From 2007 & 2008 WRTV AList "Indiana's 'Best' Local Businesses Nominations

Mary Phillips

"I attended an event when the 7-pc band (the Noteables) played. They played all the Big Band and dance music we love. They played good music and it was really fun. So, when we needed to hire a Singing Telegram for a birthday party, we called Phyllis and Friends. No surprise. The singer dressed up like a mobster and sang like Frank Sinatra. Great voice. What a hoot! Vote for them. They are so cool."

Donna Clark

"Offers excellent string music."

Riley Williams

"We hired the Jazz Plus Duo for our 50th anniversary party. It was piano and drums and the drummer sang as well. They were good together--both excellent musicians. They were much more than we expected. Way to Go!"

Kara

"Very professional...I had many compliments about the string quartet at my wedding."

JM Smith

"I've been to three places in the past to hear this group, I believe they would be a great addition to any party or wedding. Very nice people, very good sound."

The Grezlik's

"They knew exactly what we wanted - even when we weren't sure! "

Newly Married Homebody

"We used Phyllis on Piano for our ceremony and the Jazz Plus Band for our reception. One call and Phyllis arranged all our music. She gave us an itinerary for the ceremony and reception and announced all the special events at our reception. She was so helpful and really made everything so easy. The music was beautiful and just what we wanted. Ceremony music flowed beautifully, and at the reception the band played songs from most every decade. Their singer was just fabulous. They made our special day a fabulous day to remember. Our guests all commented about their choice of songs and that they were not too loud. Book these guys!"

Nancy Nichols Evans

"Their music is an expression of Love, Life, Spirit, Soul, Principle, and Mind...all the qualities of good, God and has a powerful effect of healing in the body of listeners."

Anonymous

"I liked their style."

Susie Quintin

"The Piano/Violin Duo played for our ceremony made our day extra special. The Jazz Plus Trio played for our reception, and I must say that all three musicians were outstanding. The trumpet sounded like Chris Botti, the singer-drummer had such a great voice, and versatile, too. He was Sinatra, Nat King Cole, Temptations, and 50's & 60's + current songs (smooth jazz, Oldies, Current, country, everything-unbelievable! The keyboardist played many styles and pulled it all together with various sounds. They were very classy and too loud. They were much more than we expected from three people. I recommend Phyllis and Friends to all my friends. Onward to the A-List!"

Ed Champa

"They were wonderful! We got a package and they did our ceremony with Duo Violins playing classical traditional songs and then also played a totally different sound and instruments for our reception. So we had to deal with only one person for ALL of our music. The reception music was perfect with a wide variety over the decades so all ages were able to enjoy some of their favorite songs. I highly recommend them. "

"Phyllis responded to my wedding music crisis with superhuman speed! Her wonderful rendition was the only one that would do for my English Country Garden style theme, and I only had 1 month to plan the wedding (August 15, 2005). I couldn't find anything I liked until I heard her music! With just 3 days to go before the big day, I emailed her with my request and she overnighted me a CD of her beautiful music, which arrived so quickly I even had time to go over my selections with my wedding planner! Thank you Phyllis, for making my special day a fairytale dream! You're the BEST :)"
