Hi Dan

Dan and I just got back from our honeymoon and I just wanted to take a minute to let you know what an awesome time we (and all the guests) had at the wedding, largely in part to the energy you (and the band) projected. The dance floor was packed the entire night… every song was great… in short, you guys were absolutely fantastic! All five of you are very, very talented musicians and nearly every guest at the wedding, both young and old, told me that they thought the band was the best they ever heard at a wedding. Everything, from the first dance, father/daughter dance to the Hora was amazing! Thank you for including all of my special requests. I am glad I left the rest of the song list up to you because I couldn’t have chosen a better set myself! For sure, I can guarantee that Dan and I (and some of our friends when we drag them out to Annapolis) will be coming out occasionally to see you play.

Again, thank you for making our wedding a night to remember. If you wouldn’t mind passing this along to the rest of the band, I’d greatly appreciate it.

Fondly,

Andrea (& Dan)

Dear Dan,

Thank you so much for making our reception such a memorable event! We completely enjoyed dancing, and we keep hearing compliments from all of our guests on "our" band! We appreciated that you learned our song - it was perfect. We will remember that dance forever. We truly enjoyed your band and hope to see you at Middletons again sometime.

Sincerely,

Katie & Graham

Hey Dan,

Just wanted to drop you line now that things have finally settled down and thank you for putting on a great performance at our wedding 6/23 at Chartwell. You guys rocked! We got so many fantastic comments from the guests and will be sure to recommend you to anyone looking for great live music in the future. You and the band really helped make our day special and memorable. Hope to catch you soon in Annapolis!

Thanks again,
Rob and Beth

Dan,

Just wanted to tell you thanks again for playing at our wedding. Jen and I couldn't have asked for a better day and the great music topped it off. We had a lot of compliments from our guests as well. Thanks again and we look forward to catching your shows when we are in town,

Hi Dan,

Martin and I wanted to tell you how much fun we had at our wedding.  You and the band were awesome!  Our guests STILL talk about how great our band was, and we are so thrilled.  You were the best decision we made during the entire wedding planning process. Thanks for making it so easy and taking the stress off of a very hectic day.
 
We'll see you in town!
 
Best Regards,
 
Katye and Martin

Dan,

Thank you so, so, so much for helping create a memorable wedding day for us!  The band was amazing and really set the tone for a great party.  It was one of the best days of my life, and we were so glad you were there with us!  We hope you guys had fun too!  I know the photographer got some great pics of you in action, so I'll send the web address along when we get our pictures back.  Everything was perfect...the first dance song sounded better than Howie Day!!  Everything down to the littlest detail was great and so many people have raved about you guys.  So, thanks so much again.  I'll be in touch soon.

Keri and Angus

Just wanted to express once more how wonderful it was working with you and how great we all thought your band was. It was truly magnificent - Gina and Patrick were still raving about it this morning.

Thanks ever so much,

Hi Dan!

You played at my husband and my wedding on August 12. The music was amazing and I just wanted to thank you so much.  Everyone keeps telling us how awesome the music was.  Anyway, thanks for making our wedding a really amazing occasion, because the music is really what makes the party.

Nicole and Peter

Dan,

I just wanted to thank you and your band so much for playing at our wedding. Ian and I were so suprised you learned our first dance song. It sounded amazing as did everything you played. We have gotten so many compliments about how great you all were. Thank you again. Hope to see you around Annapolis soon.

Didn't have your address to send a Thank You note...so email is the next best thing...I just want to express my sincere appreciation to you and your band for making Kim & Ian's wedding on the 19th a memorable event!  You and your band did an INCREDIBLE job - such talent!  Thanks again!!

Dan,

You rock!! We just got a video recording from our wedding (09/10/05) and you sounded awsome. We wanted to make a cd out of it so we could jam to our wedding songs in the car but someone kept grabbing the camera to talk into it. Oh well, we should have set up a recorder by you. My mom cries now everytime she hears simple man. Thanks again!!!!!

Kurt & Jessi O

Dear Dan (and the band),

I was gonna send a thank you card, but did not have your address, so an email is just as good. Thank you so much for performing at our wedding. You guys were awesome. I’m sure you could tell how much everyone enjoyed themselves- the dance floor was always packed. The songs you sang were perfect to get the party going. My pictures were hilarious because most of them were of people dancing and smiling. A good time was had by all. You helped to make our wedding perfect, and we are forever grateful. We hope to see you perform again soon.

