Well, the band was the highlight of the evening! Off the charts reviews from simply everyone of every demographic. Sliding back and forth between classics, contemporary music, ethnic music - it makes me laugh and be filled with gratitude all at once. Again, thank you for making the evening run so smoothly, on time, with fun and conviviality.

David,
Just a quick note to thank you and your entire team for DELIVERING! The CASAblanca Gala went as we hoped and dreamed it would thank to you all, and in its aftermath, there is nothing but rave reviews about the band. From start to finish (mingling, mood, and dance music) you all were THE BOMB. How refreshing to work with true professionals.
It’s always all about the music – people were mesmerized to watch you all, and everyone had a blast. Thank you, again, for making the trip to Valpo to share your gifts of invaluable service.
Eleanor Anaclerio and Kevin Cahalane Wedding – October 12, 2019
David,
I wanted to extend our sincerest thanks for a most extraordinary evening on Saturday night. To say our daughter and her husband had the “night of their lives” would be an understatement - we ALL had the night of our lives! Your band was spectacular and I hope you find tremendous reward in what to bring to the celebration!
All the best,
Michele Seyfarth and James Carmichael Wedding (Peninsula Hotel) – August 31, 2019
David,
Thank you for playing at Michelle and James’ wedding last weekend. You and the band played tremendously and certainly made the evening more fun and energetic. I was especially happy that you were able to accommodate our special performance song! And, you provided a great rendition of Photograph to bring some extra energy to the dance floor after dinner. I would most definitely recommend you to others and hope to have the opportunity to share the evening with you and the band again.
Best,
Julia Barrow and Tom Ryan Wedding (Galleria Marchetti) – August 3, 2019
Our daughter, Julia Barrow, married Tom Ryan at Galleria Marchetti on Saturday, August 3. Front of House played (actually, our third family wedding where FOH played!), and they were marvelous! The small group that played at the ceremony was beautiful to listen to and was perfect in all respects. The full band did a great job introducing the bridal party and the speakers (with all names pronounced just right!) and had just the right pacing and music choice. Folks immediately hit the dance floor and didn’t stop! Several people remarked how great the band was and we couldn’t agree more.
Amy and expressed our happiness with all at the end of the night to the band leader and I hope you’ll share this with the whole group. We’re out of children to marry now, but should anyone ask, you know who we’ll tell them to call.
Thank you for a great night.
Lauren Lange and Matt Smith Wedding – July 27, 2019
David Sherman and Front of House did an outstanding job at our daughter’s wedding reception at the Armory in South Bend. David and Arlen Music were easy to work with from the beginning—met with us months ahead to review a song list; coordinated with our wedding planner to develop a timeline to avoid unexpected delays the evening of the reception; David did a great job as our MC during dinner, introducing the speakers professionally; and the band brought our guests to their feet all night!
Front of House was great to work with and is a great band for any wedding!

Vanessa Lichon, Sister of the BrideLisa Wiatr and James Oetking Wedding – June 1, 2019
The music was spectacular. Front of the House did an outstanding job. All night long my guests kept coming up to me and telling me it was the greatest band they have ever witnessed. From their first selection to their last, the floor was always packed.
Len Wiatr, Father of the BrideHannah Kessler and Nick Warther Wedding – May 26, 2019
Our guests were absolutely raving about Front of House’s fabulous performance. The dance floor was packed and I’ve never seen that many people participate. It was so much fun and made for such a memorable evening for the bride and groom and all our family and friends. David’s personality and professionalism combined with his beautiful voice was a great treat for all.
Thanks so much to all the talent!!!
Carolyn Glantz and John Lanctot Wedding (Union League Club) – December 15, 2018
Dear David & Front of the House -
Thank you for sharing your knowledge and wedding band expertise for our recent wedding. Your services made it a wonderful and memorable event. From the first dance song "One Fine Day" to the last song "All I Want for Christmas is You" and every song between, the dance floor was on fire! People haven’t stopped raving about the band. The vibe that was set exceeded our expectations, couldn’t have asked for a more fun dance floor! We owe it all to you and your wonderful band. I will continue to recommend you guys and hope to enjoy dancing to your music at another event in the future.
Best wishes & Happy New Year!
Emma Rudnik Wedding (Union League Club) – October 13, 2018
When planning my wedding, the one thing that I really wished for is that my guests had a great time and danced the night away. After hearing a few people recommend David and the Front of House band, I was hopeful that they would be the perfect band for my wedding. However, they blew away all of my expectations and helped make my wedding even more special than anything that I could have ever imagined.
I cannot say enough good things about David and Front of House. Not only were they very professional and awesome to work with (especially considering we were planning the wedding from NYC), David was very communicative and open to play every single song we wanted- including some last minute additions to the playlist. They worked with my planner and myself to create the perfect timeline for the night in order to keep the energy going, and it paid off. The dance floor was packed the whole night, even with people who I have never seen on the dance floor. Even though we extended FOH for another hour (until past midnight), the dance party never thinned and the same amount of people were on the dance floor during the last song as during the first song they played.
The next morning, I couldn’t get enough compliments for choosing FOH. So many people told us that it was the best band and the most fun that they had ever had at a wedding.
I would ABSOLUTELY recommend David and Front of House! We were BEYOND impressed with their music and voices and unbelievably happy with this decision. They literally made our wedding. Even though my wedding is over, I cannot wait to attend another wedding where FOH is playing.
Megan Caron and Charles Butler (Field Museum) – September 29, 2018
David,
Thank you and your band for absolutely rocking our wedding! Every person we talk to comments the exact same way…”Best band ever!” We were so happy with how everything turned out.
Love,
