"What an amazing night!! Thanks so much for BEING a part of our wedding. Our guests had a fabulous time and paid many compliments to the band. We got just what we wanted...a fully loaded dance floor. There was no time for rest when the band was playing such awesome fun hits.
Thanks again!!"

Happy Holidays and Happy New Year!"

"Howard, You guys did an amazing job at the wedding!  We were getting compliments about the music all night (and the next day!).  We were really happy to see everyone dancing and enjoying themselves all night.  We also appreciate that you played past the agreed upon time - I guess everyone just wanted to keep partying. We will certainly recommend you to any of our family or friends who have upcoming events.  Where can we leave reviews or recommendations (all positive) for the band?
Please thank the band for me.  Thanks again!"
-Brian and Danielle Gaspar, West Chester, PA (11/10)

"Hi Howard, I just wanted to take a moment to thank you so much for last night! I've heard so many compliments on your performance. Everyone was thrilled. I will definitely be sure to recommend you to anyone I know who needs a band. Absolutely terrific performance; thank you!"

"Finding the perfect band for our wedding was very important to my husband and I. Brandon, being a musician, wanted a certain sound. It was important to both of us to not only find a great sounding band, but we really wanted a band who was young and energetic to compliment who we are. When we first heard the Main Line Affair, we knew we had found the right band for our big day. During the planning process, MLA was super responsive and helpful in helping us choose our music. My only stipulation was that no 70's music be played, with which they gratefully complied. During the wedding, they had everyone on their feet. The music was exactly what we wanted and everyone complimented us on such a great band. Towards the end of the night- I received a little surprise when Brandon got up with the band to play my favorite song- Just Like Heaven. This wasn't a sappy version- this performance rocked. They had everyone on the dance floor. Come to find out, Howard was gracious enough to meet with Brandon prior to the wedding to practice the song. It was such and amazing surprise and we're so fortunate MLA was able to do it with ease. We highly recommend Main Line Affair for any big event. If you want people dancing- MLA is the way to go. Thank you guys for making our night so special and keeping everyone on the dance floor. We couldn't have asked for any more!"
-Elizabeth, New Hope, PA (10/10)

"Hi Howard, I wanted to write and say thank you for everything on Saturday. The event went off without a hitch and you guys were a large part of that. You kept the evening entertaining and several people came to me very impressed with the band. I passed your name along, so hopefully it'll create some leads for you. Also, thanks again for accommodating the request to play "Just like Heaven". I know you probably don't get those requests very often, but it went as smooth as I could have hoped, so thanks again.Elizabeth and I both very much enjoyed having you guys and would be first to recommend you in the future. Thank you and hope to see you soon"
-Brandon, New Hope, PA (10/10)

"Hi Howard, We should be the ones to thank you. You and your band did a great job and you definitely delivered! Nothing beats a rocking live band. Jeanie has many friends who will get married in the coming years, and we will definitely recommend you! Thanks a lot."
-Minh Trinh, New York, NY (10/10)

"I couldn't say enough good things about MLA at our wedding. Christine and I felt confident that you would perform well at the wedding, but you blew our expectations away. The first dance song and the accompanying surprise was pulled off perfectly, and without any real rehersal with Sebastian. You guys kept the dance floor rocking all night. We heard more compliments about you guys than we did about the wedding. Everybody loved the mix of music that you guys played, and it was awesome to look around and see the dance floor crowded all night long. Outside of the really long speeches (sorry about that!), you guys were killing it forever, and with no breaks. Even a few people who had some trepidations with a band playing were really happy with how it turned out. I hope that you guys had fun performing, I know some of my friends pulled the female lead singer off onto the dance floor, and we got the other guy off and letting us sing some of "I like the way you move" with him. It was an absolute blast. I've probably said that like six times already, but truthfully, you were a really big part of why everybody had such an awesome time. We got a lot of comments from friends and family about how that was the best wedding they've been to, and that gets credited to you guys. If you guys ever need a reccomendation, feel free to have them contact us because I will rant and rave about you guys. Enjoy the pictures and thanks again! It was f*ing awesome."
-Seth and Christine Kampf, Blue Bell, PA (09/10)

"Thought I'd drop you guys an e-mail after seeing you this past week and write a testimonial. I'm both a bass player and a guitarist and have been for some time! We went up to Blue Bell, PA this weekend for a wedding. During the seating and cocktail hour, there was a guitarist sitting on a stool accompanied by a sax player doing all sorts of nice quiet jazzy styles of classic rock songs, Led Zep, the swan song, Styx Sail away etc... It caught my ear, I knew this guitar player could rock. Once the reception started, a band came out, 8 people on stage, I forget what the very first song was but it was sort of mellow and nice and they were introducing the bridal party, but when the bride and groom came in, the band went right from the mellow tune to The Scorpions - Rock You Like a Hurricane! (customized for bride and groom) The whole place went nuts! The band was rocking, sizzling/scorching guitar solos! It was crazy! While they were playing this, Sebastian, The Miami Hurricanes' mascot came out dancing with everyone. The groom graduated from Miami University! Throughout the night, the band played a lot of songs that I think VERY FEW bands would be able to pull off. They played everything from Frank Sinatra to Guns and Roses. They have a heavy influence on the 80's. They played a kick ass version of Dexy's midnight runners come on Eileen complete with trumpets and keys that would turn anyone's head and the vocals were killer! One of the most versatile bands I've ever seen live. Towards the end of the night, their last set was one straight medley of maybe 20 or so songs that were perfectly patch-worked together. My ears did not catch a single screw-up. They were completely amazing! We got their business card and all their booking info. I think for my 40th B-Day party (three years away) Allyson will have them play my party!

you played one more song at the end of the night. Thanks again."