Nicole and Steve

Hey Dan,

I've been meaning to send you an email to thank you for playing at our wedding-- we have gotten so many compliments about you guys, and we really couldn't have asked for anything more. It was exactly what we were hoping for. Your version of the Martina McBride song was fantastic (in fact I like it significantly better than the original).

We lent our roommate (who was one of the groomsmen) our copy of 11 Songs and Goodbye Moon, and I think we're going to have to fight him to get them back. We had planned to try to make it down to 49 West last night because he is itching to see you guys play, but Colleen and I are leaving tomorrow for our honeymoon (although

We may still try to make it down to Rams Head Live tonight). If not, we're definitely going to try to hit 49 West when we get back in two weeks.
Anyway, thanks again for everything--it really was perfect!

Thanks,
Chris

Dan and company...

So we're almost married a year now and we can't stop thinking about how you, Meg and the crew flat out MADE our wedding. You all absolutely set the tone and it was infectious; every person there LOVED the music-- from Matt and I, to the munchkins running around, to our more "mature" family members dancing away on newly replaced knees. It was certainly my first time at a wedding where the band had enough screaming fans to do an encore. And I guarantee most of them downloaded "Love Train" that week. I did.

You guys also put up with my crazy family with grace, my father's... uh, unforgettable speech (he's ready to go on the road with you all when you're ready), some Vanilla Ice wannabe (don't know who), and two "gifts of song" to us from the crowd. So have I said enough?

Although I doubt you'll need any additional bookings and must have to say no a lot, PLEASE don't hesitate to use us as references, b/c we just can't say enough about you guys. THANK YOU, and please pass along our thanks to the band for making it literally the most fun we've ever had at a wedding.

See you downtown,
Matt and Lacey

Hi Dan.

Sid and I wanted to thank you very much for playing at our wedding. The music was fantastic, and you have had rave reviews from so many people!! We are sorry that we did not get a chance to chat more with you at the end -- but I am sure you understand. We were thrilled with the entire evening and on such a high!! Thank you, thank you - for making our wedding so special. We will be coming to see you again in Annapolis!

Warmly -- Amy and Sid

Dan,
 
I cannot thank you enough. We, along with our guests, were blown away by your voice, guitar talent, range of music (you even played 60s stuff which made my father quite happy), and your presence with the children.
 
You were everything I had been hoping for and so much more. You made a very important and special evening that much more so.
 
If you want a testimonial for your website, let me know. I'm happy to do whatever I can to assist you.

Dan,

Nate and I cannot thank you and the band enough for an awesome evening! The music could not have been any better. You guys played exactly the type of music that we love to hear and everyone loved to dance to! Thanks again for everything, and putting up with all of my incessant questions! : ) Oh, and we love your CD, thanks for giving us a copy. Hopefully we will get a chance to hear you guys all play again sometime in the future (maybe next May, and Jenny and Dan's wedding!). Thanks for getting Nate and his brother up there. . .they loved it ( even though they needed a little encouragment!)

Take care and thanks again... the music was beautiful!
Jess

Thank you for the outstanding performance at our wedding reception yesterday. Diana and I had an awesome time and a ton of people commented on how great you guys sounded. You guys were definitely WORTH EVERY PENNY we paid...and you turned a good reception into a great one.

Thanks again,Ben & Diana

Mary and Brent's wedding was everything we hoped it would be.  Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful talent with us.  Your music was terrific and the result was a wonderful party and memories that will last a lifetime.

Dan,

Thanks for your note and most importantly for an outstanding performance at our wedding reception. So many of our guests came up to us during the reception to express how much they enjoyed "the band." You are truly talented and we felt honored to have you celebrate our day with us. Great job on the David Gray "Be Mine" song. You did it better then the original artist in our opinion. We look forward to seeing and hearing you play again soon!

Best regards,
Lindsey and Jody

Hi Dan,
 
I just wanted to thank you and your band for being fabulous!!  If anyone did not have a good time at Sarah's and Dave's wedding reception it was their own fault. 
It certainly was not because of the band.  We feel very lucky to have had you there.  We wanted the dance floor to be full all night long and it was. 
You had such a great selection of CD's that everyone kept dancing even when you went on break. We want to thank you for your "extra hours" of being the DJ way into the morning.  You were great!! The evening went by way too fast, but we have great memories.  Thank you again for being part of those memories!!

Sincerely,
Louise and Keith

THANK YOU Dan!

You guys were awesome. Everyone kept commenting on you all throughout the wedding. I've already emailed your web site to several friends. Thanks for everything!! We'll definitely come see you guys the next time you're at Witlows.

