Letters to Mike

from some satisfied clients

Dear Mike,

You and your band and Sweet Willie added just the right touch to make our anniversary party a really enjoyable event.  We noticed during dinner that you managed to weave in many of our suggested selections from the years when we danced together to some of the great bands.  It was a pleasure to be able to enjoy some conversation around the table while appreciating the background music.  Willie's genial witty emceeing was perfect and his selection for our first dance was just right.

Your adjustments in the pace for the rest of the evening were right on target, as the full complement of dancers throughout the evening proved.  

We hope to hear you some evening with Marilyn and Gene in a blues club setting.  Thanks for adding so much to our enjoyment of one of the most special events of our lives.

Sincerely,

Carol & Jerry Raposa

Hi Mike,

Just wanted to thank you for the amazing job that you all did at the anniversary party. My parents mentioned several times how much they enjoyed the music and they were so pleased that you were able to play so many of their old favorites. Please thank Willie and the others for us. Your music truly helped to make it a special evening!

Hi Mike,

We wanted to thank you again for the wonderful performance by you and your group at our reception. Our guests were very impressed and we're all still talking about how great the band was. You came through with all of our requests and performed beautifully. I was surprised to hear Mcartney's Mull of Kintyre. That was kind of an offbeat request, but you guys pulled it off with style.
We are very happy that we hired your organization, and will recommend others do the same. First class job, Mike! Thanks!

Dear Mike,

Jeff and I want to thank you so much for providing the perfect music for our wedding.  Everyone had such a wonderful time and we have received numerous compliments.  It meant a lot to us that you played my special request flawlessly.  It was surely a moment that we will never forget!  The band [Swingtet] was the icing on the cake for our celebration.  Thanks!

Marie & Jeff

We hired the Mike DiBari Trio to play the cocktail hour of our wedding at the Four Seasons in Boston on August 23, 2003.  They were outstanding, and even added a fourth player, a sax, to answer our request!  The music was lively, upbeat jazz that created the exact atmosphere that we had hoped to achieve for our guests, many of whom specifically praised our choice of cocktail hour music.  We strongly recommend the Mike DiBari Trio, without any reservations.

We really enjoyed the Mike DiBari trio.  The music was great -- just the right mood and volume. The guests really loved the music as well.  It was a beautiful complement to our very special day.

Heather and I enjoyed working with you from the beginning and you and the guys truly made our wedding day special. 

I have to say you were the most professional person that responded to our initial post looking for someone to play our wedding.  Your web site helped Heather and I get some background on who you were, what type of music you played, and the guys you played with.  I thought that was a great way to start, but then you sent the CD and we were really pleased. You wouldn't believe how many prospective people said they would send a CD or tape and never followed through!  I thought they wanted a gig!?  After listening, Heather and I went and saw you a couple of times at the Marriott Long Wharf, and that sealed the deal so to speak, you were great live. 

As you know, our wedding day was the weekend of a certain Hurricane! Wow, you wouldn't believe how stressful that was. Well the remnants of Isabelle hit the day before the wedding but our wedding day was beautiful.   I felt very comfortable knowing that I didn't have to worry about you and the band, that you'd be there set up and ready to go.  Sure enough, the wedding party came around the corner and opened the door to the reception room, and you guys started playing.  I have to say that was a highlight in my mind and something I won't forget.  I also want to thank you for your patience, as the weather was almost too good!  Most of our guests stood around outside soaking in the sights during the cocktail hour!    

I know that all of our guests thought you were fantastic, I hope you were able to tell by the applause that they gave you before the dinner break!  After dinner as the party started to move, the band did as well.  I thought that your judgment regarding the feel of the party was great, and I really appreciate the song you played for Heather and I, as we didn't really have a wedding song.  One other thing, if you see me trying to swing dance again, especially with my newlywed wife, stop me!  I thought I was going to have a heart attack from the hopping around (maybe I should go to the gym more?)!

Seriously though, I thought that you and guys helped make our wedding day something special.  I know Heather and I enjoyed the music, and have your new CD in our CD player's current rotation!  I hope that you keep us on your mailing list, and will absolutely recommend you to anyone I know.  Thanks again for a fantastic time

After the Mike DiBari trio responded to my ad for a band to play at our wedding reception, I checked out their website.  The mp3 samples he provided sounded great, but I figured, "Ah, they were probably recorded and engineered.  There's no way he sounds that great live."  So I went down to check out their regular gig at the Marriott Long Wharf in Boston.  To my delight, they sounded just as good live as they did in their studio recording!  I was impressed already, so I decided to hire them for our reception.  

Their communication on the needs and expectations for the performance was excellent, their price was extremely fair, and they were even willing to travel well outside of Boston.  On the day of the wedding, they were there right on time to set up, and they played all of the special requests we had, as well as their own selections.  The music was perfect!  The Trio did an amazing job setting the mood and providing exactly the right feel for our reception.  All of the guests and the wedding party were very impressed by their professionalism and musical talent, including several guests who were professors and students of the musical arts.  

All in all, we could not have asked for a better band to play at our reception, and we would highly recommend them to anyone who is looking for high quality musical entertainment.  Kudos to Mike DiBari and his Trio!

Dear Mike,

Bloomingdale's at Chestnut Hill wishes to thank you and your talented trio of musicians for your performances in our store, both in March and August of 2002. Our customers enjoyed your music tremendously. It was a pleasure working with you from a planning standpoint as well, and your courtesy, professionalism and promptness are greatly valued.  We look forward to working with you again in the future!

It gives me great pleasure to write a few comments on Mike DiBari's trio and their performance at my Dad's 90th surprise birthday party.

First, I enjoy and respect the trio's musical capabilities and appreciate Mike's easy-going song style. My Dad may be 90, but he is as energetic as a 65 year old -- so I wanted the music to be "fun". Michael completely understood the kind of upbeat musical standards I wanted, and he delivered as promised. In all our communications, Mike responded promptly and professionally. The day of the party, he and his trio members showed up on-time as promised. The music contributed considerably to making the party a success. I would hire Mike again and recommend him to my friends.

Sincerely,

Alice Hackman

We had a blast and your band [Swingtet] was really great - a definite hit with the group as seen by the dancing!  I have copied Fred on this as he will be much better capturing the thoughts for you! Thanks for everything, 

Kate Duffy

Truly a great experience! The band provided exactly the soundtrack we wanted for our event. We had a wide range of guests in attendance, and they all thoroughly enjoyed listening and dancing to your music ! We will most certainly recommend you to our friends in the area.
