| We were very pleased with the music Melonbelly performed at our wedding and reception. Their music and performance was exactly as we had imagined for our special day. Melonbelly completed the intimate atmosphere we sought after for our wedding day. They are extremely talented musical artists, and were able to play all of our requests beautifully. We received numerous compliments from our guests on how wonderfully they played, and we were praised for the idea of having a guitar duo instead of the typical wedding DJ. Melonbelly brought to our wedding a more sophisticated ambiance. I will defiantly be referring Melonbelly to other brides, and will keep them in mind for any other future functions. Thank you again!

We had such an amazing time at the reception and you were such a big part of making that happen! Thank you so much for the superb performance and letting some of our "special guests" join in. It truly was an unforgettable experience! We hope you have a wonderful year and if you need any recommendations or reviews in the future please don't hesitate to ask!

...another recent email from a past client:
Hey There!
Y'all played at our wedding 3 years ago in Athens, GA and we absolutely LOVED you! Even now, when folks talk about our wedding, they always talk about how wonderful the music was! I know that at one time you had a Melonbelly CD available for purchase. However, I did not see it on your website anymore. Is it still available? And if so, how do I go about getting it?
Thank you so much for your time and congrats on your new successes! It looks like you have been busy the last few years!

We sincerely appreciate your kind comments!

| Hi!
We just wanted to take a minute to thank you for a
wonderful day last Saturday. So many guests asked where we found you
and had many nice things to say about your talent. Everyone thought
you both were great. We also appreciate the fact that you were so
flexible and just willing to go with the flow. The entertainment at a
wedding reception is so important and can make a huge difference in
whether or not the guests have a good time (the alcohol doesn't hurt
either). But really, I can't thank you both enough for being so great
and for contributing to the success of the day. If you ever need a
reference for other brides feel free to send them my way. We only
have good things to say. Thanks again and have a great week!

Yesterday you performed for my brother-in-law's wedding at the
Hayloft. I just wanted to say how much we really enjoyed the
entertainment. My husband and I (musical ourselves) appreciated the
professionalism, dedication, precision, and quality that Melonbelly showed.
We know that long hours, hard work, and the love of music all go into a
flawless performance...so thank you for sharing that with us.
As I said, we all enjoyed it, even the smallest of the bunch. It was my
niece Maggie, the little girl in pigtails, that rocked out to you at the
end. Not even two, she knows good music when she hears it! :-) Thank you for including the younger ones in their own set of Ring O Round the Rosie,
London Bridge and Itsy Bitsy Spider!
Attached is a photo I took of Melonbelly..and I turned it into photo art.
Hope you like it! Best of luck on future endeavors, and I hope we have the good fortune to hear you guys again.
Sincerely,
The H. Family

Thank you so much for making our most important day so relaxed and so
special. We were most surprised and most grateful that you took the time to
learn a song very special to us. You both helped our day to be fun, relaxed,
and you added such a touch of class to our ceremony and reception. I would
highly recommend Melonbelly for any event - you were easy to work with and
really took the time to make sure that we heard everything we wanted. It is
so nice to work with musicians who are truly interested in the happiness of
their clients. Thank you so much for everything!

The Stanly Regional Medical Foundation Fundraiser
Melonbelly was the ideal entertainment for our fundraiser. They are great musicians and sing in wonderful harmony. What a bonus that they were personable and professional! They were attentive to the variety of guests attending the fundraiser and their music selection was perfect for the crowd. Melonbelly was really a brilliant addition to the fundraiser this year. I have shared contact information for numerous times and look forward to seeing them perform again. Any event, any occasion---Melonbelly will impress your guests.

Wedding Reception - Seven Lakes, NC
“We LOVE the band! Where did you find them? They are perfect! Where can
we buy their CD? Oh, and by the way, your wedding was beautiful.”…These
are just a few of the comments we heard at our March 25 wedding
reception, and we still have guests emailing us with similar remarks to
this day! From the moment we talked with them and listened
to their music, we knew we had found our band! They have such a huge
repertoire of songs, and they even offered to learn a song or two if necessary. They were extremely professional, yet laid back
and went out of their way countless times to make sure we felt relaxed
and at ease. More than anything, they are extremely nice
and genuinely cared about making our wedding day special. "

(We received a nice Christmas note from Brandon...)
Hey guys -
Just wanted to send a quick thanks for the Chrismas CD I ordered - It was Tracy's absolute favorite gift (said it was the most thoughtful!)! We listened to it in the car since we were on the road a lot over the holidays (between grandparents' houses - we've got a six month old now!!)
We still talk about what a great job you did at our reception and we're also honored that we're still up on your site!
Hope to see you perform in person again sometime soon. Thanks again for everything!
