Country Club Event•Reviewed on August 23, 2008•From Goshen, CT
Our Country Club's 1st Annual Special Membership Recognition and Appreciation Dinner Dance was a huge success largely in part by Jerry Constanzo's Band. With such a diverse membership, ranging in ages 20 - 96, we needed a band that would be able to "feel the essence" of the evening and be spontaneous and accommodating. The Jerry Constanzo band did just that. They were highly professional and entertaining. Our members were extremely happy. We would definitely welcome them back!

Jerry and his band were exactly what we had dreamed about for our wedding. His voice is excellent and he has a variety of options for ensemble sizes. We had a wonderful American Songbook evening with some mixed dance thrown in for fun. I would highly recommend Jerry because he really listens to what you want and like, and does a great job. We had many compliments on his band from our wedding guests.

From beginning to end, I found Jerry very approachable and accommodating. He was quite flexible with the plans for our event, which seemed to change like the wind. With respect to the event itself, everything worked effortlessly... they arrived promptly, set-up with minimal fluff and then performed better than expected. The mix of instrumentals and vocals was quite right, and the blending of holiday tunes was perfect. Though I am not an expert in things musical, I was impressed with the quality of the sound - seemed like something you'd find in a high-quality niteclub in New York. The band agreed to play longer than for what we'd agreed and did so quite happily. All in all, these guys are great, and I recommend them highly.
Anniversary Party•Reviewed on November 11, 2006•From Huntington, NY
WOW!! I gave a 60th Anniversary party to my parents, and many guests were in their 80's. I also invited their children, and grandchildren, and there were times when almost every person in the room was up dancing!! To see people in their 80's and 40's and 20's dancing side by side and laughing and smiling was fantastic! The owner of the banquet hall heard the band and came down to our room to ask me who was this band, and how could he contact them! Every guest asked me where we found this 17-piece Big Band. Jerry Costanzo transcends generations. Grandchildren were asking their grandparents to dance! I saw guests with tears in their eyes many times during the evening. This Big Band was professional, talented, and Jerry makes eye-contact while he's singing and is very charming. I have sailed on the QE2 and on the new QM2 cruise lines, as have many of the guests, and Jerry Costanzo's Big Band tops every band we have ever heard! They have my highest recommendation.

What can I say about Jerry and his band? True perfection! I can actually give them all the credit for the success of my Mom & Dad's Surprise 50th Wedding Anniversary party! The smiles on their faces said it all and it was all because of you and the band. They didn't sit down all night! I've never seen them so excited in all my life!
Jerry it was my pleasure working with you and your band. You all knew exactly what I was looking for. You were all so accommodating and you nailed every detail. You guys were great! Before my parents actually saw you and the band they thought they were hearing a record that's how good you sounded! I loved your passion and your enthusiasm. I can tell you all really love what you do! You couldn't have done anything better, it was absolute perfection! This day will always be remembered by me and my parents as the very best day of our lives and I truly mean it.
The anniversary party may be over but you have won the hearts of me and my family forever. I can never thank you enough for making my Parents' 50th Anniversary Party so very special.
Many thanks to you all,
Janie

Jerry was great. He performed some songs that were not really his style and did them very well. He accomodated all special requests, was prompt, polite, everyone was very talented.

Jerry,
Thank you so much for being a part of our special day! From the moment Jim and I heard your voice on the demo, "It had to be you ;-)", we knew no one else would do. We were hooked! Your quick response to our request indicates that your professionalism is second to none. You were the perfect compliment to the atmosphere we were trying to create, and you helped us exceed our expectations of what a perfect wedding could be! Your band was just as professional as yourself, and a pleasure to meet and listen to!
All of our guests, both young and old, were extremely impressed with your voice and realism to the original soundtracks and your interactions with them made everyone feel very comfortable and relaxed.
Jim and I feel that Gigmasters is just the starting point for a true entertainer as yourself! We look forward to hosting another event where you will definitely be invited to perform.
With regards, Jim and Kathi
PS A number of couples that were at our party are now taking dance lessions because of your style of music!

We couldn't have been happier with Jerry & his group.
We hired Jerry for our wedding and he was accomidating when it came to a specific play list and even a recorded music playlist for the brief moments when the band stopped for a break.
For our wedding we wanted Jerry to be low-key; we wanted a musician not an emcee, and that's exactly what he gave us!
As far as the abbilities... The band was top notch, all that you would expect from professional musicians, and Jerry..... well, he's smooth and on it all the time, in our opinion he's the best around.
If you like jazz & swing, definitely check out Jerry & his band!
