testimonials

I was going to write you today too. I wanted to thank you for all that you did - from performing to arranging all our additional music components. Everyone commented on how great the music was - how wonderful you guys were - how it was just the right volume, the song choices were excellent, and there was a great vibe onstage. My friends loved the DJ - he was awesome and the klezmer worked out perfectly. The music can make or break a night and in the case, it was just so perfect.

Avital & I just want to thank you again for an amazing night, never to be forgotten. You guys were absolutely incredible. Our guests are all still talking about how fantastic you guys are. You made our evening incredible, especially our first dance as husband & wife. It is a memory we will cherish forever.
It is unfortunate that we do not have more opportunites to celebrate and enjoy a party together, but 1 thing is for sure, we can't wait to see you in years to come at our future children’s bar & bat mitzvahs!

Hi Denis,

Thanks so much for the email and for eveything. You were incredible and I know that you're going to be gretting A LOT of business from the great job you did at our wedding. I'm sure you heard that my brother got engaged on August 10th, so I'm sure we'll be seeing you again soon!!

Thanks again. You're the best!

Thank you so much for your hard work. We both really appreciated it.
Everyone kept telling us just how good you were!

I thought you were great! So many people commented on how much they enjoyed the band!!! It was a great party, and everyone seemed to enjoy themselves. There was good energy in the room!!!

Hi Denis

We wanted to thank you very very much for being so amazing at our wedding. We were very happy and think you definitely contributed to making our night everything we wanted. Also, thanks for the recording of our song. I hope our little dance did it justice at the wedding.
Now that we're back from our honeymoon in the Turks and Caicos Islands....we've started to hear from our friends and family who also commented on how great the band was. So thank you again!
Take care,
Stacey Cohen and Shaun Segal, wedding, Beth Zion, July 1, 2007

Last night was a total success. Your music and band members were fantastic. All our guests could not believe how professional the sound and voices were. You kept to our schedule and helped make our wedding the evening Stacey and Shaun dreamed of. The last song you played for Stacey shows us that you really care about the people that hire you.

Thank you so much!! Corey and I have not stopped talking about how incredible the band was. All the guests have been raving about The Fundamentals and we truly couldn't have been happier with the music. The party was so much fun and we felt that the guests and the band shared the same fabulous energy. You are all so talented!!!

"Whenever I see your smiling face" will now remind me of what a great wedding we had!!

Bernie & I want to thank you and the entire band for making our wedding so much fun. We initially chose you after listening to many different bands because aside from your great voices, you had a nice way of interacting with the crowd.
This certainly came through at our wedding. Everybody had only great things to say about the music and all the band members. You were able to cater to the different age groups and had everyone dancing all nite long.

Warm regards,

Denis -

You guys were terrific and we got many compliments on the music all night.

Thanks for being so professional and easy to work with. It was a pleasure having you and the band there. Hopefully you had fun as well. We have a few more Montreal weddings in the coming year or two, so undoubtedly we will see you in action again.
Until then, be well, and if you have any more gigs in Rome, Tamara and I would like to volunteer as "roadies."

Best,

I was very happy to meet you........ All the guests at the wedding were talking about the fabulous band we had.... More than half of the guests were from out of town and they thought you guys and the singer were terrific.....
Tamara told me that she had to tell you to stop as she was soooo exhausted she thought she might pass out.... The guests did not want to stop partying.

Thanks again.

We just got back from Tahiti last week, it was AMAZING! We really enjoyed the wedding, it was beautiful. We only wish we could have danced more that night.
You guys were fantastic (as always). We received so many compliments from the guests!
Dave and I really enjoyed working with you and getting to know you and your beautiful family. It was a fun ride and we hope to see you play at Old Orchard or Bistro Westminster sometime soon.

Gregory and I want to thank you so much for playing at our wedding. People are still talking about the night. You made our wedding night perfect. It is everything that I dreamed it would be. We had an amazing time and I wish that we can have the party again (minus the expense). Thank you so much for making our drems come true.

