Hardly slept yet, totally knackered but didn't want to phone, say well done and take the easy way out!! It was a magnificent effort. You know I was nervous beforehand and, by now from the few occasions we've met you are aware that I am paranoid about detail and always think I know the perfect solution, what's best and worry about leaving things to the experts. You and the team clearly are "the experts" and our party benefited from it. The atmosphere that you helped create was superb and so many people commented on the fact that it was the best band performance they'd ever seen and heard. Thanks very much indeed for helping to make our occasion the success we believe it was. It was absolutely bloody marvellous and in the main due to Gilev. All the best for the future. On cloud 9.

At last the phone has stopped ringing and I have a minute to write you a message! We were absolutely thrilled with your Showband on Sunday, and so was everyone else! Honestly, Jonny, if it's possible, it was even better than we expected, and both Robert and I feel you surpassed yourselves! Every single thing we asked for, you did.... and this doesn't always happen, I can assure you! What we loved was that nothing was too much trouble, and so those little touches, like the "Sky" music and the "Spiderman" song really made a difference, thanks to your efforts to get hold of them and play them at the right time too! Practically every phone call has heaped praise on Gilev and how wonderful it was! The atmosphere was sensational, Jonny, and much of that was down to the Band.
I loved the music during the meal, and it WASN'T TOO LOUD!!!!!! (Many of the songs chosen were my late parents' favourites, and I so loved hearing them on such a poignant day). I even enjoyed the Israeli dancing, which didn't go on too long thank goodness! As for the "real" dance music, it was nothing short of fabulous, a really stunning sound and you could see how everyone just loved every minute. Finally, I have to admit that you were right about the lighting! I was so scared we'd lose the effect of those beautiful chandeliers, but that gorgeous lighting effect made you look upwards at the ceiling and surroundings, and yes, it really worked. Now I'm waiting for the video to see it all over again and I know when I do, I'll just love seeing your band perform. The whole simcha was absolutely wonderful and we're all on Cloud 9 and staying there for quite a while!!! Thanks again, Jonny, for everything, and I wish you and the Band every success in all your future endeavours..... I know you'll go from strength to strength, and I only hope your own wedding is as nice as ours was!!! With warmest wishes. P.S. Please say "hi" to all the Gang.. like Jeremy and the others who helped so much on Sunday. x

Where can I begin? Anouska & Josh’s wedding last Sunday was the most fantastic, memorable, emotional and wonderful experience for them and for us and I thank you and the whole Gilev Showband for everything that you did. Your entire performance, from beginning to end was slick, smooth, wonderfully balanced and presented and, in a word, fantastic. All our guests have commented on how great the band were and how you made the evening very special for us. I will of course not hesitate to recommend Gilev to anyone who is looking for a showband but, frankly, very little recommendation is needed.
A special thanks also from me personally for your patience and guidance which enabled me to fulfil the dream I have had for many years of singing to my daughter on her wedding day. It would not have been possible without your help and the cooperation and kindness of the rest of the band. Once again, thank you so much for making the wedding so special and such a great success. With best wishes.

We wanted to say another big thank you to all the band from making Nikki & Guy's wedding so magical. We are still on such a high and cant thank you enough - the lighting was incredible - you were absolutely right - and the music was just brilliant - your musicians and singers were outstanding, the staging incredible and the choice of music with the blend of traditional and modern songs worked a treat - you know you have a good party when your guests don’t want to go at the end!! Everyone is still talking about how wonderful you were and we are now reliving it all again when we watch the video. We hope it wont be too long until we see you at another function. Thanks once again. With best wishes.

Perry & I cannot thank you enough for the fantastic performance from all of you on Sunday. From the moment our guests arrived with you and the flautist playing, Levi at the Ceremony, through the reception, to the fantastic music and entertainment during dinner and dancing - you were all brilliant. I also want to thank you personally for the tremendous input on the lighting and sound and your helpfulness in putting the whole event together - the time and effort you made in the days leading up to the wedding to make sure every aspect came together were very much appreciated. Nicole & Edward had the most marvellous day. Our guests have not stopped raving about everything, especially Gilev's performance. Look forward to hearing and seeing you again soon.

Just a short note to thank you and your marvellously talented team for making Charlotte & Eli's wedding such a wonderful experience for us all. We have received such compliments from our guests that your ears should be burning as so many of them have been praising your performance. We hope one day that we will have the opportunity of using your services again but until then I hope your success will grow from strength to strength… you certainly deserve it. With our kindest regards & best wishes.
