ABOUT OUR BAND:

"What a beautiful job you did! From the organization and detail side to the actual music, everything was perfect!! It was a match made in Heaven! Not just the bride and groom…also the wedding and the band!! The dynamic was great! Our friends and family kept saying they’ve never seen so many people on the dance floor so consistently…that’s a tribute to you all! We got so many compliments on you and the band! We can’t wait to have some other event so we can hire you all again!!!" -- Sharon Solow, Mother of the Bride,  Pebble Beach, CA

“I want to thank you both so very much for a perfect evening!!!  You were a huge hit with everyone!!!!!!!!!!  They loved your music choice, your great personalities and the general “fun” feeling of the wedding.  It is unbelievable how many emails and phone calls I received for the days past the wedding complimenting every moment of the event.  My only thing was it went so fast that day that most of everything is a blur.  I do know from comments how beautiful everyone felt the music was.  They especially loved “Songbird” played on the guitar and flute.  I truly felt with you two in charge, I did not stress.  Thank you!!!!!” --Lori Scherling, Mother of the Bride, Carmel, CA

               "The choice of the band can make or break an event.  Long after the event is over people will forget what they ate or what kind of Hors d'oeuvres you served but they will always remember the music.  Steve Ezzo & The Monterey Bay All-Stars will not only leave good memories but great ones.  Each member of the band is a fantastic musician and together they are one of the best bands I have ever had or seen at an event.  They are super to work with, professional, prompt and accommodating.  Everyone one of our guests, both local and international guests, complemented the music and the band. They had fun and the music will remain in their minds when they think of our event. Steve, Ann, and Company--thank you for the memories." --Kimberli, Dusseldorf, Germany & Cameron, Point Richmond, CA

  "We never had the chance of thanking you at the end of the reception.  We received numerous feedback from our guests regarding the band, and they really enjoyed it, which was obvious from all the applause you guys received throughout the reception. We also can't forget the guitar solo during the ceremony. Thanks Steve!! It gave that outdoor ceremony a nice touch. We did hear Fields of Gold while we were struggling with the unity candle :) Best of all, we couldn't have asked for anything more on the first dance song. Thank you for executing that song wonderfully.  We can go on and on, but thanks so much for the planning, the great performance and you guys truly made our wedding even more memorable. You guys truly rock!!"  --Kim and Ryan Jaranilla, Los Angeles, CA


            "We had Steve Ezzo DJ part of our reception and then the Monterey Bay All-Stars played the rest.  We would highly recommend Steve Ezzo for any wedding.  Steve and his wife were extremely professional leading up to the event and the band was fantastic.  I'm a bit of a music snob, but even I was impressed with the way the band sounded and their style.  Our wedding party danced for five hours straight and didn't want to stop!  Thanks so much Steve Ezzo!"  --Jordan Carpenter, New York, N.Y.

             “The band was perfect!  They were exactly what we were hoping for, and they outperformed our expectations.  I will highly recommend them as well as the booking services you provide.  Additionally, the guests commented on how great the band was as well.  Thanks for everything - it truly has been a pleasure working with you.” --Ken Ebert, Pacific Grove, CA

           “We want to thank you for the tremendous job you did to make Katy and Joe’s wedding so  memorable.  The music you provided and arranged was perfect and you were able to accommodate all the different situations.  The ceremony music you arranged was lovely, the guitar played on the deck during cocktails was really nice and the music you provided during the dinner could not have been better.  We really appreciate the way you were able to adapt the music to the time frame when the dinner hour extended an extra hour!  You also were able to arrange the sound system so we could hear the ceremony and then the speeches during dinner.  We want to thank you for working so closely with Katy and Joe to provide them with their music selections.  You were always professional.  We will always be available to give you recommendations.” --Sincerely, Georgiana and Geoff Anderson, Lincoln, CA

            “We want to thank you for all the work that you put in to making our wedding so perfect.  Learning additional songs, adding a phenomenal female vocalist--we appreciate everything!  Family and friends are still talking about how good the band was--and proof is that the dance floor was packed all night.  Ann, you did a wonderful job communicating with us and helping us make choices.  You really took the stress out of the process.  The bandleader’s energy and talent kept the party going. It was terrific. We would absolutely recommend all of you!!" --With love and appreciation, Carin and Justin Pollock, Washington, D. C.

            “Ann, the band was absolutely perfect for our wedding!  We danced and danced until the end of the evening.  Thank you so much for all of your help!  The experience with you could not have been any better.  Thanks so much!” --Brooke and Mazzi Ernandes, Eugene, OR

"Thank you both for making our event amazing.  The band was great and did a great job of covering all the genres and generations of music for our guests."   Tonya & Brian Hubbinger, San Francisco, CA

“Thank you for such a wonderful job.  EVERYONE raved about the band, both kids and adults and Paige (the bride) had a great time.  When I was in the theater afterward, the foreman (of Holman Ranch) said the residents usually close their doors and windows, but this time they were all out on their porches listening to the music.  Thank you both and I will certainly be an enthusiastic referral source.  Hopefully we will get to hear you again!"  --Joanie Wellington, Mother of the Bride, Carmel, CA

