…and from Mother of the Bride posted on WeddingWire June 8, 2015… "Having 5 children 4 of whom are daughters we are proud to say we’ve hosted our last wedding…and for the third time Rich Posmontier was the ensemble of choice. The ensemble is incredibly talented and extremely professional. Rich and Sharon took care of all the details including but not limited to: learning new songs for the ceremony which were non-traditional, helping arrange the reception schedule to keep the caterer happy, and playing music for every generation at the wedding. It was wonderful to look around the venue and see 99% of the tables empty because everyone was dancing. The ensemble can play any type of music and because there are females in the group the vocal range is exceptional especially when a female voice is essential to a song. Once again Rich and the Ensemble came through… "
…and from the Bride posted on The Knot October 22, 2015… This band was so awesome! We got so many compliments at the wedding and days and weeks after the wedding about them! They really kept the party going and made the wedding a hit. My mom loves the band and they played at two of my other sisters’ weddings. It was such a fun night and we had the perfect music to go with it! Thanks Rich!

Rich,
You are the best. Everyone is raving about the music. People danced who never dance (that includes Kay). You are a pleasure to work with and you run a tight ship…We are now working on friends to have parties so they can hire you and we can dance some more… If you…want to use me as a referral…I would be happy to do it.
Thanks for making it a great evening, Louise

Amazing Band!
The Rich Posmontier Ensemble played at my wedding last June and people are still talking about them! Rich was very organized, and made sure that everything was ... They helped us through the process from start to finish, suggesting songs and making sure that all of our concerns were answered.
Everyone was up dancing all night long and couldn't believe that it was a live band playing and not recordings. I can't say enough about this band, they were professional, talented and fun! Highly recommend!

The Rich Posmontier Ensemble performed at our winter wedding two weeks ago.

As an out-of-town bride, I especially appreciated their responsiveness and thorough paperwork leading up to the event. Check out the Rich Posmontier Band if you are looking for an experienced band who you can trust to create a fun and memorable evening!

The Rich Posmontier band was awesome and we are thrilled they played at our wedding! …they are extremely professional, have a great vibe together, and know how to work the room. They were very responsive to our special song requests, learning several new pieces to play for us… SO MANY people told us they hadn't had so much fun dancing in ages... Rich and his band were a fantastic group, and we'd highly recommend them!

Dear Rich Posmontier and band,
We cannot thank you enough for being the entertainment of our special day…We attended a few friends' weddings after ours this fall, and no one held a candle to the energy and excitement (and talent) that you and your team brought. You are true professionals - including your staff who answered emails with efficiency. We wish you many, many years of continued success.
Happy & healthy 2015 and beyond - Megan & Paul Sandhu
P.S. It was a memory to last a lifetime that you permitted my father to play the drums at the reception - a thousand thank you’s for that!
…Also posted on The Knot October 27, 2014… My father experienced this band several years ago, kept their information and swore he would book them for my wedding (he said this before I was even engaged!). True to form, my father booked Rich Posmontier as our first vendor! We actually had to find a location for the reception based on the band's availability – that’s how much we loved them... I'd have him as my planner as well! He did more organized planning than my own planner… Many of my guests commented that they never thought a band at a wedding would be this much fun… Highly recommended.

THE Best Band
Rich, his singers, and his orchestra were absolutely fantastic! Our daughter and her fiance live out of town and Rich …was extremely responsive to emails and phone calls and most of all was very flexible... Rich provided a guide to help think through the evening for the inexperienced :) The ceremony music was perfect... The cocktail hour trio was elegant and classic. Then for the rest of the evening - as all our guests said: this was THE best band they had ever heard. The singers were impressive. Rich as MC kept the party going. We had folks who came from across the country and hope to ask Rich to come out to do their future events...

