever. The Energy Express band made the day even more special. Your professionalism before, during and after the party was exemplary, which made it so much easier for me to attend to the other numerous details of the event. The music and song selection was outstanding, as I received many compliments about the quality and style of the band. You are able to satisfy all the different age groups (from youth to senior citizen) with your selections, as evidenced by the worn sections of my backyard grass which doubled as a make shift dance floor! I am already looking forward to our next party with Energy Express providing the music.

Thank you again for helping make the day special. John Branca
