"Dear Aaron: Casey and I wanted to let you know that we are both very pleased
that we chose to hire you for our July 8, 2006 wedding at the downtown Harvard
Club in Boston. Thank you for a job very well done. Truth be told, you offer great bang for the buck! Our
guests said wonderful things about your piano playing during our cocktail hour,
which unfortunately we couldn’t hear (because we were in our private
reception). We were lucky enough to hear your performance during our
reception, which was stellar. We very much appreciated
your low-key emceeing style, your attention to detail (you correctly pronounced
all of our very difficult names!), and the way you selected songs. Also,
your unique approach of playing genre-based sets eliminated the abrupt
transitions between songs so characteristic of most other DJs, kept people on
the dance floor, and created great continuity throughout the
evening. Best of all, you were totally receptive to Casey and
I – our musical tastes and preferences (e.g. play and do-not-play
lists).
I will forever be grateful to you for keeping
country music out of my wedding, despite all the requests you surely
received! You exhibited great professionalism and sound
judgment. Thank you for your hard work and for being a genuinely nice
person. It was a pleasure to work with you, and I would be happy to
serve as a reference for future clients."

"To
all people looking for a musician/DJ for a special event: I knew prior to my wedding that
the person in charge of entertainment really can make or break a wedding.
I have been to weddings that were truly awful in the past, and therefore made it
a priority to find someone who knew what they were doing. My wife
and I could not possibly be more satisfied with the experience we had with Aaron
Topfer. Aaron did everything right: he was impeccably professional,
organized, and concerned with making the day perfect. He spent time
talking with us, getting to know us, and developing a sense for the kind of
event we wanted, and I felt as though he really cared to make our day as special
as he could. Aaron is a musician, and he, along with several other musicians,
played at our ceremony, the cocktail hour, and initial dinner. The grace
and class they added to our celebration was priceless. They played
beautifully and appropriately for the occasion, and really enhanced the mood and
enjoyment of our guests. Following this, Aaron turned into a DJ...and he
was truly terrific. Aaron perceived, through conversations he had with us
and through our request list, the exact kind of music and the kind of party we
wanted. He let our preferences guide the day, and he truly provided a
party that felt genuine and our own. Furthermore, with his tremendous
music knowledge, he was able to come up with suggestions and thoughts that were
in-line with our tastes and preferences---songs we did not even think about
before talking with him, but which fit in perfectly. And throughout it all, he
remained professional, service oriented, responsible...in short, I cannot say
one bad thing. Aaron works hard and cares enough to do a great job, and he
has the talent to match his commitment. We were very lucky to have
him."

"Aaron: We wanted to thank you again for
your first class service as our music provider for our wedding reception.
Though Greg and I were off site for photographs during the cocktail hour, we've heard so many compliments from our guests regarding the
piano music you played. Not only did they love the selections, but
thought the volume was perfect as well (which is a very important factor,
especially during the cocktail hour!). Now for the Reception! You did an amazing job following our requests of likes and
dislikes. You played a wide range of selections but they seemed to
appeal to just about everyone. You even got Greg to dance...and he doesn't
dance...EVER! And, in addition, excellent work at keeping the evening
moving along. From the toasts to the last dance, you announced each event
in a clear and professional way. Lastly, we wanted to
thank you for being easy and fun to work with.
We will gladly offer your contact information
to any and all of our friends who are looking for a talented, professional
musician/DJ."

"Dear Aaron: Rob and I want to
thank you so much for providing us with outstanding service as a Pianist, DJ and
Master of Ceremonies at our wedding on September 30th, 2005 at the Lighthouse
Inn. It was a pleasure meeting and working with you during the months prior to
the wedding, and we greatly appreciated your vast knowledge of music, your
flexibility, and your talent -- you are a true professional. We feel that our wedding day was magical and could not have been
more perfect, and that was in great part because of you. The piano music
you played during the ceremony and cocktail hour was beautiful, you kept the
timeline moving along very smoothly, and got everyone
dancing right until the end, including myself. I will never forget
walking down my aisle of rose petals and hearing you playing "Love of My Life"
by Jim Brickman on the piano -- it was one of the best moments of my life. My friends and family members are still talking about how much Fun
they had and how impressed they were with the Music!
If the opportunity arises, which
I am sure it will, we will highly recommend you to anyone who is looking for DJ
Music for their wedding or private function -- we know they will be very happy
and pleased, just as we are. Thank you, Aaron, again for doing a great job and
for our beautiful memories."

