Rachel Benjamin/Keith Schechter Wedding
"Being from New York and going to numerous affairs, both in the City and on Long Island, my wife and I know that an affair is only as good as the band or orchestra that is playing. I am the first to admit that your Orchestra was spectacular and made our wedding a tremendous success! We have received numeerous calls from our friends telling us how great the music was. Everyone also raved about the three violinists and had never seen anything quite like them. What is truly amazing is that people who did not even attend the wedding have called us to say that they heard that the Orchestra was truly extraordinary. Your Orchestra was equal to any New York orchestra and maybe even better than any orchestra that we have seen perform."
Donald L. Schechter, Father of the Groom

Your repertoire, combined with the wonderful energy on stage, made for an atmosphere where no one wanted to leave the dance floor. You have a very professional approach and you take the time to answer every question, both of which were really reassuring during the planning."

We have utilized a wide variety of both top-names as well as entertainment local to the areas where we do business. In all of my years in this business, I have yet to see anyone get the audience more engaged than the Ken Arlen Orchestra. The energy and professionalism of your team is simply off the charts.

I am speaking for everyone involved in the BRAVO event when requesting that you express your appreciation to your entire orchestra for making this the premiere event held in our community each year.
