Rochester NY Wedding and Party Band

Hi Bill,

You guys were great. Our boaters had a real good time and are looking
forward to seeing you here again next season. Thanks!

To all the Members of Centre Stage Band,

Last night’s performance by Centre Stage was the bomb!!
Props all around to each and every member of the band. Your performance made my sister in law’s wedding a night to remember. The genre of music was a pure blend of tripping excitement. I can not remember the last time people were dancing and having fun all night long. You took us back to the 50’s through the 60’s and the 70’s. I am most impressed with the musical talent that each member brought to the show that puts Centre Stage Band at the top of my list. First class entertainment for all!

On a personal note:

Dear Bill, Jim & Don,

You made me feel so welcome – it was an honor to not only sit with the band, but also perform a special tribute for the bride and the groom. The band took a big risk in entertaining my wish. Thank you!! The feedback was overwhelming positive. I hope you understand how much this meant to the bride and groom and the family. I am still blown away by the flowing chemistry of the band - the band is a collection of truly seasoned professionals that know how to bring the house down. In the future when I have a need for first class entertainment Centre Stage will be and is at the top of my list!

Warm Regards,
Joe M. 8/15/2009, Wedding, Rochester , NY

Owasco Country Club.....there is so much buzz going around by the members about how well you performed and how they had such a great time. They haven't had entertainment like that in many years at this event.....thanks again and I'm sure I will be able to see you all again....

Warm regards,

Katie & Steve, 6/30/07, Wedding, Westwood Country Club, Williamsville, NY

All thanks belong to you and the band. You did an absolutely incredible job last night. I received so many compliments on the band and music selection. A try thanks from the bottom of my heart. Additionally, I would be more than happy to write something to be a reference for you guys. Again many thanks you made the night great!!!

Centre Stage Band was AWESOME! They are worth every penny we paid for them and then some. I can't imagine what our wedding would have been like without them. They were very easy to work with as well as VERY entertaining. They're style of music caters to crowds of all ages, from teenagers to people in their 60's & 70's. Everybody was dancing from the time they started playing all the way to the end of the night (and our families & friends normally don't dance). Everyone at the reception had a great time thanks to Centre Stage Band. I would recommend them to anyone for any kind of function..

Dear Centre Stage Band,
Thank you so much for performing at our wedding on June 24th - You were amazing. All of our guests continue to comment to us on how much they

agree. Each set you played was awesome and it really made our
wedding a fun event. Thanks for everything.

Sincerely,

The Centre Stage Band was fabulous. We had a Jack and Jill wedding shower for our son and his bride to be, 300 people attended. Everyone raved about the band and I'm sure they will be back on Nantucket Island again. If they did not have another place to go the next day they would still be here playing, because the guests were ready to pass the hat to keep them here. We can not say enough. Awesome, Awesome, Awesome !! Doris and Charlie Strang Nantucket, MA

Centre Stage was accommodating to all conditions of the evening entertainment. The music was great as was all members of Centre Stage. There was not a guest for the event who did not have a nice thing to say about the band. Everyone was pleased and we were sorry to see the end of the evening. I would recommend Centre Stage to anyone looking for event entertainment. Members of the band were also very courteous and friendly. Good luck with your event.

In all honestly, this is the greatest wedding band ever! They made my wedding so incredibly fun & lively. Everyone was dancing & having a blast and afterwards, everyone commented on how great they were. Thank you, thank you, thank you Center Stage Band for making me wedding the best night ever!

I never give any group or company a perfect score, however, Centre Stage was the absolute perfect band for our Christmas party. They were wonderful to work with prior to the engagement and greatly assisted me in the planning process of the party. As far as talent, all I can say is "WOW!". They were unbelievable on instruments as well as vocals. I was concerned to request a bid from them at first since our party was in Chattanooga, TN and they were from Rochester, NY, however the bid was extremely reasonable even though we are a non-profit organization. No matter where you are located in the country, give these guys a chance to put in a bid. If you are planning a function where you want a great performance, unmatched energy and presentation, and awesome dancing then you want to hire Centre Stage. Honestly, I can not say enough about them but I can say if you hire them for whatever function you are planning you will not be disappointed. There is one night in December though that you can not have them, they are coming with us for all of our parties in the future!!! Sincerely, Caci Case 2006 President of the NWGTC

