Good morning Dean,

Teresa and I had a blast at the Winter Club Dinner/Dance this past Saturday night.  The weather was perfect, the food was great, and the music was fantastic.  While the crowd was smaller than usual, the folks in attendance were enjoying the evening to the fullest.  The dance floor was full much of the time and your talented group was able to play musical selections that appealed to everyone from young to old.  I took a little video of the evening with the dance floor packed and sent it on to Dianne.  I let her know we missed her and Del but the crowd was enjoying a great evening of food and entertainment.

I look forward to the next opportunity I to see you guys play.  You are terrific entertainers.

Ceyx is an exceptional addition to any event, but especially a wedding. Dean is incredible to work with and takes any stress that would come with organizing music, entrances, MC away. My husband and I have been to close to 10 weddings in the last 2 years and have not seen as many people dancing and having a good time as we did at our wedding. The band plays something for everyone and ensures that guests are dancing and enjoying themselves. The DJ combo then adds the songs that allow for group dances and requests. CEYX truly made it feel like we were giving our guests a night to remember even though it was our wedding. The band made our day so memorable and impressed not only our guests, but the managers of our venue as well. CEYX is dynamic, fun, and a pleasure to work with. We can’t thank them enough for the experience we got! We would book them again and would recommend them to anyone!

Hi Dean:

Thanks again for being a part of our 2017 Holiday Event at the Reserve!  CEYX was a Big hit, again, this year!  Thank you.

After having orchestrated this event for the past 10 years, last year was the first time we had any kind of entertainment.  I was very apprehensive, not knowing how it would go over with our employees.  I must say I was pleasantly surprised, Rusch Entertainment was a HUGE hit!  Everyone loved it and talked about it for days!  Rusch Entertainment was able to get many of our folks totally engaged in singing and dancing.  This was such a hit that we asked you to come back in 2017.

I would strongly recommend Rusch Entertainment for any events, especially multi-cultural companies such as ours.

I wish you and your family a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Hi Dean!    The comments were very positive. Everyone had a great time and loved the crown interaction!   I enjoyed the interaction with the crowd once they were on the floor they stayed there for several songs!  I liked how you all ended the night with the DJ too, fun times!  Thank you!

Thank you again for being a part of our celebration!  We had about 200 Guests attending the wedding at Baker Lofts, Holland, MI

Hi Dean.
“I thought the second floor was a great touch. We had singing in the room we were in as a result of the Karaoke twins: Hayes & Brayley”  (During Dinner Tom & Dean entertained with Christmas songs and oldies on the 2^nd Floor using the Grand Piano and saxophone.  The spontaneous Sing-a-long with White Christmas and Winter Wonderland was amazing!)  “The people I talked to had a great time and loved the music”.  After Dinner CEYX played a non Stop set of Dance Music on the 3^rd Floor with hits from the 60s thru 2016 for the 2016 Christmas Ball – Dinner Dance –  “Great job, Dean”.

Hi Dean:  Our event last night was FANTASTIC!  Everyone here is still talking about it … CEYX played just the right kinds of songs; got everyone engaged, especially our President as Santa Claus!   I would highly recommend using Rusch Entertainment and we will certainly look to have you perform at next year’s Holiday Event!  Thank you again … I wish you and your family a very Happy Holiday!   (Over 250 people at The Reserve Banquet Hall, Birmingham)

To All Couples and Wedding Planners,

My new wife and I wasted little time in securing the band Ceyx from Rusch Entertainment to play at our wedding reception.  Ceyx has an incredible reputation in our region for being a fun, talented, sharp, party-starting band.  From playing on the same stage as national acts, to playing in various community events, Marybeth and I have always been impressed with Ceyx’s fun and versatile style of play.

We were delighted to hear that Ceyx was available for our wedding date and immediately seized the moment to book them for our wedding reception entertainment.  The band leader, Dean, was kind enough to invite us to hash out relevant details a week or so before our event, and even coordinated extra pieces of audio/visual equipment to be used for our reception.  The rest was history!  Dean served as the MC for our reception and really got the party started while introducing the bridal party and announcing any relevant evening details.