Thanks!!! Hope you guys have a great New Year.

See you soon!!!
Lucy

Dan,

Just wanted to say thanks for a great wedding reception on Saturday night. I really think you and your guys set the tone and the mood for a great wedding. My father was a bit skeptical about having a band going into the night, but had no remorse after seeing you play. People were telling him all night that it was the best wedding they've ever been to. So many people came up to me and asked who you were, where you were from etc. People were raving about how many people were on the dance floor for the duration of the night. They said they've never seen so many people on a dance floor at a wedding.

Thanks,
Dave

Dan,

Ok, I've been meaning to sit down and write everyone a note to thank you....but the days are just flying by.  So, I am sending this email to let you all know how deeply grateful I am for the amazing music at the wedding.  We have received so many comments from people about how good the "musicians" were.  The ceremony was so beautiful and Dan, you certainly kept everyone dancing at the reception.  People still keep telling us how much fun they had.  And to SHOW you our gratitude, we would love to have you over for dinner, at our house this time!   We have a new blender to break in... Let me know when a good weekend would be for everyone...
 
Warm regards,
 
Pam

Dan,

You guys were awesome. Everybody (and I mean every last soul) loved what you and the band added to our wedding reception. From dinner right through "Laid" the band was right on. Your band is unbelievably talented and tight, great voices and great energy. One of my best friends and his fiance had been thinking of booking you all and seeing you play at our wedding all but signed the deal. We look forward to seeing you there, at Andy and Jenn's wedding, Mike and Michelle's wedding, Armadillo's, and anywhere else we can listen to good music.

Thanks again for making our perfect day that much better.
Brad and Ann

Dan,

You guys really rocked the house for our wedding reception. People have been talking about little else for the past two weeks. No one can remember a reception with so much dancing. We heard from at least five women with husbands who "don't dance" who's husbands spent the whole night dancing. My 70-year-old great aunt, who had never danced once in her entire life, danced a song. You guys knew the exact tone to set for the whole reception.

Thanks again,
Gary

Dan,

You did such a wonderful job at our wedding, that I must sing your praises!!  Your acoustic sets were filled with clever original music and fun cover music. You're also a great D.J., playing all of our specialty songs from my CDs in the order we had picked out.  Mixing the live sets with CDs meant we were never without tunes.  You are skilled at reading the crowd and knowing how to focus his set to the group.  In the summer of 1998 you played at 4 weddings that I attended and EVERY one was a blast!

Brides, if you are getting married soon, you can't go wrong with Dan and his band in charge of the music!

Cheers-
Jen

Hi Dan,

Kevin and I and our parents would like to thank you for playing at our wedding. Everyone raved about the band and how much they enjoyed the music. I've been to so many weddings where they had a "cheezy" band play and I knew that was something that I just didn't want at my wedding. I wanted it to be perfect and you helped make the day a perfect one. You also pleased my dad, which was a task. The band was a big concern of his. He was afraid the music would be too loud or too "rock and roll" for the older guests, but he really enjoyed himself, as did everyone else.

I thank you for your help in making our wedding the perfect day.

Sincerely,
Jean & Kevin

Dan,

The Dan Haas Band is incredibly talented and perfect for any celebration. The band played at our wedding and was so fantastic that a couple guests hired them for future events. We did not have a set play list as we trusted their wedding playing expertise, but we knew the depth of music they could perform and their ability to entertain multiple audiences and age groups.

They did a wonderful job and I highly recommend them for any important function.

Karen

Hey Dan,

People are still talking (one year later) about how good your band was at our wedding, especially the relief drummer (heh heh). You can give my name out as a reference.

Gary

Dan,

Your presence there made Kelly's reception if you couldn't tell from the number of people that danced the entire night!  I'm sure she'll give you a great testimonial.
Looking forward to hearing you all at the April 26th 2003 nuptials as well!

Hope all is well with you and we'll try to get the gang out to see you in Annapolis sometime soon too.

Jen

I was not the bride, but I paid the bill.  I (and everyone else) was very pleased  --  and not surprised. 
Christy always wanted you to play at her wedding.

Hope things are going well - any update on the CD?

Dan,  

You guys did a great job at the party, and everyone loved the music.  I would not be surprised if you land a few more jobs out of it.  Thanks again for squeezing us into your schedule.  Hope you all had as much fun as we did!  I am still recovering from my ladder-dance injuries.

Take care,
Kristin
