Mary Aceto from Boston Coach says: Last spring, I was asked
to put together a two-day offsite meeting for our top 60 corporate managers,
directors and executives. Our meeting was focused primarily on formulating our
companys mission, vision and values. Much of our work was accomplished
through group workshops and brainstorming sessions. We held our meeting at
the Mansion on Turner Hill in Ipswich Massachusetts, because it offered a
beautiful retreat-like setting. Our Management Team is
spread out across the country and it is not often that we get everyone
together. We wanted to be sure that, as part of this meeting we included a
social and fun evening event so everyone could relax, interact and have some
fun. Thats where White Lightnin comes in. I had heard the band play before
and knew that the music selections were varied enough to please all musical
tastes regardless of age. I also knew that their music is great to dance to
but I honestly thought, given the corporate setting, our employees would be
more likely to enjoy listening to the music. I was wrong! Almost from
the start, the dance floor was packed. Tony Gallo knew well in advance that
this was a business event and never played a slow musical piece throughout
the night. Im sure keeping the energy high all night was not easy but he and
his musicians appeared to be having as much fun as the audience. I have received countless
accolades for the meeting, particularly for booking such a great band. Music
IS in fact, motivating even for a group of business people! Behind the scenes, Tony
was a pleasure to deal with. He made great suggestions, kept me well informed
and showed an infectious enthusiasm for making our event a success. I would
highly recommend White Lightnin for any corporate event. They were great! End note: One of our
Directors was so impressed with the band that she hired White Lightnin for
her upcoming wedding. Now THATS a testimonial Mary Aceto Mary Aceto, Senior Vice
President Katie and Brian say: Last Fall, White Lightin
performed at our wedding. They were excellent! We knew that our choice
of the band could really make our celebration fantastic and it did just that.
The song selection and variety was great. The music kept all ages
entertained, and the dance floor was packed the entire night. I found Tony, and his
band professional and easy to work with through the planning meetings, as well
as during the event. The morning following our
wedding, our young flower girl was asked what her favorite part of the
wedding was her response was The Red Sox song they have so many fans!
Translation: while White Lightin was rocking out Dirty Water, there was not a
guest in their seat. Thank you White Lightin! Jeff and Dawn P. from Newburyport say: ..Tony, we wanted to
thank you for the excellent job you and your band did at our wedding this
summer. Everyone we talk to absolutely loved you guys. You might have been
able to tell by the amount of people on the dance floor. Whenever people
bring up the wedding, the first thing they mention is how cool the band was.
We couldn't agree more. Some people even went as far to say our wedding was
the best they'd ever been to!....We were very happy with the song selection,
and that you played lots of stuff we had requested. You also handled the
business end of things very fairly and professionally. Cindy and Keith S. say: ...Tony and band, Keith and
I wanted to thank you all for contributing to the wonderful environment at
Long Hill on our Wedding Day! You were all great, and our guests really
enjoyed you and the wide variety of music that was played. Thank You for
helping us to be able to furnish such a great band as yourselves. We will
happily recommend you to anyone who needs your services! With Thanks! Gabrielle and Emmanuel M. say: ...Tony, Just a note to
say thank you for the wonderful music at our Wedding. All our guests have
commented on the quality from White Lightnin'. We'll enjoy the memories
always! ...It was a pleasure to have worked with you, and all the details
came together! Please give our thanks to all the members of the band! From Joanne Torosian, Malden, MA: I found out about White Lightnin_ from Tony Gallo
when I had hired him for another function. I hired them for my 35th
high school reunion in September 2008. They were GREAT! Everyone
kept asking where I found them and I gave them some information. I hope
they_re around in 5 years so I can use them for my 40th high
reunion. You will not be disappointed as they are very accommodating to
the group they perform for. |
