"You guys are the best wedding band
ever! If you are getting married, hire this band!"
- Cara C., Mike's Bride, Steamboat Springs, CO "I just wanted to tell you how much
difference you made at Emily's and Chris's wedding. Emily and I did
not agree initially about the music and even the band. We were coming
from 2 different generations. How fortunate that we ran across your
band. It made it all work beautifully.
You all are so talented and nailed Patsy, Metallica and rock. Everyone
danced and just had a blast. I left briefly and when I came back
all the young people were jumping around facing you and just listening
like they were at a concert. It was a great moment.
Your video on line doesn't do you justice cause you ROCK. I also
love that you were so professional yet cool. Matt you did a
fantastic job with MC as well. Thanks again."
-Susie and Gary F. "...Exactly what we were looking
for; talented wedding musicians capable of performing our non-traditional
favorites as well as wedding dance songs ...If only our friends had
a band for their wedding reception like this I would've quit whining
during the first song!"
Danny, Groom, Denver, CO "First of all, I want to say that
your band made our wedding what it was. You are all so talented and
we couldn't have asked for anything better. We had so many people
come up to us to tell us how great the band was. Our friend Cliff
told us it was the best music he has ever heard at a wedding and
I agree. Thanks for the great jam music. I almost felt like I was
at a concert! You all were great!
-Heather, bride, Estes Park, CO "Tell the band they were just fabulous:
the sound, the music, the singing, the songs. Everyone was so pleased.
We had dancers from under 2 to 90+!"
-DeDe C., bride's mom, Monarch, CO "My one concern was for our wedding
music and you guys went above and beyond any expectations I had.
The "Buster" to "Antleope" was killer. Everyone
had great things to say. Thanks for being so flexible and giving
us a great day!"
-Ryan, Estes Park, CO Bing who was a guest at Justin and Miko's
Wedding on St. Patrick's Day said to be sure to tell everyone, "This
is absolutely the most bad-a$$ wedding band ever! I had a blast!"
-Bing, Tabernash, CO I just wanted to drop u a note and tell
u thx!! everything was great! all of u did a wonderful job! everyone
thought the band was great! thx again!
-Wally B, Father of the Bride, Scottsbluff, NE "Thank you so much for venturing
to Steamboat and helping to make our wedding ceremony and wedding
reception music so special. You all were incredible and helped make
the wedding reception amazing. Everyone raved about you the entire
evening and long afterwards. We have already recommended you to several
people as well! You were a pleasure to work with and are all very
talented musicians. Thank you again for being such an important part
of our special day - we love the Spotlight Band!"
- Liz & Mark, Steamboat Springs, CO "Your band is amazing!"
- Maria K., Denver, CO "You guys "rocked"...David
and I wanted to pop in to say thanks again for making our wedding
reception music so amazing.
People are still talking about how GREAT the band was. We really
appreciated all your enthusiasm and love for music. Thanks again!"
-Lisa & David E., Rapid City, SD "The Spotlight Band was just the
kind of wedding entertainment we needed. Everything went without
a hitch. They were there, set up and ready to go ahead of schedule.
I've known a few bands in my day, and believe me, that's a biggie.
They were everything I expected and more. This is a versatile, tight
band for a wedding, capable of soft dinner music to hard-driving
rock 'n roll, and everything in between. The two-person version of
the band (flute and guitar for the wedding ceremony music) even learned
and played a song that I wrote for my bride as she walked down the
aisle. That's service! I highly recommend the Spotlight Band if you
need a band for a wedding or coporate party."
-Andrew M., Breckendridge, CO "It was truly a pleasure meeting
you and the Spotlight Band. I just wanted to take a moment to thank
you for a job well done. Your ability to transition from cocktails
to dinner and back to full dancing was spectacular! And I loved the
effort above and beyond with the Swedish folk song. You have truly
won my heart for future events. I look forward to working with you
again in Breckenridge."
-Michelle Bennewitz, Wedding & Event Planner"You guys were awesome. I will be sure
to recommend you to everyone and anyone.
What a party! We had a blast and I hope you had fun with us rowdy
New Yorkers.
Sorry I kept stealing the mic from you at the end. I was the happy
and drunk bride! Thanks for everything."
-the Killians"The Spotlight Dance Variety Band was
our wedding reception band for our wedding reception in April of
2003, and we were very pleased with the job that they did. When
we were looking for a band for our wedding, we were on a budget
and getting very discouraged at the prices many of the dance variety
bands were asking for. When we found The Spotlight Band, they were
so affordable that we were initially worried that they were "too
good to be true". We definitely got more than we paid for!
