“”Thank you” isn’t enough to express our gratitude for the amazing performance you gave last Saturday at our wedding. The day as a whole exceeded our dreams, and the music was the perfect mix of older society, rock and roll, and today’s hits. J and I went to 13 weddings last year and not one of them had everyone on the dance floor the way you did. It was perfect.”
“Thank you again, from the bottom of our hearts. It was so special to have you there.”
“This event in particular was incredible and simply would just not have been nearly as memorable without you. Congratulations and thank you again for everything you did personally to create such a special event for the family. We look forward to future collaborations and new opportunities to work together.”
“L & and I are still tapping our toes remembering your wonderful music and the 29th and I know our guests had as much fun as we did. We have received so many notes and every single one mentioned you!”
“You and your team really made the party. Thank you so much for making it all happen.”
“Everyone is raving over your music. I danced and danced and thoroughly enjoyed myself as did everyone else. Super super music! Thank you so much.”
“To have the Bob Hardwick Sound and his brilliant orchestra create such a fantastic, fun, energy filled evening was a gift in itself. Many guests commented the music was the best ever. You are the best for a reason and you deserve the accolades bestowed upon the extraordinary evening of 8/8.”
“What wonderful musical entertainment you and your associates provided to celebrate my big birthday. Old and young told me they danced more than they have in years (and many stayed well past their normal bed time). Thank you for helping make it an evening I shall always remember.”
“Thank you for providing the most wonderful music we could have imagined at our daughter A’s wedding in WH.”
“You did such a masterful adaptation of the beautiful and interesting music from Viva La Vida, November Rain, Mirrors, and Paradise and created the most special music for A and AJ’s wedding ceremony. It is something that no one will ever forget. The string trio was wonderful and together you created a magical moment. Your orchestra at the reception was fabulous and because you never stopped playing all our guests never stopped dancing! You are a truly gifted artist.”
“The evening will be a lasting memory. K and I have received so many notes and everyone raves about Bob and the music.”
“Bob-you out did yourself if that is even possible!! Everyone is saying that was our best night ever with your music.”

“Again, another splendid wedding! Your music was sensational as always.”
“Thank you again for making our wedding celebration so very perfect! It was everything we dreamed of and so much more.”
“Memphis is “Hooked on Hardwick”, Bob. Our evening was everything I wanted it to be and you made it so.””
“The Bob Hardwick Sound added a great deal to the success of K&J’s wedding. A number of guests have told us that they have not danced so much for a long time!”
“Thank you for helping make M&A’s day so special. You were a pleasure to work with and we hope we can work with you again in the future.”
“Thank you again for the fantastic job your band did at C’s wedding. Everyone from 18 to 86 is raving about the music. It was everything we knew it would be.”

“Everyone at Maidstone is still talking about what is now known as “The Bob Hardwick Party”. Truly – You were so incredible, energetic and terrific – Thank you so much.”
“C and I loved every minute of seeing you and hearing your great music – the River Valley has never seemed so happy!”
“You always really make a party and everybody commented on how wonderful it was to have you there.”
“You and your wonderful guys kept us going and thrilled the birthday girl to her very core. Thank you for being there. A party without you just couldn’t be, and we are looking forward to many more.”

“A huge thank you to you and your amazing band for performing at our wedding up in Vermont. Our guests danced their hearts out and raved about the music and the band. Your energy was definitely infectious! We loved every minute of it. Thank you for making it such a special evening for us.”
“Thank you for making the Valentine’s Ball a smashing success. I have heard nothing but rave reviews about your music, the vocalists and the tunes. Next time, we’ll try to make sure it doesn’t go on until the wee hours!”
“What a wonderful wedding reception you gave us on Oct 26th. Thank you so much for the perfect music-all our guests are still raving about you!. None of us can remember when we’ve had such a good time all thanks to you and your band!”
“…in a sea of pretenders, Bob, we have finally found the real thing and that my friend is you-a true genuine talent who not only plays our music, but had my 19 and 24 year olds saying it was the first genuine pop and rock we’ve had at this party. As my kids said, you are awesome.”
“Bob, I have always said you are the best dance orchestra and now after seeing your three Big Apple Pops Summer Picnic Pops concerts, those were truly the best I have seen in our entire 19 year series-and that includes The Boston Pops.”
“Your band played the most danceable two-step and swing (and the Viennese waltzes I asked for!), and your Latin contingent a la Tito was electric. …the 20, 30 and 40 year olds were rocking out and wouldn’t have gone home ’till dawn if the party hadn’t been closed down at 2:00AM.”
“You have done this debutante party every year because you really play the crowd and the hits that these kids relate to like nobody else.”
“Bob, you must already know your orchestra is one of the best in the world, and I want every one of your musicians to know what an incredible job they all did. You are without question the best!”
“…because as you saw, when you moved into the rock, the party took off into another place-like nothing I’ve seen. You got to us with the swing and Motown, but the 70’s-90’s and today’s hits? You’ve got to be kidding. How the heck do you serve two masters? It was amazing!”
“Hardwick, you are one of the only orchestra guys who can really play my kids’ stuff. You know I wanted you but I stayed out of my daughter’s decision. Not only has she chosen you, but all of her friends want you too.”
“I never seriously considered anybody but you. I know you grew up with traditional two-step and you really nail it, but obviously you spent a lot of time listening to rock and jazz. You clearly understand it and love it – and it shows.”
“When you play, I’m always on the dance floor. I can’t sit down. Your rhythm is totally irresistible even though I’m exhausted at the end of the evening! You are quite simply the best and in a class by yourself.”
