Hello Mr. Artis,

I just wanted to express our gratitude for your fabulous performance at our daughter's wedding on the 21st. There wasn't a single person who didn't have a great time that evening. You managed to get everyone up and dancing...even our stodgy stoic relatives. That was quite a feat, considering that there were 350 people there! Everyone had a smile on their faces and everyone complimented your band!

I have already recommended you several times and will continue to do so. I especially appreciated your professionalism and your tolerance to everyone's wishes...and there were many. Your band just kept going with the flow of the evening. All of our guests were disappointed when the reception ended. They could have danced and sang with you all night long.

Thank you again for such a wonderful and memorable evening.

John and Norita McGreevy

Thank you for all you did to make our wedding such a hit! Everyone we talked with said you raised the bar for all future events. Your choice for the first dance was great and your ability to keep the dance floor filled was amazing. Thanks for everything.

"We both want to let you know how much we enjoyed having you play at our wedding reception. You were the best! We pictured a reception where guests of all ages would dance all night, and that’s exactly what we got! We can’t begin to tell you how many people have told us (at the reception and weeks afterwards) how much fun you all were. In addition, you were extremely professional and courteous. We would highly recommend the Johnny Artis Band to anyone!"

"The Kornicopia CD knocked me off my feet! Strong songs all the way, done with a lot of passion and something I often miss in music today: honesty and integrity, You now have a really devoted fan in the north of Europe (Norway)."

The Johnny Artis Band was such an integral, vivid part of our wedding day. Thank you so much for a fantastic show. You and the band were sensational. Many people commented on your performance and energy. I’ve never seen so many people stay on the dance floor for so long. The party exceeded our wildest expectations!

I just wanted to thank you so very much for the wonderful performance at the Anixter Christmas Party. You can probably tell that everyone had so much fun. Although we are located in Reston, many people came from Pennsylvania, Baltimore, Florida and Missouri and said it ‘was worth the trip’. The wide variety of music allowed everyone to feel comfortable and enjoy themselves. The Christmas duets with the trombone and keyboard and sax and keyboard prior to the band’s performance was a nice touch. . . The guys in the band made everybody feel special by mixing with the crowd and sharing common interests. I don’t know how we will top this next year. I don’t know how to ever thank you for all you did to make this such a special occasion for all.

"I think the key to a great wedding is the music. The reception is what people remember the most. Not the food, not the flowers, but the music. The Johnny Artis Band exuded a feeling of excitement and energy. All of their songs, including the ones played before dinner, had everyone on their feet both young and old. There have even been some friends traveling to see the band since the wedding. All I have to say is that I am happy I took someone else's recommendation to book them. They are fantastic and are sure to make any event something to remember. Many thanks to you all for making our wedding great!"
