“Our daughter's wedding at Rosecliff on 11.15.03 was a truly
memorable evening and we have Flipside to thank. The bands ability
to read the crowd and deliver a terrific performance was incredible!
They had everyone on their feet. To look out over the tables during
the last dance and see no one sitting down was the best evidence that
the evening was a great success. Thank you.”
Jane Ryan, Wedding at the Rosecliff Mansion in Newport, RI
“Thank
you, thank you, thank you! The solo pianist set the perfect mood for
the cocktail hour, and the band was unbelievable! Everyone danced
all night, and I kept hearing - “Where did you get this band?
They're great!” The band even learned our wedding song! Best
of all, it was so easy to setup, and, as any bride knows, that's a
rarity. Thanks for being true professionals, and for making our reception
even better than we dreamed.”
Jennifer and Anthony Renzoni, Wedding at the Gamble Mansion in
Boston, MA