BEST BAND EVER!
The Rich Posmontier Ensemble truly made my wedding unforgettable! From the moment they started playing, no one could stay in their seats…even our grandparents couldn't stop dancing! …Not only was the music superb, but everyone I spoke to from the band, especially Rich, was very professional and dedicated to combining their extensive knowledge with our specific requests in order to make our reception an unforgettable experience. I would absolutely recommend the Rich Posmontier Ensemble...best band ever.
…and from the mother of the bride Posted on The Knot October 20, 2014… We had Rich and his band for our daughter's wedding. She was living in Europe and we had the pleasure of selecting the band for her wedding. Rich was incredibly accommodating… our guests, some of whom were from Europe, were in awe at how wonderful they were, and willing to help us infuse some of the groom’s traditional music into their play sets. I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone…

Fantastic band, fantastic value!
All of the reviews I'd read about Rich Posmontier before we hired them were true at my wedding … so I'll throw mine on the pile as well!
How good was Rich?
- So good that he went above and beyond in answering questions and helping talk everyone through the process even before we'd hired him.
- So good that everyone (older relatives included) were up dancing during the first song they played, and the dance floor stayed crowded all night!
- So good that the Father of the Bride, who was skeptical of hiring a band, has since said many, many times that the band was fantastic and "was a good idea." (Consider this the best proof that Rich Posmontier really was great.)
Rich and his band really made it the party we wanted it to be. On top of that, he's as nice, patient, and experienced as they come - a great and easy vendor to work with. We also found him to be much more reasonably priced than bands of a comparable quality. His was one of the best bands we heard, bar none. And yet they were still relatively affordable (at least so far as wedding bands go). I really just can't say enough good things. A true professional!

They responded to our inquiry about their availability immediately and invited us to a showcase. At the showcase, we were able to hear a large selection of their tunes. They demonstrated extreme talent at the showcase- and were even better on our wedding night!...They knew exactly what songs to play in order to keep our guests dancing and having fun…It was truly the best day of our lives- and we have Rich and the band members to thank for making it an absolutely unforgettable experience.

JP and I just got back from our Honeymoon last night, and I just wanted to write a quick note saying THANK YOU to the entire band for making our wedding on January 4th so fun and so memorable... You were such a hit, and made such a great party! And news travels fast - an old acquaintance of mine who is recently engaged reached out to me after the wedding. She heard from one of our wedding guests how amazing your band was, and asked for my opinion since she is currently on the hunt to hire for her own reception. I told her to stop looking and to book you guys as soon as she could!
I can't sing your praises enough. Thank you for making our special day not only wildly fun, but incredibly memorable… anytime I hear of anyone getting married in the Philly area, you better believe I'll be advocating for you! I'd love to get the chance to be a guest at a wedding where you guys are playing!

It would take too long to fully explain how great this band is, so I will make this as concise as possible: The Rich Posmontier Ensemble is the best wedding band I have ever seen. This sentiment was repeated by all 200 of my wedding guests. Our wedding was a great time for a lot of reasons, but both my wife and myself will always be quick to tell people that the band was what our wedding special and fun. It was worth every penny and I would highly recommend getting the full ensemble if you can afford it.

A True Band that will ROCK your Wedding!
Rich is the bandleader and is serious about quality music. Most wedding bands these days have a relatively generic sound, but Mr. Posmontier is clearly selective about his core of musicians and knows how to get a party moving. They know the classics and just as easily rock out to the current pop hits. You can trust him to lead your event so you can enjoy your special day.

Rich worked with me in planning everything and was in touch with our venue to make sure that set up and the schedule for the night went smoothly… The evening went better than imagined... Guests told me that they couldn't believe how they played one song into the next and sounded just like the radio. The musicians and singers are amazing and they got the guests singing right along with them. The dance floor was full the whole night. The Rich Posmontier Ensemble made our wedding extra special and extra memorable. I highly recommend working with this company.

