We will do promoting here (Cincinnati) for you. Your band was the perfect choice for Ami and Josh's wedding. You were FUN and everyone had a great time. Their wedding was perfect and the band was their #1 priority - all of you filled the bill!!!

Steve and I are back from the honeymoon (and back at work). I wanted to tell you how much we loved having you at the wedding. We got such amazing reviews of the band! We even have friends in Chicago who are talking about trying to hire you the next time they need a band. Just wanted to pass along all the rave reviews.
Jen Streem Ozan
You and your band are awesome!!! Thank you so much for everything. I can't tell you how much fun Mark and I had and how many people told me how fantastic you are.
Tara Steinberg
I (we) want to thank you and the band so much for the amazing performance last month at our wedding. From the moment we spoke, last May, you were nothing but accommodating and professional.

We loved the Neil Diamond medley and my friends/family got such a kick out of it. It actually brought a lot of folks to the dance floor. (who were only sitting b/c their feet hurt).

I especially LOVED the Kelly Clarkson song at the end. Yes, not a traditional wedding song, but we loved it, not just anyone can hit those notes!

Your "MCing" was impeccable. You followed our queues and kept the party flowing beautifully. The band and music have a lot to do with the mood of a wedding. We got so many compliments on how much fun everyone had. Many of the Chicago folks said you were right up there in quality with the Chicago 20 piece bands. I say better! Your energy throughout the entire night was amazing! As a side note, many of Perry's friends are still talking about how cute you are.

Lastly, it's hard, as a bride, to really take in everything that is going on throughout the wedding night. Often pictures are the best way to recall how the night unfolded with the mood etc. I would say 1/4 of the pictures taken by our friends and the professional photographer are of people (including me) with arms in the air, jumping, dancing and looking crazy. It was all because of you. I know a lot of your business comes from recommendations, pictures and your video dvd. If there is anything I can do to help, please let me know! I am happy to forward digital pictures and am definitely spreading the word.

Thank you so much for making our wedding reception the most fun event to ever hit Northeastern Ohio.
Candace & Perry Meyers
The band and you were incredible! A GREAT time was enjoyed by all. We've received great compliments from our guests about the band. You were a real home run. Thanks again.

Bill & Jordanne
I just wanted to thank you again for making my niece, Holly’s Bachlorette party so great. All the girls had such a fabulous time. They loved you and the rest of the band. The pictures are awesome. It is a great way for my sister, Holly’s mom, who lives in North Carolina to be able to see how much fun all three of her daughters were having. Thanks again to you and the band for making her night so special and memorable. I really appreciate all you did to make it happen. Can’t wait to see you again soon.
Nancy Fisco Miller
I recently seen your show on 3/4/06- at the 356 fighter group. It was Fantastic. You all are the best entertainers I have seen in a long long time.
Eric Allison
Last night was awesome!! I was nervous that the crowd was not ready for a band, but they proved me wrong!! You guys were so amazing!! I couldn't believe how full the dance floor was!!! Everybody is talking about "The Band". Everyone kept asking about you guys last night - you definetly blew everyone away!!!! The songs you played from beginning to end were perfect!!! Thank you for making us look good - you guys have so much energy - i just can't believe it!!!
Angela Klodnick
Dear Run Avril Run,

We know that this letter is coming very late, and we apologize for that. However, we would really like to formally thank you for being such a huge part of the most important day of our lives. The band will always be remembered and talked about by every single person that attended our wedding. You guys were absolutely amazing. Thank you for learning the songs that we requested. It really showed us that you were not just any other wedding band, but we knew that already. We look forward to seeing you many more times in the future. Thank you for helping to make our dreams come true!
Greg and Katey Hellickson
I just wanted to say you guys are totally ace! Saturday night rocked, thanks for a great night in Cleveland. Free Bird!!!!!
Cheers!
Jeff Taggart (the Scottish bloke)
You guys totally ruled it this past saturday. I will definitely be catching your show again. I do show up in the gallery looking really bad while playing tambourine. It was fun watching you bring my friend up on stage and nickname him Phillipe. Can't wait for the next show.
Marko
Who Says You Can't Get your Groove on at COWBOY!!!!

All I can say is you guys were on FIIIIIIRE!!! It was like a mini rave-just when one killer song ended another one started.

PS-who would think Sweet Caroline is such a rocking dance tune-thanx for sharing the stage w/me!!!
Lisa Rosinski
I would like to take this opportunity to thank you and your band members for such a good performance at Cabanna Jacks. I would have thanked you personally that night had I have had the opportunity, however since I didn't I will now. I was a part of the group of firefighters whose table you got up and danced on during the first part of the show, very impressive I might add. My partner has now refused to wash his ball cap ever again. As well my other partner was the one who you danced with while singing The First Cut is the Deepest, (He is still in shock by the way) We thought it was the alcohol, but since it hasn't worn off, we figure it was you!.. lol. Like I said, from all of the Liberty Township Firefighters in attendance, Thank-you and keep up the good work!!!!
Mickey, Jason, and Chad

Hey Avril, I just wanted to let you and the band know how much our family enjoyed you and your band at my step sister's wedding this past August. We had a really good time and really enjoyed the music. It was a fun evening. Everyone at the wedding was talking about how good the band was. We hope to catch the band at one of your upcoming events.

Thanks for a great evening!

Just wanted to tell you what an awesome band you guys are. I saw you for the 1st time on Thursday at the opening of Boneyard and hope to make it up to see you again tonight. Your vocals and energy are amazing. I love the variety of music you do as well.

I have been telling all my friends how great you guys are. You definitely made a fan out of me.!
Heidi Birch
We cannot say enough about how pleased we were with Run Avril Run for our wedding reception. When I heard them play out at a bar, I remember stopping and thinking to myself. This is the Band I Want!

At our wedding reception, during the dinner and introductions they were extremely classy. The music was tasteful and they did not use any "phony" props like some "typical wedding bands" do. The dance floor was packed from the moment the food was cleared from the tables until they were kicking us out of the hall. Avril had everyone from my youngest cousins to my grandmas on the floor all at once with everyone singing along. In fact, I didn't even bustle my train because I wanted to be there every minute the band was playing and people were dancing. Even though Run Avril Run made the wedding, they were careful to not steal the show. We knew we made the right choice when at the end of the night, all the remaining guests, chanted "One More Song, One More Song." We would choose them all over again!
Melanie and Steve Spicer
We had seen Run Avril Run several times before our wedding and we just knew that they would make our wedding the celebration we always wanted. It was fun, energetic, and everyone was dancing the entire night! We had a blast and know that the band was a huge part of keeping the party going. Thanks guys!
Jaime and Rob Lurie
If you are planning a wedding or any other party, Run Avril Run is the best band you can hire. They have so much energy and play the best music - you won't want the party to end!
Elissa and Nathan Zegura
Run Avril Run MADE our wedding! We'd been to so many weddings and heard the same stuff everywhere. Run Avril Run was different! They were so exciting and engaging and had everyone dancing and on their feet all night, slow and fast. They appealed to all ages. Even my grandparents and their friends were on their feet all night. People STILL talk about our wedding band. Now THAT'S a wedding to remember.
