Review by Jason B.

Wedding•Reviewed on July 15, 2007•From Tarrytown, NY

Our wedding day was absolutely perfect and BD Lenz' band played an integral part! They are an exceptionally talented, detail-oriented, highly professional group. BD himself was an absolute pleasure with whom to work-- all of my communication throughout the process was with him directly, and he really listened to our unique needs and surpassed every expectation! BD's music earned countless compliments from our guests. Were we to do it all over again, there's no one we'd rather have than BD Lenz-- the fond memories of that day, which they helped to create, are ones that will last us a lifetime!

b.d. and his ensemble arrived early and were set up well before our event began. They were professional, performed beautifully. They mixed up their music selections well. We had requested that they come prepared to do a set of hora music lasting about 18 to 20 minutes which they did with great spirit. When anyone asked them to modify their music either by tone or actually, any request, was met with a smile and totally implemented. We could not have been happier with our selection of musicians and we could not recommend bd any higher or more enthusiastically. Anyone who books his group will be equally pleased.

B.D. was a pleasure to work with. I hired his group for a corporate event and they knew exactly how to handle it. They were very professional, talented, and delightful people. I would highly recommend B.D. and his group for any event.

BdLenz were wonderful, accommodating, timely and professional. Thanks for a wonderful evening. BDLenz read the crowd well. Our group was tame; but I imagine this group could have provided a more funky sound if needed. We needed background jazz music... and they were perfect! Would definately hire you again. Thank you.

It isn't often that someone recieves a perfect rating, especially from someone like me. I have been in the hospitality industry off and on for about 13 years, and in that time I have worked 50-60 weddings. That being said, I feel very confident in saying that BD Lenz and his crew were by far the best that I have seen. They are all extremely talented musicians and very versitile as well. For the cocktail hour they excecuted a perfect jazz set that matched the mood. During the reception, they cranked it up with tunes ranging from classic rock to hard funk. As for all of you out there still in question, the band worked the room, pleasing the masses with ages ranging from 5 to 89. I have to say that I could not have been happier with these guys. In respect to accommodating, they were incredible. Now I'm sure they wanted to kill me, they were actually able arranged the father/daughter and mother/son dance with one weeks notice. This is a very professional crew and if you want to have a band that can do it all, check out B.D. Lenz, because through my experience, they are simply unparalleled.

There performance was great, their professionalism was exceptional. We would highly recomnend them, and, if the need arose, we wouldn't hesitate to have them perform for us again. Thanks to you, gigmasters, for making the task of finding the right group for our business event easy and hassle-free! Paula Rudmann

Wedding•Reviewed on September 30, 2006•From Winsted, CT

Hi, When my husband and I hired B.D Lenz for our wedding reception, we had hoped they would be a good band, what we got was an outstanding group of very talented musicians. The level of professionalism was beyond our expectations. We had asked them to learn music from a favorite jazz artist, (cellar funk) and they exceded our expectations again in learning these difficult pieces. Our guests are still talking about the awesome group we had play at our wedding. B.D. Lenz is both sophisticated and fun, his band had the whole party jumpin' all night. We plan on calling him again... and again for up-comming events. I would highly recommend this band for those of you who appriciate great jazz fusion and/or instrumental music. Sincerely, Mr. and Mrs. C.R. Hull

Wedding•Reviewed on April 29, 2006•From Jersey City, NJ

BD Lenz was probably the most organized vendor I used for my wedding and his professionalism was incredible. I felt 100% comfortable with him from the first time we spoke on the phone and he didn't just live up to my expectations, he blew them out of the water. BD played in a HUGE venue with 90 foot ceilings and 260 guests and had EVERYONE, young and old, dancing the whole night. The first comment I heard after the wedding (on the way home) was how great the band was and the comments still haven't stopped. Someone told me that the band wasn't just the best wedding band they had ever heard, but that it was the best live performance of music they had ever heard. It was an allstar cast of musicians personally picked by BD and the chemisty was unreal. I put so much effort into planning my wedding and I wasn't disappointed by anything. The venue was incredible, the food was out of this world, but BD Lenz and his band were absolutely the highlight of the night. I can't say enough about how happy we were and honestly, how humbled we were that musicians who are that obviously gifted played at our wedding and made sure that all of our guests had an unforgettable night.

B.D.Lenz made my husband's 40th birthday party spectacular. They were very professional and their music is wonderful. Everyone enjoyed themselves very much. We were having so much fun, we asked them to stay an additional hour. I would highly recommend them for any event and I would hire them again for any future parties.

Private Party•Reviewed on December 11, 2004•From Martinsburg, WV

BD and his crew did fantastic work at my event. My event was the 2004 Christmas party for a medical society, whos participants are physicians and range in age from 30's to 80's. The group's social events typically focuses on the older physicians and pays little attention to the younger doctors. I hired BD to satisfy the older doctors knowing he could get the younger doctors to get into the fun. BD and his band not only got the older ones on their feet but pretty much all of the younger ones. As a matter of fact as the bar tab approached its budgeted limit for the event, I being president and seeing how much fun the doctors were having because of BD and his band, allowed the bar tab to remain open. Though I had never met or heard of BD Lenz and his band in person, I did my research on Gigmasters and some back up research over the net. I and all the physicians would have to say we got more than our moneys worth with BD Lenz. I gave very little in the way of instructions to BD other than to keep an eye on the crowd knowing full and well that as the musical professional he is, he will know how to get them into the party. BD and his band have CD's for sale. They did not advertise them for sale but Dr. Rosie told me she bought 2 their latest albums so she can remember how much fun she had. BD, thank you for making my event memorable and Gigmasters, thank you for your services in helping me find a fantastic band such as BD Lenz. With utmost sincerity, Christopher S.

B.D. and the band played for our wedding on October 2, 2004. They were wonderful. Many people commented on how talented they were and the manager at our reception hall asked me how I found them! They were true professionals and didn't blink an eye to learn a new song for our first dance. The band even handled a surprise special request by our Best Man to play Good Loving during his speech. I totally recommend B.D. and the band! Amy Donlon

We hired BD Lenz and 4 of his bandmates to perform at our wedding at the Mercer Museum in Doylestown, PA. The night was memorable and BD provided the perfect soundtrack. From rehearsing our first dance with us to keeping our guests dancing late into the night, BD and band were true and talented professionals. We recommend them without reservation.
