July 27, 2010 - from Maura and Jeff Bird - The Holden Inn, Wellfleet, MAMy husband and I had a beautiful Cape Cod wedding -- the food was delicious, the flowers were gorgeous, our family and friends were a blast, but the most memorable piece about our wedding was the band. DeZyne was by far the highlight of our special day. From our first song to the very last, our family and friends were out on the dance floor dancing up a storm. From the first conversation we had with Gerry from the band, we felt so comfortable -- and our instincts were right. DeZyne was so easy to work with and went above and beyond what we thought they would do for our wedding. If we could give any advice to couples planning their wedding, the band is central and DeZyne is THE band!! We had the perfect day, thank you so much DeZyne -- we love you guys!!!

May 20, 2010 - from Karen and Kirk Wood - Lake of Isles at Foxwoods Resort Casino, North Stonington, CTWOW! Kirk and I are still blown away by the band's performance at our wedding reception. We couldn't sit down! Guests are still commenting on the incredible performance DeZyne gave. Even the staff at Lake of Isles said this is the BEST band they have heard perform there in the last 5 years -- and they do a myriad of banquets and weddings there, so kudos to you all. We cannot thank you enough for making our day extra special -- it was exhilarating, non-stop and extremely fun!! We will highly recommend you to anyone looking for a true high-energy party band, whether it's commercial or private.

February 16, 2010 - from Sirrah Laughery, Event Coordinator - International Aero Engines, East Hartford, CTA big thank you again for your performance at our Holiday Party on December 12, 2009 at Saint Clements Castle in Portland, Connecticut. We’ve had stellar reviews from all our employees here about how wonderful you are! We would love to have DeZyne perform at our Holiday Party this year as well.

*Note: IAE has rebooked DeZyne for the third time at their December 2011 (and 2010) Holiday Parties in Connecticut.

June 4, 2008 - from David Lavalley, Executive Director - The Center for Arts in Natick (TCAN), MAAnytime you get three great lead singers in the same band, musical sparks are gonna fly -- but DeZyne adds a killer rhythm section, high-energy showmanship and a commitment to re-creating the best soul tunes in the universe, note for delicious note. Does it get any better than this? Oh yeah…from four-on-the-floor disco to funky grooves to the lush, make-ya-wanna-cry sounds of Philadelphia, DeZyne drags you to the dance floor and doesn’t stop til’ you get enough. What a blast!

*Note: DeZyne has headlined at TCAN on three separate ocassions and has had recent discussions for a follow-up performance.

May 10, 2008 - from Laura Paulin and Evan Grove - Willowdale Estate, Topsfield, MA To Gerry and all of the members of DeZyne:

THANK YOU all so much for an amazing performance at our wedding in Topsfield!! We were all very impressed with your professionalism and musicianship. You all sounded and looked amazing! We had more fun than we could even imagine. Every guest at our wedding commented on how great you all were and how much fun they had. People are still talking...even friends who aren't engaged yet are talking about hiring you as their wedding band. The dance floor was certainly packed all night. Thank you also for learning our special request...that was definitely our favorite and you did it perfectly!! If you are ever in need of references, please feel free to use my name. I am more than willing to recommend you to other brides!! I will be moving to the Bronx in June, but will always try to see you perform when I am back in MA. Thank you again and best of luck in all of your endeavors.

June 30, 2007 - from Mary Lou and Mark Perlot - Aqua Turf Country Club - Meriden, CTDeZyne played at our daughter's wedding in the summer of '07. They were thoroughly entertaining and professional. Everyone danced including the bride's 83-year old grandmother. Their music appealed to guests of all ages. Our neighbors danced most every dance, and they usually only dance the obligatory slow dances. Whenever anyone talks to us about the wedding, they still mention how much fun the band was to both listen to and watch. We would highly recommend DeZyne for your wedding!

May 15, 2007 - from Joanne P. Brine, Chairman, Senior Entertainment Committee - Edgartown Yacht Club - Martha's Vineyard, MA "After seeing DeZyne at a charity event for Metrolacrosse in Boston, I knew we needed to book them as entertainment for one of our dances in 2006. Luckily, DeZyne was able to play our 12 Meter Regatta Dance in August of 2006. As Chairman of the Entertainment Committee, I get all of the criticisms and not a lot of credit. DeZyne proved to be all kudos for me and my committee. People stopped me on the street and wanted to comment on how great the band is and wonder where they came from! Our members are particular about the bands we book and they danced the night away to the wonderful music and enjoyed the stage show DeZyne adds to an evening. We got so much positive feedback that we booked them this summer for our 4th of July Dance (our big summer kick-off) and our Last Chance Dance in August. We couldn’t be happier with the band and management and have found them wonderful to work with."

*Note: DeZyne has been privileged to have events rebooked for the sixth year during the EYC 2008-2011 Sailing Seasons.

May 8, 2007 - from Heidi A. Davis, Corporate Events Director - American Heart Association, Northeast Affiliate - Framingham, MA"On behalf of Central Massacusetts Heart Walk Staff and more than 5,000 participants, we would like to thank you for performing at our event on April 28, 2007. DeZyne's performance was the highlight of this year’s event. You touched many peoples lives by being part of this very important day. I look forward to working with you on the 2008 Central Massacusetts Heart Walk. Thanks once again!"

*Note: The Heart Walk 2008-2009 performances were also huge successes.
