Here's what several clients had to say about Narrow Gauge:

"Thank you! You guys are great!"

Jenna Bush (daughter of former President George W. Bush) Wedding Rehearsal, Crested Butte, Colorado 8/09

"Narrow Gauge is a fantastic band! Your performance at my daughter's wedding was a smash! Everyone enjoyed listening and dancing to your music. I had several guests come up to me asking who the band is and saying that they so enjoyed your music!

I want to thank you for the phone calls and emails in regard to scheduling, set-up and planning of the music from the cocktail hour through the very last song. You really took the time to ensure that all the music was carefully selected -- along with the music during the breaks. The combination of country and rock was quite a hit.

Next, I would like to thank you for your professionalism. It was quite evident during the set-up of the band equipment, the conversations with our family during the event to ensure that "all" was going as planned, and making sure that the the guests were engaged in the music and having a great time.

Most of all, we are most appreciative of the fact that all our guests had a wonderful time due to the atmosphere Narrow Gauge created. I've never seen so many people dancing, laughing and enjoying themselves so much on the dance floor. Many said that this was the best wedding they have ever attended!

I wish you continued success. Thanks again Jim, for all you did for us." Ahna Steiner Breckenridge Wedding June 2008

Dear Jim,

We were very happy with your services. You took care of all the set up and tear down as well as any issues during the night. This goes for the cocktail/dinner music as well. All of your musicians were really friendly and flexible (i.e. having six girls up on stage to sing) and your fun attitude was much appreciated. You also did an excellent job keeping the wedding on track (i.e. getting the dancing started) without pressuring us to follow a time line exactly. Most importantly though, the music was great and there was never an empty dance floor...or even a sparsely populated one! It was by far one of the best parties I've been to, and to have it be our wedding too was more that we could have asked for."

Thanks,

Kyler and Emily Brown

"Jim and the Band were perfect! Their attention to detail and their ability to work with us was great. This event was a huge success, the guys from Narrow Gauge are flawless and a joy to work with. I would recommend them to any and all!"

Gary M. Hewlett Packard

"We hired Narrow Gauge for our wedding. They showed up early even with a huge Colorado snowstorm. The music was excellent and all of the guests were very happy. They really helped make the night a memorable experience for everyone."

Pamela D. Sapphire Celebrations Voted Denver's Top Wedding Coordinator for 2007

To Whom It May Concern:

On September 20 and 21 we hired a band of unknown, (to us), quality called Narrow Gauge, for a family get together at my J BAR M Ranch in Ridgeway, Colorado. To say the least - they did a magnificent job for us. Their music and songs gave us two days of enjoyment and friendship. At one point, during the first evening, I turned to my cousin on my left (a doctor and musician), and commented, "These guys are very good". His answer, "They are not good, they are great!" That was the opinion of myself and all our guests. "They were great."