Let me get this out there right away: The Centre Stage Band was amazing-- better than I ever imagined they would be. These guys were simply spectacular. Our wedding guests were dancing all night long, right up until almost midnight. They played a great mix of songs so everybody heard their favorite at some point during the evening. And with their own unique personalities (especially the Reverend Billy Graham!), the entertainment value was at a high level. The highlight of the evening was when they let my fourteen year old nephew play guitar and sing with them on two songs. It showed my wife and I that the evening was not about them, but about us, our families and our friends. What a perfect finish to our wedding day! I will recommend them to anyone getting married in the Western New York area. Sincerely, Jim and Katie
Jim S, 11/12/2005, Wedding, Rochester, NY

The guys in Centre Stage Band simply are awesome and are no ordinary "wedding band". If you are searching within their region, and you want a fun band that can handle a variety of sounds -- Motown, Rock, R&B, Oldies, Modern, Soul, etc. -- you owe it to yourself to check these guys out and hire them immediately. Many friends and family said it was the best band they've seen/heard at a wedding. Nobody mentions our wedding without saying how great they thought the band was. They have soul, passion and exceptional skills on each of their instruments, which made for an incredibly entertaining band and truly made our wedding day that much more special and memorable. Everyone in the room -- from the older folks to our friends -- were dancing the entire show. These guys earned every penny from us and then some. Thanks fellas.

I found you thru this website, and never heard of you before, and I booked you for our Welcome Home Celebration for our Local Troops here in Utica NY, that returned in January from serving almost a year in Iraq. I am so Happy that I booked The Centre Stage Band!!! You Guys were AWESOME!!! I want to Thank you all so very much for making it a wonderful night for our Troops' Welcome Home Party. I will Highly recommend you to everyone I know. I dont think I could have picked a better Band to help us all celebrate what we have waited so long for. I hope you enjoyed yourselves too. Everyone has commented on what a great time they had and that the Band was awesome. Again, THANK YOU, I cant say it enough. You all did a great job!!! xoxox Christie

Working with the Centre Stage Band was a wonderful experience. The band is very professional and was willing and able to accomodate my last minute requests for bridal songs. They played them wonderfully. The band is amazing when you listen to them online but that great sound pales in comparison to them live. They play each piece so well that you feel as if the original artist was there singing the songs and playing the music. They are worth every penny and more. We give have not stopped recommending you to my friends and acquaintances and people are still talking about how great it was. It was rare that I saw people in their seats during the reception. From the young to the old, everyone danced the night away. They were spirited, involved, and multi-talented. They helped make our wedding an amazing and magical day. The emotion began during the ceremony and continued through the night thanks to the band. I can't say enough. The band members are real entertainers and true musicians. All our thanks for sponsoring them and allowing us to find such talent for our wedding. Mr. & Mrs. Garcia.

Centre Stage Band brought to our day great music and great interaction with the kids and the teachers and everyone! We all danced up a storm! They were very accommodating and were even willing to relocate outdoors at a minutes notice since the weather was so nice! They have left good lasting memories for all of us! Fine Musicians! MJ Gunderson/Coordinator of Performing Arts Day

I would STRONGLY recommend Center Stage Band to anyone who wants a band with a quality sound and genuine love for music, and who isn't able to pay the sometimes outrageous costs of a live band. Center Stage was the only band who worked with us and was flexible. They were willing to do the show for what we could afford because they have a genuine love of performing and of making people happy with music. These guys are classy AND fun. They have fabulous singing voices and are skilled musicians, all. They played just the right mix of songs at just the right times, so they seem to have artistic sensitivity, too. They're also generous about sharing the spotlight, in that they didn't make it a huge plug for their band or talk a blue streak, but instead focused on playing appropriate music well. They even let musical friends of ours use their instruments during a break to play us a serenade! We were very satisfied with Center Stage Band. Hire these guys; trust me, they're worth it
Elisabeth R, 4/1/2006, Wedding, East Rochester, NY

Our event got rained out as Center Stage was moving their gear on. Even though we have yet to hear them play a note we are planning another booking in the near future. The Center Stage Band has gone way above and beyond for us and graciously took one on the chin as the raindrops fell. Looking forward to next time, and a dry stage.

