Testimonies from our Clients
Hi Tony T, Thank you for a wonderful time at the Atrium restaurant in the Doral last saturday night. When we called to make a reservation they said that they had entertainment but when we got there and heard your band, well we really lucked out. You played everything! The older members of my family enjoyed the standards & motown music but my daughter & her cousins enjoyed todays music as well, Katie Perry, Beyonce, Journey, Black eyed peas, etc........
When you did a couple of Jewish & Itailian numbers we really flipped out. The Doral Arrowwood should be very happy to have you there and we are going to tell them that! We will be contacting you for our daughters wedding in 2013.
Thank you for a night to remember, Steve & Janice

Att; Tony T. We had such a good time at the Ethan Allen Hotel for New Years Eve. The food was great but your band was the best ever! Both me and my wife work, so it's very hard to go out on the weekends and than find a place with good entertainment, so new years eve is the only tmie we go out. Your band is fantactic, we danced all night and your music selections as you say on your business card, yesterday to today is right on the money, you did it all.
Thank you for a wonderful night and hope to see & hear you again.
Lynn & Henry Johnson

Our Wedding at ethan Allen Hotel on Dec 17, 2011
I am pleased to tell you that all of the votes are finally in. For the vote wedding attendees had to indicate their top choice from three: venue, music or food. In every instance the #1 choice was the TONYT ORCHESTRA! The food and the hotel were good but not as good as you. THE MUSIC MADE THE WEDDING RECEPTION AN OUTSTANDING SUCCESS!
Than you for making my wedding day perfect. Karen Horn / Auriana

We have been going to the Doral Atrium restaurant for many years, but since you have been performing there on saturday nights the vibe is better. Your band plays everything! We were so impressed with your band that now we plan to go to the Doral more often & we told this to the managerment. I am giving your information to my office manager because I want you to play at our holiday parties. Your band is great!
Thank you; Philip Stern

Dear Tony T, We had such a great time at the Amber Room Colonnade 2 weeks ago on September 16th. Your band was great and the Sinatra Tribute show was fantastic. When we saw the ad for the show in the paper, Cathy & I said this sounds like a good night out, but it was a great night out. Your band entertainered everyone and the dancing did not stop. Thank you for a wonderful evening. God Bless you for your talent. Frank and Cathy

Hi Tony T Orchestra;
We came to see you in the lounge of Ethan Allen Hotel and you your band is great. We were recommended by Elieen to come listen to you for our daughters wedding and she was right when she said that you keep people on the dance floor but not only that, my wife Catherine & I have never heard a professional band like yours anywhere. I am a guitarist in a blues band and I know music but from your lead vocalist's to your drumming, I would have to say I have never heard great musicians like the ones in your band. Looking forward to having you play at my daughters wedding.
Thank you for a wonderful night of music; Tom & Catherine

Dear Tony Traina
I can't begin to express your outstanding performance at our daughter's wedding on May 8th. Our guests continually praised your orchestra on and off the dance floor throughout that whole night and into the next day. The music and singing --all that you did added so incredibly to the joy and happiness of that evening. Thank you for sharing your wonderful talents. I would recommend your orchestra to all.
With deep appreciation, Cheryl and Ken Brady

Hello Tony T.
Just got back from the honeymoon and wanted to thank you again for everything - absolutely everyone had a great time at the wedding on July 23, and so much of it was due to you guys. The music was perfect, and your rendition of the Athlete song was actually better than the original. Let me know where we can post a review for you (your website?) and we'll happily give you great feedback.
Take care, and hopefully see you all again at a gig when we're back in town...
Our Best, Erin

Hi Tony T
Just wanted to send you a note to let you know that we had a great time
at our party, the music was great. Your band is one of the best groups that we have heard in a long time. Every style of music was fantastic, and when my uncle requested (Is that all there is, by Peggy Lee) you played it perfectly.. All of you are truely great musicians and you made my party a success. We will be checking your schedule so that we can come out to see you soon on the weekends. Lucy was everything you said, and you kept our guests on the dance floor.
Thank you for everything.
All Our Best, Melanie & Doug

COMMENTS FROM THE GUESTS AT THE DORAL ARROWWOOD HOTEL & RESORT
IN THE ATRIUM RESTAURANT......
975 ANDERSON HILL RD. RYE BROOK NY 10573
Listening to the Tony T Orchestra was a treat, the voaclists were as smooth as silk, and the lead guitarist was great. Tony T on drums was very entertaining with twirling drum sticks. When Lucy sang At Last everyone stopped to listen plus the male vocalist Frank Shiner was awesome.
Elizabeth Mahfoud - Atlanta Ga.
The band of Tony T Orchestra truly brings real music back to life. Magic comes from them and warms my heart.
Lindsey, Chappaqua NY
Listening to the Tony T Orchestra just put me in a good mood! All my worries go away and I get lost in the music. The band is so professional and the singers are magnificent! Stephen, White Plains NY
We have heard and seen Tony T before and think that live music is the best, especially this band who are great.
Rich, New York NY
We love the Tony T Orchestra. We were at the Ethan Allen Hotel in Danbury for New Years Eve the last 2 years and they rocked the house as always, so we now come to the Doral to listen to them as well.
Richard Sinno, Yonkers NY
What a pleasure! Great musicians and great songs played tonight. Every time we have seen Tony T, there is a wide range of music, they always get us up on the dance floor. Even my dad who turned 80 years old was up dancing, and for him to just get up is a treat! Vito, Mount Vernon NY
Nothing beats live music. We have seen Tony T play at the Doral Arrowwood before and asked for there business card, they have performed at our club fuctions. There music selection covers everything, Jazz, standards, rock, disco, pop, and the kattie perry & journey tunes were amazing!
