Bill arrived early to set up and was professional dealing with us and our guests. He is truly talented with his voice, guitar playing, and overall ability to interact with a crowd. He made our party the "event" of the year in our circle of friends. I would rate him a 5+ if I could.

Bill was outstanding, extremely accommondating and the music was perfect. He was a big hit with the guests since he has a great reputation in the area.
Bill was very prompt replying to our initial request and following up each time as we continued to do final coordination. I wouldn't look anywhere else in the future, I would go right back to Bill for all my future events.
A big thanks to both Gigmasters and Bill.

Wedding•Reviewed on October 28, 2006•From Columbus, OH
From the first contact, we had a great experience with Bill Foley and the Bill Foley Band. He was prompt, professional, and upfront with everything. Further, he provided a questionnaire covering many of the little details I didn't think about, and offered many suggestions to make the reception fun for everyone. At the reception, I didn't have any worries other than having fun, since Bill handled all the MC activities for the evening and kept things flowing. He checked in with the bride and me multiple times during the evening to make sure we and the guests were happy with everything. All the guests raved about how good the band was and how much fun everyone was having. We couldn't have been happier with our choice to use Bill Foley and the Bill Foley Band and would recommend that others use them as well.

Restaurant Event•Reviewed on October 7, 2006•From Grove City, OH
Bill was exteremly accomodating and flexible. Beulah Park is a Thoroughbred race track, which since music can distract/spook horses, this was a tentative venture. Bill was able to integrate beautifully when the horses were not on the track, and had a high level of attention to detail to not play when they were. That's no easy task.
It worked out great! Our patrons loved it, and Bill really added to the ambiance of a beautiful autumn afternoon.
He arrived early, stayed late and enjoyed the day with us, as much as we enjoyed having him.
Bill was exactly what I needed, and he delivered on all fronts. I look forward to working with him many times in the future and will recommend him for our wedding clients who marry in our paddocks during the summer.

The Bill Foley Band is every bit as good as advertised on this site. Bill works with you down to the last detail to ensure a worry-free event. The mix of music was great we've gotten many compliments on the band selection since then. Thanks Bill and guys, you rock.

The Bill Foley Band was OUTSTANDING!!! We were overly impressed with everything about the band. There was not one person at the wedding that didn't enjoy the music and most told us how great it made the evening. The music selection was excellent, people were dancing and having a wonderful time. Not too soft, not too loud, just right. To Jesus be ALL of the glory. Thanks Bill!!

Community Event•Reviewed on September 2, 2006•From Seneca Rocks, WV
If you were to close your eyes during the performance, you could easily believe it was John Denver, Jim Croce, James Taylor or any one of the original performers themselves. As a bonus his warm and uplifting personality won over the crowd before he even sang his first song. We will not be surprised to see this mans name in Marque lights someday soon. We hope to have the pleasure to sponsor Bill Foley again soon. Jim and Sandy Young, Seneca Rocks Natural Living Retreat...

Wedding•Reviewed on August 5, 2006•From Ashland, OH
From the initial contact with Bill when we were trying to pick a band for the wedding reception, he was professional, courteous and accommodating. I'm a musician so I wanted to make sure the band that we picked would please the bride (my daughter) as well as the many other musicians that would be guests at the wedding. Bill and his band's talent blew us all away. The comments that we still have coming in through e-mail (today is Aug 30 and the wedding was August 5th)all say the same three things..1.Beautiful Wedding, 2.Bride and Groom are such a great couple, and 3. THE BAND WAS AWESOME!!!
The covers of James Taylor, America, Pure Prarie League, John Denver, Loggins and Messina, and yes EVEN Lynyrd Skynyrd, were "CD QUALITY".
Thanks to Bill Foley and his band for making the wedding reception extra special!

Bill Foley made what could have been a difficult evening wonderful!
He was able to combine two very different sides of families at a wedding and play music that brought everyone together. He recognized the diverse nature of the crowd and catered to what they were responding to. His professionalism and work ethic are second to none. I highly recommend him and will book him again if another event arises. The entire transaction was stress-free and it was one less thing to worry about during wedding planning.

Anniversary Party•Reviewed on January 27, 2006•From Columbus, OH
My husband and I are both professional musicians, so I know what I'm talking about when I say that these guys are first-rate! We hired them for my mother's 60th birthday Sock Hop and it was a perfect fit. Not only did they know songs from the 50s - 60s era, but when we played music trivia, it was apparent that they are well versed with music of all recent genres and periods. They all are very talented musicians, but taking it a step above that - they are excellent performers and entertainers as well - not to mention a friendly bunch!
There were several things, that night, that I wanted to be just right, and Bill and his band were all very accommodating with everything, from the moment my mother walked in and we yelled, "Surprise," to the last dance of the evening - and beyond. Their professionalism is superb. I highly recommend Bill Foley and the Bill Foley Band for your special event. I believe they will do everything possible to help make it all you want it to be. Thanks Bill.

Bill did a wonderful job! From my first contact with him he impressed me with a level of professionalism that you don't often find in entertainers. His performance was outstanding! He paid attention to the presenters at our event and used that information to make personalize his performance to our staff. I have received glowing comments from everyone about our event, and everyone credited the excellent entertainment. Bill is not just a musician, he is a true performer!

Wedding•Reviewed on December 10, 2005•From Jackson, OH
I would highly recommend Bill Foley for any occasion. He was very accomodating in every way. He was dressed appropriately, his actions and mannerisms were appropriate. He announced the wedding party and did everything in his power to make our daughter's wedding the night of her life. Because of his knowledge in the field of entertainment I did not have to worry about a thing after making a list of the songs that were to be played for the special dances. He was not too loud and not too soft. The music he played and sang on his guitar as the guests ate their dinner was absolutely wonderful. He played a very big part in making our daughter's night perfect. I could not thank him enough. Lynn Starkey

From start to finish, Bill Foley made our reception easy, fun, but more so enjoyable for everyone there. There wasn't one person who didn't thank us for bringing Bill in. He provided the right mix of soft, upbeat, romantic, music from all decades and genres. He gave us direction on the format of the reception and did a great job MC the event. We wouldn't recommend anyone else, and in fact if we know he is going to be at your wedding or reception we just might sneak in to hear him again!!
Thanks for all your help.

Bill and the band were outstanding! We had people dancing all night long. The sound system was perfect and the mix of music that Bill played appealed to everyone. Bill couldn't have been more accommodating. He made announcements for us, talked to the crowd and handled special requests. He and the band made our party the best one yet! We hope to be able to have him back next year.
For great entertainment, I highly recommend Bill Foley and the Bill Foley Band.
