On behalf of the Society, I would like to say how much we enjoyed the performance of the Celtic Rhythm Dancers on Saturday night. They were fantastic and really added greatly to the success of the evening. Not only are they wonderful dancers but they were very professional and easy to work with. They were also extremely pleasant and great company during the evening.
Kind regards
Hi Mark I was really happy with the dancers absolutely excellent! I would have no problem recommending them, they were money well spent. All the guests were amazed by them and very impressed. Thanks again and we had a brilliant day!
In reply to your text today, and thanks for your best wishes. With regards to our wedding reception, we had a brilliant day, and your dancers just made it so much more. They enthralled everyone. We had a lot of guests over from the U.K. and there are still talking about it, and said they had never seen anything like it before. They said they had been to a few weddings, (and not being boastful) but ours was the best wedding they had been too. I gave one of your cards to a friend of mine, whose sister is getting married in April, I think, and she had already booked the dancers. I think the wedding is in the Shannon Oaks Hotel,
But I would definitely recommend them to other people in the future. Well worth the money, and it was great that they got the guests involved as well.
So Thanks again for everything.

The feedback on the evening has been excellent, we have had so many people say what a great time they had and particularly how much they enjoyed the dancers' performances.
So from all of us, a huge thank you and we hope that we will have the opportunity of working with you again at future events. Please pass on our thanks and regards to the dancers and tell them they have generated great interest in Irish dancing here in Lisbon!

I wanted to thank you for the superb performances by the Dancers here
last week. They had a fantastic impact and helped make a success of the various
events we had organised to highlight the best of Irish culture. They were
also very good ambassadors for Ireland and a more pleasant group of our
young compatriots you could not hope to meet. It was a pleasure to have them and we would love to be able to do it again on a future opportunity.
Kind regards

Dear Mark
Perhaps you might pass on this email with our heartfelt thanks to all the Celtic rhythm Dancers for a wonderful performance last Tuesday August 29th at the Guinness Store House .We cannot express the sincere outpouring of praise from all our International friends who were in complete awe of such a fine performance ..
This was a huge project , an event which lasted from Tuesday Evening until Friady night and one which as you may already know took a year to prepare and plan but from the start we were determined to show this vast group of Internationals what modern Ireland is all about and present some of our finest artists to them.Your group of wonderful dancers proved yet again that they are true professionals and wonderful ambassador for the fantastic young talent this country has to offer. This fine peformance has not only reached the four corners of Europe but the four corners of the world .
Thank you so much
Wishing you and your wondeful troupe of Dancers all the best,
Lizanne and Gordon Barry ( MD Grundfos Ireland Ltd )
To Mark and all at Celtic Rhythm,
On behalf of myself and my husband, I want to thank you most sincerely for the fabulous show at our wedding in Kilkea Castle on 20th June. As you know, it was a surprise from me, the Bride, to the Groom and his family and friends who had traveled from South Africa. I was so proud that you gave an exemplary show of our wonderful Irish dancing tradition. They are still talking about your show in South Africa, what better praise!
Many thanks again & long live your success,
Anne & Nicolaas Louw !

I would like to congratulate your team lead by Colin, who spent this weekend in Jakarta, Indonesia, helping the local St. Patricks Society celebrate St. Patricks Day. They have been fantastic ambassadors for Ireland, and have made for a fun filled weekend. My wife, Miree, is on the St. Patricks Society committee, so I have had a chance to get to
know them a little over the weekend, and I hope they enjoyed being here as much as we enjoyed them being here. They have left many people with some great memories.
We will probably not see the same team here again next year, but I am looking forward to what Celtic Rythmn shows us next year. While the team does not leave until late this afternoon, Indonesia time, I wish them a safe and speedy return to their homeland.
Best wishes

Dear Mark,
We would like to extend our great thanks to you and your troop for the excellent performance at our wedding in October 2006. I know we are late getting back in touch with you but better late than never!!
Our guests were amazed with our little surprise and to this day they still talk about you and how the hairs stood up on the back of their necks. Our relations from USA and Netherlands were particularly awestruck. Even now when we look at our DVD, it's one of the highlights.
So many thanks for everything you did which made our day extra special. We would gladly recommend you to anyone. Best wishes for the future.
Sandra Banim and Mark Deane.

Hi Mark,
I just wanted to say a big thank you to you and all the dancers who danced at our wedding in The Riverside Park Hotel in Enniscorthy on 8th June 2007. The dancers were absolutely fantastic and were enjoyed by young and old. We were told by many guests that it was the highlight of an already brilliant day.
My sister Mary was so impressed she has already booked your dancers to dance at her wedding reception in The Ashdown Park Hotel in Gorey on 26th October.
I'm looking forward to it already.
Wishing you continued success for the future.
Best regards

Sorry for not contacting you before now but we wanted to send a few words
to express our sincere thanks to you and your dancers for performing at our
Wedding reception at The Inchydoney Spa & Lodge on Sat 28th April 07.
The show was fantastic and left our guests amazed and impressed.
It totally made the night and turned our wedding reception into one that will
be remembered for a very long time. Our friends & family are still talking about
the dancing to this day.
It was well worth the money and we would recommend the show to anyone.
It was really was excellent.
Thanks again for making it a night to remember.

Hey Mark,
Just back from honeymoon and wanted to let you know your dancing group absolutely rocked on the night of the wedding!! They had everyone clapping, all the Yanks were amazed and even passed up on seeing Riverdance at the Gatiey Theatre later in the week as they felt it was such an amazing showing!! Thank you for looking after this for me as it really did make our wedding very special! I even threw the crew an extra €100 cash tip to say job well done!! On the down side, just wanted to let you know I'll be leaving Tara Towers after a 16 month run for bigger and better things at the end of next week. I'm sure the Tara Towers would be lucky to have your group back and I've already shared the experience with Emilie so she's aware to give you first shot at the venue!! All the best in the future and I'm sure I'll be in touch again when I find my next port of call in the Irish hospitality world!!
Cheers,
