Having the Bill Sargent Band play for our wedding was amazing! Bill was wonderful to work with- professional, accommodating, and helpful. The band did a great job playing a variety of styles to get people out of their seats and on the dance floor. Our guests were blown away and still talk about how awesome it was to have a live band! It was such a great wedding and a large part of that is due to the wonderful work of Bill Sargent Bands!
It is with genuine gratitude that I reach out to you to thank you . . . Your company upholds a standard of excellence, which is evident in your talented performance. Thank you for your part in making our evening such a success!
The band and music were exceptional and created the perfect atmosphere for our event.
It was so so good working with Bill – absolutely no regrets hiring Bill Sargent Bands for our special day! Bill added several of my requested songs to his band’s playbook, stayed in touch, and kept everyone moving on the dance floor! So fun for people of all ages, all of our friends and family loved listening and dancing to a live band!
The band was personable, friendly, and professional. We used them for my parents 50th wedding anniversary. Everyone, especially my dad, was impressed and thoroughly enjoyed their musical ability and talent. My aunt sang along from her chair. They played in my sister’s home and were loud enough to hear around the house, but not too loud that people could hold conversations without have to shout over the music. It was exactly what we asked for. The experience made it a night to remember for us, our 80 guests, and most of all our parents. Thank you Bill!
Bill and his band were outstanding! From our first call to the actual date, the process was handled so genuinely and professionally and easily. Bill collaborated with us to integrate our vision, our dreams and our faith into our music selection and atmosphere. Bill was great at enhancing and making suggestions to help us create the most special and wonderful day of our lives. The musicians were so very professional, warm, inviting and so incredibly talented. They touched our hearts and that of our guests with their skill and demeanor. They created a most unforgettable day and we have a picture of each one of them and their instruments in our keeping. He made our day full of faith, and fun and wonderful romantic classics.

Our company held a luncheon boat cruise for our 50 employees and decided to bring in some live music. After perusing the web for a Jazz or Dixieland band, I contacted Bill Sargent to inquire as to what he had available. We discussed my budget & determined that a 3 piece jazz band was best suited to my needs. Knowing that trying to entertain a small group of co-workers is a difficult task, I requested that the music be all lively, familiar & up tempo. Bill’s band delivered on all counts. They were professional, well dressed, and very, very good! When our schedule changed a bit, making an earlier start time for the band preferable, the band complied without question & started 20 minutes early.
The flexibility of having so many different musical styles & band sizes available, along with the quality musicianship, makes Bill Sargent Bands a no brainer in my book. I would not hesitate to contact them again for my live music needs.
Thank you so much for making our 2007 Junior Senior Banquet at the Milwaukee County Historical Society a resounding success. Your artfully-crafted music set the tone and rhythm for the entire night’s allure. The band put on an energetic show that heightened everyone’s sense of enjoyment. We especially appreciated the Christian tone you crafted into the swing music. You reacted well with the high school audience and found ways to connect with them on a common level. Your professionalism was shown through your skill and your passion for musical excellence impressed us all.
Once again, thank you for your part in making this event a huge success.
Wow! That was the first standing ovation the students have given an assembly all year!
I would like to extend my sincerest appreciation for the excellent performance of your . . . ensemble at my wedding reception at North Hills Country Club . . . Your band’s professionalism was exceeded only by your admirable talent and personal warmth. So many of our guests expressed their praise for your contribution to our special day that it is certainly amazing how you can touch persons of such varied backgrounds and tastes. I have received so many compliments on your music that I felt that I should pass some of this praise on to you. My only regret is that I must summarize these compliments , rather than enumerate them. I have you and your band reserved for my 25th anniversary.
I want to thank you and the entire band for your participation in the Republican Governors Conference . . . By any measure, the Conference was a tremendous success — the best the Republican governors have ever had.
Wow!! What a Band!!! I’m in Shock by how many people danced ALL NIGHT LONG. We NEVER had that happen. Thank you for making our dance a success.