Denis,

We had such a great time! You guys rocked! Our guests don't stop telling us what an excellent time they had and how good the band was. Our first song, "This year's love" was perfect and we loved when the band came out onto the dance floor!

Thank you again for such a memorable evening!

Dear Denis (and the rest of the Fundamentals),

Darren and I would like to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for making our wedding FUN, ENTERTAINING, and FULL OF ENERGY. You were absolutely fantastic! We couldn't keep ourselves off the dance floor. Everybody commented about how amazing you were! Even though everything was perfect, what was very special and unique to us was the way you played our wedding song (Crash into Me). WOW! Denis, we had chills (we still have them just thinking about it)! It was absolutely PERFECT. I don't think any other band (except for Dave Matthews) could have played/sang this song so beautifully.

Thank you so much! It really made our night extra special. We didn't really get a chance to talk to you during the night because we were dancing the entire time!

So, to all of you, A BIG THANK YOU! You ROCK! We can't wait to have you at our next simcha!

Andrew Slutzky - groom
Wedding at Windsor Ballroom, August 13, 2006

Hi Denis,

I was a little disoriented yesterday from the whole party weekend and you jumped the gun on me when you emailed me first.
I want to personally thank you for all the calls you put up with. I know it's not easy when a client tries to tell the professional what he would like.But from the first time I heard you I knew that this was the band I wanted and then had to convince the kids who never heard you before. But I did and the feedback from my guests is even more gratifying when they tell me how great the music was.

I really feel that your play-list reached out to all age groups, and fortunately the older group was not that old. Your smoothness and quality of voice were superb and the musicians you have are top notch. Your sets were amazing and the clock was never an issue. You seemed to really be enjoying yourself and that would probably explain why the effort was above and beyond. The times when you walked onto the floor and when your

saxophonist and guitarists did solos were outstanding. You truly met my expectations and then some. But I still don't get the whole Phish thing!

Kidding aside, it was a pleasure working with you and I do look forward to doing it again. Hopefully by the time my boys are ready we won't be in an old folks home.

Steve Sacks
Father of the bride
Wedding at the Windsor Ballroom, Montreal August 13, 2006

Thanks again.

Well Denis what more can I say than amazing! Thank you so much for being such a big part of mine and Jason's special night - it exceeded every expectation we could have had for our wedding day and was by far the best night of our lives. Your rendition of our first song was absolutely amazing and brought us to tears - we really felt as though we were the only ones in the room and at a private concert. And now, how could I not mention the party - let's just say we wanted a crazy party where no one left the dance floor and that was exactly what we got!! (except of course when I left to jump on stage). People did not stop commenting about how great you guys were and how the band really helped to make the party.

Thank you a million times over from Jason and I and our families for making our wedding night what it was, you guys are truly amazing and we feel so lucky to have had you as our band.

Hope to see and hear you soon,
Andrea Feiderer and Jason Galindo

We can't thank you enough for the wonderful evening your band gave us for our wedding. You were everything we had hoped for. We loved your choice of music and the energy of all the musicians. You guys contributed greatly to the fabulous success of this party.

Hi Denis!

Howard and I want to thank you and every member of your band for such an incredible party ! Every song you played was amazing - especially the horah and the dedications, and we are so thrilled with the entire evening. You had the entire room on their feet and wanting to dance, and the way you guys came out on the floor and interacted with the guests was so fantastic!!!

Everyone was raving about the band, but not more than Howard, myself and our families. So again, thank you!!!

Hope to see you again at another celebration.

Take care,

You did it again! Even better!

They say wine gets better with age...nine months later...and your music improves and sounds wonderful.

Thank you.

Hope to catch up with you in the future.

I really appreciate that you did the song for Susan and I - by David Gray...The One I Love...

This is what I wanted to say to my wife...she is the one I love... So thanks for singing it as a bonus to us and for playing longer.

