My name is Sarah (Heatherington) Zarek, and you guys played for our wedding in Charleston on March 13.  The party seemed to fly by, and before I knew it we were getting whisked off to leave and I hadn't even gotten to talk to you, but I just wanted to let you know how fabulous we all thought you were! Our guests commented on how great the selections were for our easy-going daytime reception, and we couldn't agree more.   I thought you guys were very professional but still fun; the perfect mix.  We will recommend you to our legions of 20-something year old friends who are all in the throes of wedding fever.  Thanks so much for making our reception so much fun!

sincerely,
Sarah and Chris Zarek

To the Coconut Groove Band,
Thanks for the wonderful evening of entertainment at
the (wedding) reception in the aquarium (Manteo, NC). Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the music, your voices and your ability to do
different styles. You were very professional and
courteous. We would love to use your band again and
would highly recommend you to anyone.
 Thank you.

The Coconut Groove Band was amazing!  They did a terrific job and had
the whole place dancing like crazy.  I could not be more happy with the
selection.  They were extremely courteous and so easy to deal with.  I
even received a nice email from them after the wedding.  If you ever
want to use me as a reference for them, don't hesitate.  I will give an
extremely satisfied and enthusiastic review.  Thanks again for all your
help.

Sincerely,
Brandon
