Testimonials

Dear Jamie, Trey and I want to thank you and the other members of Threshold for an incredible job you did at my February wedding reception. Our night could not have been more perfect. After all of the pre-wedding planning, the bride really doesnt want to worry about anything on her wedding night, including what the music will be like and whether people will enjoy it. And thats exactly how I felt. I enjoyed every song, and the dance floor couldnt have been more full. I also appreciated your openness to whatever the guests suggested. A groomsman was able to sing his favorite song at the microphone, my sister was able to sing a few songs along with the band, and Threshold played our beloved Sweet Home Alabama. We were glad our singing didnt scare you off. But it wasnt just the younger people on the dance floor. Some of our older guests truly enjoyed dancing to the fun beach music and oldies. To be honest, they showed us younger folks up. Many of our friends have described the night as Great, Fun, A Total Blast, and The Best Reception they had ever been to. This is exactly the effect we wanted our reception to have, and it would never have been like that without Threshold. I cannot thank you enough. If you ever have a need for a recommendation, or if a bride-to-be is worried and wants assurance from a former bride how great you are, please give me a call. Thanks again and I hope to hear Threshold again someday!

You guys were Great! Thank you so much for being a large part of what our daughter and new son-in-law called ?the best night of their lives?. Everyone wanted to know how we found you. We told them it was just luck. What we did was ask our daughter what kind of music she wanted. We picked out a song representative of that music. I went online and searched party bands that had that song in their play list. I played the different versions to my daughter and wife without telling them which band they were hearing. They selected the best sound. Threshold was clearly the best. In addition to your talented performance, we were very impressed with you professionalism! Your earned five stars from us in every category. Thank you again. We could not have been happier with the services you provided. Please do not hesitate to use us as a reference.

I have always maintained that the success of the prom is not determined by the countless hours spent in preparation and decoration. Rather, the success of the prom is determined by the quality of the music. Threshold band made our prom extremely successful!! You worked with the attendees taking requests, involving the dancers, and bringing students up on stage. Our school is culturally and ethnically diverse; yet, you were able to perform music that appealed to the entire group. You worked with the school administration full cooperation and honoring our professional requests. It was extremely satisfying and comforting to be in direct contact with you electronically. Your quick response to e-mails instilled confidence in your anticipated performance. A working telephone number may not sound like a major item, but it was good to talk with you as needed. Then, YOU WERE ON TIME for the event!! Professionalism is characteristic of your band and a very good reputation. I would highly recommend your band to any group. However, the most important fact is: ALL OF THE STUDENTS THOUGHT YOU WERE GREAT!!

I want to thank you and all the members of THRESHOLD for the wonderful job you did at Laura and Daves wedding reception on June 19 at the String and Splinter. Thanks also for all you did in advance to work out the necessary details. Your mix of music was great, and addressed the tastes of all ages present. Every detail was handled well and in a manner appropriate to the occasion, including all of the emcee duties that always are a part of wedding receptions. I hope we have the good fortune to attend other functions at which you perform. You guys are really good!!

I would like to thank Threshold for their role in making my daughters wedding on March 20 very special. The bands performance at the wedding reception at Bermuda Run Country Club was truly outstanding. Everyone and I mean everyone (300+) had positive comments about Threshold. The bands incredible talent and variety of music made for a great evening of entertainment. The dance floor was full all night. People were dancing that hadnt danced in years. The bands professionalism and attention to detail was very evident. The first dance songs for my daughter and I were done to perfection. Again, thanks for making my daughters wedding day so special. The memories will last her for a lifetime. If I need a band in the future, you can rest assured that Threshold will be my pick.
