Gary Fong 50th Birthday Party
Malibu Estate
50 Guests
I have used Rembrandt for different special events for 27 years! From
my wedding in 1983 to my second wedding three years ago at our ranch
in Kelowna, British Columbia Canada (yes, we flew all of the band
members to Canada because they are THAT good). And my wife recently
hired them (15 piece band) for my 50th birthday party in Malibu. Yes
we had under 30 guests, but the band was that worth it. And were they
overpowering? No, one thing about a great band is if they can play
during dinner hour and the guests can speak at a normal level.
And as a longtime musician, I am just a fan of every artist
individually and collectively as a group. Their energy is infectious
and for a dance floor, there is nothing so fun as to have Rembrandt
playing the most awesome, diverse set of music - anything from Glenn
Miller to the latest popular releases. And they learn requests, too.
We had five lead singers. That doesn't include the bandleader, Doug -
who himself is an amazing singer. This is not a corny "oompah"
wedding band. DJ's don't have the live presence and energy of festive
live music.
This band is a must for any event, large or small. I kid you not,
there is nothing you can do for your event more valuable than hiring
this band. I've probably referred them to over 100 friends and
clients, who have used them.

Braun/Heintz 100th Birthday Party
Langham Hotel-Pasadena
100 Guests
Doug,
We LOVED you guys! Your band made our 100th Birthday Party a wild success. We received many, many compliments on what a great party we had and how great your band was. Several people have asked us for your band's name and wanted to know how we found you.
Rembrandt is a fantastic band that plays fun, party music and really connects with the party guests.
Please, please feel free to attribute any quotes you want to Jeff and me, and feel free to use our names as references. We had a great time at our party and Rembrandt made all the difference. I was thinking of "cheaping out" and hiring a DJ, and I was so glad that I hired Rembrandt.
Doug, I will ask some of our friends for their comments as well, but please know, I think you are the best-kept secret in the Los Angeles for event entertainment. Fun, consummate professionals that deliver results.
Best,
Janet and Jeff

Mitchell/Deschamps Wedding Reception
Fairbanks Ranch Country Club
210 Guests
Hi Doug,
We have had so many compliments on our wedding and the first thing guests asked is "Where did you find that band? They are amazing!" We had a large dance floor and it was filled all night! I have never had seen so many people dancing at an event. Even our older guests, who I did not know could dance, were out there having a blast. The band was so versatile that every generation enjoyed the music. Rembrandt even learned our first dance song at no additional charge. When the wedding was ending the band got an encore and they were so nice and played an additional song. During the planning process Doug always responded quickly to any questions and was very helpful in planning our day of timeline. It was the best money we spent on our wedding. You will not be disappointed!
Take care,
-Lauren & Lionel

Smoker/Grove Wedding Reception
Montage Beverly Hills
135 Guests
Dear Doug and Rembrandt Members,
From the first moment I spoke with Doug Waitman on the phone, he was terrific. My daughter's wedding (Grove/Smoker) November 12th, was in a few weeks and my son and I wanted to do a surprise for the newlyweds on their special day. I wanted to recognize the (Grandparents) along with singing a special song (Grampa) by The Judds and my son was to play the guitar. I explained to Doug that I had never sung before and that I was very scared. He stated that I should continue practicing and that if I was to faint, get emotional, or just plain change my mind on doing this, they (Rembrandt) would carry it on without a hitch. The music they played was enjoyed by all who attended and they still talk about the wedding, as one that will remain in their hearts forever. Having the "Rembrandt Band" as part of the wedding, made the entire event even more beautiful than I could have ever imagined. I must say that although my son and I are not professionals, having Doug and Rembrandt's backing us with our surprise, was one of the best choices we ever made. Thanks Again "Rembrandt", for making our event so very special!

Harty/Tennant Wedding
Big Canyon Country Club-Newport Beach
170 Guests
Doug and Rembrandt Band,
Thank you so much for performing at our August 28, 2010 Wedding. You can definitely tell how great a band is by how many people are on the dance floor and how soon they begin dancing. As you remember, the dance floor was FILLED before dinner was served! We had to ask people to sit down to eat (the bride and groom included!). As soon as dinner was "out of the way", no one left the dance floor the entire night. Your selection was right on for the crowd (half late 20 year olds and half 60+). Even the grandparents danced to Blake Eyed Peas! Your performers were kind, fun and put up with one heck of a crowd (including a bride who demanded a mic and the stage!). I have been to many weddings and will go to many more and I can guarantee that I will never find a band better than you.
Thank you for being a part of our event, our memories, and our fun. Even my 70-year-old dad who was concerned about getting a live band due to the cost said to me "You were right. This band was well worth it!". Thank you for being amazing!
Best,