"This letter is to give high
recommendation to Aaron Topfer as a Musician, DJ, and Master of Ceremonies for
any Special Event. We hired Aaron for our wedding in September 2005. We found
Aaron to be a complete professional during all stages of planning up through the
evening of our event. He gave special attention to understanding the types of
music we wanted at our reception and the level of interaction we wanted him to
have with our guests. He designed the evening to customize to what we wanted and
as such was extremely easy to work with. One great thing about Aaron is that he
only books one event a day and so he has was able to stay late without
additional charges. Our reception started out with a cocktail hour in which he
played piano and he also hired a stand-up bassist. The live
music was a nice mix of jazz and added that special touch of class to our
wedding. As the Master of Ceremonies for
the night, he facilitated the movement of our guests all evening which was great
and allowed the activities of the night to flow extremely well. After dinner, he
became our DJ and he had everyone dancing for hours and it
was a Blast! Our guests had a Great Time and I Still receive compliments on how
great the dancing was!
Aaron is a classy professional, dressed in a tuxedo and brings no
props and leaves the partying to the guests.
We were thrilled with him
and would recommend him without hesitation to anyone who is looking for a great
mixture of Live Music as well as a DJ. I am confident you will not be
disappointed."

"I was
incredibly impressed with Aaron's knowledge, professionalism and amazing
attention to detail. Music selection was very important to me. Aaron assured me
he could completely customize my wedding with all my music choices from the
ceremony through to the reception. After just one
conversation with him, I had complete confidence in his ability to effectively
DJ our wedding. I did not need to shop around. Moreover, his demeanor and
ability to customize to our wedding needs balanced with his attentive and
supportive nature which made dealing with Aaron so easy. It is rare to find
someone so accommodating and pleasant to deal with. Not only did Aaron DJ our
wedding and meet every detail of our requirements, but he also did a wonderful
job of playing the organ during the ceremony, and playing the piano during the
cocktail hour. We have had many people comment on how beautiful and special our
wedding was, but the one consistent comment is how brilliant the music was and
how talented Aaron is. He did a fantastic job keeping everything on schedule and
ensuring that the entire dance floor was covered. On a side note, my husband and
I were totally clueless on the musical needs during a traditional wedding
ceremony. Aaron knew exactly what we were looking for, and within minutes of our
first and only meeting, he was able to, on the spot, articulate and play samples
of what we were looking for and help us to choose the perfect music for our
ceremony. Aaron has an uncanny ability to make one feel extremely comfortable
and help direct the entire wedding process in a gentile professional manner.
There are lots of things that did not go as planned on our wedding day, but we
knew Aaron would not let us down. Aaron was sincerely the most stable, trusted
part of our wedding process, and I really appreciate how comfortable he had us
feel. I am happy to recommend Aaron and more importantly, I would use him for
any musician or DJ needs in the future.

