"On behalf of Mirvac Hotels & Resorts, we would like to express our sincerest gratitude to yourself and to Daryl Braithwaite and band for a magnificent performance last night at our event at The Sebel Melbourne. The event was a great success, as was Daryl whose interaction with the guests really made the night. The comments we had received last night were nothing but appreciative. Thank you once again and we hope to work with you again in the future."

"Having Simon Kennedy as our MC for our Telstra Sales Kick Off (SKO) was a huge success! Our 700 delegates made up of our sales force and key executives were pumped by the days energy.
Simon kept our flow to get through our key corporate messages in a fun and engaging way. He also happens to be a delightful person to work with behind the scenes."

"Hi Richard, we had a great day on Saturday, we were very lucky with the weather and everyone who attended seemed to enjoy it. We’ve had very good feedback about the band, the songs they played were very appropriate and they sounded beautiful.
Thanks for your help organising, and we’ll keep you in mind for our next function!"

"Steve, once again I find myself coming home from an event ever thankful that you were involved!
The local organizing committee were hosting 3,500 international delegates and the showcase of Australian and New Zealand talent was of upmost importance to them. They have not stopped raving about the performance by TE WAKA RAUKURA! I agree that performance was fantastic! It was colourful and lively and fabulous. In their feedback e-mails regarding the Opening Ceremony they keep commenting on how the New Zealander’s ‘stole the show’. Thank you for ensuring we have the right fit for our entertainment time and time again."

"Hi Nicole, many thanks for your email – I am pleased to report it all went well!
Brendan Berlach and DJ Teejay were a delight to work with – I kept apologising to them though as I did not have much time to spend with them on the night! But Brendan followed clear instructions to commence playing at about 5.20pm which was great, and his set seemed really well received. Teejay was also very professional on the night also.
Many thanks for all your help in the short lead up to our event – its was very much appreciated!
I look forward to working with you again in the future."

Our accordion player was an absolute pleasure to work with on the night, extremely professional and definitely a HIT – especially with our Italian audience. I look forward to hopefully talking again in 2011!"

"Just a quick note to let you know that Teejay was by far the best DJ we've ever had work for us at all of our functions. He was totally brilliant, met all of our requests and even when he didnt have what we needed he went and found it, amazing! I told him when we have another function I would gladly fly him interstate if need-be he was that good! He was an absolute pleasure to deal with and was above and beyond professional. I will be recommending him to all of our friends and family for future events. He is a HUGE asset to your company! Thanks for organising him, he made our evening even more fabulous!"

"I would just like to share with you my comments with regards to “Craic”. They were extremely professional and accommodating to our style of event. There musicianship was amazing and grabbed our guests feet to the dance floor immediately. Their music certainly made our event and I would recommend them to anyone who was looking for entertainment. I will certainly be looking at using Instinct again for future events."

"I just wanted to thank you for the talent you found for our cocktail party and Saturday night dinner. It’s the first time we have had a cocktail party through our trade exhibit and it was a big hit with both the guests and the exhibitors. Bootman Jazz are a nice bunch of guys, great musicians and were perfect for our party. Stan is a caricaturist and comedian rolled into one and Billy amazed everyone. I particularly asked them to pay a bit more attention to our sponsor for the night and they didn’t let me down. The sponsor said she laughed so much at Stan she had a sore face.
Rhythm Brazil were amazing. Even the sound guy at the dinner said they had some instruments he’d never seen and it was so good to see something different at a corporate gala dinner."

"Xparte were so much fun. They had a very very tough crowd, with most guests not dancing or getting involved but this didn't deter their spirit and professionalism. I would recommend Xparte to other companies. I have already been asked by my state event managers who I booked Xparte through. Instinct provide a very good service!”

Actually the music was what keep us all going for the 4 days. They played in extremely hot weather and not once complained (actually they probably did complain but we were ALL complaining about it)."

"Chunky Jam were amazing! They were really flexible with all our timing issues (ran a bit late) and all the song requests. They even accommodated one of our more infamous delegates when we all asked them to get him to ‘sing’ Highway To Hell, which was a big hit!"
Please pass my thanks and praise onto Chris and the band, and the Enigma members (Sonya, Blair, Lizzy and the other lovely girl. So sorry I can’t remember her name!). I didn’t get a chance to thank Enigma before they headed off so send my apologies for this too.
Thanks again. I will be sure to be in touch next time we’re in Melbourne for an event like this."

"I must thank you for the entertainment you recommended and booked for our Achievement Awards on 22 November. The band was great and the showgirls were fantastic, with plenty of really positive feedback from not only my colleagues but guests also. They were very easy to deal with and more than happy to assist with the awards throughout the night. I have no planned theme for next year but will definitely be in touch to discuss the entertainment. Thank you again Rich."