You are a mensch!

Wedding at Shaar Hashomayim, June 15, 2006

Denis,

Thank you so much for the note and the amazing night ! You guys outdid yourselves. Every wedding you do is amazing. We chose you guys cause you know how to make a party. Also, you're the only band in Montreal that had a demo DVD to send us and we weren't choosing a band without hearing them. It is imperative for out of towners and I don't think any other band in Montreal has figured that out.

You guys were amazing and so many people said it !! We will see you at Talia Caron's wedding in November.

Thanks again,

I was extremely happy with the whole evening! You guys were fantastic, the night was hitch-free and everyone seemed to be having a good time!

Hope to see you soon and good luck with everything (ie. new CD - which I haven't heard yet but my mom says is great, new baby!!!)

Dear Denis:

After waiting almost nine months to see the wedding video, Alaina and Avi finally invited us over for a private viewing. How scary is it to realize that I could not remember half the things I saw played out in the video. What did stand out was how fabulous the music was and the fact that our guests were dancing ALL the time. You and your group really did a phenomenal job and I truly thank you again. I actually relived the wedding this weekend (as did Issie), tears and all. Hope all is well with you. Take care. Hopefully we'll see each other soon.

Denis,

Mitch and I had the night of our lives last Sunday. Thank you to the entire band for being such a big part of that. We have to say that of the many people we dealt with in planning the wedding none were more professional than you. You delivered on every promise and genuinely cared about making the night perfect for us. We know the extra rehearsal time it took to get our first song down pat. It meant so much to us and sounded absolutely perfect. As for the rest of the night, you guys were amazing, as usual. You put me at ease knowing you were running the show.

As you know, we will recommend you guys to everyone we know. We can't wait to party with you at the next wedding!

Samara Zavalcoff & Mitch Shein
Wedding at Chevra Kadisha, April 2, 2006

Hey Denis,

Thank you so much for your warm wishes. Pammy and I had an absolutely amazing time at our wedding. You and the rest of the guys (and girl) really contributed to the evening. Like I told you when we first booked you, we were going to base our wedding date around your availability. The people loved you and made sure we knew it.

It goes without saying that we would recommend you to anyone!! You guys rock and are hands down Montreal's best band. I am sure we will see you at other parties, and we can't wait. Take it easy and please do keep us informed of your musical successes and developments.

Denis!

Thank you so much for a wonderful time on Saturday night. I have a feeling that if you had continued playing, you would still have people on the dance floor! I cannot tell you how many compliments I received today to let me know how much fun people had, that they danced so much and that the band was incredible. Incredible, amazing, wonderful and fun are adjectives that have been used non stop this morning - all in reference to the party and the band.

Thank you to you and your team for making our evening memorable. We had a great time and we will definitely be in contact in the New Year.

Happy holidays and a happy and healthy New Year!

Hi Denis,

James and I just returned from our honeymoon and wanted to write a quick note to express our thanks to you for your tremendous contribution to our wedding day. It was a pleasure working with you. Your input proceeding the wedding was essential and helped to make everything easier - it was a key part of making the day run so smoothly.

The night was even more special than we imagined. We were especially thrilled that you were able to fulfill our song requests. The music was a huge part of both the ceremony and the reception, and you and your band played beautifully (and rocked out!).

We would be happy to act as a reference, should any of your future clients be interested in a recommendation.

We look forward to partying with you in the future!

All our best,

Thank you for your email. Now that we are home from our honeymoon, and settling back into "real-life", we finally have the chance to sit down and write. We want you to know that you and the rest of the band, did an outstanding job at our wedding. We had pretty high expectations and you even surpassed them!

We are continuing to get compliments from our friends and family about how much they enjoyed the music and ambience at our wedding, in which you played an integral role.

We truly enjoyed working with you during the time leading up to our wedding and we enjoyed every minute dancing the night away that evening! We wish you continued success and we will unreservedly recommend the Fundamentals in the future.

