Illusions
- If you want a lot of musicians save it for the dance set. Solo or duo instrumental music is perfect for cocktails and dinner when the focus should be on conversation.
- Make a CD of your favorite songs to be played over the PA during band breaks.
- Put a recording of your first dance and other meaningful songs on a disc to give as parting gifts to guests. Design your own inserts for the case on your computer. It's easy, personal and affordable.
"We wanted to thank you for helping to make our reception perfect in every way. Your voices were great and our first dance was perfect, just as we had imagined it. The music was lively and you were a great Emcee! We knew we wanted good music and you guys blew us away!"
Diana and Will Cohen at Spaggia, Chicago
"I researched tons of bands and am so happy we decided on you. Thank you for playing our special requests over the sound system during your breaks. I have two sets of friends getting married who were at the wedding and they have both said they are hiring you as their band."
Douglas Jack at Big Foot Country Club, Lake Geneva
"Thanks Temple - you and the band did a great job. Even my 92-year-old dad was dancing! Many thanks to you and your entire ensemble. You were a great addition to the evening and we will keep your information handy for events and such that happen throughout the year."
Jodi Kurtze and Marge Teller for the annual gala benefit for American Juvenile Diabetes Association at the Saddle and Cycle Club.
"People are still talking about you and how wonderful you all were. You kept the dance floor packed, and people singing and smiling all night long. Thank you for your flexibility and calm nature... you were by far the most pleasant vendor to work with for our wedding. Temple, thank you for taking the time to learn "Better Together" for our first dance... it was beautiful, and everyone thought it sounded so wonderful. We really appreciated you going the extra step to learn the song for us, as it is a very special song in our lives. Also, my mother-in-law was so touched that you learned the mother-son song in such a short amount of time, and sang it so beautifully."
Ashley Currier, Tower Club at Symphony Center
"Thank you for a wonderful wedding. The sign of a great band is a crowded dance floor, and it certainly was crowded!!! You guys were fantastic."
Susan Tigue, Union League Club
"Having studied music, I am truly amazed with the talent in Rhapsody. So many of you double up on instruments and sing. The vocals are great. You are about the farthest thing away from a stereotypical wedding band and we loved that. It's good to know that there is a great band for people to just celebrate and party to. My sister hired a much more expensive band last year for her wedding and she couldn't believe how much better you were."
Amy Herman, Garfield Park Conservatory
"We were extremely happy with the music you guys played for our wedding. My parents loved your wide selection of songs that everyone could dance to."
Mr. and Mrs. Randall Borchardt, Chicago Historical Society
"We are receiving countless compliments about your music. Everyone is saying, I don't remember a time when everyone danced all night long. Your music filled the air, lifted our guests and gave the evening exactly what we had hoped for. FUN!"
Gillian and Rick, Park Ridge Country Club