"Venus Music are not only fantastically skills musos, their song selection was absolutely spot-on for our event, and Steve and his band were very easy to deal with, particularly as we had to make some last minute changes to the running order on the day. Venus Music were very professional, very accommodating and very good. I have no hesitation in recommending them for any corporate or social event that requires sophisticated music to set the mood. Please feel free to contact me at the association to verify this testimonial on (02) 9958 2722."

"I would like to take this opportunity to formally thank you for your entertainment recommendations for our recent 2009 Australian Wealth Management Planner Conference, held in Melbourne, from 23–26 February 2009.
The feedback received from our delegates and AWM staff indicated the entertainment on all counts was excellent and made a positive contribution to the success of our Welcome Dinner and Gala Dinner events. We had over 300 delegates and the entertainment either met or exceeded expectations. In particular: The Essentials - they were exactly what we wanted for our Welcome Dinner @ Melbourne Aquarium and a couple of our delegates who consider themselves “jazz aficionados’” commented on how good they were.
Dean Atkison - I wasn’t able to see his act, however delegates said he was quite good.
Dave Grant - he really set the tone for our Gala Dinner. He was absolutely hilarious and all I heard from delegates was how good he was. He followed the brief and entertained the crowd without being rude or offending anyone. He even followed up after the conference with a “thank you for the business” phone call. A professional in my books.
Maranucci Trio - they played nice background jazz during the main part of the sit down dinner and were well received.
Headspace - they were great! They had everyone up dancing and the dance floor was still pretty full at the end of our function with the crowd wanting more. Once again, many compliments were made about Headspace.
All of your recommendations came through with flying colours. This demonstrates you understood me (as the client), my brief and obviously having great talent on your books. Once again, a sincere thank you to Instinct International for your services.

"The band were fantastic. I have been to thirteen Channel 9 parties and Headspace were by far the best received band to date (including 3 years when I played at it!)
They were tight, energetic, interactive, great song choice and sounded deluxe. Thanks heaps."

Glen King - Operations Manager
GTV Nine


"Chris and the boys (Chunky Jam) were just lovely to work with on Friday night. They were very professional and arrived totally equipped - lights and all, which added extra ambiance. I have never seen the NGV Members form a conga line on the dance floor before! They loved it, and were up dancing for most of the night - which is exactly what we planned.
We really appreciate your help with this event - especially with such short notice, so we'll be sure to call you in the first instance from now on."

Hayley Allen

"Thank you so much for your recommendation to go with 'The Urban Playboys' for our Gala Dinner on Friday 5 September. They were a huge success and I would definitely recommend them to others and keep them in mind for any future events we may have coming up. Please thank them personally from all the staff at Maddocks."
Kate Coleridge - Marketing Assistant
Maddocks


"It was an absolute delight working with both of you for our celebratory dinner. In fact, I’m going to miss the witty phone conversations and will have to find another event to make sure I get my ‘fix’!
Julie O’Hara was a sensation and I hope she forgives me for standing her out in the cold! The very talented Headspace/Soul Train were great, and I still feel terrible about asking them to turn it down – the joys of banging about in drafty old convents! For all the extra bits and pieces you did to help make the night enjoyable, I thank you. I particularly loved the ambience the lighting created in the courtyard and Steve’s best efforts to get me to chill out."

Ali Morrow

"Thanks for all the work for our event, especially smoothing out all the ripples along the way.
Your staff and performers were great to have on board, they kept us entertained. We'll certainly recommend your services."

"In both a professional and personal note, I must thank you for your time and effort in assisting me with our Gala Dinner performances. Your commitment to outstanding customer service and delivery is unmatched and certainly appreciated. Additionally, the extra time and effort you put into the execution of the performances on the night, which was well over and above normal delivery, was an act of pure generosity and is extremely appreciated - I sincerely thank you.
This night was brilliant and is receiving great feedback. When the photo’s come in I will be sure to pass them onto you. Thank you once again."

"Just wanted to drop you a short email to thank you for sending us the Samurai performers for our Japanese-themed dinner function on Friday night - they were simply amazing and everyone loved them! Please pass on my gratitude to the performers: they were both wonderful to work with and really brought another dimension to the room with their antics. Thank you so much for recommending them - we now know where to go for future event entertainment!"

"I just wanted to write a note to say thanks so much for recommending such a fabulous band! Chunky Jam was so much fun and absolutely made the night for everyone (including a few of our staff who couldn’t stay away from them!) If you could pass our thanks on to Chris and the band, they were a pleasure to work with!
Thanks again Richard, I will definitely be in touch next time we have an event that requires entertainment."

