As the father of the Bride, I would have to say Showtime Party Band was better than great. Our guests don’t ever recall dancing so much at a wedding. I will definitely recommend and hire you again!

I had the pleasure of going to a wedding where the Showtime Party Band was performing a month ago here in the Ottawa region and they did a fabulous job. They are an experienced group of artists that were able to provide an exceptional level of musical entertainment. The band performed the latest top 40 hits as well as older songs that were hits in past era's.. This broad performance song base got everyone at the wedding on the dance floor and into the music from the younger crowd to the seniors. After the party was wrapped up, I had a chance to meet some of the members of the Showtime Party Band and they were very polite and friendly individuals. I would strongly recommend this band to anyone, from hosts that are looking for some music that their guests can dine to, to hosts that would like to get their guests on their feet dancing.

Once again, Showtime did it for us. The guests were up and dancing the entire event. Of all the planning and worry that goes into a fundraiser, the least of my worries is this band choice. No matter which event I hire Showtime Party Band for, they deliver beyond what is asked of them. What a bunch of great ladies and gentlemen! Thank you !!

Hopewell’s “Love Your Life” Valentine’s Gala
We can’t thank you enough for everything you did for the third Hopewell “Love Your Life” Valentine’s Gala. Once again, your fabulous entertainment made the Gala the success that it was. The Showtime Party Band was certainly the big draw for the event!
Your generosity helps us to keep Hopewell open to offer hope, support and information for those struggling with an eating disorder. As you know, we receive no ongoing funding, the funds raised from events such as this are essential to our continued operation. We hope that you will consider working with us again next year.
Our heartfelt thanks

Air Canada Christmas Party
To the Showtime Party Band members,
Air Canada parties will never be the same again.
Thank you again for an amazing performance. I had some initial worries on how a live band would be accepted at this event and you made my worries seem so trivial. The sets you played were nothing short of perfection and the floor was filled to capacity at every song. From the female singers, to the male singers, to the instrumentalists..everything was exactly what I pictured for this event. Brilliant! The only downside was that it ended at 1am.
I can only hope that your band is the band of the century and I have no doubt you will achieve this title! I am proud to say I know you!!!!

I have yet to hear anything bad about the band.....the guests keep asking us who you guys were because they thought you were amazing. We truly appreciate all the hard work that you did and how well you learned the songs for us! You were a huge success on our day.
We will be recommending you to all our family and friends.
with love

It was a great to have you at the 25th anniversary celebration of the Madonna Della Risurrezione Church festival this past weekend and we hope to see you back next year. We just wanted to let you know that the Showtime band sounded fantastic. All of you were having such a great time on stage and you can see that you all enjoy doing what you do. Friends of ours that have never heard you before(believe it or not!!)thought you were amazing too. As you know, we have both heard your band on many occasions and you never cease to amaze us on the great selection of tunes you have and how entertaining you are. A special mention to singers who always manage to get the crowd going with the energy they also have on stage!!
We both wish you the continued success that you all deserve!!

Once again, Showtime has done it! They wowed the crowd and they never left the dance floor. Thank you for being a big part of our 22nd annual Daffodil Gala. Every year we encourage new people to come out and join us for this wonderful fundraiser and we do not want to disappoint anyone with the evenings' events. From the beginning, you accomodated us with beautiful background dinner music, right into the evening with fantastic dance music. Our new guests along with our faithful annual supporters were swinging and hopping and truly enjoyed themselves. We made a great choice with Showtime Party Band and I would not hesitate to choose them once again for any party!!! Hats off to you!!

I wanted to express our heartfelt gratitude for making the 2010 Festa delle Coppie Dinner Dance Fundraiser at the Centurion Conference Centre a resounding success! The food and the service were superb ..all went very well ...imagine we were serving dessert at 9:00 ; we insisted on good and fast service and less speeches because we know how the crowd wanted to dance and enjoy your music.
The Showtime Party Band made the evening great with the energy from the wisely chosen repertoire ..the music was extraordinary as evidenced by the dance floor which was full at all times. It totally rocked; You are an awesome band and I know for a fact that many people attending will be calling you for their upcoming events. I have heard nothing but good things about the whole event ...it was electrifying ...thanks a million again. Until the next time!

The New Year's Party was fantastic.. The band started playing as dinner was being served and kept us going until way past mid-night. As well, the music was continuously changing, obviously to keep us on the dance floor. As an added bonus, all the band members seemed to flow from one song to another, as if it was of second nature to them. Bravo!.... Well done!....

Showtime Party Band was the chosen entertainment for our Cancer Fundraiser in April and the evening was a hit. Our high profile guests were amazed by Showtime’s talents. Some of the comments I received were: “This is the best band we have seen at any function” -- “Fantastic” -- “Where do we get in touch with them?”.-- “We want them at our next event”. All in all, Showtime Party Band will be contacted soon for our next function.