"I am writing this letter of
recommendation for Aaron Topfer because I couldn't be more pleased with his
services as the pianist and DJ for our wedding. At a wedding, the music is
absolutely crucial. It sets the tone for the entire evening. It was very
important to my husband and me to find just the right person. We were married in Bennington , Vermont , and are from New York .
We were worried we wouldn't be able to find what we were looking for long
distance. We were very lucky to have found Aaron who travels to the entire New
England area at no additional cost. We were looking for a DJ that was
going to be low key and unobtrusive. He was exactly what we were looking for. He
kept the evening flowing without being overbearing. We received numerous
compliments from our guests about Aaron. His piano playing during the cocktail
hour was charming and beautiful. The guests were gushing
over the ambience the piano created.
He is truly an accomplished
pianist. Not only were his services at the wedding stellar, but every contact I
had with him in the months prior to the wedding, were most pleasant. He has a
way of putting you at ease, and as any bride who is planning a wedding knows, it
is important to be dealing with someone who is knowledgeable and informative, as
well as accommodating, with a way of letting you know that everything will work
out just fine. Aaron truly wants to make your day the way you have envisioned
it. It is with no reservation that I would highly recommend the services of
Aaron Topfer. He is a professional of the highest degree and a pleasure to have
done business with." Thanks Aaron!!!

"Hi Aaron, We wanted to thank you
for doing such a wonderful job with our wedding music. We both enjoyed your
piano music during the ceremony and multiple guests mentioned to us how
beautiful the piano music during the cocktail hour was (we were getting
photographed so unfortunately didn't hear this part). We
were very happy to have so many people on the dance floor
, and I know you had more that a little to do with that!
Finally, we thought playing our wedding song again for us at the end was a
really nice touch. We felt a lot more relaxed then and could enjoy it more.
Thank you very much for everything! We will certainly recommend you to our
friends and family in the Boston area for future events. Sincerely, Julianne and
Dinekar"

"Dear Aaron: Julia
and I want to thank you once again for your outstanding musical services during
our wedding reception in Newport (RI) last November. We were extremely impressed
with your flexibility as we rescheduled the start time of the reception at the
last minute and changed the order in which the wedding party would enter the
reception hall. At a time when we worried about everything else, we knew the
music was in good hands. Our guests loved the piano music you played during the
cocktail hour and we will never forget your piano accompaniment to the Best
Man's toast. It really made the moment! We were also grateful for your ability
to play so many DJ requests and to keep our guests dancing until the staff at
the reception hall had to kick us out. A Terrific Time was
had by all our guests due to your wonderful DJ/Emcee Services!
Thank you again for a memorable reception."

"To Whom It May Concern: This letter
is to recommend Aaron Topfer's Music Services for any special event. He is a
musician & performer of a very high degree of quality. In addition, he is a
gentleman to work with, prompt, professional, & dependable. When choosing
music for your special moments, my wife and I strongly recommend Aaron's
services. Our daughter, Melissa, was planning her Vermont
wedding (where we live) from Iowa . She had found Aaron on the Internet and got
an immediate response from him. Because my wife and I were coming to
Boston for a Dental Conference on the same day that Aaron
was performing at the Boston Ritz-Carlton Hotel
, we decided to hear and meet him ourselves. We were glad to find an
excellent performer and a person who seemed easy to work with. He already had
spoken with Melissa and knew almost all of the details of the wedding even
before we talked to him. A few months later, when Melissa came home with her
fiancée for Easter, we saw Aaron again. We all drove down to Boston from Vermont
to coordinate and finalize the exact music for Melissa's special day. Aaron knew
all of the pieces that Melissa had picked and even played many of them on the
spot for her. We all felt confident and secure knowing Aaron was in charge of
the music. Finally, on the Wedding Day itself, I was glad to see Aaron setting
up hours ahead of time. It was reassuring to see him already there and ready to
go. Needless to say, the music at the Ceremony & Reception was exceptional
and very festive. We were all delighted with Aaron's music from start to finish
and it truly added something spectacular to our daughter's big day."