The Rich Posmontier Band hit the ball out of the park at our wedding. We elected to have the 9-piece band (3 vocalists) for dancing and the keys and sax for our cocktail hour and dinner. The musicians are highly talented, the vocalists are very versatile and dynamic, and the business interface (Rich and his business manager) are incredibly responsive and professional. Our guests LOVED our band - people danced all night! The singers sang their hearts out and really gave a super energetic performance all night. The band also learned several new songs…for our first dance parents’ dances, and we were so thrilled with how those tunes turned out, too. Two thumbs up for this band!

Dear Rich (and band),
Thank you so much for playing at our wedding. Everyone had such a great time and raved about the band (and still are!). Thank you for learning the Zac Brown Band song, too. It meant a lot! Looking forward to another great party in July for Brad and Kerry.
Take care, Lauren and Mark

BEST BAND EVER!!!
I first heard Rich Posmontier play at my cousin's wedding, and they were so good we barely looked at other bands. Rich is the consummate professional -- I never had a doubt that he would make the day absolutely fabulous. His musical team is nothing short of extraordinary! My guests danced all night long to a mix of music that ranged from my husband's favorite oldies tunes to some Lady Gaga and everything in between. Rich even worked with my family to surprise me with a song that they prepared in four-part harmony (with a 10-piece band as backup!)…He did a fabulous job of giving me one less thing to worry about…and making the party so much fun I'm still getting compliments on it 6 months later. His rendition of "Jewish rock and roll" was particularly memorable, and the photos of all of our friends and family dancing late into the night are a testament to what a fabulous job he did of running the party! Rich was fabulous from start to finish...You will have a super fun night with Rich leading the charge!!

Unforgettable!
Hands down, best decision we made was to have the Rich Posmontier Ensemble at our wedding. People were dancing before their salads we're served! It was non-stop fun and all of our guests told us how awesome the band was. They were so accommodating and friendly to work with. They even allowed both the groom and the best man to use some of their equipment for special performances they had planned! A+++

Just was playing our wedding song and thought of you. Saw all the comments, etc on your page and had to say thank you. Obviously everyone loved you since I believe one person booked you and another is hoping to! You guys (ladies) made the evening better than we could have ever imagined. I am working on my Bon Jovi lyrics to help out next time.

Review posted on Wedding Wire November 13, 2012
We had the wedding on Friday night, November 9 with the entire 10 piece band and it was totally unbelievable. The dance floor was packed the entire night and there is no doubt that the band was largely responsible for what over 40 phone calls said: they made the wedding unforgettable! People were coming up to us all night and saying they had never, ever, heard a band play like them. They were just over the top!

I cannot tell you how fantastic your band was at Perri and Frank’s wedding November 9, 2012. It is often said that the band makes the wedding and you certainly proved that to be true. The dance floor was packed the entire evening and I can’t even tell you how many guests came up to me and said it was the best band they have ever heard and the most fun they ever had at a wedding. My wife, Cathy, and I give you a heartfelt “thank-you for making our daughter’s wedding the most amazing and wonderful evening that it was. Jeff Dubin, President, E. J. Medical

Thank you for a wonderful evening! All the reviews regarding your band are so true. Our guests raved about the band and said that they have not been to a wedding like ours for a long time. The manager of the Corinthian also shares our opinion. You kept the party going for sure.
We appreciated your professionalism throughout the planning stage. You certainly have your act together. We would not hesitate to recommend you to our friends. Thanks again for a great party!!

FUN, FUN BAND
We hired this band after seeing them at 2 weddings of friends, and by even more recommendations from family friends. They play a wide variety of music, ask for your input, and most importantly, they are experts in getting your guests up and dancing, making for a very fun party! They were great!!

Dear Rich and Ensemble,
We wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed having you play at our wedding. We had an amazing time and were so happy each time we looked out on the dance floor and saw all of our family and friends dancing their hearts out. We’ve lost track of how many people told us how great you guys were. The songs you chose were all perfect and we really appreciate the little things too, like learning “Call Me Maybe" or playing along with the best man’s toast. The party started as soon as you guys began playing and come 11:30, we didn’t want it to end. Thanks for helping to make our day so special!

