"Thank you all for a wonderful performance at our daughters wedding. You truly exceeded our expectations! The eight piece was definitely the way to go. The horns added a nice touch. We have received numerous phone calls from people who couldn't attend, commenting that they heard what a great band we had. You were right…a great band is the "key" to a successful and memorable celebration. We will recommend Eminence to all of our friends."

"Thanks for the fabulous evening. It was wonderful to see all of our family and but friends, but Eminence definitely "made" our reception! You are one group of very talented musicians - Tina's voice is beautiful and your enthusiasm was non-stop. We also appreciate your level of detail during all the planning. You're the best!."

"Wow, you were incredible! You were recommended to us by everyone including the Florist, Videographer, Caterer and they were right…you are the best variety band we've ever heard. We had many choices of bands, living in Chicago but you out-do them all with your versatility, quality of music and professionalism. Our friends couldn't believe you're based in Traverse City, MI. We can't imagine a more perfect reception. Thank you Tina, John & Eminence!"

"We want to express once again our sincere thanks to the band, Eminence, for contributing such talent and time to our wedding day. All were truly impressed with both the variety and quality of music played by the band. Eminence made this evening forever memorable and the dance floor was consistently filled…a true sign of a "great" band!"

"Eminence was the BEST! Over the years Eminence has provided us with a variety of theme parties including Western, 50's, Caribbean, Rock and Italian night. Each time we wondered how your group could possibly do better than the year before – and each time finding you were just that…better. There is nothing you can't do very well. One of the most impressive aspects of working with Eminence is your professionalism and attentiveness to all aspects of the event. Your repertoire of songs astounds me. It has been over 7 years that we've worked together and it has always been a pleasure!"

"Dear Eminence, thank you very much for the wonderful performance you gave last Saturday night at our wedding! For us, one of the most special moments of the day was when we looked across the Rose Room and saw that not a single guest was sitting - they were all on the dance floor. The Perry was right, you are the best-band in Michigan!"

"What a day! From the pianist & vocalist during the Ceremony; to the Jazz Trio during Cocktails; onto the Guitarist & Flute duo during dinner; to the Reception with the six piece band...it was an evening of impeccable music! It's amazing that Eminence truly "does it all". From planning the details to the day of execution you were so professional and all so talented. My son is getting married next year...mark you calendar, Eminence!"

"Thank you for your wonderful performance at the Saginaw County Chamber of Commerce Chairman's Ball on February 2, 2002. We have received so many wonderful comments about the performance of Eminence. Your seven-piece group provided a wonderful variety of music for dancing and the three-piece instrumental group added a nice touch during dinner. We look forward to inviting you back to this event in the future and would gladly recommend you to others looking for live entertainment for their events. Please pass on to all members of Eminence that they are extremely talented and very personable. Again, kudos on your performance at the Chairman's Ball. It was a fun evening of socializing, fine dining and dancing."
