Awesome, awesome job last Friday night.  It was fantastic.  I have not been able to listen to the CDs of our Council meeting on Monday, July 6^th but I understand there were some very positive comments made about the event.  As soon as I get a chance to listen, I’ll let you know. 

Your band is wonderful and I wish I could have sat still and watched the whole 2 hour performance.  What I was able to watch and hear was perfect.  Our police department estimated 3,500 in attendance between the park and the high school, where they said the music sounded as if it were being piped in.  I am going to try to send out a survey on our website to try to generate some comments.  I’ll let you know as soon as I can. 

Thanks again, and I hope ZuZu Peddals will be interested in coming back to Sachse next year!"

"Many, many compliments on the band. I've already given their info to two more brides. I would not hesitate to call again!"

"Then the band kept everyone up dancing (and singing) all night long. If you're looking for a live band, I would highly recommend ZuZu Peddals. They have to be the best band I've ever worked with!"

"Dear ZuZu Peddals,

"Wow!!  We cannot thank your band enough for the fabulous performance you did for our daughters wedding reception. I had guests coming up to us complimenting your band all night long. It was  a delight to have a  band that everyone loved. You guys sounded fantastic and your voices were amazing!!  It was very evident how everyone loved you from the huge number of guests crammed on the dance floor all night!!  Thanks so much  for the wonderful job you did. We were truly entertained by your songs  the entire reception.  You guys sound phenomenal together. I was so excited to have the saxophone player too. Well worth the extra money!

Your band will definitely come highly recommended by our family!!! You were top notch and we greatly appreciate your talents."

Sincerely,
John and Vicki Adams ~ May 3, 2008

"Every couple wants their wedding to be an awesome experience.  You only get to live it for that one evening, so you want everything to be perfect. We could have not asked for more from the ZuZu Peddals! I did not know what to expect because my beautiful fiance' had done all of the planning and I was not sure how the band would perform.  I was so amazed at their performance. I pour my heart and soul into my career and I can immediately see when someone else is pouring their heart and soul into their career. Being a race car driver in the nascar truck series is a dream come true for me. I eat, sleep and live racing.Kim and I agreed that the ZuZu Peddals eat, sleep and live entertaining. You can hear love and passion through their singing and performing. We not only received compliments on the ZuZu Peddals from family and friends but from the staff at Texas Motor Speedway as well.  

I Would hire them again for any other parties we may have in the future. For Kim & I and the 300 people who attended our special day, they made it one to never forget!  they were phenominal! "

ZuZu Peddals was very instrumental in making the night one that will be remembered forever. The amount of comments we have had regarding the band are too great to remember. Everyone that has commented on the night has commented on the band. Many remarked 'they're the best they've heard!' Brandi and the others kept all of the people having a great time. Brandi has a fabulous stage presence!"

The event was a big success thanks to ZuZu Peddals - their performance was sensational - a perfect fit for the event! Because of the generosity of you and so many others, we raised over $77,000 for Boys & Girls Clubs programs - the most raised in the event's four year history!"

"Brandi,

I just wanted to send you a quick, unofficial "thank you" to you and your band for the wonderful job you guys did for my wedding this past Saturday. I had tons of people come up to me and tell me how great they thought you all were, without me even asking! I think we had two major things working against us: the number of people and the time of day - so there weren't as many people up and dancing as I would have liked, but hey, everyone (including me and Robby) had a GREAT time, and that's what is important, right?? ;-)
I'm going to send an official thank you card to you and the band at Carol Marks Music to gush about how wonderful you all were, but I thought I would e-mail you personally and let you know that we were very pleased with your performance and your flexibility! "

Brandi and ZuZu Peddals -

"We can't thank you and your band enough for making our reception an amazing night! I knew we were in good hands when we first met with you and I could just trust that you would make the reception fun for all in attendance.  I could not have picked a more entertaining and talented group of musicians to perform on our wedding night. I had family members still talking a week later at our family reunion about how much fun they had dancing and listening to your band. Thank you so much for learning our first dance song, "Angel Eyes"  and making it so memorable to hear from a live band! We thank you so much for entertaining our family and friends and having our wedding filled with such wonderful memories!"

Thank you!!

Taryn and Jason Genovese ~ July 14, 2007 Royal Oaks Country Club
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------"I know that I called you after the wedding to thank you and ZuZu Peddals for the magical evening in providing the music for Taryn and Jason’s wedding reception, but I wanted to put this in writing so other brides could know ahead that they have no worries at all in booking ZuZu Peddals for their reception. 

I truly thank you for your professionalism and unbelievable talent that you shared with our guests and family at the reception.  People all evening kept asking us for the name of the group and how we found you.  ZuZu Peddals made the reception all that Taryn and Jason had dreamed of having that night.  Our guests did not want the evening to end; you have a special way of knowing what songs will get guests of all ages on the dance floor.  Thank you for making the evening so memorable; you made dreams come true!"

Sincerely, Brenda Monk (Mother of bride ~ July 14, 2007 Royal Oaks Country Club)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------"We cannot thank you enough for doing all that you did so dedicatedly, and I am indebted to you and your fine band for synchronizing every moment so elegantly and fabulously.  Please let them know our pleasure and joy.  We are late in expresing our gratitude.  Two weeks have gone by, and our foreign guests and relatives have just left Dallas.  We finally have a few moments to get back to our routine after the exciting months of preparation for the wedding of Cheryl and Stephen Fish.

