Hi Pete,
Thanks for your follow up email and for all your help in making our wedding day the best day of our lives. Your professionalism and prompt correspondence has made the lead up to the big day stress free & we are truely grateful. I will certainly be recommending your service to others and if I ever get the chance to theme an event such as our wedding Erna will be our first choice !!
I'd be more than happy for you to use our comments below on your website.

"Erna and the band were absolutely fantastic. They made the whole evening and theme of our 1920-30's vintage inspired wedding day tie in together perfectly. Erna was decked out in 1920's attire and her cheeky grin and amazing voice delighted all the guests. People continue to talk about how wonderful they were and how much they enjoyed dancing the night away. The music was perfectly suited to our theme and was timed for the progression of the night. The mixture of old and new could not have been better done. Having Erna specially learn our first dance song was very special for us. My husband and I would personally like to thank Erna and the band for their amazing performance and for helping make our wedding night the most amazing night of our lives ! "

Thanks again Pete,

All the very best for 2010.

Warmest Wishes,

Anna & Damian Murnane

Wonderful performance and professional setup and communication prior to the event (thanks also for singing our special request for the 1st dance). We are very grateful and would highly recommend Erna and Roger to anyone else.

Hi Pete,
Erna was great. She was just perfect for what we needed and even managed to get people up dancing by the end of the night! I had lots of people comment on her and enquired who she was etc. Our Auckland office have booked through you before, but I certainly have passed on your name in case they are in need of your services any time soon!
Thanks for organising this for...everything ran so smoothly.
Take care, Cath Scott Madison Recruitment (Nov 2006)

Dear Pete
Erna and her group were fantastic. They provided a perfect atmosphere and judged the sound level and the music genre perfectly. Erna is a lovely woman and her voice and style really portray her personality. She was perfect.