“We were so pleased with our ceremony and reception music!  There was so much attention to detail and we received many compliments about the music and the musicians.  The flamenco guitarist was a great addition.  We will look forward to our DVD of the event so that we can relive the music and our special day.  We really enjoyed working with Steve and Ann and we appreciate their professionalism, enthusiasm, and kindness.  We would love to work with Steve Ezzo Entertainment again!" --Diana and Pierce Gore, Los Gatos, CA

ABOUT OUR DJ OR GUITAR/DJ COMBO:

Thank you so much for all you did to make our wedding so amazing.  It was an incredible day and we had the time of our lives.  The events went so perfectly.  The music was really wonderful, particularly during our wedding ceremony--it was just gorgeous.  The dancing was absolutely phenomenal and you handled it all so beautifully.  We just wanted to make sure you knew how much we appreciated all you did.  Thank you also for your flexibility.  Thank you for being so responsive to all our requests.  The live and recorded music was wonderful.  You created exactly the kind of atmosphere we envisioned!  A big heartfelt thank you and I am happy to recommend you to anyone.  If you ever need a recommendation from us, please let us know.”  --Dr. Kathleen Rice, Oakland, CA

“Steve Ezzo is an incredible musician whose unsurpassed talent has impressed both of us and all of our family and friends with something as simple as a website MP3 Clip. He and his wife Ann Ezzo are the kindest people we have ever had the great privilege to work with. They’ve devoted their time and skills to helping us despite budget issues and time limitations. It can honestly be said that we would have re-scheduled the wedding date if they hadn’t been available on our date. Thank you both for your remarkable dedication to such a wonderful trade and incredible talent. We trust you both to the fullest.” -- Ann Swank & Ryan Milligan, Monterey, CA

         “Irene and I would just like to thank you both for doing such a wonderful job.  The music was fantastic as was the presentation.  I had quite a few people after the wedding asking about your DJ services and they all really enjoyed the music.  Thank you so much for creating such a great atmosphere during the reception and making it very easy for Irene and myself to not have to worry about the little details such as when certain songs were going to start and when to be in certain places at certain times.  Your professionalism was a treat and a blessing!!  Thank you for helping make our wedding memorable! --Lawrence and Irene Zenk, Salinas, CA   (Lawrence and Irene have recommended us to several of their friends whose weddings we have done.)

        "Thank you so much for the fabulous job you did at Katharine and Zac's wedding.  Steve, you were great.  So many people commented on the beautiful guitar playing during the ceremony and the cocktail reception.  There's nothing like live music--it makes a special occasion even more special.  And when we moved on to the reception, you did a wonderful job there, too.  You were so right on with your announcements--you said exactly the right things at the right time tohelp keep the evening flowing, yet you always kept the focus on the bride and groom.  And the DJ music for the reception was perfect, too!  Great choices for dining and also for dancing.  Everyone really enjoyed it.  And thanks for staying that extra half hour.  It was nice not to rush at the end.  We loved working with you and hope to see you again." --Libby Pischel, Fairfax, CA

         "Steve and Ann, thank you so much for your excellent skills at our wedding.  We had a perfect day!  The ceremony music was terrific and you two kept the dance floor hoppin'!  The MC skills were perfect too; not too intrusive yet not passive. . . perfect!  Thank you also for your other vendor recommendations."  --Claire and Mike Igoe, Modesto, CA     

        "Ann and Steve were wonderful to work with. I primarily communicated with Ann for the year leading up to our wedding. She listened to our needs, noted our budget, made suggestions, and helped to make our day a special one! When we mentioned having a close friend sing the first-dance song, it was no problem. It went beautifully, even though she and Steve hadn't met until the day of the wedding!  Ezzo Entertainment is unique in that Steve can DJ, play with his band, and/or play solo guitar for any or all parts of your wedding. They're very friendly, knowledgeable, and have a fantastic reputation throughout the Monterey/Carmel area. Even though we only had a tiny budget set for music, we never felt condescended to. Talking and discussing details with Ann is like talking to a friend. It's nice to know there are still professionals out there that put out quality work, take pride in what they do, & don't charge astronomical prices." (as posted on Wedding Wire) and in a thank you card:  "I just wanted to extend one last thank you for everything you've done to help make our wedding day so special.  Ann, you've been so patient and were so flexible to help us stay within budget.  When we renew vows, there'll be no holding back...we want the string quartet and your entire band!" ----Donna Day, Oakland, CA

        "We certainly owe you both many thanks for the role you played in making our wedding day one of the most wonderful and memorable in our lives.  The music of the guitar and cello was absolutely beautiful.  We received many compliments from our guests on your playing and music selections and personally, we were so moved in hearing our selected ceremony music live--it made for an even more magical experience.  We also appreciated Steve's DJing work and were entirely impressed to learn that Steve was downloading songs as guests made requests.  We trust that it was this level of service that kept the dance floor full.  We had the most wonderful time and know our guests felt the same thing.  You both were so wonderful to work with, during the wedding and in the months leading up to it.  Ann, every vendor should be so lucky as to have a coordinator like you.  We appreciate how smoothly everything ran.  Thank you again for all you've done."  -- Jackie & Marcus Lemus, Santa Cruz, CA
