"I am writing to articulate our sincere and collective thanks for the services of Musicians par Excellence, and in particular the musical talents of the musicians whose fine playing on Saturday was the 'icing on the cake' during my sister’s wedding ceremony. They arrived exactly on time and were professional in every respect. I am particularly grateful for their fine rendering of a piece that I specifically requested, as it is one of my favorites. So many of our guests expressed appreciation for the presence and high caliber of the trio; their contribution made it a truly unforgettable day. Thank you again for your work of coordination; it was a pleasure communicating with you, and I will definitely recommend Musicians par Excellence to anyone seeking a classical touch at their events."

"We all want to say a very special thank you to the jazz trio from last night; they were excellent; everyone was so impressed and the rendition of Hawaii 50 was spectacular, very jazzy and moody and the sax was great. This retirement party would not have been the same without them and we want to make sure that you and the guys all know that it made the event so much more having them there. Very much appreciated."

"The Jazz Quintet you arranged for my friend’s memorial and celebration of his life was exactly how he and I envisioned it before he died. As a long time jazz buff himself, Musicians par Excellence did him proud. I found the members of the band were sensitive to the people at the gathering and were more than willing to play any requests asked. Thanks again and on short notice as well, sure did appreciate it."

"The musicians were absolutely fantastic. I don’t remember much about them on the wedding day itself but I do remember that it sounded beautiful and that one of the musicians smiled up at me warmly while I was standing at the altar and nervously looking around in the crowd. I was so happy that we decided to hire a videographer because I could actually watch all the music afterwards, and indeed it was just beautiful all the way through. I know that my guests enjoyed it very much as well, so thank you for your wonderful service and I will definitely recommend you to others. Regards."

“I waited in the 'wings' and heard my cue for the bridal march, and down the aisle I walked. The music transitioned smoothly, as one piece ended, the wedding march began. The musicians were professionally dressed, were punctual and the music was lovely. I would definitely recommend them. I am glad that we decided to hire professional musicians as it was a nice touch. I appreciate that the performers train in their craft over several years, and there is no overnight transition. I knew that a wedding may be expensive, and after consideration, I had no hesitation in paying the amount of money for hire.”
Leslie Fong and Todd Markin, Vancouver. 2006.
