Dear Doug,
Every single person has raved about Rembrandt. No one can believe that we hired you without seeing the band in person. Cindy recommended you and after listening to your sample, we just had a good feeling... and you absolutely blew us away!

In addition to the incredible music, you were such a pleasure to work with! You were attentive and returned emails and phone calls immediately. You have no idea how rare that was while wedding planning, so thank you! You were organized and helpful throughout the entire process so I never had to worry.

Please thank the band members for bringing their incredible talent and for making our wedding reception unforgettable!

All the Best,

Ashley and Eric (Bride & Groom)

Dear Doug,

We are writing to let you know just how pleased we are that we were able to have you provide the entertainment for our daughter’s wedding! She had heard your band before and raved about how great you were! I have to say that everything about our experience of you and your band, from the planning process through to your execution at the event exceeded our expectations. You went above and beyond what could have been your call of duty to help us enable a special sing along and the quality and artistry of your band was truly exceptional! We received many compliments regarding the exceptional quality of your band during the event, and in some cases, repeatedly, as your band played different genres throughout the night. We couldn’t be more pleased with what you provided and would recommend you to anyone who is looking for a great band experience.

Sincerely,
Fred and Yael Rosenbloom

I first saw Rembrandt play at a friend’s wedding in 2004. The band was half the size it is now but they were just as good – so good in fact that I mentally filed the experience away and thought to myself "one day, if I ever get married, I’m going to have them play at my wedding."


Well, that one day came last year – in July 2014. We hired the band and they were BRILLIANT!! The best decision we made. Our guests had such a good time they were thanking us for inviting them to the wedding. And one year on our friends and family are still talking about the "amazing band at Tammie and Anant’s wedding."

Doug and the rest of the band are very professional and very easy to work with – a pleasure in fact.

I think they are fantastic and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a live band.

If I have my way they will be playing at my 40^th birthday party!!!

Thanks again to Doug and the band for making our wedding party a night we will always remember!!

We began planning our wedding celebration four months before our big day of July 12, 2014. We envisioned a joyous occasion that placed particular emphasis on the word "celebration." We hoped to create a contrast of rustic elegance with sophistication and class displayed through impressive sights and sounds of a top rate band. We knew this meant enlisting the services of an experienced emcee, outstanding musicians and singers, and a cohesive group of professionals who could truly deliver. This perfectly describes our choice for the evening’s entertainment, Rembrandt of Fine Artists Entertainment.
　
We contacted Doug Waitman, who served as band booker, manager, emcee, keyboardist, and our point person. He was quick and thorough with his responses, exceptionally attentive to detail, considerate of our needs and very reassuring that they knew what they were doing. Cut to four months later the night of our wedding; he was not kidding! Our dance floor was - and we are not exaggerating -completely filled with people dancing from the moment right after our first dance all they way to when the venue kicked us out, with the exception of toasts and dinner service, all seamlessly announced and managed by Doug and his band’s direction.
　
Three months later we still hear guests say, "Where did you find that band?" and "That band was the best wedding band I’ve ever seen!" They looked sharp, acted professionally and played tight with true improvisational sound. Their preparedness, ability to perfectly perform various ranges of musical genre and their personnel’s multi-talented skills in instrumentation and vocal harmonizing is what really set them apart. Most of all they were fully aware of our setting, our preferences and in expertly handling much more than just the "set list."
Looking back, we couldn’t be happier with our decision in working with Rembrandt.
　
It was Rembrandt above all, which exceeded our ambitious, lofty expectations.
We recommend them without reservation and encourage anyone looking for a professional band to check them out…immediately!

"Rembrandt" was one of the highlights of our wedding. Our guests were very impressed and could not stop talking about the band. The band was able to play a variety of songs - true to the original artists. You guys sound so great that guests could not believe it was NOT the real artist. Thanks for learning our first dance song which was in Spanish. The "Evolution of Rap" was awesome and my only regret is that I wish someone had caught that composition on video. Without a doubt, we definitely would use Rembrandt again!

Doug,



The very first thing we did when our daughter announced her engagement was to call you. You see, we already experienced two weddings and a debutante ball with Rembrandt and knew that the single most important vendor, ahead of even the venue, was the music and the performers. Our daughter Julie is 27 years old and has been to many weddings. She also is a professional dancer and loves music. She wanted a group that could captivate and audience ranging from their 20's to grandparents in their 80's. It worked: whereas people, especially the older ones, tend to leave the reception after the cake cutting, our 160 plus group stayed to the last dance. You worked with us to incorporate our family's toasts and tributes and tastes in music into your timeline while keeping everyone on the floor all night long. Your performers became part of the party. To say that everyone had a great time is an understatement. Thank you for making our daughter's wedding all that we hoped for and more.

Again, thank you and our best to you,

Doug & The Rembrandts Team,
This email is long overdue! We wanted to write you all to say THANK
YOU for everything you did for our wedding night. You fulfilled our
dream of having the perfect band at our wedding. The feedback from our
guests has been absolutely incredible. Family and friends have told us
that the band made the party. Doug not only were you a pleasure to
work with, but your team was professional and pleasurable as well. As
we working on booking vendors for our wedding, you were our first and
very early "booking" and we don't regret our decision for one moment.
Thank you for helping make our wedding night an unforgettable one. You
really are a hidden gem! I have three siblings - we will definitely be
seeing you again!