They were professional. On time. And their music was outstanding! My guests had an amazing time and complemented me on my choice of music for our reception.
Your band was absolutely fabulous on Saturday night! Dan and I were so pleased with your friendly, professional demeanor. Your players exuded everything we could have asked for and we truly thank you for putting such a fantastic group of people together.
Your music honestly made the night so grand for us and our guests. Even our 15 year old son put the entire CD on his Ipod on Sunday! You just can’t beat that!! I’m also getting calls from our guests about how awesome your group played and how it pulled the whole night together.
Bill, it was a true pleasure to meet you and have you be the outstanding part of our anniversary party. I hope we’ll be able to meet up with you again some day. Thank you so much!
It was very nice speaking with you regarding an engagement at The Pfister Hotel . . . for the Preferred Hotels and Resorts Worldwide Black Tie Dinner. You may be interested to know that the Preferred Hotels will be celebrating its twenty-fifth anniversary, and The Pfister Hotel, as you probably know, is celebrating its 100th anniversary. I am pleased that you were able to provide the services of your excellent orchestra for this evening . . .
Last year you and your band provided excellent entertainment for the Holiday Home Camp benefit gala that was held at Stone Manor in Lake Geneva (remember the monsoon??).
Our committee has unanimously agreed that we would love to have you all back to play again at this year’s event if you are by chance available.
We hired the Bill Sargent Big Band to play at our wedding reception. We, and our guests, had a wonderful time! I cannot possibly count how many of our guests told us, and are still telling us months later, how much they enjoyed the MUSIC at our reception. Hiring the Bill Sargent Big Band was one of the best decisions we made while planning our wedding. Thanks Bill!
Our party at the Milwaukee Country Club last month was a great success, due in a large part to the music you and your group provided. We have received very enthusiastic thank you notes from our guests and each mentions the quality of the music and how it made the party distinctive. The vocalist . . . was spectacular; and you know, I had some reservations about having a singer at a private party. We look forward to having your band . . . at our daughter’s reception at the Club in September, and know you will be a hit there also.
I would like to take a moment to extend my thanks to you for your participation in Harborfest . . . Our lineup this year was easily our strongest ever. It is because of the talent and professionalism of artists such as yourself that we had the finest Friday and Sunday in our history . . . I thank you from the bottom of my heart for your performance at this year’s festival!
As chairman of the Sales and Marketing Executives of Milwaukee Christmas program, I was given a real challenge. I was up against a history of successful and memorable events prior to my acceptance as this year’s party chairman. According to the feedback I received following this year’s party from fellow members, this was the best party ever. This achievement was due primarily to the great entertainment provided by your fantastic band and the great vocalist . . . Your professionalism and wide variety of music successfully appealed to the varied musical tastes of the audience. I would highly recommend your group to anyone seeking music and entertainment at its best.
I filmed a wedding that Bill Sargent Band performed at a while back. The couple had a ballroom dance instructor get the guests ready for the reception dancing while the photographer took the wedding party to a nearby location for photos. When the band played later that evening, the music and dancing filled the hall and made more than a few converts to big band sound and ballroom dancing.
We received many compliments on the band and are so happy we chose Bill Sargent. Very classy musicians and great entertainers!
Thanks for everything you did to help make St. Mary’s Guild Benefit a “Smashing” Success. People are still talking about your music and your show. Thanks again for being a big part of a really successful evening. On behalf of everyone involved in the Guild Benefit, we look forward to working with you in November . . .. . .
They were very professional and flexible and provided much better entertainment than a traditional dj service. They helped make the day memorable. I wouldn’t have changed this at all. I would definitely recommend the Bill Sargent Bands to anyone who is looking to have live music at their event.
The Bill Sargent Band (quintet) that we had was absolutely phenomenal – our guests commented on it all night long! . . . the music was amazing, the sound was perfect, and our guests LOVED the live band!
I have hired 2 versions of the Bill Sargent Band for company parties and they were both outstanding. I would highly recommend!
