Traditions Make Events Memorable and More Meaningful

Posted by Larry Corley - August 7, 2013 - Cheryl's Blog

While “Phoenix” plays a variety of events, my favorite events are wedding receptions. Few events can match the joy that is evident on so many levels. Obviously, the love shared by the bride and groom takes center stage followed by the love of family and friends but many couples take their event to another level […]

Song Choices

It’s the Perfect Song! Or Is It? Weddings are sentimental events. Special songs are a wonderful way to convey love and commitment, parental love and support or to carry a theme through an event. Choosing songs to make a statement should be done with care to make sure you are expressing exactly what you mean […]

Why Live Music is the Best Choice for your Event

The date has been set and the venue has been booked.  Choosing the entertainment is the next step – and it’s vital.  After all the effort and attention to detail you’ve exerted for an event to remember, most guests will only remember two things – if the food was good and if they enjoyed the […]

Raves about Phoenix

Dear Cheryl, We want to thank you and the Phoenix Band for all you did to make our wedding reception so incredible. Throughout our entire planning process you were so helpful, and we couldn’t have asked for better music and entertainment that night. We heard so many compliments about how amazing the band was. We didn’t think our guests would ever stop dancing! Also, it was so special to us to have Armenian dancing, and we very much appreciate all that you did to make it fit into your set. Thank you for providing quality music and for doing so in such a kind way. We will definitely be recommending you to friends and family in the future.
Allison & Zach
To the band, You are awesome…thank you for creating such a wonderful musical celebration and party. It will be a night that we will remember FOREVER!
Katie & Jason
Dear Gang, Our Christmas Party would not have been complete without you. We all enjoyed your music and want you to know that we appreciate all of you. Thanks again for giving us a wonderful evening.

Dear [Phoenix], I Just wanted to tell you what an important part you played in Linda & Mark’s celebration. Your band was terrific! We enjoyed the evening of dancing – whether it was the joyous Jewish dances, the lively popular, or the romantic slow. You played them all wonderfully.
Marilyn Levy
Dear [Phoenix], Thank you so very much for helping make Meg & Pat’s reception very special. Everyone was asking about the band and I was proud to say it was “Phoenix”. A good band can help to make a party a great success and yours certainly did.
Marianne Burnes
Dear [Phoenix], I can’t begin to tell you what a delight it was to meet you on Saturday night. You and your band were not what I expected AT ALL. You were TEN-THOUSAND TIMES BETTER! You guys were great. You shook the bones of the young and old alike. You got people up, out of their seats, and dancing that hadn’t shaken a tailfeather since people actually called it “shaking a tailfeather”. Anyway, you guys were the personification of professionalism. YOU were courteous, accomodating, entertaining, patient, and talented. I know for a fact that, spurred on by your music, everyone in that room had the night of their lives. My dad, in fact, told me that he was asked no less than 20 times, “Who IS that band?” You guys were tops. I assure you that if anyone ever asks me to recommend a band for any sort of function in the future, I will not hesitate to give The Phoenix Band my unequivocable nod of 100% support, and when I say that, I speak on behalf of my parents as well as Tessi a… Read more

Dear Phoenix, We want to thank you for the wonderful evening of music you provided at our daughter’s wedding…from the piano player during cocktails, to the quartet during dinner, followed with the band helping us to dance the night away. Your group “made the celebration”! Everyone loved the music and the dancing. We cannot thank you enough! Your participation in our wedding celebration most certainly enhanced the celebration. Everyone loved the band and we almost got the “whole room dancing” at one point of the evening! You have quite a variety in song selection which appealed to almost everyone in the room. The professionalism displayed from beginning to end was evident. I will recommend you to anyone that needs a musical group. Thanks!