This is well overdue - I just wanted to send you a HUGE thank you for making our wedding such an amazing night! We had such a good time, it was better than we ever thought it would be! Everyone had so much fun, and all I heard all night was how great the band was - people are still talking about it, and wished you played in NYC! Thanks for helping with the order of events, I'm not sure what I would have done without your expertise. You all made it such an upbeat, fun night - thank you so much!!

Hi Denis,

What can I say - the band was great! The dance floor was hopping all evening and so many people commented on what a great band you guys are.
Of course, those were my guests from out of town who had never heard you before! The other guests, already big fans of the Fundamentals, were, of course, expecting you to be fantastic and you certainly didn't disappoint them!

It was a wonderful party and Stefanie and Michael loved every minute of it! Thanks so much for helping us create a night to remember. It is always a pleasure working with you. Are you available in March 2017 for my grandson's Bar Mitzvah??????

Our wedding would not have been the same without you. We got so many compliments on your work, and everyone had a great time dancing. It was exactly what I wanted, and was truly the happiest night of my life. You were a pleasure to work with all of the way through, and I will be passing that news around as much as possible. I'll send you a photo as soon as I have one!

All the best,

Hi Denis -

Thanks for your message and the lovely sentiments. Dara and I returned from our honeymoon in Spain last week so sorry for the delay in getting back to you. We both had a wonderful time at the wedding. Everyone is still raving about it. Your band did a tremendous job getting everyone on the dance floor. Your singer absolutely nailed Madeleine Peyroux's vocals in her cover of Leonard Cohen's "Dance Me To The End Of Love".
We only hope our feeble attempt at dancing didn't take away from the performance. Perhaps you'll get the chance to play it again at another wedding?...No finder's fee required. Several people have also commented how much they enjoyed the slow acoustic numbers you played during dinner (e.g, "Heart of Gold"). It was a nice touch. If you need a reference we'll be happy to supply one.

Thanks again for making our special day a memorable one.

We want to thank you for your wonderful music. You and your team are "fundamentally" "sound". Everyone loved the music and the way you transform yourself during the set. Rori and Dave loved the rendition of David Gray. We look forward to june 15 next year at Carlie & Jordan's wedding. So get ready and keep your amps plugged in.

Thanks again,

Hi Denis,

Thank you so much for an absolutely incredible event. You and the band helped make our big day better than we ever could have imagined. The music was amazing - and we can't wait to get the video so that we can hear our first dance song again. You should really record that yourself!

So many people at the wedding told us that you guys were the best cover band they'd ever heard - and I think the number of people dancing the entire night made that perfectly clear. We just had so much fun, and it's really to your credit.

Thank you, thank you... It means so much to us that you and the band put so much energy into our night.

job at our wedding. We had the best time and everyone absolutely adored you guys.
You were incredible but I had no doubt you would be! Thanks for such a nice email and for making our wedding so special and so much fun. Paul
apologizes for not saying goodbye, he had a little too many shots and was unfortunately in the bathroom for the last 30 minutes of the
wedding! That's my husband for you!!!!!!! Anyway, take care and we can't wait to see you soon, we
will definitely see you at a few weddings in the upcoming years but otherwise we will stop by and see you play at Old Orchard or your other
venues! You guys are completely amazing, thank you a million times over!!! Ciao from Italy!

What can I say? You are terrific! Thank you so much for everything. The Fundamentals really made the night and as tired as we were I only wish
we could have stayed and listened to you for another hour. The DVD's went flying out the door, people were asking for them before they were
finished being put out. Everybody that Mark and I have spoken to has commented about the music, you guys made the evening. Again, thank you
and I hope that we see each other again soon.

Please pass this on to the other members of the band since you've already heard me sing your praises!

