"I want to thank you guys for being the most awesome band ever.  I really believe that the band makes or breaks a wedding and you guys sure made mine and Ryan's
one that people are still talking about (six months and going strong on band flattery). My calves were so sore from dancing that I had a hard time going down the stairs at
our hotel on our honeymoon for the first few days!"

"You were unbelievable! I wanted to thank you for such an amazing night - our wedding reception was even better than I had ever hoped it could be thanks to the fabulous OJB.
Our friends and family have not stopped raving about the "great!" "fabulous!" "where did you ever find them?" band  -  we are definitely fans for life and are looking forward to
seeing you guys play live again soon."

"Thanks for making our wedding simply the best. I swear every guest has either e-mailed us or called remarking '...ohmigosh and that BAND!' Everyone was absolutely raving about the music, they all loved every note you played. You all are completely awesome."
Colleen Loftus & Jim Beatty

"Someone pointed out to us that even though the room was relatively small, your volume didn't overpower anyone, and it was still possible for people to have a comfortable
conversation while the band was playing. Your enthusiasm for the music is so infectious, even the most tone-deaf person can't help but be moved to tapping their feet.
Bottom line is, you guys fulfilled every expectation and beyond."
David & Colleen Wytmar

We wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed everything you all did at our wedding. We received so many compliments. A band goes such a long way for setting the tone
at weddings, and you guys were great. Thanks again for everything.

"Hi - last night was the first time I have seen your band play. . .and definitely not the last!!! In about two songs, you guys became my favorite live swing band! I spent several
numbers trying to think of an occasion I could fabricate to hire you. . .I was close to asking random people to marry me, just to have a wedding reception!
Thanks for a great, great evening!"

"I saw OJB for the first time this weekend at Logan Square, and you guys ROCKED!! When are you recording a CD?!?!?
