"We would like to extend our thanks -- and those of the other attendees -- for your performance at our fundraising party. Although we were busy socializing, playing games and, of course, eating, your music was much enjoyed and added to a very entertaining evening. We found your playing competent and professional, and the choice of jazz classics excellent and appropriate for the occasion and the audience. It was a pleasure to be able to listen to your performances while still being able to listen to the conversation around us."

- Peter and Lisa


"Dually Noted did such an amazing job on our wedding day. The music was absolutely perfect including the timing and introduction of both of the processionals. I can't tell you enough how much we appreciate the beautiful music you played on our wedding day. It totally set the mood and everyone commented about how awesome it was. All members of Dually Noted are extremely talented. I would recommend you to anyone that I know having an event in the Niagara region. Also, you were very organized which I greatly appreciate given I am the same way. Thank you for reaching out so early to ensure you had all of the music properly selected, organized and well rehearsed well in advance of our wedding. It's the little details like that which make all of the difference. You are extremely professional and I can't thank you enough for making our wedding day the best day of our lives. "

"Just wanted to thank you so much for the amazing performance! I don't think anything could have been better. All of our guests kept telling us how impressed they were with you guys. We had some advice cards on the table and it had a spot where it asked guests to draw a picture of their favorite part of the wedding.. quite a few of the cards mentioned the band as their favorite part.. we even got a drawing of you playing the upright bass. We couldn't be happier we decided to go with you guys for the wedding. Please don't hesitate to have any of your future clients contact me for a review.. I would be happy to share my great experience with them. "
