Marco Island Yacth ClubWedding at Marco Island

Ted Knight and the World's Smallest Big Band played for a wedding at Marco Island Yacht Club. The second-floor banquet room offered a picturesque view of the Gulf, the bridge to the mainland, and the many boats at anchor.

The bride, a catering professional with the Hyatt Grand in Washington, DC, was specific in her musical requests ("plenty of Sinatra and Ellington, and no YMCA",)and Ted was glad to oblige with a mix that included songs like Don't Get Around Much Any More and The Way You Look Tonight.

Quintet at Marco IslandWhen a little girl asked for something fast so she could dance with her daddy, Ted packed the dance floor with In the Mood.

Requests for Margaritaville, Volare and Can’t Take My Eyes Off of You were just as popular as I’ve Got You Under My Skin and Stardust, and everyone had fun. Click image to enlarge.

The band included Paul Magersuppe on sax and David Gibble on trumpet and fluegelhorn. Dave Tomasello played bass, and Jean Bolduc was on drums.

"We just have to let you know that the Ted Knight band completely made our reception last month!  We knew the music would be great, but our expectations were blown away. As a catering manager in DC, I rarely see a band that can get every last guest onto the dance floor as you all did with our wedding...Please let me know if we can ever be of assistance in recommending your service!"

Marco Island is located near Naples in southwest Florida. See map.