"Main Line Affair did a fantastic job at our wedding! Everyone was excited to see a live band play so many different genres of music. All of our requests were honored and done well, especially Van Halen's 'Hot for Teacher!' Howard was very helpful during the whole planning process. He was always quick to
respond to my emails and calls. I will recommend Main Line Affair to
anyone looking for excellent entertainment."
-Lauren Wheeler, Hammonton, NJ (08/10)

"Main Line Affair was perfect from the beginning to the end. They were so accommodating and were able to work within our budget. They were very organized and flexible with our needs and wants.

I would highly recommend them to anyone who wants an unforgetable, flawless and fun event!"
-Lauren and Josh Rood, Elkins Park, PA (07/10)

-Michael and Stephanie Karpe, Mt. Bethel, PA (07/10)

"Main Line Affair had a great performance at our 4th of July event.  The band really went above and beyond to exceed our expectations.  We were really impressed with how fluidly you guys moved through so many styles.  Sinatra, Gaga, oldies and hardrock-everything we asked for!  We're still getting compliments! It was a great time!"
- William Misita, Massapequa, NY  (07/10)

"Things were great! We have gotten many compliments regarding your band and the whole wedding! I think we are all pleased with how things went. I loved how you and the band fit everything into the night, you lived up to every hope we had and surpassed it! I appreciate your attention to detail! You really did a great job making all our requests fit into that one night! We had a great day and AJ, the music fanatic, was really really happy and 'wowed' not just by your Bruce Springstein, but also the Mighty Mighty Bosstones and Bob Marley! Amazing! Thank You for everything! If you ever need a 'client recommendation' I am here! AJ and I thank you and the band for all your hard work and efforts, you helped make our wedding day amazing! Thank You again."

I will certainly pass your name along to other friends."

"Main Line Affair was amazing and made my party so special. From the very beginning Howard took interest in my party and the theme, and made sure they did everything to enhance my party. The quality of the talent and the diversity in the program was outstanding. I would highly recommend them to anyone in the tri-state area. The comments back from all my friends was that they "made the party"!!! Thanks to everyone in Main Line Affair."
- Anthony Candella, New York, NY (05/10)

"I had Main Line Affair handle the music for my wedding on November 1, 2009. I am so glad I did, and now I can’t imagine my day having been as special if I hadn’t done so. Howard was very accessible throughout the months of planning and I really appreciate that he brought good suggestions to the table, and how they did not conflict with the things I really wanted. I had them handle the whole day. The cellist at my ceremony was terrific, as were the jazz musicians for my cocktail hour. I requested unique processional music and the group learned it on very short notice. Their performance at the reception was so much fun and people couldn’t stop dancing. It seemed like they knew the perfect touch for every moment. Our day was perfect and Main Line Affair was an irreplaceable part of it!"

"When the lasting comments about your wedding are how great the food was and how amazing the band was- you know you've done something more than right! We thoroughly enjoyed our experience with MLA! From the beginning Howard was on top of his stuff- a real relief for a bride when there are so many details to handle! The variety of music was fantastic, the quality of the musicians and singers was top notch!! We would highly recommend - no higher than highly recommend MLA! They simply ROCKED - from start to finish they were Holla-licious!"
- Deborah Green Stein, New York, NY/Beltsville, MD (10/09)

"We contracted Main Line Affair for our daughter's wedding after seeing six different bands.  We certainly made the right choice.  They were incredible from the start.  From the sax and guitar during the cocktail hour, easy music during dinner and then great dance music, it was great.  All of our friends commented that MLA was the best wedding band they have seen.  Our thanks to Howard and MLA for a wonderful evening!"
- Mike and Jan Slough, Kennet Square, PA (10/09)

"We really wanted to thank you and the band for everything you did for the wedding. Thank you so much for all of your help along the way with the selections, and thank you for an amazing job at the reception. You did such a great job giving us what we wanted on our day. I had no idea a wedding band could customize that much and to hear some of our favorite bands being played live was really cool. I caught the Sarah McLachlan and the U2 and the Coldplay and it sounded so great! It really made it unique to hear some of our special requests and we really appreciated you being able to do such a good job with our special dances. Everyone we talked to (including some of our friends and family who normally don’t say much) made a point to come up to us and say how much they enjoyed the music. And they must have, because I don’t think I’ve seen some of them dance that much before! Thanks again!"
- Andrew Gray, Honolulu, HI (10/09)

"Main Line Affair provided unbelievable energy at our wedding reception and were great to work with throughout the entire process. We received more compliments from our guests on their performance than we could count. We didn’t think we were going to be able to afford live music on our budget, but we were shocked to find MLA at such an affordable rate, and even more pleased with their performance. Funk, pop, blues, rock, classic party tunes, even songs we specially requested – MLA played them all, kept it going all night long and had everyone on their feet the whole time. If I ever have need of a band again, MLA is definitely going to be my first call.