Anthony and I just wanted to thank you once again for helping make our wedding the most special night it could be- not to mention you helped make our wedding the craziest party of our lives! :-) You guys were
fantastic- You sounded wonderful. The energy level was up from the moment you guys began playing and you played your hearts out all night.
You made everyone have a fun time- not that our crowd needed much help anyway! Having you play at our wedding was something we knew we wanted from the day we got engaged and you certainly did not disappoint! Our first song was so special and sounded fabulous and you guys kept the tempo of the night moving so that the evening ran as smoothly as possible. Really- people cannot stop raving about how wonderful you all were and we want you to know that you made the night that much more memorable for us.

We'll be sure to see you soon- seeing as I'm sure you'll be playing at most of the future/upcoming weddings we'll be attending!

Thanks for everything...

You played all the songs we wanted to hear and it was great!!! It could not have been better and we wouldn't change a thing.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

We'll see you Sunday,

This may (finally) be my last email for a while!!! Thank you so much for making it such a great party. EVERYONE who called has mentioned the food AND the band!! I truly appreciate all of your support from day one when I called you with the idea, right through the "mix up" with the venues, to Saturday night. Look forward to seeing you soon.

Arielle - Surprise birthday party at Wax Lounge, Montreal, October 30,
2004

Hi Denis,

Now that we are back from our honeymoon and things have settled down, we want to say thank you so much for making our wedding night so memorable. We received so many compliments on the music.......you guys did an awesome job! The dance floor was always packed, and we owe so much of that to you. Coming down onto the dance floor was a great way to get the crowd going, we all loved it. The Fundamentals helped make our wedding a great success.

Thank you all so very much.

Joanna and Morrie , wedding at Beth Zion, October 10, 2004

Hi Denis,

I just wanted to say thank you for everything last night! The Fundamentals are truly the best, and we couldn't have been happier to have you play at our wedding. Everything from the first dance and the unplugged etc.... was unbelievable. The DJ was fantastic too! A perfect mix of both. Thank you very much again,

Jana & Lee, wedding at The Ritz-Carlton Hotel, Oval room, October 9^th, 2004

Hi Denis,

We should thank YOU so much for making it the greatest party! We've had so many compliments on what a fabulous band we had - and we will absolutely spread the word to all who ask that The Fundamentals are the best band in Montreal! I understand you will be releasing an album of your own - please let us know when/where we can buy a copy.

All the best,

Joey & Cliff, wedding at The Ritz Carlton, Oval room, September 4^th, 2004

I have so much to say to you Denis. First of all, your band - the harmonies you have put together are FANTASTIC. Being a music fan, I spend my time at weddings analyzing the bands and quite frankly, they are most are the same. Yours is not! You personally have this sick voice that can hit Michael Jackson highs, Don MacLean folk sound, make Brown Eyed Girl not sound like an overplayed song, and your keyboard playing (which almost goes unnoticed next to your voice) is great too. Your drums and bass are in great sync, and your lead guitarist is mind boggling. That Johnny B Goode riff is fantastic and his duet with the sax player was great. Second of all - you were so helpful the past few weeks with replying to emails and letting me test out your equipment.

I will make sure to pass on your website and email address to anyone looking for a great band.

Thanks again for a great party. Everyone was talking about The Fundamentals last night.

Dan Fenster, brother of the bride, September 4^th, 2004

Hi Denis,

We're back and still floating! Thanks so much for a wonderful evening! There is nothing we would change from the whole day - it was everything we'd hoped for and more!

Be well - and we hope to see you soon!

Adrienne & Efrem, wedding at Shaar Hashomayim, August 30^th, 2004

Denis,

The pleasure was all ours. Your band’s availability was a key determinant in deciding on our wedding day and your performance on Sunday night reminded me why. I also want to thank you for heeding Brandon’s request to sing with the band; it was truly a highlight of the evening. I have always known how exceptional he is and I was so happy that he had the opportunity to showcase his talent.

See you at the next wedding!

