Wedding Hempstead House- Sands Point Preserve


Henry, thank you so much! We had a spectacular evening and a large part of that had to do with Only
In America Band's exceptional performance. Not only are you all extraordinarily talented but the
energy you created resonated so well with the room. We received numerous compliments throughout the
evening. Lauren and I are in Thailand for the next 2 weeks but we are more than happy to provide
references at any point in the future! We sincerely thank you for all the hard work and effort you
and OIA put in to make the day truly special.
Best Regards,
Lauren & Doug

Glenn and Wilma Aprile The Woodlands Country Club, Woodbury, NY


Thank you and the band for doing such a wonderful job at our wedding. I can't tell you how many
compliments we received regarding the entertainment. Thanks also for taking the time to learn the
Latin numbers, special requests for the first dance and the parent dances and adding the sax at
cocktail hour. We are also very grateful that you learned to play How Great is Our God and I Can Only
Imagine for our ceremony. You played the pieces beautifully and it made the ceremony particularly
special and personal to us. Please send our thanks to Susie and the rest of the band again.
Hope to see you again at dueling pianos or one of your gigs whenever we are back in NY.
All the best,
Glenn and WilmaCoveliegh Country Club

Thank you for EVERYTHING Henry! You guys were AMAZING! Everyone was
raving about the music. You guys included everyone by playing various
genres and modern classics everyone could enjoy. I especially enjoyed
the personal touches you played like, "You're so beautiful" and "I
like how it Feels"!!!! Saturday was the best day of my life! Thank
you for making it so memorable.
We will definitely refer Only In America, and who knows when we may
need you again for another party, haha.Thank you again,

Wedding in Turks and Caicos


Where do I start- with all the demands from the Turks and Caicos government, rental of equipment,
and customs, you came through with shinning colors. Your entire group were a pleasure to work with
and the guests are still talking about the music. Many guests asked for your information and once I
told them you are from the NY area they were even more excited
Again thank you for everything and hope you get many bookings. Healthy and Happy New Year to all.
Thank you,Mary Geisenheimer Saturday, September 24th, 2011 Buonasera Wedding at the Water Club in NYC
Dear Henry, Jacquie and the rest of your great band,
Just wanted to say how much everyone enjoyed your band at John and Susan Buonasera's wedding last
week. The dance numbers were great, the interlude songs were great, everyone just loved the evening
because of your music.
And thank you so much for helping me with Feels Like Home - the backup music and vocal harmonies made
this a special treat for John and Susan that they are still humming.
Best wishes for continued success in your music careers - you are all very talented people!!!
Sincerely,
Patti Haar




Wedding at the Tarrytown House


We are home from our honeymoon and I am finally checking my email! I have over 500 to sort through,
so I've been avoiding the task!
You and your band were AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I knew you would be as I had a blast at
Maggie and Colleen's weddings, but I must say you really blew us and the whole place away!!!
Everyone, EVERYONE is saying how much they LOVED the music and could not believe how fantastic you
were!!!!!!!!!!!!
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for a memorable, exciting, wonderful night!!!
Goodnight, Irene is RIGHT!!!

Sarah and Peter

Wedding Carlyle on the green


My husband and I saw “Only in America” play at his best friend’s wedding in August ’10 and they blew
us away, really made the wedding outstanding. So of course as soon as we got engaged we hired them!!
They performed the music for our ceremony, cocktail hour and reception. Now our family and friends
are all talking about how amazing our band was.
They played everything we could ask for. From the Sinatra that wooed our older guests to the Lady
GaGa that drove everyone on the dance floor, it was all better than we could have imagined. Several
of our guests are accomplished musicians and even they were very impressed with the band’s talent and
showmanship.
Henry, Jackie and the whole gang are not only talented, they are true professionals who clearly love
what they do and it shows. I must also add that I was a really nervous and over planning bride, but
Henry was so easy to work with prior to the wedding, and responded to all our inquiries and requests
in a timely manner. He made me feel really confident that the music would be exactly what we wanted,
and it was. One of the things I was worried about was the music for our first dance. Would it sound
like the real song? Would it be too fast or slow for our rehearsed dance? They knocked it out of the
park. It was as if Ray LaMontagne himself was there on stage and had been practicing our dance with
us! I couldn’t be any happier, in case you can’t tell.
Thank you for making our day so memorable! Anyone who passes up the chance to have “Only In America
band” at their wedding is crazy!!
Julianne and Joe





Wedding Smithtown Landing


You guys were phenomenal and everyone raved about you guys all night long as well as today. A BIG
THANK YOU so much for making our Wedding so much fun. I have never seen Mikey dance so much! we loved
everything you played.
I feel awful that Michael and I didn't get to say goodbye as well. I think we all had a lot going
on. We wanted to thank you at the end of the night but i just got caught up saying goodbye to
everyone. Michael and I would like to catch up with you when we get back from our honeymoon so we
will give you a call.Thank you again.
Sara and Michael




