  The Bergmann’s

  I recently had the most incredible wedding at Hans Fahden. Eric Symons played the violin during the cocktail and ceremony. He was so polite and easy to talk to. He played beautifully and I was truly amazed how well he performed Love Story by Taylor Swift as I walked down the aisle! All of my guest loved him & couldn’t get enough of his amazing talent! Thank you, Eric Symons, for making our dreams come true! ✨🍷🎉

  Simply the best

  Eric was such a pleasure to work with! He Started chatting with us early on, gave us plenty of options and helped us build the most perfect custom wedding ensemble for our ceremony and cocktail hour. He was super attentive, honest, and flexible. We gave him a list of our favorite songs and he worked his magic to craft these into songs with the ensemble. He knows what works well and what sounds good together. We would highly recommend Eric for any wedding- he’s the best!

  Incredible talent made for an incredible night!

  I can't Thank Eric Symons, Misa Malone, or All Star Juke Box enough! They were absolutely incredible and made our wedding a night to remember. From the song arrangement, to musical talent, their incredible voices, and adding in song requests it made for the perfect night of dancing! Thank You for everything! It made our special day so much more memorable and we are so appreciative that you were a part of our wedding day!

  Worked with Eric on my October wedding, and he pulled my vision together perfectly! When I initially shared the idea that i had for music, it was a bit out of the box, and not something he had heard of before, but he knew he people who could make it happen and made sure the sound was perfect even when we had to relocate to a new venue at the last minute due to the Napa/Sonoma wildfires. I am so grateful to have had his help!

  Eric went above and beyond to make us feel confident and heard at every stage of our planning; he was incredibly responsive to all of our inquiries and coordinated a world-class group of musicians to make our wedding day everything we ever dreamed it would be! Two months later we're still receiving compliments on the musicians' performance!

  Our family planned a very complicated outdoor reception at the Silverado Resort. the event required 2 separate bands at 2 different outdoor locations. Eric did a fantastic job in recommending both bands and coordinating the music between the cocktail hour, dinner and dance for the reception. Eric spent a tremendous amount of time working with us on the logistics and made tremendous efforts in ensuring that all went well. He has a great sense of the intended musical atmosphere for the particular event. I would highly recommend Simply the Best Entertainment!

  We used Simply The Best Entertainment to book a wedding band and ceremony music. They simply did not disappoint!
  
  To start Eric Symons is amazing to work with. As an industry veteran working hundreds of ceremonies with all types of couples, he knows the ropes and was able to guide us through the process with ease and confidence. He is an extremely talented (professional) musician classically trained in jazz and flamenco but can play any style requested. Eric learned a handful of new songs to accommodate us and they sounded spectacular. He set the mood for the ceremony and cocktail hour and really got the night started in the best way possible.
  
  I'd recommend Simply the Best Entertainment and Eric to any couple looking for a group of true professionals that are easy to work with and can customize the music to fit your wedding. They were top-notch and will not disappoint!!

  While planning our wedding, we were referred to Simply the Best Entertainment when we were looking for musicians to play at our ceremony. We wanted a violinist and a guitarist and had a couple specific songs in mind that we wanted to use for the processional and recessional. Everything about our experience was great! We were able to book Eric - the owner who is a fantastic guitarist - and Richard - an accomplished violinist. Eric spent a good amount of time on the phone with us talking about what kinds of music we liked and why we had chosen the songs that we had. Eric did the arrangements himself and did a fantastic job translating the songs for guitar and violin. Our guests - which included more than a few musicians - all raved about the quality of the performance and the selection of music that they played before and after the ceremony.
  
  We loved their arrangements so much that we ended up hiring Eric and Richard to do a studio recording of the processional and recessional so that we'd have them to forever remind us of the day.

  Wonderful experience!

  Eric is really easy to work with and truly cares about finding the best entertainment for your event. He was always responsive, followed up regularly, and was generally just a great partner for my event.

  When planning our wedding we knew that we wanted it to be very music oriented by having all live music. Our wedding planner recommended Eric Symons and Simply The Best Entertainment and we could not be happier! He recommended the musicians based on what we were looking for and they were AMAZING! Our guests were blown away. We had a string quartet, Garden Strings, play during our ceremony and cocktail hour, and we had Hip Service play our reception and they were able to provide a Jazz Trio play during dinner. It was perfect! We loved that their song lists included a mix of contemporary, classic rock and so much more! I really regret not hiring someone to video tape the wedding only because I wish someone had been there to video the live music.

  Simply the Best Entertainment was an incredible vendor for our ceremony and dinner music. Eric Symons was extremely helpful in choosing an excellent string quartet. He was prompt and very pleasant, I couldn't imagine working with anyone else. Our music was incredible and we received excellent feedback from our guests. I would highly recommend Simply the Best Entertainment.

  We used Eric Symons and his company, Simply the Best Entertainment, for our ceremony, cocktail reception, and dinner.
  
  Eric put together a trio of musicians specific to the genre of music that we wanted them to play. And they did a great job of playing a very eclectic mix of music from the 1940's through current musical acts like Adele and Coldplay. I love the melody of Christina Perri's "1,000 Years" and wanted my bridesmaids to walk in to that. Eric was able to have the musicians learn an acoustic version specifically for our wedding.
  
  I have had several people tell me that the band was the perfect background for the dinner.
  
  A couple of days before the wedding, we realized we needed a wireless microphone and speakers for the ceremony. Eric was able to procure them for us quickly and easily.

  We definitely recommend Eric at Simply the Best Entertainment, he has an extensive selection of entertainment options to meet almost anyone's needs. Great One-Stop shopping! He even found our Can-Can dancers, and they were a huge hit at our wedding party.