The band has a very versatile and diverse
play list including all the favorite wedding dance songs, and Matt
Bassano worked with us to choose our "special" songs
such as first dance, father-daughter dance, etc. He paid close
attention to specific songs and types of wedding dance songs that
we wanted and did not want to be played at the reception, and respected
our wishes. Matt professionally worked with the hotel wedding coordinator
to make sure that both set-up and the entire wedding reception
went perfectly. The Spotlight Band was punctual, prepared, and
looked very appropriate for the occasion. They sounded great at
the reception, with some wonderful voices for the singing. We were
definitely happy with them.
Matt also performed the traditional piano
music for our wedding ceremony,and we were equally pleased with
his work there. He had excellent suggestions for us when we were
uncertain as to our options, was professional at all times, and
sounded very good.
I would not hesitate to recommend Matt Bassano and The Spotlight
Dance Variety Band if you need a band for a wedding reception or
other event." - Carolyn, Bride, Denver, COSpotlight did an absolutely fantastic job
and I am so glad they enjoyed themselves too!
We had a ball and it was really nice that Matt allowed my friend
Harwood to get up and sing and honored a few of our impromptu requests.
It really was a pleasure working with you all. I would highly recommend
Ad Hoc and Spotlight to anyone. -Hilary, Bride, Lyons, CO
We just want to thank you and the band for doing such a fabulous
job at our wedding..You were so wonderful, and all we got were compliments
about how good you were. Hopefully we'll be able to hear you play
again in the future. Thanks again!
-Rick & Sarah D., Denver, CO
I didn't get a chance at the reception
but I wanted to thank you guys for the show you put on. You guys made the party rock! Thanks
again for making our day that much more awesome!
-Tim B, Steamboat Springs, CO

Top 10 Reasons This Is The
"Best Wedding Band Ever"!
1)We will
play any and every request you have…given
sufficient advance notice, we will play them all. That’s
right, all of them! In addition to disco, classical, jazz, Motown,
rock, country, 80s, oldies and swing, we’ve played Swedish
folk songs, songs from Broadway musicals, bluegrass, salsa, punk
and Widespread Panic...you name it, we can play it!
2)We play the widest variety of
music… lovely, quiet dinner
music at the appropriate volume for dinner; wedding dance songs
of every sort, often played as medleys to keep everybody dancing!
3)The band can split in half and
play 2 places at once... let’s
say that for cocktails the bar is in the ballroom but guests are
also able to walk out on the lawn. We might put the keyboardist
and sax player inside; the singer, guitarist, bass player and drummer
outside... for nice, ambient music in both places.
4)We schedule breaks only when
appropriate...we schedule breaks so
that the band is only breaking when it’s appropriate. For
example, we might play dinner straight through without a break
then take a break during toasts. We want to make sure you get your
money’s worth! For example, we weren’t schedule to
start playing at one wedding until after dinner but dinner ran
an hour and a half late... so we played the remaining 2 and a half
hours without a break. We’ll also play CDs for you during
breaks.
5)We don’t have long breaks
in between songs...it’s not as
crucial during dinner, but during the dance portion of the evening,
you don’t want big break sin the music as the band figures
out what to play next. We string songs together into medleys so
we don’t kill the dance groove - we’ll play 7 songs
in a medley that lasts a half hour, then stop for 10 seconds to
get ready for the next one.
6)We can play your ceremony...
with musicians from the band. Choose from solo piano, classical
guitar, piano and flute, guitar
and flute, or add the singer on Ave
Maria or The Wedding Song.
7) We can Emcee your reception...we
know how to Emcee a reception with dignity and class, yet keep
people involved and having fun at the same time.
8) We know weddings...as
musicians for hire, we play a lot of weddings so we know what can
go wrong and make sure it doesn’t. One wedding planner told
us afterwards, “The toasts were planned to go for a half
an hour and after 10 minutes they were done. I was freaking out
because I had told the band to take a break... I looked around
and they were standing right behind me - whew!”
9) We can customize our sound for
you with other instruments... add a
violin for country music, a 3-piece horn section for swing, a conga
player for salsa. We have lots of tried and true musicians who
play with us and are ready to go!
10) Let us provide varied music
entertainment for your entire wedding...for
a very reasonable price, you can have a classical duo or trio for
your ceremony music, the band split into two combos inside and
outside for cocktails, nice quiet dinner music and a rockin’ dance
party with the whole band, playing until the wee hours.
