I am in SHOCK!!!!

Okay, I had a great wedding except for my jazz trio, National Boulevard, bailed out on me after the ceremony. here is the review that I posted on this board and on this site. I gave them an F:

National Boulevard Jazz Trio - F!!!!!!! From all accounts they showed up on time, and the hall (or someone in my family, I don't know) gave them bad directions as to where to set up, so they had to set up twice. They seemed to be confused, bringing up things that I had discussed and dismissed with them 6 months ago. Also I hear that the hall was rude to them about a number of things, including finding an outlet for their amps. They played the ceremony beautifully as well, if low. But, because of the problems they had WITH MY HALL, they BAILED FOR MY COCKTAIL HOUR!!!!!! Yes, you heard correctly - they declared the ceremony a gift to me and Arie, and JUST LEFT. My wedding coordinator showed them their contract with stated that they were to play 2 hours, but Karla (the leader) was so 'offended' by my hall she couldn't stay!

Well, LOOK WHAT I JUST FOUND - scroll down to 'Testimonals':

Obviously they didn't ask my permission! I have contacted them to remove my quote ASAP. Can you believe that?!

Oh my goodness. That is so rude!! I would definitely print that out and then can't you file a complaint with BBB? There has to be some law against that!

OMG... I can't believe that... they took one little quote from you which looks as if you were totally satisfied with them...

I was trying to be fair with that line. I wrote my review of them for this site (cause they advertise on here) and we had a few he said/she said with the administrators (they said that the hall would have made them repack and drive around and set up again, first time I heard that), and the review never went up. I decided just to drop the whole thing and move on with my life, but then I found this and I'm pissed off all over again! I think I will file with the BBB now.