Hughs/Teagle Wedding at the Fountain Head Inn


GREAT JOB!!Both Henry and Jackie did an excellent job as the band leaders. I want to thank
you on many fronts. 1. The Band was FANTASTIC! and everyone raved about them. The songs they
play covered all types of music.
2. Music was continuous, never a second without music.. ( People never saw a band play continuously)
3. The songs, Beginnings and People Get Ready were Great. They were a totalsurprise because I thought
you were not going to play them. The guitar playing in people get ready was EXCELLENT.
4. The inter action of the singers with the party, singing on the dancefloor was again GREAT!
5. the last 30 min, I pulled up a chair by the band and just sat and listened to them...I would
recommendt the band to anyone.When you play next time in Yonkers, I will stop by.I leave for Germany
on 5/24 for 90 days so I hope you play before I leave. GREAT JOB!!!!!
Regards,Rob(father of the bride)


Deringerand Janson Wedding Cooperstown, NY


Nothing we could fit in this space could sufficiently express our appreciation for your
contribution to our wedding. You and Jacqueline and the band were incredible. And we should have
expected as much given your reputation. What we did not see coming, however, was how good-natured,
considerate and accomodating you would be in the months leading up to our big day. We took great
comfort in knowing that a critical element of our wedding was in the hands of a true professional.
Which is what you are, even before the piano comes out.
Thanks so much for everything.
Kate and Matt Janson




Wedding Grand Summit Hotel, New Jersey(Bobinger Wedding)


Thanks so much to you and the rest of the band. We had the most wonderful night and it was made even
better by the great music. The band was simply wonderful and you had guests dancing all night long.
My daughter especially could not get enough of the dance floor and is still talking about it. We've
had so many people compliment us on the band and we couldn't have been happier to have you guys help
us celebrate. I have urged Melissa to recommend you guys to her future brides. Please let me know if
there are any websites, etc. on which I can post my rave review.
Thanks again!!
Lindsey

Thanks for the kind words! I CANNOT express how wonderful our wedding was. Jackie, you and the rest
of the band were phenomenal!! All of our guests raved on how amazing you all were. Everyone was on
the dance floor having a good time. Thank you so much for accommodating all our needs and requests.
We couldn't of have had a better time. The song choices were perfect!! A few of our engaged couples

recommendations.
Thanks a ton!!




Tracy and Dennis Cavanagh Wedding Trumpets at the Gate


Sorry it has taken me so long to get back to you, just trying to catch up on everything. You guys
were FANTASTIC, to be honest we could not have been happier. Tess and I had so much fun dancing the
night away. I can not count how many compliments we received about you and the band(we are still
getting them almost a month later). I think you had everyone on the dance floor. Thanks again for
everything.




Tess and John Powell Wedding Montauk Manor


What an amazing wedding we had on Sunday night!! The band was absolutely incredible!! That dance
floor was packed from the beginning of the wedding to the end, the music was exactly what we wanted,
and everything was simply PERFECT!!
Henry was a top-notch coordinator, everyone was WONDERFUL, and I will sing your praises from now to
eternity!
Thanks so much for a memorable night! You can use us anytime for a recommendation for the band. We
will tell everyone how fantastic you guys are!
Joan





Weiss/Levine Wedding


We just wanted to quickly email you and thank you guys for doing such a great job with the wedding.
The music at all times was fantastic and the energy for the dancing after dinner was superb. As
Henry can attest, if you ever find yourselves in need of "more cow bell" for the band, I have a
groomsman who will quickly volunteer. Guests were asking about the band all night and hopefully you
can count on some shows in the future hosted by some of our friends who were impressed with the
performance at the reception!
Thanks again for everything and "Don't Stop Believin'",
Callie and Rob




Wow! Talk about A-Game!


You guys were absolutely amazing last night. So many guests came up to us throughout the night to
express what an incredible job you guys were doing and we have received a bunch more calls today. You
set the tone from the start and kept the dance floor full all night long. The "MC'ing" was perfect.
Erica and I were so happy with all of you. Some of our favorites were; Just Like Heaven, Love Shack,
A Little Respect, Scenes from an Italian Restaurant, Runaround Sue, You Make Me Feel So Young, and
Baby It's Cold Outside.
Your transitions between tunes was flawless and your ability to switch genres was effortless.
Would you guys happen to have a setlist that you could send to us? We would love to have that.
Thank you again. You are all incredible. Will be in touch for a 40th anniversary for my parents in
the near future.
Should you need a reference, we would be happy to recommend you.
You rock!
John and Erica Scarrone