Rich,
Thank you so much for leading the musical celebration of Lauren and Pat’s wedding on Saturday. I hope you enjoyed it as much as it appears the guests did. We also wanted to thank you for accommodating the two interruptions to your playing – the Mummers and the Air Force serenade. Both were spectacularly received by the guests and we know it caused you to have to adjust – which you did seamlessly.
It really was a great celebration and I’ve only heard rave reviews of the part you played in making it so memorable and special.
Thanks! Mimi (mother of the bride)

Dear Rich and the band,
Thank you so, so much for making our wedding celebration a huge hit! People are still commenting on how amazing the music was and we expect they will for years to come. We had an absolutely fantastic time and had sore dancing feet for most of our honeymoon (always a good problem to have!). At one point during the night we got off the dance floor to greet our guests and literally no one was sitting down. They were simply having too much fun thanks to your wonderful performance! Again, thank you so much for being the highlight of our celebration!

Rich and his band played at our wedding in Philadelphia in June. They were absolutely incredible and the highlight of the evening. From the time we signed with them in December, Rich was in regular contact, providing us with current song lists and acting as a guide to planning our reception, though without being overbearing. On the day of, the band arrived early and was set up well before our ceremony or reception began... a big relief as a stressed bride. Rich acted as a great liaison between us and the hotel staff, making our reception a breeze.
And the music! My god, there are hardly words for the energy and authenticity the band brought to our reception. We got off the dance floor at one point to say hi to guests, and not a single guest of our 140 attendees was sitting. Everyone was up dancing and having a great time the ENTIRE NIGHT. Our wedding coordinator said she had never seen anything like it. The band is also great about learning any songs you may want in your lineup.
Overall, this was the best vendor we worked with for our entire wedding and we recommend them for weddings or other events 100%. They are worth the price and you will not be disappointed!

You and your team exceeded all of our expectations and all of our guests thoroughly enjoyed your music and positive energy. Thank you for making our day so special - it would not be the same without you and your talented band.
We would love to write positive reviews for the band on any websites where you post your ads. Please specify which websites we should go to. I believe we should have some photos of your band members from our photographer. I will send the photos your way as soon as we get them.
Thank you so much.

I just wanted to thank you again for a terrific job last Friday night at Phil and Arlena's wedding. Not to my surprise, the band received a lot of great comments. I never had any doubt or concern that things would run smoothly. That's certainly a credit to you as a great experienced leader.
I gave your phone number to one of our guests who is passing it on to one of her friends. I hope this turns out to be another gig for you and I will continue to refer others to your band.
Thanks for making a special day extra special.

Hi Rich,
Hope things are well with you and the band. We've just returned from our honeymoon, and wanted to write to you to let you know what an incredibly great time we had at our wedding, and much of that is attributed to the energy and professionalism of you and the band. From the time we started talking over a year ago, I had a good feeling, you made it an easy process and of course had the tunes to back it up.
Come wedding day, you guys really delivered beyond what we even thought was possible. We've had so many people mention how great you were, even had a friend ask for you info to recommend to another engaged couple. The energy and interaction was awesome, and having us sing along a bit has proven to be a great piece of video!
Wanted to say thanks again, you made our day what it was, and we appreciate everything you guys brought to our wedding. If you ever need a recommendation, just let us know.
Have a great wedding season!

When we first spoke I remember telling you I wanted everyone up dancing all night – we got just that! Thank you for everything! We could be happier we made the trip to Philly to check you out!

Just a brief note to thank you for the fabulous job. Everyone was up and dancing and raving about the music. Even at the end when we had lost a bunch of people, the band worked their magic and got the remaining folks up and dancing and singing along.
What a night. Everyone was raving about the music.
BTW, I know of one person who is calling you (or may already have called). Howie and Kate's friend who was at wedding loved the band so much that she immediately called her mom and they want to use you for her sister's wedding.
I had one of Kate's teacher friends who told me he had never been to a wedding with live music before and how incredible it was and how much it adds to the wedding. (It was actually very sweet.)
Again many thanks for a foot-blistering good time.

