On behalf of everyone at Events In Motion, we would like to thank you for the great entertainment at the Nim’s Island Movie Premiere After Party.

Your music was definitely a huge hit at the party!

We also really appreciated you going out of your way in assisting the Hula girls with their performance.

“Hi Dano,
Thank you for an incredible performance last night at our Christmas party. We wanted to make it a special event for many of our neighbors that were devastated by the fires here in Fallbrook. Your talent and professionalism far exceeded our expectations. We received many compliments and were told that this was the best Christmas party so far! We will definitely have you out again in the future. Take Care and God Bless.
Mike and Tina Samaras"

"Dear Dan, Dano is the nicest, most professional, and most entertaining musician I have ever hired. He was prompt, he was courteous, and he was definitely a huge part of making our party a huge success! I cannot begin to tell you how satified I was and I plan on hiring Dano many times more in the future. His fees were very reasonable yet he provides a service that could warrant a much higher dollar figure. He is a great guy and your guest will love him. Hire him now, before someone else does!! - "Hey Dano, you're the best man! Thank you so much for being a big part of the success of our party! I'll be in touch, there are a lot more parties to have! Take care buddy."

"Dear Dan, We wanted to take a moment to formally thank you for the AMAZING job you did as the ceremony and cocktail hour entertainment for our wedding at the Hyatt Regency Long Beach on Aug 21, 2004. Music, as you know, was one of the most important elements of the day for us and you provided exactly what we wanted in for the ceremony and cocktail hour. We can't tell how many of our guest commented on how much they enjoyed your performances! If we can ever help you out by serving as a reference for future brides and grooms, or other prospective clients, pleas feel free to contact us. It would be our pleasure to assist you in any way that we can. Again, our sincerest thanks for helping to make our dream day a reality!"

Dear Dan, "You guys were awesome! Paul and I knew the steel drums would be great, but we took a chance on the band since we had never heard you together. We, and our guests were blown away! You could see that you got everyone up dancing but you didn’t hear all the compliments we got. Everyone wanted to know where we found you. You were very easy to work with and very professional. Even though our wedding was casual, I still had the pre-event jitters to some extent. You made me feel confident that everything would be taken care of – and it was! The music was perfect- just our style-and everyone in the band was so nice and obviously into their craft. I think you would have played through the night if the cops hadn’t shown up. Thank you also for refusing to play the Electric Slide (hopefully you don’t even know it). Not all requests need to be honored-and, some deserve to be ignored completely! Please don’t hesitate to use us as a reference anytime. We would be pleased to recommend you highly. Thank you!"
