Hi Denis - just to echo my husband's (still weird to say) thoughts, thank you so much for Saturday. The Fundamentals kept the dance floor alive...even after 12 hours in my heels I couldn't keep myself from dancing. The party wouldn't have been the same without you. Truly fantastic!

Thank you again!!

Denis,

It was amazing, it really was a fairy tale princess wedding....everyone simply thought the band was amazing, we were so surprised by Ted’s guitar skills and the words to the song - thank you for letting him do that.

We all had such a good time – the music was perfect – good job. (I think the Sax man may not have buttons left on his shirt??)  He probably enjoyed every minute....

Believe it or not approx. 50 people showed up at the house yesterday starting around noon – till whatever time their plane took off to Australia, the UK, and California... It has been quite the week - but so worth it....

For sure our paths will cross again....I know you played at Royal Montreal not too long ago....I know for sure they will have you back

Many thanks for everything Denis

Cheers

Hi Denis
 
Everything was AMAZING last night.  I got so many comments about how good you guys were, and everything with “Hey Ya” and with the song from my cousins made the night so special.  Also, your rendition of “Angel” was beautiful.
 
So again, thank you so much.

Hi Denis,

On behalf of Elaine and myself and of course our entire family (especially Melissa and Cory) I want to thank you for the outstanding job and service your band provided for us at the wedding.

Your choice of music, the timing of your playlist, and the warmth and fun you guys reflected back to the audience contributed immensely to the success of our party.

Your skills and your enjoyment enhanced the wedding celebrations and everybody commented on how much fun they had (witnessed by the late departures of our guests).
Nobody saw the time go by but everybody certainly was talking about the fun they had.

Thanks again for your help in making our wedding bash one of the best of the season.
(The wedding critics have spoken)

Be well.

Hi Denis,

You guys really helped make the evening very special. We’ve gotten tons of phone calls letting us know that our guests thoroughly enjoyed themselves. I will speak to Harvey Engelberg in the next day or 2 and get back to you before the weekend with settlement details. I hope that’s OK.

Thanks again for making our party rock!

Bonjour Denis

The day could not have gone any better; we had such a great time. The Fundamentals were spot on and we can’t count the number of positive comments and compliments we received on your performance. We wished the evening wouldn’t have to come to an end.

You are awesome and such a pleasure to work with.

We can’t thank you enough for being part of our day; you were the icing on the cake!

Let me know if there’s anything else you need or if you have any questions or concerns

Hi Denis,

Thank you so much for the kind wishes.

Erin and I had a wonderful time at the wedding and that was largely to due to you guys. You were amazing and the music sounded great. Almost everyone we have spoken since the wedding said the music was fantastic. Seemed to be the most common compliment of the evening.

Glad you guys enjoyed yourself and I hope to see you again real soon…

Thanks,

Hi Denis,

Thanks for everything on Saturday.  The music was awesome, the Fundamentals are tight!

Robson Gmoser

Thank you so much Denis.  We really enjoyed hearing the music you all play.  I was only disappointed that there were so few of us left at the end to dance and keep the party going thus cutting your play time short.  Oh well, next time I am in Montreal, I will have to come out and hear the band play.

All the best,

Olivia

Dear Denis,

Hope this email finds you well.

Mike and I got back from our honeymoon a couple of days ago and have not stopped marveling over our AMAZING wedding ... Thanks to you and the rest of the band! We were thrilled with the Fundamentals ... song selection, energy etc ... it was SO MUCH FUN!

We got rave reviews about you guys from friends and family.  Thanks for helping to make our special night as fun-filled as it was.

Denis,

We cannot thank you enough. The venue, food and weather were great but the music was superb. Our guests continue to rave about you and your band. I think you knew that based on the fact only a few were sitting at their table at any one time.

If you ever need a reference for a prospective customer, contact Jean and myself.

Many, many thanks for a great wedding.