When looking for a fun, timeless, classy, and current band/DJ service for a wedding reception, Ceyx continues to uphold its reputation as the best around!  Marybeth and I love looking back at our wedding photos/videos and seeing all the guests entertained, dancing, and enjoying the night.  In conclusion, whenever we recommend a band or DJ, Ceyx from Rusch Entertainment is clearly our suggestion!

Sam Penkala

Dear CEYX,
Thank You so much for performing at our wedding reception. We has numerous positive comments from our guests on your music and song selection. We especially appreciated the pretend instruments you brought for the kids to play with. They loved it and were so fun to watch out on the dance floor. Also, thank you for taking charge of the reception and helping it flow smoothly. I was able to relax and not worry about the details because you took care of everything!
Lauren and Mark

Dean and CEYX,
You were amazing! Compliments everywhere! You really made our Carrie’s wedding a fantastic party. News is traveling and you should be booked solid for years!!
Mom of Bride

Everything was great Dean!  Thanks for the top notch entertainment!!  You were right, Cameron was a big hit and we all enjoyed the band CEYX for the 3^rd year in a row.  Thanks too for the special music during the happy hour (CEYX unplugged!)…..another great idea to move near us for that set.

Hi Dean, Tom, & Tim

We all had so much fun. The three of you are excellent! I have had so many great compliments on the entire party. It took a little time to get everyone up and going, but once they got up and started dancing, they had a blast. The hula hooping and the guys getting up to join the band, was also very entertaining.

Great Job Guys!

We would love to have you again.  I will definitely push to make that happen, maybe, not next year, but possibly the following. I will get with you in the further to see what we can line up for next year. Thanks for all your help, you have been exceptional. Thanks so much!

Linda Mollan – Golden Hawk Golf Club   Casco, MI   (3^rd Christmas Party!)

Married at Apple Mountain. I had seen CEYX at 2 weddings before and knew we needed to book CEYX & and DJ Dean. My wife had never seen them before: She loved the wedding because the dance floor was packed all night from the 1st dance to the last! Some guests were dancing off the dance floor it was so packed! We were really impressed with the overall music. From the ceremony music, to the classy cocktail music, MCing energy for the grand entrance, the live dinner set the band played as well the Djing at the end of night. We did not want it to be over! Dean was very personable and was able to customize our night! Everything flowed very well and we would recommend CEYX to anyone! They rock! Thanks for a PERFECT night!
Garrett and Sarah

CEYX was Big Improvement over the comic from last year, who was over the top and not quite appropriate for a professional event like our annual convention.  You guys, obviously, know what you are doing.  This year was way better. CEYX really entertained and kept every one captivated. It was a real blast and so much Fun, our president, Butch just loved the live music.  We were all shocked with the way you were able to get people to participate in the skits on stage.  From the very beginning, you played songs that the audience knew, sang along with and even hollered out to.  We couldn’t believe the variety of requests you took from Metallica to Motown, From Kid Rock to Johnny Cash. From Bob Seger to Hotel CA.  It was my job to pick out entertainment that would please a few hundred people of all ages.  It is really nice to have so many people loving the show that, the next day all comments were positive.  The musicianship was off the map.  The caliber of players blew everyone away.   You guys were like dueling pianos on steroids, “several notches up”.  You really know what you are doing.   In conclusion, everyone had a great time with your 2 hour CEYX band’s hybrid dueling piano show. This will be a hard act to top next year!  Thanks again for making my job easy and FUN!