Happy Thanksgiving! I apologize for not writing to you sooner. I wanted you to know that we loved all of the music for our wedding day. The ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, and dancing...it was all amazing. Thank you as well for all of your work the day of with coordinating the schedule. The day ran smoothly and was absolutely perfect. Our guests can not stop talking about how great the band was! We just recently got the pictures back from the photographer and they prove that the dance floor was packed all night long. Our photographer is Michael Smith, owner of Ash Imagery. The "sneak peek" preview of our photos are on his blog at http://ashimagery.com/blog/wedding/sara-rob-married-at-glen-foerd-mansion/ I have seen more photos from him as well showcasing the band with greater detail. Once I get the CD from him I will send you more and I would love for you to share them with the band.
Thank you again for everything! It was great working with you. I found vendor reviews to be so helpful while I was planning my wedding, I look forward to writing one about Rich Posmontier Music!

It's been some time since our wedding, we're approaching our 1 month together...LOL. I've been transitioning to a new job since the wedding, otherwise I would have written you earlier. I just wanted to thank you and your band for putting on an absolute incredible night for our guests. Everyone we've talked to since has absolutely raved about how amazing the music was at our wedding and how much fun they had dancing. It really makes us feel great to hear these compliments; I know there were a few miscommunications, but your band is so incredibly professional that everything went off so seamlessly. Thanks again for accommodating our special requests and allowing my best man to join in with his harmonica for a song. You guys really...really have a wonderful thing going, and we're so happy you were a part of what turned out to be an amazing day.
Thanks again and all the best, Ehren and Karen

Dear Rich & Band:
We've been away since the day after the wedding, but just wanted to shoot you a quick e-mail to say how happy we were with the band and the music. The night never stopped moving, nor did everyone on the dance floor. You and the band really were the icing on the cake. The "wedding" cake that is. Thank you so much for everything. Folks don't know what they're missing without live music, and your band provides the absolute best in that category. Again, all our thanks for making the musical portion of our son and new daughter-in-law's special day so extraordinary.
I attach a blog website from their photographer, Sarah Schulte, who has some sneak peak pics of the wedding on her blog. She mentions your band and that you kept folks on the dance floor all night long. She also gives folks a link to your website. Thought you might like to take a look.

Dear Rich,
Thank you so much for last night. Our guests went nuts for you and I can honestly say that at least 75% of them could not shut up about how amazing you guys are. I am sure the other 25% were too busy dancing to chat with me. I mean it, they were all asking how we found you and were just going on and on. I am sure you get that all the time, but they were truly marveling at you guys. I never thought our wedding would be one with a packed dance floor, as many of our family and friends are quite reserved but...my goodness, it was! Everyone let loose!
Your vocalists are incredibly talented. I could not believe at times how good they were. The song variety, announcing...everything was just perfect. You really know how to run a party. I would not have changed a thing about the music and so appreciate that you learned and performed so well those songs we requested. "Blue Eyes," in particular, was gorgeous and I didn't even like the song when I listened to Elton John sing it (don't tell my mother-in-law)!
Honestly, thank you so, so much. It meant the world to us that our wedding was a fun one and you made it happen.

Before Gabe and I leave for our honeymoon we just wanted to thank you for the wonderful music at our wedding last night...it was unbelievable! From start to finish you had the crowd dancing and just having a great time! So many people told us it was the best music they ever heard at a wedding and consequently we were getting a lot of complaints for sore feet; no one wanted to leave the dance floor! You are such a talented group of people, the vocals and instrumentals were even better than the original! Thank you so much for keeping the party going and making our wedding a truly memorable event, I think it will be hard to top!