Dear Centre Stage Band,

We just arrived back to from our honeymoon and the first thing we are doing is writing to you and the band.

The band was amazing. I knew that the band sounded great on the samples that you sent us but I had no idea how great you would sound live. You guys blew us away. Everyone was talking about how great the band was and how much fun they had. I think that people enjoyed it much more than they even expected.

The selections for our bridal songs were perfect and sounded amazing. I am so pleased with how original sounding the band is. You play each piece so well that you feel as if the original artist was there singing the songs and playing the music. You guys are worth every penny and more. You have our unbounded thanks and appreciation. I have not stopped recommending you to my friends and acquaintances. In fact many of them asked for your card to book the guys for their business and social engagements, so good luck with that.

We are thinking about a first anniversary party and am thinking of rehiring you for that. We actually were a little upset that we had to leave to take pictures because the music was so great and we always had to leave during a great song, but then again they all were great.

Thank you so much for playing with heart, spirit, and for getting involved with the magic of it all. Your music, spirit, participation, and overall professionalism amazed us and helped to make it one amazing and memorable wedding reception.

PS. I don't know what was served or how good it tasted because we barely sat down to eat but I'm glad you guys enjoyed it. It was the least that we could do.

We loved it.
I'll keep in touch.
Jam on and God Bless

Sincerely,
Melissa and Eric Garcia

Dear Centre Stage, We were absolutely thrilled with your performance. What else can we say? As you know we live in Boston where it is common for people to pay 2-3 times as much for a wedding band (sometimes even more)! You were worth every single penny. Many of our guests were astounded at your ability to play and to get the crowd going- even at the beginning of the night. It is obvious that you have played together for a long while and all that practice payed off. Your music was fantastic- the cover tunes were close to the original but with just enough of the Centre Stage flare that makes people want to get down. Our wedding had Grandparents, Great Grandchildren and everyone in between and all of them danced (even my 2 year old nephew)! If we had it to do all over again NO DOUBT we would book you guys again! I would highly recommend your band to anyone who loves to have a great time and likes to dance. Because of you we didn't get to see all of our guests- they were on the dance floor all night! We particularly loved that you let my brother play his trumpet with you- we all loved that! John and I (and our parents) can't thank you enough for helping us have the best wedding we have ever been to. Please share our comments with others to let them know how fantastic you guys are. We are truly grateful and wish you many rockin' years to come- Sincerely, Meg and John Flatley

Just cannot tell you how FANTASTIC you guys were at the wedding. Tons of people commented. you sure got the crowd rockin !!! We really appreciated how flexible you were with everything too. Apparently many other guests at the Inn asked about you as well. I guess there were actually people from the other wedding coming to listen . So we will pass your name to anyone who inquires about live music & I'm hoping to come up with something to celebrate so we can have you guys again!!!! Thank you a gazillion & if you ever need any testimonials from customers don't hesitate to call/email...we'd be right on it. Gratefully, Maureen & Mickey McHugh

You and your band provided great entertainment for our Christmas party! That is the most folks I have ever seen out on the dance floor. Every one had a great time. Thank you for helping to make the evening a success. Have a Merry Christmas and a safe New years! Donna VonMinden

I just wanted to thank you and tell you how much Robin and I enjoyed having Center Stage play at our wedding. You were awesome! Everything you played was perfect! I have had numerous people come up to me since the wedding to tell me how great the band was and how much fun they all had. Most of the fun was because of you guys! -

As the managers of The Sanborn Map Company, we contracted Centre Stage Band to perform at a party hosted by us for the New York State Association of Professional Land Surveyors Conference on Jan 21st 2004, at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Rochester New York. The best way for anyone to get a good idea of what Centre Stage Band is all about, is of course to attend a live show, About ninety percent of our large audience had never heard them before, the comments that we received during and after their performance were incredible, people could not believe the versatility of their material, not to mention their musical abilities, we highly recommend this band for any corporate party or function, with the understanding that you the client, will not only get your money's worth, but also an incredible musical experience.