Your band was wonderful on May 4th. Thanks for all the effort. Our guests were extremely complimentary, and we were very pleased. There were many times I wanted to sit down and just listen . . . avoiding my guests. Please pass on my thanks to your great band. I look forward to working with you again.
Perfect band for an upscale wedding! They were able to play softer music during dinner and then get everyone of all ages out on the dance floor later. They were easy to work with and you have different options with songs and size of band. Choosing a band over a DJ was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding and I would HIGHLY recommend The Bill Sargent Band!
Thank you very much for the good music at my wedding reception. Every note of thanks mentions the band.
The event was a black tie fund raiser — everyone loved the band. Would recommend them for other events.
Bill Sargent is a true musician and professional. Thumbs up all the way on his band.
We went with a vintage-style wedding, and my husband and I both really enjoy this style of music. We thought the band did an amazing job! Even the wedding guests who didn’t know how to dance to this style of music had nothing but compliments — the band was a hit!
Thank you for all of your help in making our “Western Party” a success. The entertainment that you and your band provided was a perfect highlight to enhance the theme of our party, and was enjoyed by all. Please extend my gratitude to your band.
We had 7 piece Bill Sargent band for our wedding and they were great! A little pricey, but worth it. They performed very well. …
Bill Sargent Band was wonderful. Our guest were always on the dance floor. Everyone loved the band. They are so professional and the best band.
The Bill Sargent Band played at our daughter’s wedding this year and they were great. We had many compliments from our guests and the music was at just the right volume where we could all have a nice conversation without yelling into one-another’s ear. We had their piano player play during dinner which created a great ambiance. The singer and horn players added another dimension that capped everything off. Don’t even think of hiring a DJ for an occasion like this. You’ll never forget it!
Thank you again for a very fine job. We heard so many positive remarks about the band. I feel your effort really helped make our event a big success. As a result of profits received from the evening, our organization has a substantial sum of money to contribute to local charities. I also understand the wedding on . . . was wonderful too.
The Bill Sargent Orchestra treated our members to some great musical arrangements with his Big Band sound when our Brynwood golfing season started with its annual opening dinner dance. The versatility of this great band, including vocals by . . ., contribute greatly to those who appreciate quality music. We are fortunate to enjoy the Bill Sargent Band in Milwaukee.
C. and I would like to thank you and your band for the excellent job you did for us at our wedding reception. Your song selection and performance was superb. I marveled at the professional show you and your band put on and I was proud to receive numerous compliments for hiring you. I would recommend your band to anyone who would ask. Once again thanks for the great music and the way you made our night extra special.

The music was fantastic and Bill Sargent was very easy to work with.
Lindsay & I wanted to write and thank you for doing such an amazing job playing at our wedding in October. We had a great time dancing & we received a great many compliments on the quality of the music. Thanks for helping make our wedding reception such a great success.

I am grateful for your cooperation and participation . . . I hope you enjoyed yourself as much as we did and that you will consider a repeat performance in . . .
I cannot begin to tell you how beautiful our wedding reception was due to the absolutely marvelous music played by your band . . . it was more than your music that made our wedding a success. Bill, you have a charisma and pizzazz that really gets people moving. It is catching and everyone had a ball.
Thanks for a job well done last Saturday night at St. Mary’s Benefit dinner dance. I and many others have heard wonderful comments and we are all pleased at how you were able to please all age groups. We certainly enjoyed working with you.
Sunday was a gas! The ALL went away impressed, happy and ready to come back next year with some friends. I think you proved to a lot of people that the level of quality in the Milwaukee trad jazz scene is higher than some might have thought. Thanks for your help!
Have seen many floor shows all over the US and Europe but nothing as terrific as your show last Sunday. Everything was organized and carried out to perfection. Have heard so many terrific compliments regarding the performance that I just had to write to thank you and let you know that many many people thought it was the greatest.