THANK YOU from the bottom of our hearts for playing such an amazing set at our wedding. You guys were unbelievable and we fell so lucky to have been able to have you play at our wedding. You truly made the night so memorable.
Every guest has continued to tell us that you were the best band they have ever heard at a wedding (or at any event for that matter).
Thank you for making the trip all the way out East to Montauk [Long Island]. I never had the chance to ask you about the travel time but I hope you didn’t hit too much traffic.
Thank you also for all the songs you learned (Amanda, Empire State of Mind, Bad Romance, etc.) for us!
Have a great summer and we will be recommending you to anyone and everyone who is looking for an amazing band.
Best, Amanda and Ben Schreiner

I wanted to thank you again for the AMAZING job the band did at our wedding this past Saturday. I think every guest commented on how excellent the music was. You kept people dancing all evening, and you got all the little details (the names of the bridal party, my grandmother's happy birthday, etc) right. We really could not have asked for a more talented group of musicians or a more professional job coordinating the flow of the evening. I also wanted to thank you for learning "This Is the First Day of My Life" on such short notice. It's one of my favorite songs.
I hope you pass our heartfelt appreciation on to the band members.
Best wishes, Kate

Hello Rich and the gang!
Thank you so much for making it out to our wedding on the 19th! Even with the miserable weather you made the wedding a dream of a lifetime! The band was the best part of our day. From the beginning to the end, everyone raved what an amazing band you guys are! We were so excited to see the dance floor packed the whole evening- everyone, even our 87 year old grandma and 90 year old grandpa were dancing the night away to fantastic music and voices:) I am so glad that I found you guys on the Internet and will make sure that anyone I know having a wedding or party includes your band in their decisions. Thank you is an understatement, you really made our wedding a fantastic event and are truly happy that you were able to make it safely downtown in that weather- a wedding everyone will NEVER forget!!! Hope that you all made it home safely! Phil and I and our families hope you all had a wonderful Holiday and our best wishes to you guys in the New Year! I am sorry I could not find out how to post this on your website, please do, so anyone and EVERYONE knows that you guys ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks again-Phil & Jackie Spinosa

Dear Rich:
I am sorry it took so much time to comment formally on the Band’s appearance and performance at my daughter, Jacqueline’s, wedding. The first thing that comes to mind is the commitment that you and your band members made on such a terrible day of weather on December 19th. I believe the experts said it was one of the worst snowstorms in December in over 40 years. Obviously, Jackie, my wife and I were very concerned early in the morning on the day of the wedding, wondering if this wedding for 330 people was going to come off. I guess Jackie, Phil, my wife and I have true friends and family because the attrition rate was normal. But you guys made the wedding. The quality of your performance and appearance was excellent. Over the past two weeks people have been calling us or commenting in person on how impressed they were with your group. Many said it was the best wedding they have been to and much of it is attributed to your band. Many commented that when they have their next big event (wedding or otherwise) your band would be their choice. So, in conclusion and summary:
1. Tremendous commitment in making sure you were all there in a terrible storm.
2. Experience and courtesy was evident in the communication and dialogue in the time leading up to the wedding.
3. Excellent talent, performance and presentation.
4. Patience and professionalism in working with us in arranging the sequence of events for the evening.
5. You kept people on the dance floor all evening.
Thank you and if you ever need a personal reference please feel free to call me.

Hi Rich,
I'm just now getting around to following up with you. I wanted to let you know how amazing we thought the band was! I've heard nothing but wonderful things about you guys from our guests. We were thrilled with the vibe in the room and the dancing all night. Please pass along our thanks to everyone.
One quick question... do you have a list of the songs you played that night? If so, I'd really love to have a copy.
Thank you! Lauren (and Vic)

Rich and everyone,
Thank you so much for making our wedding reception the best night of our lives! It’s been almost two months since the big night and people are still talking about the band! People needed days to recover from how much dancing they did. And we include ourselves in that. You guys brought the house down, and we will never forget how amazing you guys were! Thank you for everything!
Best wishes, Bridget and Billy

