REVIEWS


“Hi Don, (and the rest of the Java Jive Band),

I just wanted to tell all of you what a wonderful job you did at the wedding. Simon and I were thrilled on how everything turned out. Everyone can't stop talking about you guys!! It really made the wedding so much fun. I was worried that people weren't going to dance, I sure didn't have to worry about that. Every song was a hit! I really couldn't imagine how it could have been better.

Thank you all very much!

I am looking forward to hearing you all play again sometime,“

Liz


“Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart for making our wedding so much fun!!

Our friends and family can't stop raving about Java Jive - many people commented that you were the best band that they've ever heard! In addition, everyone has exclaimed how much fun they had dancing at the wedding - you guys were absolutely amazing!!

AJ and I appreciate all of the talent, hard work, enthusiasm and care that you put into our wedding day. You are quite simply THE BEST and we were so lucky to find such incredible professionals and wonderful people to work with to bring our wedding reception to life!“

Valerie and AJ Quigley


“As we told you way back when we first booked, we wanted the best for our wedding. we completely feel that we got the best. You guys were great! Thanks for making it a swinging party!”

Melissa & John McCloskey


“Many thanks to Java Jive for a terrific band concert on our Library lawn. You folks are great! Your talent, professionalism, and music selection is unbeatable. Danvers loves Java Jive! What makes your concerts so enjoyable is the variety of music that ranges from the 1920’s to the 90’s. You reach all ages. Your upbeat music keeps everyone happy and involved. Thanks again for your concert. We look forward to seeing you all again in the near future. Have a great year!”

“On November 28th you played at the Barker Tavern for the wedding of our daughter. I am writing to tell you how disappointed Sue’s dad & I were as the reception came to an end - we did not have another function in the near future to have you again! The three of you were fantastic - as if you have never heard that before! Everyone who attended talked for weeks about your music. Thank you once again for making such an important day for all of us so perfect. We have five other children so that maybe someday we’ll be able to have the same pleasure both listening and dancing to your music which is top class all the way. We have three videos of the reception so you’ll never be forgotten. Best of luck to all of you.”

Joan Deveney


“Again, many, many thanks for the beautiful music which helped make our party so much more fun than it has been in the past. I hope we will be able to fit into your schedule in the future."

“Bobby & I wanted to thank you and the rest the Java Jive crew for the outstanding job you did at our wedding. We received so many compliments about your performance. However, more importantly, my parents thought you were excellent (they used that word) and they were your potentially most difficult sell. You made our wedding a big party and we are eternally grateful!”
