There are two great things people always remember at any special event; Music & Food!! There are no dress rehearsals in our business. Sway Orchestra & Creative Kosher Catering are a Great Dynamic Duo! Whether it's a Bar/Bat Mitzvah or Wedding or just a celebration it's great to know that Sway Orchestra and it's amazing leader Rob D'Urbano is first on my list of credits for an evening to remember! From start to finish Sway orchestrates exactly what Creative Kosher Produces. Great Music - Great Food. If in doubt of making a choice on an evening to remember, when it comes to music consider putting SWAY at the top of your list. From his Frailach Tunes, to Pop, to Traditional, to Rock N Roll, SWAY’s repertoire is what we all like to dance to. Thank you always for bringing musical tunes to our culinary delights!
David Smith, Creative Kosher Caterering

Dear Esteemed Committee, please join me in thanking Roberto D'Urbano for accepting the task of musical director and leading our floral show in music. I am confident and very excited that Roberto and his glorious team will sing us through this event in style. We are real fortunate to have such a group of professionals on board. Cheers and thanks to Roberto and his team!

Executive Director

Rob,
I must admit that I am truly honoured to know you dear sir. I am blessed to have you on my route Mr. D'Urbano. You are a consummate professional and I have the utmost respect for what you do. I am truly impressed with how SWAY has evolved over the past few years. The addition of the twin sisters on vocals (I adore them) and the new musicians have taken SWAY to a higher level of professionalism. I so look forward to doing tons of business with you!
Joel Marc Frappier, MFA, CAFA
Executive Director

Rob, thank you so much for the wonderful music. You made our wedding a party to remember.
Danny & Jenna Palermo

Rob, On behalf of Mike and myself, I wanted to thank you and the rest of Sway Orchestra for making our wedding a night to remember. Our main goal for the wedding was that we wanted everyone to have fun and seeing the dance floor full all night long more than confirmed that for us. This was all because of Sway and we cannot thank you enough. You guys sounded great, the music always suited the mood, and the fact that you were able to add all those songs to your repertoire for us really blew us away. Oh, and thanks for letting me get up on stage with you. I had a blast belting it out up there and it made a lot of people really happy (especially my grandmother!). Again, the words don't seem like quite enough, but thank you sooooo much for an incredible evening!!!

My parents mentioned that they saw you Sunday evening at the Wiseman wedding and that you put on another fabulous show!!! I hope we get the chance to see you perform at many events in the near future!

All the Best,
Andréa Black

Rob, A few days have passed now since Samara and Dov’s beautiful wedding took place and we are still floating on Cloud 9! We cannot thank you enough for making this evening so memorable and special for us! From the start you have been a delight to work with and as we came closer to the wedding you worked so hard to make every detail and song exactly what we were hoping for. The Horas were unbelievable and again I thank you for all the hard work and effort you put into them! All our guests wanted to know where you were from and kept saying how fabulous you were! We danced the night away and even Sheldon danced through the night...now that is really a true testament to how great you were!!! Between David Smith’s extraordinary talent and yours the wedding could not have been any better. We will have beautiful memories forever! With Much appreciation and Thanks!
Debbie and Sheldon Wiseman

Rob, I watched you perform last night at the Ben-Ruven/Wiseman wedding. Spectacular! Talented, versatile and incredibly good looking; and that's just the band. The two stunning young ladies that punctuated your performance kept me mesmerized the entire evening. The best time I have ever had at any wedding reception (and I didn't even dance). Better than any DJ. Thank you!
Jay

Robert & Sway Orchestra, Your music made the party and was loved by all, especially the bride and groom! So many compliments on how each song you played sounded so close to the original artist, etc, etc. I would not hesitate to recommend your group to anyone! Cannot thank you enough!
Dawna and Gary Garber & Family

Rob, Ellie and I want to thank you most sincerely for an incredible show, and for your extra efforts in learning the 5 new songs and performing so masterfully. You really showed those Torontonians and Montrealers we know how to party in the Nation's Capital, and that you are one of the best orchestras in Canada! Again many thanks, and we look forward to our next party with you in September.
Marty & Ellie Black

Rob, words cannot express how I feel about you and Sway. Between you and David Smith I had nothing to do. Sway was beyond fantastic. You certainly helped make the night magical. Thank you is not enough! Thanks again

The auction committee wants you to know that you and your team did an amazing job. I have had so, so many compliments and a few “I would like to hire them for our function questions…..)

Hey Rob,
 
Thank you so much for putting on an incredible show. Lindsay and I had the most wonderful evening. The whole evening was truly spectacular! This was due to the fact that Sway played one of the most amazing horas we have ever been a part of. Thank you so much for you and the band taking the time to learn the songs that we had requested. We were in such awe with the way they were played. Please pass this thanks on to everyone in the band, you all did a fantastic job and Lindsay and I could not be happier with the results. Many of our guests were raving about the band, and they could not believe that there was such a talent like this in Ottawa. We sincerely hope that you guys get all the success that you deserve.

Again thank you so much for being a part of our special day.
Darren and Lindsay Morenstein


Hey Rob
You guys were amazing (as expected!).  Warren and I are just thrilled to pieces with the results, the comments, the fun of the evening.  The songs you learned were extremely well done ... no one would know that you just learned them. You all did an amazing job. Thanks again - any time you need a reference, you've got a glowing one!

Rhonda Scharf, ON THE RIGHT TRACK Training & Consulting


Rob, Janna and I can't stop raving about the phenomenal job that you did on our wedding night!!  You made our night - your energy, diversity of the songs you played, and of course the high quality of the music made the night as special as it was.  I want to thank you and the band for all your hard work and for giving us such a wonderful night to remember.And of course, I will certainly be referring your group to anyone who asks!

Thanks again Rob!

All the best,

David & Janna Friedman


Rob,Music is a very important part of our lives...and it was perhaps the single most important part of the party Sunday evening.  The music selection.....the flow.....your banter with the crowd......Syl's appearances on the dance floor to liven up an already alive group of guests....it was electric and.....hmmm...let me think of the right word...unforgettable.. Everyone is still raving about the music……it was FABULOUS. Everyone wanted to know who you were and where we found you. They couldn't believe you were from..."these here parts"....a local treasure. It was such a pleasure working with you and we are so grateful for your attention to detail. We enjoyed every moment!

We wish you every success. Thanks for answering all our musical dreams for this wedding.

Sincerely,

Stephen & Brenda Saslove