Kath Wharton - Executive Assistant

"Jon (Stevens) your show on Thursday night was fantastic even with the audio of the Gold Coast centre you engage the audience 100%. When Kate let it slip you were the next act everyone got up to get a spot close to the stage. Some of us were lucky enough to see you at Jupiter's last July at the IGA gig where you had the entire audience captivated. Keep doing what your doing you will only keep increasing your fan base.
And Instinct thanks for the entertainment."

Peter Moore

"Just wanted to give you the feedback from the conference delegates and committee at the VPNG conference last Friday. All thought Tumbarumba were great. One comment on the evaluation forms was "super finale" and another "the music band idea - fantastic". Lots of people asked me where I got them from. Everyone had a great time so thought I would give you this info to pass on to Neda and the boys. Still cant believe we were all playing music. It was great. Thanks for all your help."
Nanette Lundie

"Just a quick email to let you know that Benedictine were fantastic on Wednesday night. We really needed to ensure we gradually brought up the volume throughout the evening so that guests could network during dinner without having to compete with the music. The band was very understanding and ensured that they only performed soft background music early in the evening. The dance set was excellent as it inspired so many guests to hit the dancefloor. Guests chanted "one more, one more" when they announced it was their final song. Both Glenn and Kristy were very professional and kept to the schedule without me having to chase them to get back on stage. They are really nice people to work with and I will be sure to recommend them to future clients."

"It seems like ages ago, but I just wanted to say a VERY BIG thank you to yourself and the boys from Chunky Jam duo - they were just awesome at our wedding and we have had so many comments about how great the music was! Everyone was up dancing and the vibe was just brilliant, so please thank Chris (and the other guy - sorry can't remember his name!) We will have no hesitation in getting them again should we ever have another function."

"I wanted to thank you for recommending Des Dowling for the REIA National Awards 2009. We felt that you really grasped what it was that we were looking for in an MC. But of course, you are the expert at these things! Well done because Des delivered a great event. Des was a fantastic host. He understood my client's requirements and my needs as an Event Manager. He had the audience right there with him the entire night and his improvisation through a technical glitch made it feel like it was all done on purpose! He was funny, professional, flexible in dealing with last minute changes, and a pleasure to work with. We will certainly recommend him to our future clients."

"I didn't get a chance to catch up with Billy James after his performance last night as I was then on stage myself, and I just wanted to pass on sincere thanks for the great job he did. His performance was incredibly
well received, and certainly contributed to the success of the night. Thank you also for your assistance in organising this."

"A definite 10/10 for Scared Weird Little Guys, they were terrific and a huge success – was extremely happy with them. As I said on the feedback form when an act is so good it feels as though it goes too quick, the guys did an encore which was good of them. Thank you for all your help and I look forward to working with you again next year!"

"Entice - They were fantastic! Everyone loved them and danced during all their sets. Unfortunately we ran way overtime from the start, so their sets were squashed together at the end of the night. But that was our fault - they just modified what they were doing to suit our timings. I wished they could play for another hour! Many thanks for all your help and advice in planning our event."

"The Buzz team building activity was a great end to a very successful yet hectic 3 day national workshop.
The event itself did meet my expectations, however the outcome probably surpassed what I had imagined. The rapidness in which the advertisements were collated to present to the team was impressive. The snap shots of the team arriving etc. was a great intro to the presentations too. The group laughed, dressed up, and some, I dare say, stepped out of their comfort zones. The trophies were a great addition for each winner to take home.
I would recommend this team building activity. Looking forward to working with you again e.g. next week!"

I have never before seen people dancing BEFORE dinner. They definitely made the night for us. The dance floor was never empty, and they got everyone involved.

Behind the scene, Ahn was very approachable, friendly, a genuine person who had a genuine interested to make sure the show was right for the audience he was about to address. I absolutely recommend Ahn for corporate events as the comedian entertainer. Both my client and I are extremely happy customers. Thank you once again for your patience and assistance on this event. As always, it is a pleasure working with you."

"Just wanted to say thanks for the band and comedian we used last Friday for our Christmas Party. The band were really good, they got everyone up and dancing and they played a really good mix of older stuff and some newer songs for those a bit younger! I was so sore the next day from dancing all night! Dave Grant was an absolute crack up. He worked the room really well, and had everyone in stitches. I have had heaps of calls and emails this morning letting me know how much they enjoyed the entertainment, it was great.
Now I can relax till next year!!! Thanks again, and Merry Christmas!!!"
