From the Support Connection, April 10th, 2010:
"You guys are wonderful. Heard you quite a few times at Support Connection Galas. Your diversity is what does it. Enjoyed all your songs."— Janet Pietrangelo"I wanted to tell you how much we enjoyed your music on Saturday night! You played a wide variety of music - 70's, 80's and so many current songs - and everyone could not wait to get on the dance floor. GREAT JOB!"
— Anne Corsano"I have now been to several functions and have had the pleasure of listening and dancing to your music. You never fail to get the party started and keep it going! For those out there who have not had the pleasure of live entertainment recently, this band will not disappoint you!"
— Jane Gentile"As Always A Wonderful Job By The Big Kahuna Band. I Enjoyed Their Music Very Much. Always A Great Time. Thank You For Helping Make It A Wonderful Night For Support Connection!"
— Deirdre Conley"Thank you for a fantastic night of dancing and great entertainment. With over 350 guests at our Gala, you had almost everyone up dancing!! Even our non dancers commented how much they enjoyed listening to the music. You are the best and I recommend you to anyone looking for a band. Thanks for helping us have a successful Gala to raise money for people affected by breast and ovarian cancer--see you next year!!"

From The Hurleyville Fire Department Installation Dinner, January 2010:
"Lightning strikes twice with the Big Kahuna band! On January 9, 2010 the Hurleyville Fire Department hosted our annual installation dinner and we were pleased to have the Big Kahuna band back for our entertainment. Bob, Casey and the band were outstanding as usual and we all had a great time. They surely put on a fire show we couldn't contain (and didn't want to) so the bottom line is if you want great entertainment that will get everybody out of their seats and on the dance floor you don't have to look to far take it from me its a three alarmer you like to respond to!"— Jim Kaufman, Chief, Hurleyville Fire Department
From the WHUD Radio Station Christmas Party, December 2009
"My name is Deanna and I am the Event Coordinator for K104 and WHUD. I love the Big Kahuna Band's versatile sound and their enthusiasm, they really know how to entertain and get EVERYBODY on the dance floor. That is why I not only hire them for our radio station's events, but this year we hired them for our OWN Holiday Party! They did an amazing job and successfully made it our BEST Holiday Party yet! We have different personalities, and different musical genres that needed to be catered to, and it was awesome that The Big Kahuna Band knew so much and played everything from Pitbull's "I Know You Want Me" to Eric Clapton's "You Look Wonderful Tonight" And for that I say Thank you Big Kahuna Band!"— Deanna Miller, Event Coordinator, WHUD
From the Elizabeth Anne Seton Ball, November 2009:
"Thank you so much! We had a Ball ( literally and figuratively as well!). I cannot tell you how everyone raved about the event, music, etc. You get everyone up dancing and just having a wonderful time. I am so grateful for your kindness in discounting the evening. I will get on the guestbook as soon as I can. Thanks and have a great day. The band certainly gave 300 people the opportunity to have a fabulous time."— Katherine Quinn, Executive Director, Elizabeth Anne Seton Ball
From The Town of New Windsor, July 2009:

From The Aline & Brian Speeckaert Wedding, July 2009:
"Thank so much for the amazing time!!! You kept the dance floor full all night!! Everyone had the best time! I am still hearing how great our wedding band was. You are awesome! Thank you!!!"— Aline & Brian"I just wanted to echo Aline's sentiments about how incredible you were!!! You were such talented musicians and entertainers - you immediately had a great sense of the bride and groom and crowd's tastes and what we were looking for - the dance floor was PACKED the entire night, and I don't think I've ever seen my husband have so much fun dancing at a wedding. We had a wonderful time and hope to see you at another wedding in the future!"
— Erin"What a great, great time!! You kept everyone dancing the WHOLE night. You were able to sing all kinds of music and you sounded great. THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH! You were terrific!"

listening to your beautiful songs all evening. It was a perfect backdrop
for the gala - not too loud or imposing, but just right for conversations

recommend your band to our friends."

"We would like to thank you one more time for the great music and entertainment you treated us to at the party. Your generous spirit and musical talent filled our evening with plenty of fun. We had heard that your band was excellent and you certainly lived up to your reputation. Hope we will have a chance to "party" with you again. People here are still talking and many people have said, "the band was great". It was certainly our privilege to have you guys with us for such a special occasion.. Again, thank you for being a part of a special day. Everyone enjoyed the band and also thanks for the mention during the game. We were listening on the way home and hearing your "shout-out" made our day."

Hey Guys,
I can't thank you enough for making my party the talk of the town (and I mean that literally...the neighbors were all talking). You were suburb!! Other than my firework display, you were all everyone talked about for days after. You played all the right music at the perfect tone. I had a variety of age groups, and you hit on all of them. My Dad was especially impressed. I also want to thank you for working with me with the cost. You had a lot of driving time, set up time, playing time and breakdown time that really doesn't add up to what you charged me. I would like to extend myself to all of you, as I am an electrical contractor, if there is anything I can help you with. I also would like to add a special thanks to Casey...THANK YOU!!!! I will continue to "highly" recommend you, as a few of my guests have already asked for your contact information. Attached is the site where you can view some of the pictures from that day.
Thank you....again,

"Thank you for playing at our pool party at Jefferson Village. All our parties in the past have utilized the services of a DJ and having the band there was a refreshing change. Actually it was better than the DJ! All our homeowners were delighted at the quality of music and someone commented to me that they thought they were at a concert. It has been a pleasure working with you and your band."

"Margarette and I want to thank you all for playing at our wedding and for making it the rousing success that it was! Not being able to talk to you in person but communicating entirely by phone and email from California as we did, it was amazing how easily you handled the affair. From dealing with the caterers (and even the party rental company!), playing our requests and co-ordinating the sequence of events, you made it all come off flawlessly. And of course the music sounded great."

"Big Kahuna made our annual department dinner dance a hit once again. The reason is that they know how to make it FUN! They are superb musicians, their energy is high, and they really relate to the crowd. They had us on the dance floor to the very end. Thanks to Donna and the rest of BK."