Rich,
We can't thank you enough for the amazing job you and your band did on Saturday night. We couldn't have asked for more! Everyone thought you were fabulous and the music really helped set the tone for the night. The combination of band and DJ was seamless and the dancers brought such energy to the dance floor. You were a pleasure to work with and I am already looking forward to our next party.
Thanks again, Beth and Jeff Lustig

Dear Rich and band,
I would like to begin by saying to you and the entire band: Thank you & GREAT JOB! Everything was FANTASTIC and the evening entertainment was truly IMPRESSIVE. When Lauren and I first listened to you play some of your sample music at your practice studio we were simply amazed at the vocal and musical talent you all possessed. We did several on-line searches across countless DJs and bands, but yours was the only band we went to preview and, after that meeting, we agreed that there was no one else that could perform as you did. Lauren and I were blown away by the INCREDIBLE performance you put on at our wedding on September 19th.
Throughout the entire reception we never encountered a dull moment in the dining and dancing music entertainment. That was the main focus that you conveyed to me right away in your performance. I remember right after the salad was served that the band began playing and the entire room just got up and started dancing. Right away I looked at the dance floor and it was packed with all our family and friends. It wasn’t like slowly, one by one, the couples got to the dance floor; it just happened so quickly, everyone headed right for the floor. That brought the biggest smile to my face and I thank you all. All of our family and friends had a wonderful time and were impressed by the band.
I also want to thank you for making Lauren’s surprise trip announcement to Aruba a joyous memory she’ll never forget. It was the perfect way to tell her and she can’t stop telling everyone about it. Again, thank you for all the great assistance you have provided to us both during this year. You gave the greatest performance and we will definitely recommend you to all our family and friends.
With much appreciation, Lauren and Ben Eagens

Rich,
Many thanks to you and everyone in the band for the wonderful music at the reception. As you saw, the dance floor was full all night long. Everyone said such nice things about the music. And the salsa music and the songs en español were a great idea!!!
Special thanks for arranging for a microphone to appear in front of me for the toast. This made it so much easier for me to read from my script!
In short, we had a fabulous time at the reception, in large part because of your wonderful music and the talented musicians who were there with us.
All best, Allison Dodge (mother of the bride)

Hi Rich,
I wanted to get in touch and let you know that you all did an excellent job at our wedding this past weekend! Everyone had so much fun dancing and the energy at the end of the night was great. Having you and the band there made the night so much fun and you did an awesome job learning our first dance song and the father/daughter dance song. All of the band members have great talent and energy and thanks again for helping make our night even more memorable!
Best, Megan

Dear Rich,
Even though we’ve seen you a number of times at other events, you exceeded our expectations and even out did yourself this past Saturday at our daughter’s wedding at The Franklin Institute.You were a pleasure to work with during the planning. The music at the ceremony was perfect and adding the bass at the cocktail hour really added depth to the sound. The dinner/reception was outstanding with a softer sound during the meal and you really knew when to crank it up. The additional horn was more than worth the cost and everyone kept repeating how great the band was. My only complaint was how sore my feet were the next morning from all of the dancing. You are the best!

Dear Rich and Ensemble,
Just a little note to say thank you so much for making our wedding unforgettable! Every guest to whom we’ve spoken after the wedding has said our band was awesome/fantastic/incredible. At many points there were more people on the dance floor than off, even in humid weather, which says a lot about your immense talent as a group. We will always remember how you made our day so special, particularly our first dance to “You are the Best Thing" by Ray LaMontagne. Thank you!
Sincerely, C.B. and Colleen Ciullo

Dear Rich,
Sorry for the lateness of this note, but Wade and I wanted to thank you for the incredible party you created for us! I know everyone enjoyed the music as they danced the entire night away. You guys did such an amazing job with Wade and my first dance (and were right as everyone came to join us on the dance floor at the end of the song) and my dad and my first dance. They were perfect.
The flow of the might was as seamless and smooth as we could have hoped (despite the mud everywhere!) and I am so glad you and Nancy were able to work together. You were enjoyable and easy to work with and we knew without hesitation that our wedding guests were going to have a fun night. We also loved when you played "Come Together" during our high school photo. That’s definitely something we remember as we look back on the haze of the excitement of the night. Thank you also for allowing my cousin to do his ritual “Rapper’s Delight." Many thanks for all of your hard work (and your band’s) and for making our wedding so memorable!
Regards, Emily and Wade

