Freilach did an outstanding job at my daughter’s wedding on May 17, 2015. We had started planning the musical aspects of the affair very early because we were all aware that the various members of the wedding party had distinct and sophisticated tastes. Moreover, the venue we had chosen (Capitale, in New York City) was a challenging space because of its high ceilings and hard surfaces. Choosing the music and singers for the event was a collaborative process, with my daughter and her fiancé making many of the choices, while my wife and I made others. Avrumi Schreiber made sure to visit the venue in order to get a sense of the challenges it presented and guided us through the complexities of selection and educating us in the process. He had a well tuned sense of how a particular musical piece might sound in place and gently steered us in the optimal direction. Eventually, our choices expanded to include a multitude of Hebrew songs, a healthy selection of classical and jazz music, a bit of swing and an extended series of social dance music sets. The band handled all of these with aplomb. We were particularly pleased with the music at the chuppah. These pieces presented particular challenges as each group in the wedding party walked down to specifically chosen pieces, none of which were repeated and all of them unusual selections. The choices ranged from the sweet to the dramatic and required a fair amount of rearranging in order to accommodate the instrument availability. Our guests were thrilled with the result. In short, Freilach was professional, able to solve the inevitable problems in a creative fashion and thorough in their execution. The end result was wonderful.

We were awesomely happy. Everyone was talking about the music.

In planning our daughter's wedding, she expressed to us that the most important thing to her was the music. Our daughter is a musician/singer (for women only), and good quality music is very important to her. The Freilach Band was recommended to us as THE premiere wedding band. We live in the Chabad community of Pittsburgh, where the community enjoys a very freilach leibadik music set and the dancing is non stop! Planning the wedding with Freilach was extremely pleasant and they went out of their way to give us everything we needed. We and our guests were enthralled with the bands talent in playing jazz sets pre-dancing, and in keeping up with the long dance sets as well as the special songs our family performed. We highly recommend Freilach, as we couldn't be more thrilled with the atmosphere, energy and first rate talent they supplied for our very special simcha!

Just saw you guys play a few nights ago in New Haven. I really like you guys, and I thought it would be nice to compliment you on your music. Keep on rocking!!!

Mr Schreiber-from my vantage pt everything was amazing! Can't wait to see and hear the video and cd, to experience the whole thing. It was a pleasure working with you and appreciate all of the effort that went into it!! It was such a meaningful, special time for our family and friends! Happiness was in the air, the mood and in everyone's heart! Baruch Hashem. The band was professional and made beautiful music and sound. We would be happy to recommend you to anyone.
