I must first apologize for sending this letter so late. It is WAY overdue.
I want to take the opportunity to thank you for helping facilitate an amazing wedding for my brother and sister-in-law. I have to say that every guest I spoke to was absolutely raving about how wonderful Eclipse was.
To be completely honest, I expected a rag-tag group of middle aged guys, and was completely surprised to see this group of young guys. I admit I was skeptical… but they came with such rave reviews from the both of you that I had to check my doubts. And I admit… I have never been more wrong in my life!
I met with them immediately when we arrived and gave them the rundown, and they were so understanding and accommodating. I even warned them that they had musicians in the audience, but they were not intimidated in the least.
They started out and immediately had guests on the dance floor. One couple actually danced non-stop. They played songs from every end of the playlist that Scott and Tara provided, from the Spin Doctors, to Jason Mraz (the bride’s favorite), to Van Halen’s Jump. And they played them DAMN well. I’m smiling just thinking about it.
But the most important part… Tara admitted that they made the right choice to go with Eclipse… which made Scott’s day.
I wish I could be in the room with your next clients to brag about how fantastic they were. I’ve never been to an event with a band that I liked but I’m considering hiring them to just follow me around all day and just play background music everywhere I go.
Much of this thanks goes to both of you as well. For me it was very reassuring to work with a company that was so helpful, understanding and patient. I am not a professional coordinator yet, but as I’m building my business, your company will be top of my list. Without a doubt.
Thank you sincerely for making my brother and sister-in-law’s wedding the day they always dreamed of.
The following article was reported in The Queens Courier, in New York detailing a couple’s experience in selecting the right band for their wedding at Hank Lane Music.
“My friend Mark Mazor had one of the nicest weddings I have been to. The one thing I clearly remember was the music, which had everyone up on the dance floor the entire night. So I gave him a call to get the details. He told me that the band was from Hank Lane Music.”
We wanted to let you know that Soho Rhythm was awesome at our wedding. Everyone was dancing and having a good time. So many people have complimented them to us. They were very attentive too, making sure we were having a good time all night. Please let them know.
I have been meaning to reach out to you regarding our October wedding. Soho Rhythm was truly amazing! We could not have asked for a better band. They are a very talented group, and I will be recommending them to everyone! People are still coming up to tell us that they were the “best band ever”!
Thanks for being able to take Jeff and my suggestions for the type of band we would like and making it a reality!
We had a wonderful experience with Hank Lane-Spencer Kaufman,our event producer at Hank Lane, was incredibly patient and assured us the music provided would be the very best & would enhance our event. He paired us with DJ Tom, a good natured generous great guy. Tom played every song we asked + some he knew we’d enjoy. He made sure not to play any guest requests without having my OK first-I loved that! I would easily recommend DJ Tom and Hank Lane-they’re professional, responsible and the very best. We think they were worth every penny.

I originally wrote this letter in late November and apologize that it never made it into the mail. I have been meaning to re-write this letter for ages because memories of Fifth Avenue band are just as powerful today as they were on our wedding day.
First, we would like to thank you for the extraordinary service you provided us from the beginning of our contract. There was never a question you couldn’t answer, nor a detail too small for you to handle for us. Also, I very much appreciate Michael, from your Long Island office, calling the week of the wedding to confirm every detail. Second, as you well know, other than the ceremony, the band was one of our top priorities for our wedding day. My dream was to have an elegant wedding, but also a fun party. You assured me that the Fifth Avenue band would be ideal, and you were incredibly correct. From the first moment, the band was fabulous. The introductions went very smoothly and Fifth Avenue had our entire crowd dancing immediately following our first dance. We danced all night thanks to the incredible talent of the band members. Our guests kept commenting that each song sounded like it was sung by the original artist. And, finally, the after-hours DJ was such a hit. I still laugh when I think about our guests’ reaction to the surprise appearance of the DJ. They were thrilled!
Please extend our sincere thanks to the members of the Fifth Avenue Band. Their talent poise and personality were key to making our reception exactly as we had wished. We will recommend Hank Lane without reservation to anyone. And, I know Antonella, the wedding coordinator at the Water’s Edge, is spreading the word about you as well. Again, our deepest thanks to everyone at Hank Lane.
We would like to let you know that Michael Hart and his set band did an amazing job at our wedding in September. We received many compliments from guests, who said that Michael and his band sounded great, played off of the crowd extremely well, and really kept everyone going. We had a great time and danced for hours – which was exactly what we wanted.
We extend a sincere thank you to you and Michael Hart for helping make our wedding a night we will never forget!
