Hi Ian, Doug, Tim and Gary.

Other than I hold you personally responsible for the fact I was almost too stiff to get out of bed on Sunday morning from dancing all night - I just want to thank you all for the fabulous music at the VanCity event on Saturday.

It was a great selection and wonderful quality of music clearly hit the mark for the wide range of folks in attendance. Not to mention that seeing all our executive in a conga line was well worth the price of admission!!

The feedback from everyone there has been great - a fabulously fun time had by all. I hope that we can connect again!

Thanks again and best wishes to you all,
Anne

I just wanted to thank you all again for your performance at our event last Friday. I thought you all were just excellent and Cathy St. Germain was just as sweet as ever. We couldn’t have asked for a better band. I’m glad you all had a good time, too. We have heard very positive feedback about you from those that attended.

Just so you and the band know - I have been getting phone calls, emails and have been getting stopped in the office ALL DAY - with compliments about the party. Everyone thinks that Faith and Desire made it our best Christmas party EVER...so thank you so much.

Dear Faith and Desire,

On behalf of Grant Thornton I would like to thank you for making our Staff
Party at the Fairmount Hotel (Hotel Vancouver) on 30 Nov an excellent
affair.

We received great feedback about your performance. The staff really
appreciated the variety of music and the fact that there was something in
your repertoire for every taste and age group. It was a very nice gesture
to invite party goers to join the band on stage and taking requests also
made everyone feel part of the show. (Thank goodness nobody attempted to
sing!)

Thank you very much for your contribution to an excellent evening.

Kind regards

Hi Tim,

Rob and I just returned from our honeymoon, and I wanted to take a moment to let you know just how AMAZING it was to have you and the band at our wedding!! We had such a blast, and can’t even believe how fabulous you guys were (we’ve had tons of family and friends saying the same thing). Our day wouldn’t have been the same without such an awesome show – THANK YOU!! I will definitely be recommending you guys to everyone I can think of :)

All the best,

Dear Faith and Desire,

Thank you! Your band helped make our wedding reception a truly festive event. From the time I first contacted you regarding booking your band you were nothing but professional, courteous, and friendly. Your play list was extensive...which is a good thing since I am Jewish and my new bride is Irish...and you accomodated both of us by playing the lively Jewish Hora and a traditional Irish jig (both of which were excellent).

Our guests continually came up to my wife and I during the night to tell us "the band is great," "where did you find them," and "everybody's dancing." So, thank you again for doing such an amazing job. You truly helped make our wedding a great event and I would have no hesitation in recommending you.

Hi Gary,

We would like to thank Faith & Desire for the great entertainment they provided us and our guests at our wedding. Your great song selection got everyone onto the dance floor and we have received tremendous feedback regarding the band's performance. Guests of all ages loved you guys. The band could have played until 4 am and people still would have been dancing. Thanks so much for playing on our big day. I would have no hesitation recommending Faith & Desire to anyone planning a wedding.

Cheers,

Hi Gary,

I just wanted to compliment your band "Faith and Desire" for the exceptional performance you gave at our daughters wedding at The Pan Pacific Hotel in August. We have had overwhelming positive feedback from our guests who enjoyed the band and the proof was in the pudding when at the end of the evening " one more " was constantly being chanted! I have never been to a wedding where the majority of people are on the dance floor for almost 4 hours and that is in part to your group of wonderful and talented musicians. We loved your versatility to play anything and appreciated the impromptu performance of " Auld Lang Syne " from your fiddler.

Thank you also for allowing my husband to sing with band which he thoroughly enjoyed and if you ever lose the lead singer [ namely you ] my husband is available!

Again thanks for making the evening of our daughter and son-in-law's wedding reception so special and memorable for all that attended.

Helen Gerrard.

Faith & Desire,

Thank you so much for playing at out wedding, you were amazing!! You made our wedding unforgettable, you had everyone on their feet all night. We highly recommend you to anyone, some of our guests are already planning to book you in the future.

Thanks again

Hi Gary,

Thanks again guys SOOOO much for such a great time - I think we had the party of the neighbourhood - something to compare as a marker for years to come - at least thats' what all my friends and neighbours have said!!! I lost track of how many people thanked me for having you guys play for our wedding reception - I'm sure you saw the results - the huge "aws" when the band was finished - thanks too for the encore! My friends had a great idea - if you ever need an instant party - give us a call - we'll be a very enthusiastic audience!

We are actually thinking, talking back and forth, about creating an annual summer dance - you know, sell tickets and make it a community thing ... please email me with your schedules whenever ...

