Dear John,

A quick note to say a HUGE THANK YOU! for helping make our Wedding Day one to remember. Everyone loved the music and had an awesome time dancing the night away. What a pity it ended so soon, we could have been there all night! Black Tie Events are not only very professional, but a lot of fun.

Dear John,

This is a THANK YOU! Your contribution to the success of my 15th!!! birthday party on February 29th was huge. You were polite and helpful and you never pushed your own agenda. Everyone loved the music; the young ones who were only "dropping in" were amazed that OLD people could have such a good time too! Needless to say they were still there at the end. Many guests have commented on how much they appreciated your work, and my sincere thanks for your great work.

Dear Mark,

I had to write and thank you for the amazing service you provided at our wedding reception on 28th October. Prior to the wedding we had a meeting with Mark, and while we knew what kind of music WE liked - we didn't really have any idea what would "work" at a wedding reception.  In any case, we had a long chat and left Mark with pages and pages of our "suggestions", with highlighted "must have's" for reception songs. Somehow, out of that, Mark pulled together what I consider to be an inspired series of sets of music - from something a bit old time rock n' roll at the start to get the oldies dancing, to my favourite Cindy Lauper, Dirty Dancing and Aussie Rock favourites at the end of the night when my girlfriends and I stormed the floor. Absolutely everyone was dancing and had themselves a ball - just one great song after the other, mostly our suggestions, but put together such in a way that it  just worked at every part of the night. Thankyou Mark too for accommodating our unusual requests - from a separate musical entrance for the bride and groom to the start of Motley Crue's "Kick-start My Heart", to our first dance to KISS. It was a perfect soundtrack to the atmosphere of the night, and Mark was a perfect gentleman who helped things run smoothly all night - so much so I hardly noticed he was there and just had a ball. Worth every cent.

Thanks again, and all the best with your business.

Dear Alan,

I would like to thank you for the wonderful music that made our GB.Net conference such a success last Saturday. Alan was very professional as well as delightful. The conference went off with such a bang and everyone had a great time. Our internet threads are full of excitement at how well it went. Alan was able to provide the music that suited the mood and we danced and had lots of fun. He was able to hook up my laptop to the system so that we could show fan videos and they went down very well. His little touch of providing a CD with Scottish songs went over very well with the organising team. We loved it. So, thank you both again. Although we will be moving cities for the next conference to be fair to the various girls from different States, I will always be very happy to recommend you to anyone who needs a DJ or music in Melbourne. I will certainly use you again should the occasion arise.

Dear John,

John and his team, Sarah & Louie, are to be congratulated for providing professional, fun and interactive entertainment. We were particularly impressed with communications prior to the event which resulted in Black Tie Events Trivia tailored specifically to our needs. Participation on the night was maximal and stories are being retold in the corridors with vigour!

Dear John,

This is just a quick note to thank you for the excellent job you did for us on 1st September. The entire day went off without a hitch, largely due to us utilizing professionals such as yourself. The way you and the staff at Ballara worked together making everything happen on time as planned and without fuss was brilliant. Even though I am a bit of a control freak, I was very impressed with the way you kept us well informed of what was happening and when so there was never a need to rush, nor did we have to worry about anything other than enjoying ourselves.

You can rest assured that we will recommend you, Ballara and Always Classic Cars to anyone we know who could use you.

Thanks,

Dear Louie,

Thank you so much for the great music at our 40th birthday party.  Everyone commented that it was a great selection and how much they all enjoyed themselves.  I haven’t danced so much in ages!  My legs are still sore.  Thanks for all the great Italian songs as well as the WWE Shawn Michaels theme … the wrestling fans were most impressed that you played it! I’ve recommended you to all our friends who are planning future parties!  Those that were there on Saturday night, have already asked for your number!! Thanks again,

Dear John,

Black Tie Events Trivia was perfect for our group. The humour of John and the laid back nature of the evening really sat well with our members, who are as varied as any group of people could be. Several have already asked that I book for our next conference! I never thought I would get them up and clowning around and it was great to see everyone so relaxed.

We just wanted to let you know about the fabulous job Louie did at our wedding on Friday 25th November 2005. Not only was he unbelievably accommodating, but he also seemed to be able to pick up the right music at the right time - we don't remember the dance floor being empty!

Also thought we'd let you know that we received a number of comments from our guests about how good the DJ was, so a great big thank you from the both of us. We have no problem in recommending him to any of our friends upcoming weddings. Thanks again.

Dear Alan,

 

Please accept my apologies for my tardiness in expressing my appreciation for a wonderful job done for my event. It was my husband’s 60th birthday and you were great – very sensitive to the needs of the group and committed to their enjoyment of the evening.

People have spoken of what a superb job you did – but I also wanted to know how much we appreciated the services of Black Tie Events. We attended an event a couple of weeks later where the entertainer was far more intent on making himself the centre of the night rather than reading the group and responding to it. The contrast between them and you could not have been greater!!

Thank you again very much for your contribution to the success of our very special event.