We'd like to thank Showtime Party Band for helping to make our wedding reception so memorable!
We've lost count of the number of guests who told us how much they LOVED the band. The few people who were not up on the dance floor stayed long into the evening just to listen to the music. Everyone was beyond impressed by the range of songs and talent (vocals and instruments) of everyone on stage.
We would like to thank you especially for being so accommodating - by learning a new song for our first dance, surprising our parents with a dedication and, despite playing longer than planned, performing an “encore” at the end of the night! Everything was spot on!
It was a pleasure dealing with you in the course of preparing for our wedding, and we look forward to the next SPB event. Cheers!,

Anyone looking for a great party band, search no more. Showtime Party Band had crowds up dancing the night away at the MDR Annual Festival Saturday. I was amazed how easy it was for them to perform for a church crowd and get these people moving and shaking. They had music for all age groups. What a fantastic evening and would not hesitate for a moment to get these professionals out at my next celebration. How about Whiteshade’s Anniversary guys? Guys!!

They entertained the guests with great music and their energy filled the room. You could see how much fun they were having performing for the crowd and the dance floor was full all night. I will recommend them to my friends and associates in Montreal.
Put on your dancing shoes and be ready to have a good time with this amazing band. The name says it all "SHOWTIME".

I was part of a large group attending the Daffodil dance fundraiser at the St. Anthony’s Soccer Club on Saturday, April 25, 2009. Showtime Party Band supplied the entertainment – and we were definitely entertained! They played beautiful music throughout the dinner so people started dancing early on in the evening and never stopped. Music was a good mix for young and old, the Beatles’s set was a big hit, ballroom dancers got to cha cha, waltz, rhumba and even mambo throughout the evening. The band members were lively and engaging and clearly having a good time, vocals were superb. Lots of fun for everyone.

Hopewell had the great fortune to work with the Showtime Party Band for our first annual Valentine’s Day Gala.

We attended the Hopewell Valentine’s Gala and we realized that there are bands who make music, and then there are bands who make memories.
You can be sure that with "Showtime Party Band" people will continue to talk about the music, the dancing, and the fun long after your event is over. If you are tired of hearing your family/friends complain that the music played "wasn't their style" then you need Showtime - because they play EVERY style!
Put your dancing shoes on and enjoy!

I had the fortunate experience to witness the talents of the Showtime Party Band. I have seen many bands in the past years, and the truth is, Showtime exceeds all expectations and they really know how to get everyone on the dance floor. Their high energy is very contagious. The music is so professional and carries extremely well and is most compatible for all ages. The vocals are professional, both male and female singers have the ability to grab the attention of the audience. The variety of music is also exceptional. The band members, at the same time, are very personable and that radiates the room when they perform!!
I would attend all their gigs , given the chance. I would also be proud to bring all my friends and family to also experience the good time you are guaranteed to have with this awesome band. The name of their band says it all: SHOWTIME!!!!!

"By far, the greatest band I've ever heard play at a wedding. Fortunately enough, it was ours. The people danced the whole night through because of the entertaining, lively and energetic music they performed. They sounded so extraordinary that we, at times, lost focus of whether or not a CD was playing. They were accommodating, sensitive, helpful and insightful. They catered to our every need. Clearly, I can go on for days. I just want to thank you all for making the biggest day in our lives that much more amazing!"

We loved the Showtime Party Band! Everyone at our wedding raved about them and the dance floor was packed all night. Showtime was able to feel the crowd and provide music accordingly. They all have very much talent working together in the business of making music. We appreciated their ability to be flexible and professional in their dealings with us. We felt very relaxed planning with them and having them perform for us.

Tucson's - September 5, 2008 - "Be aware... Put on your dancing shoes, people! It is impossible to stay sitting at your table just to listen! This band is so great, you'll swear you are listening to the originals. Their repertoire is so vast; they have a little something for everybody. The power in the voice of the two lady singers is unbelievable! Very impressive and very entertaining.
Good time guaranteed :-)

I had the opportunity to see "Show Time" at their showcase event at Tucson's on September 5, 2008. I was really blown away by how amazingly creative and versatile they were. I have seen many bands over the years and I have discovered that a good band can usually play well and has a good repertoire, but a GREAT band, takes it up a notch -they have a commanding intensity and artistry that comes along with being skilled, but also they project a certain chemistry and sexy smooth synchronicity that takes a great deal of work to accomplish, but looks absolutely effortless on stage.
"Showtime" can switch easily from one style to another in a unique and spirited way and they had almost everyone in that room up dancing, it was really wonderful. If I ever have to plan an event, "Showtime" is my number one band choice!!!
