February 2008

Dear Sam,

We are so glad that bandleader Martin Nyberg recommended you to come and lead the dancing at our wedding reception in February. After our first dance, a slow waltz, you came out on the floor and invited my mother to join you to learn some Irish dance steps. The band struck up a reel, and suddenly the floor was filled with family and friends as you and my mom stepped out! You kept everyone going until our limo was at the door. Even the catering staff and our wedding coordinator were out dancing! You were definitely a hit at our wedding - my mom has heard from many of her friends about the great time they had - and we want to thank you for making it special and memorable for us and for our guests. Your enthusiasm, friendly manner, energy and expertise make it apparent that you love what you do, and we wish you continued success. To anyone who is considering an Irish ceili for their wedding reception, we have two words: GET SAM!

Sam,
Just a short note to express my gratitude for an my satisfaction with the dance music that you and the boys played for my daughters wedding! The spirit that you brought was absolutely energizing. I think that your leadership got everybody, that was able, dancing. Everyone seemed to have fun, even those few that were too old to dance.

Since the Wedding, I have told numerous people how most everyone was dancing. They seemed surprised that a wedding could see so many dancing. Your style and energy appealed to all.

Again, Thanks!

I cannot thank you enough for the great job you did at our wedding. Keith and I are still basking in the afterglow. My hope for our wedding was that it would be a fun and relaxing time for our friends and family, and you definately made that happen. You were great! You made the whole night. Thank you so much.

Hi Sam - I will definitely relay your message to Jill DeNike. She was simply another happy dancer at Neil's and my wedding. She has done quite a bit of dancing in her life, different types where callers were involved, and she said you were the easiest caller to follow that she's experienced. In short Sam - everyone loved you and I wouldn't be surprised if more people come knocking at your door. :) Hope you are enjoying your summer and hopefully Neil and I can catch you at a ceili sometime soon. - Karen

What can I say, other than that you are charming !

Hi Sam-

Great Prediction (see below!) I am finally getting a chance to take a small dent into my emails. Ryan and I enjoyed 5 days away on Vancouver Island and are now back to school.

A long the lines of your prediction, I think everyone did have a wonderful time. You, Brendan and the band added a special element to the evening, which both Ryan and I are grateful and thankful for your work.

We hope you had as much fun as we did. I am the one this time to have to apolygize for not being able to thank you all before you left. If you are ever in need of a recommendation, (don't think you would needone,) we would be more than happy to recommend you.

Hope your wedding plans and the day are well enjoyed and special for you guys.

Best Wishes,
Heidi and Ryan

I am sure that your testimony will be added soon!
