"Hi Friedel,

Van ons kant kan ons net duisend dankies sê vir jou wonderlike musiek die aand. Sonder dit sou die aand nie dieselfde atmosfeer gehad het nie. Dankie vir jou vriendelikheid, van die eerste e-mail navraag af regdeur tot die aand self. Jy was so professioneel, maar met 'n wonderlike persoonlike aanslag.

Die restuarant het jou besonderhede gevra, en elke liewe gas van my het vir my kom sê hoe wonderlik jou musiek is. Ek weet jy het n baie lang dag gehad en dat jy doodmoeg moes wees, ek hoop jy weet hoe baie ek dit waardeer het dat jy kans gesien het om my funksie ook te doen na n troue.

Jy is n absolute ster!

Wow! Jy het die dag help maak. Jou musiek het by die ouderdomsgroep gepas. Baie dankie vir jou bydra tot 'n baie suksesvolle 60ste feesvieringe. Jou keuse van musiek was puik, asook die uitvoering daarvan. Jy is geseend met 'n wonderlike talent.

Persoonlik is daar geen instrument wat sulke wonderlike musiek kan voortbring, soos 'n saksofoon nie. En dat jy spontaan saam met Rochelle ingeval het.... Ag man dit was awesome!

I would like to take this opportunity on behalf of myself & my hubby, to thank you for playing at our wedding on the 26th of February 2011. Everything from setup to the end was exceptional and very professional.

You have really made a fantastic impression on all my guests, it was not what they expected as I have kept this a secret to the day of the wedding. There were endless compliments about the way you played, as this never happens at an Indian Wedding, LOL! By you making the appearance with your Saxophone really put the cherry on top for my fabulous wedding.

It was an absolute pleasure having you there and we look forward to using you again in the near future.

Thanks again & take care!!!

Birchwood Hotel & OR Tambo Conference Centre, Benoni - 2009-11-22

" Dear Friedel,

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for the service rendered to me, my Daughter, family and friends on Sunday 22nd November 2009.

When my Daughter decided that she wanted a Saxophone player to play at her Garden wedding at the Birchwood Hotel, and also to play a Van Morrison composition as I walked her down the isle, I was quite sceptical, but your music came across, well planned, professional and beautiful.

Your professionalism and the way you arranged your sound equipment at the service and then at the reception was outstanding, you kept our guests so well entertained while we were having the usual photos taken, and continued until late into the evening. We loved your arrangements with a large variation of music from the Golden oldies to the modern numbers.

Thank you for being so reliable and on time, an absolute pleasure, you most definitely added to the success of the Wedding. It would be my pleasure to recommend you at anytime.

Regards