"To Whom It May Concern: Aaron Topfer
performed at our rehearsal dinner on October 17, 2003, and our wedding on
October 18, 2003. For our wedding, he played piano, accompanied by a wonderful
violinist he recommended, for our ceremony, cocktails and dinner. After dinner
he performed do/emcee duties. Both my husband and I were extremely pleased with
all of the services Aaron provided for us. We were unable to meet with Aaron in
person for the planning, but through emails and phone conversations, he was able
to get a feel for the tone we were trying to set and thus the type of music we
were looking for. His playing was beautiful and the music selections were
exactly what we wanted. In terms of his do/emcee portion of the services, we did
provide Aaron with a specific play list, which Aaron did play (I think he was
also able to figure out our tastes from this list and incorporated that into his
piano selections). Aaron was a professional emcee for us as well. We did not
request much in the way of emcee duties, and Aaron was true to our request and
was not intrusive at all. Additionally, he was open to requests from our guests
and was very accommodating to them. I cannot begin to say how pleased we were
with Aaron. When I look back on the wedding now, I know he was integral to the
ceremony and reception being beautiful and wonderful. He has helped leave us
with great memories of such a special day in our lives. Sincerely, Sarah and
Peter A. Wolf"

"Aaron: Just a note to thank you for the wonderful job you did at our Wedding Ceremony and Reception. When I was walking down the aisle, hearing you play brought a smile to my face and made my nervous butterflies subside. Your timing, tempo, and professionalism were exceptional. At the Reception, our guests commented to us how very much they enjoyed your music. Your song selections and repertoire were vast and it was as if you played something special for every person of every different taste in music in attendance. We thank you again for playing for us, and we want you to know how much joy you added to our day. When we watch our video from that day, we are reminded how lovely everything was set to your music."

"Dear
Aaron: I wanted to send a note thanking your for your musical contribution to
our wedding. We were so happy with the choices you helped us select. Everyone
thought the music was lovely, and your music was an integral part. Initially, we
were anxious about selecting music for our ceremony. We did not know any
selections by name, and were afraid that any planning session would be long and
painful. We were so pleasantly surprised how easy and fun it
was with you!
Any concerns we had about figuring
out what to play and when to play it were swept away as you went through many
different selections for us! We were able to hear each piece and decide if it
was for us. You had great ideas and were sensitive to the kind of wedding we
wanted to have. Good luck in the future and feel free to use this letter as a
recommendation from us to whomever may be thinking about hiring you for their
event! Your professionalism and promptness helped make planning our wedding
easier."

"I am
writing to recommend Aaron Topfer for any event that may require a musician or
performer. He is an extremely professional and experienced
individual who provides a Classy Style to any occasion. Moreover, his Prices are
Very Reasonable, especially for the High Quality of his performance. My
wife and I booked Aaron for our April 2003 wedding. He played both for our
reception at Searles Castle in Windham, New Hampshire, and at our ceremony in a
local church. Though we were planning our wedding from the
West Coast, it was always very easy to reach Aaron, either by phone or
e-mail.
When we traveled back East to make final plans for our event, he was very flexible in working around our schedule to go over music for our day. For our reception, we were interested in having a trio. Aaron presented us with numerous options from which to choose, thus allowing us to tailor our event. He had several vocalists send us their samples, and from the quality of their singing, it was clear that Aaron has very high standards for those with whom he works. We were extremely impressed with the breadth of his musical abilities and the quality of his performance. At our ceremony, Aaron played various selections on the organ and demonstrated obvious experience. He also arrived early to the church to ensure everything was in place and to make final coordination with the minister.
Directly after the ceremony, he proceeded to the reception for the cocktail hour and played a range of music on the piano, including Ragtime, Classical, and Light Jazz. During dinner, the members of the trio arrived: a bassist and a vocalist. From our first dance until the last song of the night, they did a remarkable job. We had sent Aaron a long list of musical requests: a wide range of songs from Swing, all the way to Modern Rock and Dance Tunes. Throughout the night, they played them intermixed with others that fit with the mood of the event. In conclusion, I must say that we were entirely satisfied and pleased with Aaron Topfer's work. We continue to receive many positive comments from our friends and relatives who attended the wedding. He truly added a perfect atmosphere to this special day. It is very clear that Aaron takes great pride in offering the highest quality service. He was always prompt to respond to our requests and took care of every detail so that we did not have to worry. In every respect, he was professional and his performance, along with that of the trio, was of the highest caliber."