Leah

Leah & Brandon, wedding at The Inter-Continental Hotel, August 29^th, 2004

Hi Denis,

I am writing you to you from our honeymoon. I wanted you to know that the music at our wedding was fantastic! You guys were amazing and I can't believe that song that you worked on with Allyson. It really blew me away. Thanks for making our night so memorable and thanks for all of your extra effort. We truly appreciate it!

Tara and Rob, wedding at Chateau Vaudreuil, August 15^th, 2004

Hello Denis,

Thank you so much, you guys were absolutely fantastic. Beyond our wildest expectations. We've been getting calls all weekend about how great the music was! You definitely made the evening run smoothly and - here's a feat – made everyone forget about the torrential downpour. Hope you had fun and didn't get too wet!

Many, many thanks,

Tamara and Brad, Outdoor wedding in a tent, Knowlton, August 7^th, 2004

Hi Denis!

Thank you so much for your comments. I want to thank you and the rest of the band for doing such an amazing job at our wedding. The music was exceptional and it really made the wedding great. Jay and I truly had a blast. You guys are truly the best band I have ever heard at any wedding. You have no idea how many people asked me where I found you and commented on how good you were. I would recommend to anyone having a wedding to use you guys as their band (and I'm sure they will).

Thanks again

Andrea & Jay, wedding at Temple Emanu-El-Beth Sholom, August 1^st, 2004

To The Best Wedding Band in Montreal,

Words cannot express how fantastic 'The Fundamentals' were at our wedding.

The band was the most important component of our wedding planning and 'The

Fundamentals' delivered!

It was a spectacular spring day in Montreal and we couldn't have been happier. Not only was it a perfect day, but we felt incredible energy from our friends and family who were so excited to be celebrating our marriage. "How deep is your love" was our first dance and "The Fundamentals" really captured the sound of the "Bee Gees". They learned the song perfectly. In addition, my matron of honor and I have a long history of singing together, and the band embraced our lack of talent and played along :) One highlight late in the evening was when the guitarist made the bride look like she could play the guitar like Jimmy Hendrix. Everyone had a blast and danced the night away! We will always remember 'The Fundamentals' and we thank you all for helping us make our wedding a day the most memorable day of our lives.

Warm regards,

Allison & Jason, wedding at The Ritz Carlton, Oval room May 30^th, 2004

Dear Denis and the wonderful Fundamentals,

I don't think there are adequate words to describe how absolutely fabulous our wedding was and what a blast everyone had. The evening went beyond my wildest expectations and we are forever grateful to all of you. Thirteen months ago, you met with my father to discuss my upcoming wedding. Your charm, sincerity, advice, professionalism (good looks too!!) immediately put him at ease. He was instrumental in the wedding plans and you were always available for questions, advice, guidance and MANY laughs along the way.

Throughout the wedding, your amazing voice and great songs kept the crowd on their feet anxiously awaiting the next song. When you sang "Sweet Caroline" and dedicated it to me and my dad, it took on a life of it's own and made my dad feel like the very special man that he is!!!

I only wish that you could make every bride, groom and their families half as happy as we were on Sunday!!

You made our night complete and one that we will cherish forever. Thank-you, thank-you, thank-you for the best night of our lives!!! We wish you the very best in all your endeavors. We look forward to seeing you soon at many upcoming events. Please send my very best regards and deepest appreciation to all the members of "The Fundamentals" who are truly fundamentally divine!!!!

With all our very best,

Caroline & Brad- wedding at the Fairmont Queen Elizabeth, May 23, 2004

Denis,

Thanks to the Fundamentals for helping to make my daughter Caroline’s wedding such a special night. “THE BAND WAS GREAT”. The evening flowed beautifully. The Sweet Caroline solo dance for me and my daughter brought tears to many. Brad’s parents loved the Mezinka. There were so many compliments throughout the evening, but each one started with, “the band is great”. The party got stronger as the evening progressed, and at 1:30 A.M., there were so many still there who did not want you to stop. Please don’t forget that I have another daughter. My best regards to Serge and the rest of the band.

All the best,

Frank D.

