Review by Sam R.

Wedding•Reviewed on May 7, 2005•From Mount Sterling, KY

Bill Foley's performance at my wedding reception last night was fanatastic. His setup was flawless and did an excellent job MCing the evening. His musical talent and ability to play the music that was right for the crowd was perfect. Not soul at the wedding didn't have a great time and only those that weren't physically able didn't dance. Many, many guests raved to my wife and I about the music. I would recommend Bill to anyone that is looking for an entertainer and if I ever need a band again I would definitely hire him again.

All of our residents were asking him when he would be back! He was wonderful and we already plan to use him for another event we have this summer.

The Bill Foley Band was very professional concerning our event. They communicated with us to draw out all details including payment, appropriate dress, appropriate play list, etc. They were on time and delivered a fantastic performance! Definitely would do business with them again!

Bill was great! Our all-employee function was 90% construction guys and they loved Bill and his music. He sang songs everyone knew and I saw many singing along. I will use Bill again and would recommend him to anyone wanting top notch talent. Best regards, Sheri

Club Event•Reviewed on February 25, 2007•From Fostoria, OH

Bill sang by himself at our V F W club and i really injoyed him and his music. A few of the older womem who wanted to fast dance all night couldn't do so as much, but everyone else thought he was great.I'd love to hear his band but we just couldn't afford them at the V F W club. Commander Dennis Smith

:

There were two woman that wanted to country line dance all night long. All others in the audience loved the choices of fast and slow songs played. They gave many compliments. In addition, this client received a substantial discount due to being a veterans' organization.

Wedding•Reviewed on November 3, 2007•From Canton, OH

The Bill Foley Band was excellent, everyone loved them and they sounded great. They communicated very well with us via email before the wedding to finalizing the details. However there was an issue on the day of event. We had an arranged spot for them to be, instead, they set up on the dance floor and took up much of our limited space. This would have been the optimum arrangement as far as sound quality, but it was simply not what we wanted. They were very reluctant to move and it took much persuasion. Other than that, the night went smoothly and the band was friendly. As a side note, it was mentioned that it was hard to request a song.

:

This was a most disappointing event. As a professional, it is critically important to us that announcements, toasts and the music be heard by all, especially at a wedding reception. Unfortunately, the mother of the bride insisted that we play to 1/4 of the room. The rest of the guests didn't hear anything going on throughout the evening due to her new placement. Amazingly, the father of the bride, bride and groom spoke to us after we moved and agreed that the new spot (their spot) was not the best and we shouldn't have been moved. We pride ourselves on our experience and professionalism and it is sad when someone does not put their faith in us.

Wedding•Reviewed on September 24, 2005•From Wapakoneta, OH

We were very upset that we took the time to put together a CD of 20 songs that were special to us that Bill was given and he only played 6 at the most. Other than that we were very pleased with Bill.

:

The instructions left with the CD only indicated to supplement with these songs (all from 3 artists.) All of the guests were on the dance floor from its opening to the very last song and were very complimentary on the song selections. In reality, at least 10 of her songs were played. The couple was not always in the room at the time, since it was a three story event location. In addition, the couple did not inform the entertainer of the three flights of stairs with no elevator and were not charged additional fees.

Christening•Reviewed on February 23, 2009•From Dayton, OH

:

This was a most unusual client. She emailed the performer not less than 19 times and called daily the final week prior to the event with questions that were either addressed in the contract or were discussed before the event was contracted. For instance, she complained about not being able to pay the final amount with a credit card through Gigmasters. While this is clear on the Gigmasters site and included in the contract, the performer also offered other solutions to assist. All of these types of questions were answered to mutual satisfaction before the event. On the night of the event, the client made no other requests, which makes the feedback very strange.

Wedding•Reviewed on February 23, 2009•From Dublin, OH

:

This couple was almost two hours late and left a very detailed timeline and song list for a four hour reception. Due to time constraints, all changes to their itinerary were approved by the couple through their wedding coordinator. When asked several times during the event, the couple expressed no concerns or complaints to the performer. At the end of the night the performer received many compliments from their guests on song selection and his performance.

Wedding•Reviewed on October 4, 2008•From Sandusky, OH

We hired Bill as a solo act for our small wedding on Oct 4. He showed up early, played all the favorites, kept everyone entertained (old and young) and was very professional. I would have liked to hear more of his guitar work rather than his extensive CD collection, but that's just my personal preference for talented guitarists. Recommended to all.

Anniversary Party•Reviewed on July 4, 2009•From Delaware, OH

Everyone at our party really enjoyed listening to the Bill Foley Trio. Their music was great. We were disappointed, however, that one of their breaks lasted longer than 30 minutes when Bill became engaged in an extended conversation with some of our guests. Regardless, we would strongly recommend them to anyone who is looking for a highly talented oldies band.

Retirement Party•Reviewed on August 24, 2009•From Thompsonville, MI

I was very pleased w/the Bill Foley Band, and really have no complaints. I was nervous going into it, not knowing if they were going to perform to my expectations, but they did. I didn't have to tell them 'otherwise' while they were performing. Also, Bill was very personable and friendly. He went out of his way to speak w/me and make sure I was happy, and he spoke w/some of the guests too. Thumbs up!
