BEST WEDDING BAND – The Favorites
“It’s easy to go wrong with a wedding entertainment. The world is full of cheesy deejays who talk too much and bad cover bands that can clear out a dance floor with a single Dire Straits croon. To avoid such pitfalls Diablo readers turn to The Favorites, who got top nod as the East Bay’s best wedding band. From from the Beatles to Elvis to Motown to Van Morrison to the Eagles to Prince to Santana to Gnarles Barkley, you get the picture, the Favorites interpret the best tunes from the last several decades up through today in their own ‘fabulous’ style. Dana Messing, keyboards & vocals, Stephanie Teel, vocals, guitar & flute, Steve Cameron, vocals & drums, and Ric Wilson (no, he’s not a Beach Boy, he just sings like one) vocals & guitar, can jam as a trio or add more pieces and really rock the joint.” – Diablo Magazine
“Dear Favorites, on behalf of the Gilroy Garlic Festival, the Entertainment Committee would like to compliment you on your professionalism and dynamic performance. Every year the Garlic Festival has hundreds of requests for your return as you have many followers among the thousands that return each year. Following each years Festival, there are many inquiries complimenting your performance and seeking information regarding your group. We highly recommend your group for future events.
Sincerely, – Marc Baliton, Gilroy Garlic Festival Entertainment Chair”
“It will be the biggest New Year’s bash ever in San Francisco featuring three of the city’s hottest bands: Big Bang Beat, The Scott Brothers and The Favorites.” – Hyatt Regency, San Francisco
“We flew them back here just to play at my inaugural ball and they were a huge hit with everyone. I have nothing but high praise for them. We highly recommend them.” – Mike Hayden, Governor of Kansas
“The Favorites are just super! We have them on our Bay cruise every year.” – Kathy DeLima, Oakland A’s
“Dear Favorites, we want to thank you for your terrific musical contribution to our party. As I’m sure you noticed by the continually occupied dance floor, our guests enjoyed your playing immensely! We received countless comments from our friends regarding how much they enjoyed the band and the music you played. Tom and I also appreciated how easy you were to work with in accommodating our requirements for the party. We look forward to using “The Favorites” at our next affair. Once again, thank you for being such a pleasant group to deal with and for making our party such an overwhelming succes!
Sincerely, – Susan & Tom, Portola Valley”
“Dear Dana, Gary and I want to express to you and the other members of the band a heart-felt “thank you” for making our wedding (Oct 12th, Sharon Heights Country Club) such a memorable one. You all truly out-did yourselves! As I hoped you noticed everybody was dancing and your encore really topped off the evening. Even our out of town guests took your cards, hoping that someday they might have you play at one of their functions! Take care and we look forward to “hearing” you soon.
Sincerely, – Sheila & Gary”
“The group is very exciting and the sound is exceptional.” – Paul Bowskill, President/General Manager, Rascals on Kuhio – Honolulu, Hawaii