(father of the bride)

We (i.e. EVERYONE!) are absolutely thrilled with the way everything turned out. For us, the wedding was things dreams are made of. It could not have been more perfect. Thank you for contributing so greatly to the evening's success (people raved about you guys - no surprise!). I would love to keep in touch and I sincerely hope you will drop in on us in Waterloo - we would love to have you.

Thanks again. xo, Joelle

Hi Denis,

I never got a chance to let you know how much Darryl and I appreciated you and the rest of the Fundamentals at our wedding. Although the night is a complete blur to me, we received so many compliments on the music - from the snootiest of our guests to the coolest of our friends!

Thank you for putting on a great show and for a great party.

Sincerely,

Caralee & Darryl,

Denis,

I just wanted to tell you what a great time Steve and I had at our wedding. You guys were awesome - everybody thought so!! You had people up dancing the whole time - which makes for a good party....

Thanks so much for everything....

All the best!

Deborah & Steven - wedding November 9, 2003, Chateau Laurier, Ottawa

Denis,

We were thrilled with the evening. You guys were terrific! I’m just sorry it’s over. I can’t thank you enough for everything and you can be sure that if you’re at Elm Ridge this summer Mark and I will be the first ones there.

Harriet & Mark Krakower - Sandra's Bat Mitzvah, November 8, 2003 - Shaar Hashomayim, Montreal

Salut Denis,

Tout va très bien. Nous avons fait un excellent voyage. Nous avons bien mangé et bu et visité des endroits superbes. Ce qui a magnifiquement mis un terme à notre projet "mariage"...

Pour ce qui est de la soirée de notre mariage en tant que telle, je crois que je te l'ai dit déjà plusieurs fois, mais c'était vraiment FAN-TAS-TI-QUE. Vous avez grandement dépassé nos attentes. Tout le monde a eu un plaisir fou. Vous avez vraiment réussi à créer une ambiance de fête et tout le monde a embarqué. C'est incroyable à quel point tout le monde a été complètement renversé par votre performance. Tout nos amis nous en parle...

Tous les petits extras (ma chanson, mon solo de guitare - vraiment très drôle et aussi quand tu nous a fait chanter les chœurs) ont personnalisé la soirée et ajouter du piquant. Ton groupe et toi êtes vraiment extraordinaire. Transmet mes plus sincères remerciements à tous pour leur participation. Nous avons vraiment apprécié!

Sincèrement, merci.

Kathleen & Luc, mariage a l'auberge du Mont-Gabriel, le 11 Octobre, 2003.

Denis,

Beyond my wildest dreams, I never thought it was going to be so great. It was truly an unforgettable evening and you were such a huge part of it. Everything worked out, everyone raved about you and it was such a great time! And were we right about the room set-up or what? Did we finally break the curse of the Sarah Bernhardt room?

Thank you THANK YOU for everything!

Mary-Jeanne & Glenn, wedding at the Inter-Continental hotel, October 4, 2003

Hi Denis,

How is everything? Sorry, I didn't get a chance to write to you sooner but we just got back from the honeymoon yesterday. We had an amazing time in Maui but we are both glad to be back now. Even if it is cold.

I just wanted to thank you so much. The wedding was perfect from every aspect but all I keep hearing is how incredible the band is and how perfectly you guys mixed it up. I know you don't understand the depth of these comments because it is very hard to know how hard my family is to please. You guys did such a fantastic job and both Oisin and I were delighted with the whole night.

I hope you guys enjoyed the night also and that you got to have some fun too.

By the way they also loved Pat and Jon they thought all of you were just really great!!

You can expect a few phone calls once my family starts planning other events. They've already called my mom asking about the name of the band and the phone number.

One of my bridesmaids even wants to bring you guys to Ontario for her wedding next year!!

Thanks again sooo much,

Sabrina & Oisin, wedding at the Four Points Sheraton, Montreal, September 13, 2003.

