Regarding CDE artist Al Holland
** WHAT THEY’RE WRITING ABOUT US **
Well, Lindsey and Jared’s “Fairy Tale” wedding was a success and, along with the special couple, Al was the hit of the evening.
EVERYONE was surprised and THRILLED. He was PERFECT. Don’t tell Gene but, I think I have fallen in love with Al - ha ha. He is
FABULOUS and everyone thoroughly enjoyed listening and dancing to his music. We would like to extend a thanks to Al but, do not
have his address. I know when Lindsey and Jared return from their honeymoon, they too would like to send a note. Would you have
his mailing address And, we’d love to have a schedule of his upcoming performances so we can listen to his sweet/smooth tunes!!!!!
Again, thanks for all your help and cooperation in making L & J’s wedding an extra special one. We will certainly be in contact with
you again about Al performing at other functions we will be associated with. He is a “special friend” we’d love to keep in contact with!
Sincerely, Gene & Sherry Zvolensky and the “New” Lindsey and Jared Farchione
From: Jason Chaffey - Wellpoint Health Systems - Regarding The Surf City All-Stars
I have seen the Beach Boys and Jan & Dean many times. The Surf City Allstars sounded better, to be honest, and had an even
better show than all of them. You guys are incredible!
Regarding CDE artist Monroe Powell - 05/25/03
We were lucky enough to see you in concert at Lon Morris College in Jacksonville, Texas a year or so ago. My husband and I took
my parents and our two teenagers. It was wonderful to be able to go to a concert with them that we all enjoyed! Thanks! You put on
such a wonderful show! It was the first concert that my parents had ever attended. I enjoyed watching them watch you perform. That
was priceless! Thanks again for being such a showman. We really enjoyed watching you and your group perform!
Sincerely, Bob & Beth White, George & Faye Helton
From: Amy Raspa - limo driver - Pam Darden’s Marvelettes Revue
Dear Miss Darden,
I was your Limo driver to the Philadelphia Airport from Manahawkin NJ this past Sunday morning. Thank You for being one of the
nicest celebrities I have ever met! As a cook in Atlantic City for the past 30 odd years, I have met some famous people. Some have
been just a passing “Hello”, others have been in extended conversations. Isn’t it nice to know you rate among the tops of all these
people I hope I drive you again if and when you come back to the South Jersey area. It was a pleasure.

From: Tammy Barber on behalf of Beach Ball Found. / South Carolina Ballett - Surf City All-Stars
The event was spectacular! The weather was perfect, the food was outstanding, the nine open bars (including the five specialty
bars) were awesome...and the Surf City All Stars rocked the house!
We had over 1,500 patrons, two magazines, two newspapers, three TV stations and two radio stations attend. The trees on the
grounds were covered in white lights (loaned by the City of Greenville), we had hundreds of stars hanging from trees, décor bounding
beach balls everywhere, tiki Gods with flaming torches, bubble machines, etc.,etc, etc.
You can speak with the band, but I am sure they had a total blast. After they performed, they freshened-up, changed clothes, (they
were free to hang out in the rec room downstairs which is where they chilled before they performed) but instead, they went out, walked
around the grounds to visit all of the fifteen restaurants’ tents, talk to people, etc. and had the best time.
Sunday the band called from the airport just before they flew out and David told me the band wanted me to know that they all agreed
it was “the smoothest run, most visually exciting, most hospitable event they had ever played in their careers.” WOW...they didn’t have
to call us back at all...what a wonderful thing to say and do. They said they’d play it again next year if we wanted them. :) We had
Williamson-Evens here filming the event and we will send you a copy for your files. It was OUTSTANDING! We are SO pleased...and
now...the only thing I need is one week at a spa to recoup from the 10 months of planning. :)
Thanks so much for all your help...I could not have done it without your partnership. We’ll be talking soon about Beach Ball
2006...any ideas Tammy PS: Hope to see YOU at Beach Ball 2006. :)
From: Rose Bernal-Rundle, GM of the Harborside Event Center, Ft. Myers FL - December 11, 2002
As the new General Manager of Harborside Event Center, I have been working with Celebrity Direct Entertainment to assemble an
“Oldies Series” that not only brings amazing talent downtown to Fort Myers but also offers it at an affordable price without compromise
to quality. When presented with the opportunity to bring “live” events downtown, I began to ask many of my colleagues and community
leaders what their opinions were on the subject. Unanimously, everyone has shown both interest and excitement knowing that this is
yet another positive step in the Downtown Redevelopment Plan. Many businesses have expressed interest in cross-promotion as well
as sponsorship. Having promoted several hundred concerts in Miami and Houston, I believe this enthusiasm indicates that the
residents and businesses of Fort Myers not only are interested in “live events” but also in the rejuvenation of Harborside Event Center
and the downtown area. [ ]
As you can imagine in the concert business, TALENT + AFFORDABILITY + UNCOMPROMISED QUALITY = “SUCCESS”. I believe
Celebrity Direct Entertainment has assembled all the components necessary to promote an amazing series for our community. On
behalf of the City of Fort Myers, I thank you for your support of the Harborside Event Center and hope you will join me on Friday,
January 17th at 7:30pm in supporting the inaugural event of the DOWNTOWN CONCERT SERIES, the “Elvis Presley Birthday Bash.”
TESTIMONIAL
TIMONIALS
From: Leigh Kendall, Consultant, City of West Palm Beach Mayor’s Office - re: Wilson & Sase’ (24U) 09/13/05
Thank you so much for providing entertainers “Wilson Williams & Sase’” for our Sunday at the Meyer outdoor concert series. We had
one of our biggest crowds ever and a great time was had by all! We received so MANY compliments after the show and I look forward
to working with you again in the future.
From: KW Plastics Recycling, Troy, AL - re: Al Holland solo performance
Al was just wonderful!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!! Although the weather wasn’t ideal, I can’t imagine another performer being
as flexible or high spirited. Among the audience was my father, a bit of a musician himself with a critical ear, and Billy Sherrill, famous
country music producer & writer of most recently named #1 song of all time, “Stand By Your Man”. He is most noted as being the agent
for Tammy Wynette & George Jones. I didn’t tell Al this before hand, of course & he doesn’t like to be recognized but the reason I
share this with you is that he truly was impressed with Al. I wanted you to know (please pass this on to him as well) that everyone,
including the “experts” were very complimentary. If you could, please send me a business card, as I would like to have your contact
info. as well as Al’s name for future. We will definitely keep you in mind for upcoming needs.
Thank you for fast-tracking this along & for your great recommendation.
I hope to keep in touch, Stephanie
“Adding a personal touch to the entertainment industry!”
