Steve and I are writing to thank you for an unforgettable evening of jazz. Your music was the perfect backdrop for our reception. I cannot tell you how many of our guests told me that this was the first wedding they’d ever been to that they actually enjoyed the reception music. Thank you also for being so accommodating with our guest vocalist. It was a highlight of the evening. We loved having you and hope to hear you play again in the future.

Looking forward to working together again soon!

We’ve had great feedback from the people who attended the recent Engineering Dinner & Dance at the Country Club. Everyone had a great time, and they really enjoyed listening and dancing to the Big Black Cadillac. You provided exactly what we needed - a talented group of musicians who can play any style. And we never expected to see so many of our faculty, students, and alumni on the dance floor! Thanks, Jason. I hope to be able to work with you again.

Lana Hoff, Director of Marketing & Communications

Thank you so much for making our wedding such a great event. The ceremony music was beautiful. We had big fun dancing and so did our guests. Several of them asked the name of this great band, so we hope you get some extra business! Thank you for playing so many of our favorite songs - we loved your version of ‘I Want You More’.

It was a pleasure working with you.

Thank you so much for the wonderful performance you did at my wedding. You were a smash hit! Everyone made wonderful comments on you and your band. Especially your female vocalist! She was dynamite!! Thanks again for taking my hand in the whole planning process - my husband and I felt very confident with everything and so pleased and excited with your choices of songs and performance. I highly recommend you to anyone! Thanks for a beautiful and extremely fun wedding performance!

Elizabeth & Derek Litwiller

I just wanted to thank you for what a great job you guys did at our wedding! Most of our friends are not ‘dancing people’. We have been to several weddings that had many of the same people at them, and there was hardly ever anyone on the dance floor. You guys had the dance floor packed all night long! You really exceeded our expectations and really helped everyone to have a great time - many of our friends have been telling us that it was the best wedding they had ever been to. So thanks again, and if you ever need a reference or recommendation please do not hesitate to call.

I wanted to thank you once again for a wonderful evening of music this past Friday. Everyone I talked with was very impressed and thought you sounded great.

I had to write and tell you how wonderful you guys are! You truly made our wedding even more special then it already was with your laid back style, flexibility, and amazing musicians. The ceremony music was wonderful. The cocktail and dinner music sets were perfect and of course when Billy got going, we were in heaven!! His version of ‘Someone Like You’ was out of this world – we were wondering if anyone but Van Morrison could pull off a Van Morrison tune, and he did it with genius! I particularly loved his ‘Let’s Stay Together’ and all of the songs that you picked out were perfect for the crowd. So many people have commented on how much they loved your band – it was really a pleasure working together. I will recommend you highly to anyone who asks! Many Thanks Again,

Sincere thanks for helping to make our wedding reception an absolutely perfect evening! Beginning with the cocktail hour - the quartet was elegant, smooth, and well versed in great jazz. We loved Billy’s version of ‘Let’s Stay Together’. It was as soulful as the original. Every one of our friends commented on how much they enjoyed dancing to your band, and how great all the musicians and singers were. We appreciate all that you did to make the sets so flawless. Your band has a terrific energy and presence. Best of luck in the future.

You and your band were awesome! I can’t tell you how happy we were. Pete’s never danced that much before, so it had to be good tunes. You made our night! I couldn’t go wrong with Fort Collins. Thank you so much for making our day perfect. Please express to the band our thanks.

Alisa & Pete Mumola

Sharon and Clint Lindell
11/9/01, First Presbyterian Church, Fort Collins, CO

We were absolutely impressed by the professionalism, showmanship, expertise, and finesse of you and your group. We really loved the diversity of your musicians. The mellow jazz during the cocktail hour was just what we needed while our guests visited after the ceremony. The jazz piano during the dinner hour was light and soothing and created a really nice ambiance. And, all of our guests were really impressed when you guys kicked it into gear for the rest of the reception. We received many compliments about you from our guests who were very impressed. They all said you were AWESOME! Of course, George and I loved the music during our first dance. The version of Van Morrison’s ‘Crazy Love’ was beautiful. So was the version of ‘Moondance’ and the Big Band Classics you played for us like ‘Satin Doll’, and ‘I Left My Heart In San Francisco’. You made our wedding very, very special - and fun. Thanks.

Jennifer and George Merriman

Thank you so much for the wonderful job your band did at our wedding. Every single guest commented on how great you guys were. Nick and I were thrilled and thought you all did a beautiful job...from the lovely ceremony to the Lynyrd Skynyrd! Thank you also for moving inside at the last minute - I’m sure things were a bit hectic and we truly appreciate your willingness to be flexible. Thanks again - we loved our wedding and you guys did a great job towards making it wonderful! We will definitely recommend your band and please feel free to use us as references at any time. Thank you again.

Tammy and Nick Cayou
9/8/01, Ten Mile Station, Breckenridge, CO

As you know, we booked your band a year in advance. I have to commend you, Jason, for continually talking and working with us to make our first night as husband and wife truly magical. You never made us feel that we were trying to overly ‘control’ the preparations nor did you ever shoo away any suggestions that we may have had in the planning process. Your untiring commitment to our special day was truly commendable. Thank you so much for that.

Your singer did an AMAZING job! Her sultry/bluesy tone set the exact mood we wanted our guests to experience. And, she did an outstanding job on our first song, ‘At Last’. I couldn’t have asked for a better rendition of such a classic love song. Like I said up to this point and will say again and again, fantastic, superb, Amazing!

We highly recommend your band for anyone considering hiring you for weddings parties, or other engagements. Please use Mark or I as a reference at any time. In addition, please share these words of thanks with the rest of the band and Stephanie. We look forward to catching up with you in the future, especially this New Year’s Eve at Lindens. Good luck in the rest of your professional and personal endeavors, but for some reason, I just know you won’t need it. With deepest thanks,

Korrie and Mark Johnston

On behalf of the Steamboat Springs Winter Sports Club, thank you & Cadillac Jazz for playing at our recent fundraiser, the Ski Ball & Auction. You guys were great and as an event coordinator, it was rewarding to see the dance floor packed with people dancing & all with smiles on their faces!

I will definitely recommend Cadillac Jazz and as I mentioned the night of the event, I will contact you about the possibility of playing my wedding next year. Best Regards,

I wanted to send a quick note of thanks to you for making our reception such a classy affair! I knew the second I heard you at Mark and Korrie’s wedding last September, that your group would be perfect, and I wasn’t disappointed in the least!! I just can’t say enough about how easy it’s been to work with you, how accommodating you were in playing ‘No Ordinary Love’ for us (we’re still raving about how perfect that was!!!), and how professional and great a sound you have. You guys are just terrific! I wish you all the success and I am so grateful we found you. Thank you for being a part of our big day and for making our reception not only successful, but class all the way!

THANK YOU!!! I cannot believe how fortunate we were to have a band like Cadillac Jazz at our wedding. I have never seen my friends have so much fun dancing away the entire night. You had told me that you knew how to get the crowd up on their feet and I never really expected so much. The music was incredible and the energy was contagious. I think the fact that the guests wanted an encore after the last song speaks volumes for how much everyone enjoyed the evening. Thank you again for everything, we are very happy that you were a pert of our evening.

Molly and Ryan Spowell

Andrew was my personal favorite because I played the sax for many years. His sound was exceptional. Everyone commented on the talented pianist. We were honored to have Chip play at our reception. I could tell that you were enjoying playing with him. It was great to have the drummer for a nice strong beat for dancing. The mix was perfect. Thanks for working with us on arranging the set. By the way, we have listened to your CD several times. It is great!