What would a Vineberg celebration be without the Fundamentals!  You guys were awesome, yet again, and we could not have been happier in our dealings with you.  If you ever need a reference, do not hesitate to give us a shout.

Our paths will cross for sure in the future, even about 10 days from now at the Schreter/Goldsmith wedding!

Take care of yourself and I wish you only the very best of everything going forward!

You guys were amazing and truly made the party. My one and only regret for the evening is that we didn't ask you for another set before heading over to Méchant Boeuf.... DJ was not nearly as good. Everyone had a great time though; we'll see you soon I’m sure!

Hi Denis -

I meant to reply to you earlier and got completely side-tracked. It took 2 months to come down from all that wedding planning - and now I am almost bored with nothing to plan!

We have some photos from the wedding of you and the band, which I will pass on to you as soon as I can remember to - hopefully this weekend.
I am sure my mum wanted to write a testimonial for your website, I am not sure if she has? Well, I will if she hasn't - i can't tell you what a great time we had. You and your amazing band made our celebration rocket from wonderful to out-of-this-world. I am so glad you were recommended to me, I don't think it would have been as special without you guys. You were an integral part of the whole event and made everything just perfect.
I am still so touched that you learned those bars of Johnny Cash and Beach Boys and got them into our ceremony... makes me smile just to remember it! 

Hope to see you again one of these days, if/when we move back to Montreal. Carin Schwartz says you often play locally in NDG, and I would definitely like to see that sometime! 

Take care and all the very best wishes for a good new year

Hey Denis,

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.

Thanks again!

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!

You guys were great. Thanks for everything.

Take care,

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. 

Thanks again

Dear Denis,

"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. 

Thank you again for helping to make our party such a great success.

Warm regards,

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."

HI Denis...

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.

You must be doing something right!

Thanks again.

You guys were fantastic (as always). We received so many compliments from the guests!

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

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

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!

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,

We will tell you in more detail how GREAT we thought your music was once we return, but for now, thank you so much for being such an important part of our perfect night! It was truly beyond our dreams!

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!

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!

On behalf of the Social Committee,

Dear Denis, Stephen and I, as well as our parents would like to thank you and the rest of the band for the outstanding job you did on Saturday night. We had the best night of our lives, and our guests keep raving about the music. We were thrilled with the play list you chose, and we loved the music during the meal. You made our party one that we will never forget. 

 

Thanks again,

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,

Rochelle Ornstein and James Moncarz Wedding at Shaare Zedek, October 30, 2005


 

Hi Denis,

You guys were terrific as usual! We had many people who told us how impressed they were with your performance.

I look forward to working with you again at any future events!

Very best regards,

Dear Denis,

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 want to thank you for helping us make a very special occasion even more so.

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.

All the best,

Hi Denis,

 

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??????

Hi Denis,

We were meaning to call you, but unfortunately we have not yet. We had an absolute blast (THE TIME OF OUR LIVES) at our wedding. We have been getting nothing but compliments about what a great time it was, and we thank you sincerely as your contribution was awesome.

Mark P.S. We should write music together!!! LOL


 

Denis,

Thanks so much for thinking of us, great to hear from you. You guys did an outstanding job!!! We had a fabulous time at our own wedding and we received an unbelievable amount of calls saying what a great party; we couldn't have done it without you..

Take care and thank you soooooo very much

Hi Denis,

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.

Hi Denis,

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.

Hi Denis

We are writing you from the Amalfi coast in Italy and having a wonderful honeymoon. We cant thank you enough for doing such an amazing
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!

Love, Heidi and Paul

Denis,

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.

Denis,
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...

Hi Denis

I'm sitting here with Rena and we want to dance with you on Sunday night!!!

I want to thank YOU (you shouldn't be thanking me) for an AMAZING night. You guys were awesome, and we had the best time. When some of the guys came onto the dance floor...I have no words. 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,
Susan, Michael, Rena, Allan, Lois and Bernie