We just wanted to thank you for performing at our wedding! The music was incredible - all of our guests had such an amazing time! You were great at getting everyone out on the dance floor and keeping them there all night. We don't think our guests wanted the evening to end and we were happy to extend the party to dance more to your top notch band. We would highly recommend you to anyone who asks for a referral. Thank you again for making our day so special.

Dear Rich,
I had all intentions of sending a handwritten note (which is more personal) but decided to send this email instead so that I can fit everything I want to say in this email.
Thank you and your band for being a major contributor to the success of our daughter Rachel's wedding. From the pre ceremony music, to the wedding processional and then to the reception, everything was wonderful. I appreciate your professionalism and the time you and Sharon spent in talking with us to insure that the music and wedding reflected Rachel and Dave. As you know, we believe that a band can make or break a party - and you certainly made Rachel and Dave's wedding musically fantastic! The dance floor was packed and your song sets were great. I also think that the flow of the night was amazing - but went too quickly.
We also appreciate the songs that you learned for the wedding, especially "You Can Call Me Al". Allan and his Uncle Al really enjoyed that one!
Rich, we do not have any more children but hope that our recommendations lead to us being at another affair where you and your band will play. Please do not hesitate to use as a reference as we highly recommend the Rich Posmontier Ensemble.
Thanks, Andrea and Allan Papsin (parents of the bride)

Dear Rich,
You and your team were fabulous Saturday night. I cannot begin to thank you enough for all you did to make it such a wonderful party for everyone there. I know how much Emily and Wade appreciated all the new songs your learned for them especially the ones for their special dances.
Please know the peace of mind I had knowing that you were there, that you knew the drill, and had it all under control.
Thanks also for connecting with Nancy…I didn’t worry for one moment!
I know this must be an especially busy time for you, I hope you will have some time to rest and relax this summer.
My sincere thanks once again…3 down and 2 to go!
Fondly, Sally (mother of the bride)
P.S. Please pass this thanks on to your band!

Rich,
This is our third family wedding your band has performed at and as usual the dance floor was packed all night. I can't tell you how many guests came up to my husband and myself and asked for your name and number. The music makes the wedding and you always provide the best entertainment. We know we will be attending many more family weddings with your band performing and making the event even more special.
Alison and Tom put a lot of thought into the song list and I appreciate your cooperation and patience with them. I think the highlight of Tom's night was joining you all on stage and singing. He was in his element.
Thank you, Michele Schuster (mother of the bride)

Over a year later, people are still talking about how awesome the band was and how it was the best band they have ever heard. It was truly incredible that during most of our reception almost every single person in attendance was on the dance floor!

Harry and I would like to extend our thanks and praise for your band's unbelievable performance on the night of our wedding. Our friends and family are still talking about the dancing and the range of music you covered that night. I only wish we could have another party as spectacular as that one so we could relive the dancing and tunes all over again. You're on my highly recommended list and can't wait to start spreading the word to those who weren't at the affair.
The best of luck to The Rich Posmontier Ensemble!

Hi Rich,
Didn't get a chance to talk to you much Friday night at Beth's wedding (I was too busy dancing!), but wanted to be sure to let you know again how much EVERYONE enjoyed the band!!! I know you must hear this all the time, but you guys truly made the evening "extraordinary." I personally think the band is probably the most important element of the reception...and was fortunate that my ex-husband left that job to me, because I knew who I wanted from the time I had heard you all four years ago! Plus, working with you is an absolute pleasure...you were more than happy to do whatever Beth requested. Please thank the entire band for us for making it a truly fun, wonderful evening.
