class='clear_column'><\/div>\n<blockquote><p>Dear Marcus Malone and Motor City Party Band, We are so sorry it has taken us so long to write to you to say thank you very much for the amazing music you provided at our wedding reception in August. I started my new job as a teacher as soon as we got back from our honeymoon and since then it has been non stop work in the evenings and most weekends. We also moved fairly soon after the wedding and, although this was only to the flat next door, the move was quite stressful and took up a lot of our spare time.<\/p>\n<p>We had a fabulous time at our reception and we really had a fantastic time on the dance floor, as did many of our guest. The music we had at our wedding was very important to us and our parents, in order that the right atmosphere was created, and we couldn\u2019t have imagined the music and dancing to go any better. As soon as the the music stated the dance floor quickly filled up and it remained full all night. We really do feel that you are a truly brilliant band and so many of our friends and family have commented on how amazing you were.<br \/>\nMany, many thanks again and we wish you all well and hope you are all having a happy and successful New Year. Kind regards, Sarah and Keith Curtis<\/p>\n<p>Dear Marcus, As a music lover I had previously had nightmares about the quality of wedding entertainment on offer at weddings, especially after attending various others which I felt had been let down by a cheesy disco at the end, playing the usual dire mixture of songs from nasty wedding compilation albums, all I can say is they should have booked the Motor City Party Band because you were fantastic.<\/p>\n<p>The first dance of \u201cSomething\u201d by George Harrison, although not Motown, was covered with such finesse even my seriously fanatical Beatles fan friend was deeply impressed. Great vocals and a spot on guitar solo were the comments. You judged the mood perfectly throughout the evening, managing to get almost every single guest on the dance floor at some point. I think it speaks volumes for this to range from my 10 year old cousin to my 85 year old grandmother.<\/p>\n<p>Everyone was commenting on how wonderful the band was, some people said you were the best band they had ever seen! others said how they would like to book you themselves in the future, so expect some more contacts for sure.<\/p>\n<p>Finally I would like to say a special thanks for traveling to play for us, we look forward to booking you again in London either personally or as a recommendation at work. All the very best &#8211; Oliver and Claire<\/p>\n<p>Hi Marcus, Just wanted to say a huge thank you to you and the band for a wonderful performance on Friday. Everyone commented on how great you were. I hope you guys enjoyed it as much as Grant and I did. Thanks again. Best wishes, Sara<\/p>\n<p>Dear Marcus, Sorry this has been a while in coming forward, we have just returned from a fantastic honeymoon in Fiji and California (and now feel very cold indeed having been in 90+ degrees for the last three weeks!!)<\/p>\n<p>We had a great day on the wedding and I wanted to write to thank you for your utmost professionalism and dedication the job in hand -which was making our wedding evening a great night for everyone, and getting people who I\u2019ve never seen move out of their chairs at weddings previously, up on that dancefloor shakin their thang!! You were all we had hoped for and more and I can only genuinely thank you for helping our wedding to be so much fun.<br \/>\nEveryone commented on what a great band you are and how much fun you gave to the party. I was only too sorry that I didn\u2019t get to spend more time on the dancefloor (although that might have been in everyone\u2019s best interests given my general lack of co-ordination\u2026!!!) the night seemed to whizz by so fast, it was so much fun. I also would like to thank you for being flexible regarding the timings etc \u2013 my father and I had previously had a few heated debates about the fireworks as he kept changing his mind on the timings of doing it \u2013 so I really appreciated you being generous in your time and the general organisation of everything with him changing his mind at the last minute! Many thanks again and kind regards &#8211; Amy<\/p>\n<p>Hi Marcus Would just like to say how fantastic the performance by you and your band was on Saturday 2nd August. Every single person at the reception has commented on how great the music was and how you were able to get everyone dancing, young and old.<\/p>\n<p>The way you sang our first dance song was truly memorable and my wife even told me it was better than the original, which I agree with. Especially given the short amount of time in which you learnt the song. We wish to give our gratitude for make our wedding even more unforgettable, and would recommend you whole heartedly to everyone. Many thanks &#8211; Michael &amp; Dionne<\/p>\n<p>Just wanted to say a big thank you to the Motor City Group for playing at my wedding in May. They were absolutely brilliant and the dance floor was packed all night long! All my guests commented on how great they were and a few have even asked for your number for their upcoming weddings. Please pass my thanks to Marcus and the band.
