Say 'I Love You' With A Singing Monmouth County Valentine

MONMOUTH COUNTY, NJ — Some folks like chocolate, chocolate or a reservation at a nice restaurant.

But if you want to make a lifelong impression, consider this year sending your loved one a singing Valentine, presented by none other than the Chorus of the Atlantic, the Red Bank-area chapter of the Barbershop Harmony Society.

This barbershop quartet will travel all over Monmouth and Ocean County this Valentine's Day to deliver your loved one the gift of song. It is truly a memorable experience for the recipient and the group's members have many wonderful stories of lovers young and old, husbands, wives, co-workers and moms getting a surprise visit from four men in uniform. It is especially fun when the delivery is at a workplace or restaurant where others share in the joy.

Now is the time to place your order. The four male signers come in crisp white uniform and travel throughout the region to serenade lovers in four-part harmony. The quartets have performed in homes, offices, restaurants, warehouses, schools, the Hazlet bowling alley, surprised a lady at the gym (see above) and once even sang at a police academy. They will go anywhere to bring your message of love.

For $60, your loved one will receive two love songs, a long-stemmed rose and a memory to last a lifetime. You can schedule a quartet visit for any one of five days: Tuesday, Feb 11 through Saturday, Feb 15 by calling Jon Greene at 732-583-1684.
