Here are some very kind words from past clients of The Music Man (all originals available for viewing on request):

Wedding of Gabbie and Bram Milne-Rodriguez:

"We first made contact with Alan Duval when planning for our wedding day celebrations.

We wanted a spectacular, enjoyable and memorable day and decided we required music to add dimension and to compliment our vision.

What we finished up with exceeded our wildest dreams and was nothing short of magnificent.

We quickly developed a productive working relationship with Alan and through his exceptional listening and communication skills Alan was able to capture our vision for both the ceremony and reception and further enhance it by offering enthusiastic, informative and 'spot on' music choices.

We found Alan's style to be warm, friendly and professional. His passionate knowledge and love of music enabled him to compose the perfect music choice, reflecting our unique wedding style and for the enjoyment of all our guests.

Alan did an excellent job and we would highly recommend him for any event that requires a touch of music magic."
- Gabbie & Bram Milne-Rodgriguez (October 20, 2007)

[This testimonial refers in part to the work I did for Gabbie and Bram helping them find the music for their ceremony - keep an eye out for details on my Music/Theming Consultation service - coming soon.]

Wedding of Heather and Patrick Deehan:

"When we first filled out the [Questionnaire] about our music likes and dislikes we thought, we are so busy sorting out the final details of our wedding, is this really necessary? YES IT IS! The music on the night was perfect. All of the songs we wanted to hear were played and everyone had a great time.
Thank you for taking the time to find out what we wanted to hear. We recommend you and will use you again."
- Heather & Patrick Deehan (April 29, 2007)

[The father/daughter dance was actually chosen from the personalised play list I created for Heather & Patrick, based on their questionnaire - Heather emailed the list to her father and he chose Kenny Rogers 'You Decorated My Life'.]

40th Birthday for Aaron Ansell:

"Thank you so much for the “OUTSTANDING JOB” on Saturday night you just worked your Music Magic!!"
Aaron Ansell (January 5, 2008)

[It is worth noting that the phrase "music magic" was coined independently in two of the testimonials above and is not a phrase I have used in any of my advertising or forms - I quite like it though... I'll have to figure out a way to work it in. - Alan Duval (13/02/2008)]