Hi Cheryl! Jason & I just wanted to thank you for such a wonderful evening on Saturday. We had such a great time, and we received so many compliments on the music! Our guests enjoyed listening to you & visiting with friends & family. I knew that would be the big challenge – getting our two talkative & social families to stop talking & start dancing! We had several people comment on the volume of the band. They appreciated the music while still being able to hear the person they were speaking with. The Phoenix Band did such a super job! We could not have been happier! Please feel free to use as a a reference anytime! Thanks again!
Liz & Jason Rees
Cheryl, Kyle and I want to thank you and the band for a wonderful evening on Sept 4th. Our guests really enjoyed listening to your music during the cocktail hour and dinner and then dancing the night away. Thank you for being a part of our celebration and for also being great to work with. I hope our paths cross again and definitely Kyle and I will recommend you for other engagements, just as Anne and Greg Petersen did for us. Thanks again for making our wedding reception so much fun!
Melissa and Kyle Earthman
Just wanted to let you know how happy we were with the Phoenix Band. The Phoenix band was amazing! They did a perfect job with both the light music during dinner and the dance music after. Everyone had so much fun dancing, even our parents (who probably hadn’t danced since their wedding)! I got so many compliments on the band, eveyone wanted to know who they were, and I was thrilled to give them their name. They also did a great job keeping me on track to get the first song and other key moments rolling. We couldn’t be happier with our choice. Thanks again!
Rebecca Brandsted-Cowan
Dear Cheryl, Thank you for the wonderful evening of music and entertainment you provided for our family and friends at Lindsey’s wedding. Many of our guests complemented us on having such a wonderful band. You were able to provide wonderful fun for all age groups present. Not only did the young children dance the night away, but the 85 year olds were out on the dance floor as well. Once again, we are so appreciative of all you did to make our evening special. Thank you so much!
Jo Wells
Dear Cheryl, Thank you so much for all of the help you gave to us leading up to the wedding day. With all of the planning that goes into a wedding, it was an absolute pleasure working with you and knowing that we could rest easy and leave the job in your capable hands. We’d listened to a great number of bands while sorting out our options, and when I came across your website, it made our choice of bands a very easy decision. The website was easy to use, had a great demo selection, and had excellent music … then once we started corresponding and we found out how accomodating and friendly you are, it sealed it! As for the wedding reception itself, we can’t say enough. After returning from our honeymoon, we spoke with a whole bunch of family and friends, and not one conversation ended without rave reviews of the band. You had such a great sense of timing, kept the party going, and gave everyone a wonderful night to remember. The bottom line is: you guys were awesome and made o… Read more

Cheryl, I heard a great compliment about you guys today! The lady that took over for my class while we were on our honeymoon has a niece who is getting married in June. I gave her your name…and she had mentioned they had already booked a DJ….however, after talking with you, they were so excited….they decided to book you….YEAH!!!!!!! Such great music you play…and such great people skills you have!
Katie Foristal
Dear Cheryl, On behalf of Mariellen and myself, I would like to thank you for the entertainment you provided at our wedding reception. Mariellen and I discussed at great length how to allocate our money for the wedding. We decided that the only thing people remember about weddings is whether or not they had a good time. Therefore, we elected to go with a first class band. Needless to say, we were definitely not disappointed. Your band made our reception an unforgettable evening for everyone…. With Kindest Regards,
Jason & Mariellen Ponfil
Cheryl and Phoenix Band, Andy and I wanted to send you a quick note to say thank you very much for playing at our wedding.  You all did a fabulous job and really got people dancing!  We had several guests compliment your band.  Also, thank you for learning the Otis Redding song for the father/daughter and mother/son dance, it sounded great.  Last, but not least…thanks for letting the groom sing with the band.  So much fun and definitely makes a great memory!
Alicia and Andy
Dear Cheryl, Larry, and Fabulous Phoenix Band, Paul and I could not have chosen a better band for our wedding. You were great! You really made our reception. There were so many positive comments about how good you were and questions about where we got you. Cheryl, thank you for keeping everything moving. Your reminders of what to do next were so helpful. I was overwhelmed! We are so grateful to you! Loved, loved, loved your music! Many comments on the variety of music you played. You succeeded in making everyone happy! Especially us!  Hope to hear you play more at future events. Let us know. Thank you all so much!