Hi Denis,

We just got back from our honeymoon, which was excellent, and I just wanted to thank you so much for an amazing night. We had so much fun, and you guys were really unbelievable. We got so many compliments about you!

Thank you again for making the night so special, looking forward to hearing and seeing you again soon!

Amanda & Jonathan, wedding at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel, August 10, 2003

Denis,

We had a terrible time, couldn't you tell? :)

You guys were as amazing as we knew you'd be, and then some... It really was an incredible evening and I think if it weren't for people's sore feet by the end of the night, they could have kept dancing for a few more hours! I hope that you will pass on the message to the band that they were all terrific. Great energy - and talent!!

Thanks also for organizing everything with the hotel, klezmer band and DJ. It was all seamless.

See you soon!

Micol and Charles - wedding at the Omni Hotel, Montreal, June 23, 2003

Hi Denis,

I have no words to describe how fantastic-super-amazing-fabulous... you guys were on Sunday night! I have not stopped hearing from everyone that you guys made the event.... and I agree! You went beyond any expectations and blew us all away! The opening dance was magical. I felt like angels were singing to me.

We were so happy with your recommendation for the speeches... It perfected the flow of the night! All I can say is thank goodness we had you! I can't imagine anyone in the room would ever plan an event in the future without you guys.

And... You made my dad feel so special, I was so proud to see him starting the hora like that. It was a great idea!

And, I can't stop thanking you! Thank you, Thank you! As you know planning a big event is stressful, you worry about a million little things that can go wrong. Well as far as I am concerned with you around... nothing can go wrong! You are THE best!!!!

I would love a copy of your original material! I want to send it to some friends in the entertainment business, it is a crime that the whole world doesn't get to hear your voice!

My boss (and good friend) just said "I wanna get married again... Just so I can have the Fundamentals there..." I am not kidding!

Anyway, keep in touch, I would love to help you guys if you ever need any free marketing or PR advice.

XOXOX

Lori Z

Keep in touch. Love you!

Hello Denis:

I hope that you enjoyed your evening, here at the AGO, on Saturday, November 23rd and that you found set-up easy and your dinner delicious!

The AGO team thought that your band was incredible! Definitely one of the finest that they have heard, and as you can imagine, the AGO has been filled with the music of many bands.

I wanted to thank you, once again, for all of your e-mails and questions and for being so well organized and professional. It was a pleasure working with you and I hope that you and your band will be back again soon.

Best Regards,

Pat Cipriani - Director - Art Gallery of Ontario, Toronto - U of T 10 year Medical school reunion, November 23, 2002

Thanks Denis. Just got back from our honeymoon. It's hard to go back to work. You guys really we great. You guys completely rocked the reception. The Fundamentals feedback I've gotten is really wonderful. As I told you at the end of the night, I hope to catch you guys doing a gig this summer.

Thank the band for me and have a happy new year.

Steve

Steve Smith & Tanya Hatton, New Year's Eve wedding, December 31st, 2001

The Fundamentals,

Thanks for the great show last Saturday, we could not out do the location we had last year (we rented the chalet and the gondola at to the top of Tremblant) still I received great comments on the Saturday event and most are due to your great show. Thanks for letting our own "drummer" join you for a couple of songs. I was worried that you would play too many "oldies" and not adapt to our young and culturally mixed group. Your selections were just right and everyone joined in and enjoyed the evening.

Many thanks,
Richard Seguin

Hi Denis,

I just got back from our honeymoon, so I only just got your email.

I want to thank you for making our wedding so great. Our guests had such a great time at our wedding, and they did not stop raving about the Fundamentals. Chelsea and I also want to thank you for learning the song for our first dance, you and your band did an incredible job performing it. The Fundamentals really made the night a huge hit, and an unforgettable night for Chelsea and I. Thank you again.

If you ever need a reference, don't ever hesitate to call me.

Je te dit a bientot car c`est certain qu`on va se recroiser.

Sylvain.