Gary, thank you for the great job - you guys certainly guaranteed the success of our evening ... Hopefully we will see you again in the not to distant future - all the very best to all of you!

Love Kelly

Hi Faith and Desire,

We had the most amazing time and you guys were perfect. We have heard non stop since the wedding, "What a great band", "Faith and Desire was amazing". People could not stop talking about you and the party!

Thank you for making Maciek and my wedding a hit, the wedding of our dreams came true!

Thank you so much again!

Hi Gary,
Mark and I just wanted to thank you for your FABULOUS music at our wedding. Also, thank you so much for being so accommodating to my sister and cousin. The family really enjoyed hearing them. We loved your version of Crazy Love too. Additionally, I must say I have never seen a group of people run to the dance floor so quickly as they did when you starting playing. Everyone had a ball. Thanks again and hopefully we'll have another opportunity in the not so distant future to hear you guys play again.
Regards,

Hi Gary,

We found you and your band to be most helpful and accomodating. It was a pleasure to see how flexible you were letting our daughter and nephew sing. You have a great sound and we wouldn't hesitate in recommending you to our family and friends (most of whom were at the event)!

Best of luck to you in the future.

Thanks for a great performance at our wedding reception.
You guys sounded fantastic and the selection of songs you chose was perfect.

Thanks for being great with the kids as well. They had a blast being
up on stage. I would definitely recommend you to friends getting married, and
as a matter of fact we gave out your number and name to quite a few people that attended.

Thank you again.

Hi Gary,

Just wanted to touch base and thank you and your wonderful Band members for an outstanding evening! I know that everyone had a fantastic time and again, thanks so much for making the evening such a success. It is too bad that we were so late to the dance part of our evening as I really enjoyed listening to you guys play.

I certainly will keep you in mind for any future events that I am planning.

Hello Faith and Desire,

I trust you made it back to Vancouver in one piece! I just wanted to send a note to thank you once again for helping us with our event last week. We were able to raise more than our goal, that will go straight into the Cassy Ryles Fund for Juvenile Diabetes. For the first year of this event we were more than pleased!

We've received tons of great feedback and you guys were a hit! We are looking forward to planning again for 2006 and hope that you will be able to join us.

Sincerely,

Gary, Ian, Douglas and Tim,

How can I say thank you enough to the four of you for being a group such of great guys, fabulous and talented musicians and extremely tolerant and good natured with the crowd we had last Friday night!!!! My phone has been ringing off the hook from families who had such a great time; whose kids loved the band and loved their moments (or lots of minutes) on stage. It started off with the two birthday girls and you guys were incredible to accommodate all the rock star wanna-be's including my son Jamie who would not get off the stage!! At one point during the evening, I couldn't even see you guys as you stayed back and let the kids rock - awesome. Also, my committee was so thrilled to be up on stage singing Mustang Sally - many of them would never ever dream of doing that so it was very exciting for them.

Thank you , thank you!! If you are willing, we would love to have you next year - date to be determined but around the same time in late November or early December. Will keep you posted.

Thanks again for everything - we loved having you and really appreciated the effort and patience you showed us. WOW!!!! PLUS THE TUNES WERE FANTASTIC - you really made a difference to the success of the ball.

Love Susan

Dear Gary:

Just a quick note to say THANK YOU and your band for being so terrific last night! As you clearly witnessed, what my girls lack in punctuality, they make up for in spirit. That students and parents stayed until the end of the night to dance (and sing, as things turned out) speaks volumes to your talent and showmanship.

Thank you once again!

Hi Guys,

Sorry I did not get a chance to thank you personally after the dance. I was so busy cleaning up I hadn't even realized you had left. Everyone had a great time and loved your music.

With so much happening that night, and after spending the night dancing at the Hyatt many of the grads were happy to sit down and enjoy listening to your music. Whether it was around the dance floor or at the cafe or casino the response was over whelming that your music was enjoyed by all!!

Thank you for personalizing the night allowing a few brave souls to get up and have their moment in the spotlight with you. I know it was a memorable night for many and your wonderful music was a part of it. Thank you for playing "With or Without You. It was beautifully done.

Once again..... we would like to thank you for your help in making this night enjoyable for all. I will definately recommend you to anyone I hear of looking for a band.

Sincerely,

Hi Gary,

I owe you and the boys a huge THANK YOU for contributing to the immense success of the event-I'm still hearing from our members that last year's party was the best ever! We will be having a similar party again this year and would love to have you back - it will be on either the 20th or 27th of September, could you save the dates for me? I should be able to confirm which of the two dates we are going to go with in the next several weeks. I think I'm seeing you here sometime this summer for a wedding.