I just wanted to take this opportunity to thank you and your band for their outstanding performance at A Midsummer Night’s Dream, benefiting St. Francis Children’s Center. I have received wonderful feedback from our guests about how great and how much fun the band was. I am pleased to tell you that the event was a success and we raised . . . It was a pleasure to work with you and please accept my thanks for making the event so memorable.
On behalf of St. Mary’s Hospital Guild, I wish to thank you and your entire ensemble for the marvelous entertainment and music you provided on . . . It is wonderful to know we have first class entertainment right here in Milwaukee. We are all looking forward to next year’s Benefit and a most enjoyable evening of dancing to the Bill Sargent Band.
I just wanted to drop you a short note to thank you for the terrific job you and your Swing Kings did at our annual summer festival. Even though the uncertain weather forecast discouraged many from attending the festival the afternoon your band played, The Swing Kings’ professionalism and poise truly prevailed, and a great time was had by those who chose to brave the elements. Our intention for this year’s festival was to provide quality entertainment that the entire family would enjoy. Our goal was met by having you and the Swing Kings perform. Again, many thanks . . . (I) plan to contact you regarding next year’s festival.
This is to inform you how much the Worldwide Church of God enjoyed your band . . . The quality of music was outstanding. We felt we were back in the big band era as each piece sounded like the actual band who made it famous. We also appreciated your professionalism with working out a few minor problems. It was so successful for our young people we plan on using it again. We look forward to having your band again.
Everything went just fine Saturday night. The band was well received, all were on time and the crowd stayed to the very end. Always a good sign. I enclose Somerset’s check . . . as an advance on . . . our Valentine’s Day party . . .
I want you to know how very pleased we, Bob Uecker and our client, Blue Cross and Blue Shield United of Wisconsin were with your dixieland combo at the recent media even held in The Grand Avenue. Not only did you respond willingly at very short notice, but you were there well in advance to set up the band and cooperated to the hilt to coordinate the band’s playing with our script. The media event . . . was a success in all ways . . . And the band played a big part in making it so. In addition to your efficiency and cooperation, the band’s music was terrific too! . . . I plan to be in touch as other assignments occur.
Thank-you for the wonderful job you did for our wedding . . . We heard “RAVE REVIEWS”, please thank the band, and also your singer was lovely!! A beautiful memory not soon forgotten.
Your wonderful band helped make our Christmas party a huge success. Everyone had a great time, and I received many compliments about your fine organization. Therefore I would like to have you play at our party next year. Please set aside . . .
On behalf of those 60 brave souls who ventured forth on a very snowy Saturday to attend Mardi Gras, your band was indeed lively, faith filled & festive! THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU for being here to share your faith through music & through witness.
Regrettably the weather did not co-operate for having a larger turn out, but those attending were truly ‘in the Spirit!’
Thank you, on behalf of the entire SME organization, for the outstanding musical entertainment you provided us with . . . I was dazzled. The “Big Band Broadcast” was a smash hit, earning rave reviews from EVERYONE I talked to. I’ve been an amateur musician and jazz buff for about 30 years, and have enjoyed listening to the music of Benny Goodman and Buddy DeFranco for all of them. But I don’t think I’ve ever heard two finer clarinet solos than we heard from you during the Bill Sargent Orchestra’s “Big Band Broadcast.” It was a musical treat we will all long remember.
. . . the Trad-Jazz Rousers were a favorite among the audience, and I appreciated your promptness in setting up and in beginning each performance. Your group was a great addition . . .
I wanted to thank you again for providing the beautiful music for A___ and T___’s wedding. It was just perfect. Everyone has commented on how much they enjoyed it . . . you did a fabulous job.
Thanks again – I will definitely call you when the next child decided to get married.
People were raving about your performance all night and for days after . . . Thanks so much for making . . . a wonderful event. It was truly a pleasure working with you.
Everything went just fine Saturday night. Your band was great and compliments on the music are still coming in. The band was well-received, and were on time and the crowd stayed to the very end. Always a good sign.
I would like to compliment you on your fabulous performances . . . The high quality and professionalism was enjoyed by both the merchants and the shoppers alike. I look forward to a return visit . . .