Cheryl and Stephen flew to greece and the Greek Islands on their honeymoon and have returned safe, happy and tanned.  With best regards and good wishes,"

Sincerely,

"Brandi, thank you! Simply put—ZuZu Peddals is the BEST! We could not have asked for a better performance at my daughter’s reception. After all the hard work and planning that Mom’s and their daughters do for the rest of the reception it is certainly nice that the “BAND” comes thru and completes the occasion. What professionals you guys are! From the easy listening start, to the professional way you made the announcements, to the high energy “rock-n-roll” finish it was great fun. I feel very fortunate that we picked your band and I appreciate the advice from Carol Marks Music. Thanks again so much!"

"I just wanted to let you know how much we loved y’all at our reception! All of you did a fantastic job and I had so many guests tell me that they absolutely loved the band. The only regret I have is that I wish it would have lasted longer. It seemed to fly by way too fast and we were constantly being pulled in every direction that we really didn’t get to get out on the dance floor and have a good time. I had recent brides tell me that it would fly by really fast but I thought that 7 to 10:30 would be plenty of time and that I would be ready to leave. Anyways, the time that we were there we had a blast and thought y’all were the best band ever!! Thank you again for doing an awesome job!"

Stefanie Roach, Bride, May 19, 2007

"Thank you so much for playing such great Music at our wedding on April 21, 2007! Brandi, Your voice is amazing and the band played beuatifully! We couldn't have asked for a better band. I think our first dance song, My Best Friend by Tim McGraw, was done perfectly!!! And the Father/Daughter Dance music was priceless. I think we caught everyone off gaurd dancing to My Little Girl by Tim McGraw and then breaking into Surfing USA by the beach boys! Such a great time! It got everyone out on the dance floor!! Thanks again for everything.
We will definitely use ZuZu Peddals in the future for our upcoming parties!"

Pam Shriber, The Turning Point, November 6, 2004
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------"Please accept my heartfelt appreciation for the excellent performance by ZuZu Peddals for our daughter's wedding reception at the Fort Worth Petroleum Club Saturday, August 21, 2004. What a beautiful voice Brandi has. Everyone was captivated by it and by the great music the band played. I think the band is the glue that holds the reception together and it is testament to how great they are that there was a dance floor full of people right up until the very last minute! Everyone from 5 years old to 70+ were dancing with abandon all night long. The bride and groom were right out there in the middle of the floor with everyone else and having an absolute ball. They say at weddings the most talked about thing is 1. The Bride's dress and 2. The wedding cake. Despite both of these being beautiful and #2 being delicious, ALL of the comments I have received in phone calls and emails the last few days have been about what fun everyone had at the reception and how great the band was. here is an exerpt from an email from the Maid of Honor this morning:

I had the best time - I just keep thinking about it and how it was the most fun wedding I have been to. We danced until we dropped! I heard this same thing from Carrie and Megan, too! Thanks for everything. We surely got every penny of our money’s worth that night and were so glad we dug a little deeper into our pockets and found a way to hire a band rather than a D.J.  There is no comparison, especially when it comes to ZuZu Peddals.   We are very very pleased."

Polly Hooper, mother of the bride, August 21, 2004, FT. Worth Petroleum Club

"Dear Brandi, It was such a pleasure working with you and ZuZu Peddals on January 3rd. The band kept everyone on the dance floor all night long. It was such a wonderful party and our clients were beyond pleased. I appreciate your attention to detail and professionalism. Also, your cooperation and flexibility in working with the mariachis was certainly noted. I hope to work with you again soon."

Sonya Villarreal, Catering Manager at The Adolphus Hotel

"Happy? I don't even think that is the word to describe how we felt about ZuZu's performance! We were OVERWHELMED by their performance. They were AWESOME! I have been hearing how wonderful they were for 3 weeks now! People are still talking about them! They were GREAT! And I felt very honored to have them!!" 

Jessica Rocha, January 3, 2004 wedding, The Adolphus Hotel

---------------------------------------
"Brandi,
The band was wonderful.  You guys did a great job.  We are very pleased.  The songs that you learned for us came out great.  The fact that so many people were dancing all night was proof of how good the band was!  Everyone had a great time at the reception.  I talked with Steve's mom the day after the reception and she commented on how her two younger sons, Scott and Joe, were dancing all night.  She said they reminded her of John Travolta and James Brown!!! Thanks again for everything."

Maureen Sheveland, mother of the bride, December 31, 2003 wedding
---------------------------------------
Brandi, I can not express to you how perfect you and ZuZu Peddals made my wedding reception. People are still raving about how wonderful y'all were. And if you couldn't tell, I had a blast myself! I will not hesitate to hire y'all again for an event or refer you to anyone looking for a great party band. Thank you so much!!"

---------------------------------------"Brandi and the band were absolutely fabulous! They listened to our changing needs throughout the night and were absolutely wonderful. Every band member was extremely professional and pleasant to speak with. The sound was perfect!! We got so many great compliments from our guests. The bands appearance and style was perfect for our event. They added a very nice touch of class to the night. I can't think of one thing that I would have changed. We greatly appreciate their nice comments, their professionalism, their anticipation of our needs and their ability to adapt. We were very pleased needless to say!"

Ashley and Bernd Krafthoefer wedding - 10-22-05

---------------------------------------"Brandi, You guys did a great job.... I want you to know that ALL of the comments received were fantastic! Everyone loved the group, the choice of music played, and your voices. They also commented that the sound was perfect; those that hadn't seen each other in a while could sit in the back and talk with ease. Thank you for touching base with me before the event so that we could work a few things out ~ the event went well and your group was the biggest part of that success.... It has been a pleasure working with you and I look forward to seeing you at future events. Take care"
