Hi Justin,
Tidewater Drive was AMAZING! We've been to several weddings over the years, and I'd say they were among the very best when compared to other experiences we've had! Their energy and enthusiasm was contagious and we had quite the dance party! I'm already scheming some big party to have in the future so we can hire them again! Prior to the wedding, Lenny was easy to get in touch with and accommodating to our requests.
Thanks so much!
Allie

Hi Andrew,
Everything was great! Tidewater Drive was excellent! I would highly recommend them to everyone who is looking for an upbeat band with a great sound! Everyone raved about them all night long and asked for their name. They were so much fun and the song selection was great! In fact, a friend of ours is interested in booking them for their wedding next year. People are still talking about them! They were wonderful to work with leading up to the event as well as at the actual event. They were flexible, professional and accommodating - everything you would want and more!
Let me know if you have any other questions! Again, thank you for recommending them to us. We LOVED them!

Andrew,
We were very pleased with Tidewater Drive Band. Aside from the great quality sound and entertainment, they were very personable and accommodating. They even allowed my husband to sing a song with two of his groomsmen! It was great! We all honestly did not want the night to end. They were so much fun and their song selection was fantastic. I wish I had another event sometime soon so I could hear them again! Without a doubt, I would highly recommend them -such a perfect group!

Justin,
The band was terrific!! I really can’t say enough about them. They were engaged, easy to work with, played songs on our playlist, etc. They were a “big hit!!”
Thanks so much and I will definitely use them again and recommend them.

Andrew,
Everything was amazing with the band. They were great and a real talking point for people during and post wedding. From beginning to end they were awesome, they played the cocktail hour which we initially weren't sure if they were going to do that. They then were a part of a surprise my wife set up where they did a 2nd line for me to head into dinner (I went to school down in New Orleans, so right up my alley and very awesome) They learned our song for our first dance which they had never played before, and did a fantastic job with it. With all the buildup of those 3 things, they also exceeded expectations during the main performance as well. We weren't sure if people would be dancing much, but the band's electricity got people up and moving. As for the business side, they were there on time, very easy to coordinate with and easy to plan with. Honestly they were perfect.
Overall we couldn't have asked for a better band, and they gave us some awesome memories that will last forever. And thank you for your help in setting up. Let us know if there is anything else you need from us, and if anyone needs to hear a glowing review of Tidewater drive, send them our way, because they have 2 new huge fans. Thanks!

Andrew,
Meghan and Josh are on their honeymoon, but I would like to tell you that the band Tidewater Drive was fantastic!!!!!!! They were a huge hit at the reception. Lots of dancing by all at the reception. They were a great band to work with, very helpful and always got back to me in a timely fashion when I had a question or concern. I give this band an A plus, plus rating and would highly recommend this band for any function but especially for a wedding as they really knew how to get the people dancing with their excellent choice of song lists. The female vocalist was incredible and the horns electrified the crowd. There was not a negative comment to be made of this band, all positive and lots of fun and energy.
Thank you again!
Melanie Martyak

Andrew,
Thanks for checking in. Tidewater Drive, as expected, was wonderful. We truly enjoyed having them back. The music was great, but more than that, Scott and the band are so friendly and interactive with our group. I hope they had just as much fun as we did this year!
Thanks again,

Dropping another note of appreciation for thinking of Tidewater Drive Band for the Loan Care Party. It went very well and I believe the client will agree. We certainly hope we can continue our relationship and look forward to meeting you when we are in your neck of the woods.
Best Regards,
Scott Amone
The band was excellent at our wedding! You made it very personal and gave it that extra zing that I wanted for the reception. We've heard so many wonderful comments from our guests about how good the band was. Our guests were very pleased and kept asking, now who is the band? I will be recommending Tidewater Drive for any event I hear about. Thank you for making our special day even more outstanding!
Thanks again!!! :) Rebecca
We were so thrilled with the way you played for our wedding. It was a blast and having your band really made the party! We can't thank you enough. It was definitely one of the most memorable days for us!!!!! We are highly recommending you to anyone that needs a band :-)

On behalf of Charlie, Mason, and Chris, I write to let you know what an outstanding job Tidewater Drive did at our party. Every guest enjoyed their music, danced the night away, and left happy. As you know, music sets the tone for the evening and creates the ambiance.
Thank you again for helping us make our daughter's wedding reception perfect!
Sincerely,
Mella Goldman
On behalf of the Virginia Opera family, I would like to offer you my most sincere thanks for working with us on the 2011 Under the Big Top Opera Ball. Tidewater Drive was the perfect choice of entertainment for our event and a huge hit with our patrons. At the end of the night, no one wanted to leave the dance floor, which is certainly a mark of success in our books!
Warmest Regards,
Lisa Domingo Sands, Hampton Roads Director of Development