I’ll always remember also the GREAT evening we had when you and your friends played at the UJL Mardi Gras party I chaired at the Elks on Good Hope. I think we had the best Mardi Gras and happy crowd. I had asked you to play danceable Dixie and you filled the bill. I know the attendees loved it, for at midnight they were still sitting solid, and the waitress had to shoo them out.
The reception was terrific – everyone raved about the music. It was just as we envisioned it should be. Can’t tell you just how much we were pleased!
Thank you for your terrific performance . . . our guests enjoyed your fabulous music very much . . . We hope you will be available again in the future for . . .
Everyone in our group enjoyed listening and dancing to the Band. Thank you for adding a special touch to our Christmas Party this year.
We have had many requests for you and your band to play for us again. Our people were really impressed with your quality, style and music selection.
You should be pleased. We certainly are. We have received numerous complements on the performance of your band last Thursday evening at our party at the Chenequa Country Club. Thank you.
Bill’s Big Band is superb. His band’s sound best represents the Big Band sound of the past mixed with today’s contemporary music. I feel confident in recommending The Bill Sargent Big Band to those who, like myself, must have the best.
Thank you for the fine cooperation I received from your band . . . The Dixie group did a terrific job. I had many positive comments concerning the band from attendees at the banquet.
You were great at our Wauwatosa Realty Awards breakfast. Great music – great singer.
Thank you once again for a very enjoyable evening of “big band swing” at the Xaverian Fathers Festival. As I explained to you, each year a group of friends gather . . . we would like to have you and your band perform that afternoon . . .
Thank you for playing for us today. We really appreciate your helping us to keep the rhythm of life for the people of Friendships.
Your band was great at Bastille Days!
Thanks so much for doing a FANTABULOUS job at our wedding . . . We are STILL hearing compliments about it . . . We have you on video – and will frequently review the lovely memories.
We’ve heard so many compliments on your band from the guests at our daughter(‘s) . . . wedding . . . Thank you very much for a job well done. You were great.
On behalf of The Grand Avenue, I’d like to extend a special thank you . . . Your participation in ‘Celebrate Milwaukee’ helped to make it a truly grand event. It was a pleasure working with you and I hope we can work together again in the near future.
You & your band did a fantastic job . . . we had many compliments. If you ever need a positive letter of reference, just let us know!!
Fabulous time last night, Great music at the Italian Community Center. It was worth the wait to see your band perform. Wish you played more public venues but when you are good you don’t need to. It was a great night for my friends 50th birthday!
I want to extend our appreciation for your group’s performance . . . We sincerely hope you enjoyed your visit with us as much as we enjoyed your band’s performance . . . You played an excellent variety of music that appealed to young and old alike! It was enjoyed by all . . . thank you for your fine performance and entertaining evening.
UJL’s Big Band Dance, ‘A Sentimental Journey’, was a great success. Bill Sargent’s Big Band was at its all time best and the music could not have been better or more appropriate. The music was great and everyone had a good time. We are looking forward to more of the same . . .
Thanks for the great performance at the shower last Thursday!
Your show and band were fabulous . . . Everyone loved the whole evening! It was a pleasure working with you and I look forward to future business interaction. We all thank you for a job well done.
Your big band and my son’s wedding last night in Kohler at the American Club was fabulous!!! Thank you so much for making the evening even better!!! Simply awesome!!!
Thanks for playing at the Roast. Everyone had a great time and the music was perfect. I wouldn’t hesitate recommending you to my friends.
Thank you for doing such a great job at my wedding. My guests were all complimentary about your orchestra.
I know they (the wedding guests) really enjoyed your Band. I heard a lot of nice compliments at our Sunday Brunch.
Your group was terrific – we’re still hearing raves about it this week.
You are to be highly commended for the very excellent job you did at the Jazz Fest. People surely enjoyed your band and also enjoyed you.
You have an excellent reputation among your peers and what more of an endorsement can one ask for?
He’s the best guy at doing this that I know.