Scott, Executive Director Michigan Licensed Beverage Association

Dean, we are so happy that we went with you as a DJ and your band CEYX. You guys did such a great job! Katie and I were a little nervous about going with a band and playing older music, because our generation (24) is not used to that kind of music, but you killed it and everyone was having such a great time. I’m glad you guys enjoyed yourselves, and I will definitely be going with you guys again if I’m in need of a band/dj combo. Thanks again for everything that you did. You guys rock!
Thanks, Jeremy and Katie Shankle

CEYX did a great job at our corporate cocktail reception and dinner. Dean did a great job coordinating the music to our group. He really knows how to get the party going. We would definitely recommend Rusch Entertainment to anyone looking for great entertainment! 🙂
Member Relations Coordinator  MLBA

We had CEYX play and Dean DJ for our wedding. It was FANTASTIC! Dean did such a wonderful job and I literally have NO complaints. He was professional, fun, played every single song I asked him for, and added so many personal touches that it felt like they tailored the entire night specially for us. It wasn’t cheap but you honestly get what you pay for with Dean and CEYX and I would HIGHLY/STRONGLY/DEFINITELY recommend Rusch Entertainment to everyone I know. They are trustworthy and if you want your reception to keep people laughing, singing, and dancing ALL NIGHT, then you cannot miss the opportunity to have CEYX play.

Our Christmas parties are normally over right after dinner around 8:00. Ceyx kept the party going and the dance floor full until well after midnight, and they were only booked until 11:30. Thanks guys for the great time!

You guys really made the party. The dance floor was packed all night, and young and old had a great time. Thanks for making our special day that much fun!

Saturday was a great day to watch a white balloon float into a crystal blue sky and wonder in whose hands the attached note would end up. It was 6,000 people dancing The Bump to Ceyx’s “Play That Funky Music, White Boy” — drummer Dean Rusch’s last-minute substitute for the traditional twist and chicken dance. OK, everyone didn’t mean to dance, but most were “bumped” in the process……………..10,000 People watched and enjoyed “CEYX” every year.
Sue White, The Saginaw News

Good morning Dean, What a great evening and you guys did an absolutely “superfabulous” job. The selections were perfect and the patriotic portion with the ceremony will be a added memory for our classmates! I will forward on some pics when I receive them. I’ll also access your site and write a review. Thanks again and I hope you’ll be available in 5 or 10 years for our next reunion. Until then I will recommend you whenever possible.
Beth –  Western CC, Redford, MI

Thanks so much for a great night!!! We had a blast and you guys were great!

Hey Dean, Sorry so late getting back to you, its been a cazy fun couple of weeks. Angela and I couldn’t of had a better wedding thanks to you. Everyone said it was the best wedding they have gone to. When we were in Boston for your honeymoon, we had a hard time walking around because our legs hurt so bad from dancing. I don’t think there was a time with no one on the dance floor. Thanks again for making our wedding night perfectly flawless and a life time of good memories.
Dr. Vincent & Angela Boysen

Dean, Everyone loved your band and we would like to make sure you can come again at Horizons Conference Center.
Beth Hazen Trier

Dean, I can’t get over what a wonderful time CEYX provided for our guests! It was my favorite part of the whole night and I think theirs too! You guys are the best!!! I was so proud of our decision to have your band and loved when people told me how good you were and that you sounded like the original artists. I also heard from a few people, “How did you get Ceyx?” I know I lucked out by your band being available, and for that I am completely grateful for. I was so happy! I really wished the night could go on forever! It was just so much fun, and that’s what we wanted. We wanted people to dance, and that’s exactly what we got. I couldn’t be happier and want to do it all over again! You were excellent! Chris and I are in the process of moving to West Des Moines, Iowa, where he has accepted a job. We move on Tuesday, so things have been a little crazy. We were planning on being in touch with you to let you know how happy we were with your band. Thank you for not taking any breaks during the dancing, for showing such energy and professionalism, for showing our guests an absolute blast, for being so darn talented and for making us very happy with our decision to hire your band. We are just so thrilled to have had you at our wedding reception. I am still on cloud nine! I would be happy to be a reference if you need one! I might get a little excited though and say, Hire them!! They’re the absolute best! Thank you so very much!
