Weddings
Dear Karen and Randy,
We wanted to wholeheartedly thank you for a phenomenal execution of your talents. Your professionalism was second to none. We appreciate you going above and beyond what was in our itinerary and paying special attention to our wants and desires. From helping us devise a contingency plan when our violinist was late, to playing damage control with a less than sober groomsman, you aced it all. If ever there was a company that deserved a thumbs up, pat on the back, firm hand shake, or homage paid on one knee, B&B Sound is that company. Thanks again from the bottom of both our hearts.

Dear Karen and Randy,
Our association with you began in the planning stages when we first decided to go with a deejay rather than a live band. You suggested options that were only available by working with the two of you. We had some unusual requests, such as surprising our daughter with a special song her grandmother had recorded, honoring the couple who had been married the longest time, and locating a recording of "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" to serve as an intro to another more serious song for Lia and her father's first dance. On numerous occasions, I contacted you with changes and additions to our original and extensive list of songs. Not once did you ever sound less that totally enthusiastic that Barry and I wanted to be so involved with planning the evening. Your selection of songs during the dinner portion of the evening was perfect. Our guests were able to enjoy conversing with one another in an atmosphere of suitable music. The special lighting provided additional excitement and complimented your stunning outfits. I am especially pleased that you exceeded Barry's and my expectations during this special time for Lia and Trent.
Most Sincerely,
Judith A. Thompson
Fate is a strange thing,
Karen and Randy came into my life by accident. There is not much one can comment on when one encounters the polite, courteous, professional, expertise and rare character of Karen and Randy. Not only did they plan every minute of the reception, accommodate all our crazy requests for music, play an amazing array of renaissance feasting music, were pleasant, discreet in their manners, kept the focus on the fun and the guests present, but they actually cared about every detail in the planning of our reception. They treated us like we were family. It's rare, I believe, in this day and age that we come across two professionals that you can put your trust in to cover the most important moments of your life. Every bride dreams of having the perfect wedding. Thanks to Karen and Randy, I did.
With love and the utmost respect to you both,
Kenneth, Vasiliki & Angelo

Dear Karen and Randy,
Once again, you and your crew did an excellent job at our Capital Hospice Polo Cup event. You have a great selection of music and I did not have to worry about a thing. This year was very difficult due to the storms the night before and having to play outdoors with very little covering. You were flexible, calm and had an answer to every dilemma that the event or Mother Nature posed. Please put us on your calendar for next year. You are so professional and the event is that much better because you are there spinning your tunes.
Best Wishes,
Carol Kennedy

Dear Karen,
I wanted to write to thank you for your participation at our Company's Toys for Tots Christmas Party. The party was a great success and we owe a lot of that success to you for setting the perfect atmosphere with a great selection of music that set our holiday scene. At the end of the day, the staff and I enjoyed you expanding the music selection and sharing your Karaoke microphone while we cleaned up after the event. That was so much fun!
Sincerely,

B&B Sounds created such a great party atmosphere for our employee holiday party our staff has requested they return for a summer Sunrise team picnic! Karen and Randy have a sixth sense of what will get people on the dance floor, the variety of music they can play is incredible, they always have something for everyone. When Karen got out on the floor and lead line dances, the house was rocking!!
See you again soon!

"Karen made our residents feel like they were marching down Bourbon Street at our Musical Mardi Gras celebration. We had such a large number of residents participate in this due to Karen’s enthusiastic encouragement! The look on our residents faces as they played all sorts of musical instruments, tapping out rhythms was absolutely priceless. Because of the high level of energy created, residents stayed engaged well over the usual 1 hour time span. Everyone is asking when Karen is coming back!"

To Whom It May Concern,
It is without reservation that I can recommend B & B to perform in any venue for any audience. Together they have the talent and natural intuitiveness to produce music and ambience that matches any event and audience. In addition, both individuals are highly conscientious and responsible, thus eliminating any concerns regarding time lines, preparedness, or appropriateness by event sponsors. No sponsor will be disappointed should they support or hire B & B for their events.
Thank you,

Dear Ms. Bayer and Mr. Benton,
I am writing to say how very pleased we were with your disc jockey services at my 50th birthday celebration at Gunston Hall. My husband and I also called upon you to make several announcements with which you showed flexibility and professionalism. You were very punctual setting up and breaking down, also important when one is renting a hall and time is money.
Sincerely,
Mr. & Ms. Walt Rock

Mardi Gras at Washington Mill Elementary School!
This was not your average hired DJ. Karen and her partner, Randy, are both educators by day and music aficionados by night. While Randy spins the tunes, Karen captivates the students with hands on, personal attention. She answers requests, leads dances, smiles, jokes, and generally conveys to the children that she is happy to be among them. The music comes continually and gives the children a great mix of the old and the new. You can tell 6th graders are satisfied when two hours flies by without any discipline problems and all you see are smiles, cameras flashing and kids dancing, girls AND boys. When Karen and Randy are around, it is truly a PARTY!!!

Dear Karen and Randy,
The event was a first for Newington Forest Elementary School. Parents and students weren't sure what to expect, but the result was amazing. From the Electric Slide to the Cha-Cha Slide and the Limbo, you provided "kid friendly" music and entertainment. Parents have done nothing but rave about the Spring Fling Dance. They expressed great joy in an evening that promoted a true family atmosphere. It was exciting to see parents and kids having so much fun together.
Sincerely,
John Kren, Principal and Chris Gray, Assistant Principal
To Whom It May Concern,
It is with much pleasure that I write this letter of recommendation on behalf f B&B Sound. Karen and Randy recently provided musical entertainment at a principal luncheon hosted by the Cluster V Office with a Mexican Fiesta theme. Ms. Bayer and Mr. Benton selected music that was most fun and appropriate for the occasion. They encouraged audience participation and had principals out of their seats and on the dance floor in no time. They read their audience well and chose music that was appealing and appropriate.
Sincerely,
Betsy Fenske
Cluster Director
