"Choosing the right musician for a wedding on Lake Como means looking for someone who can live up to the beauty and solemnity that such a setting demands, and Ivan Bergamo exceeded all our expectations. From our very first contact, Ivan proved to be a professional who is extremely attentive to detail. We didn't just want standard background music; we were looking for someone who could interpret the unique atmosphere of our lakeside venue, and Ivan curated the selection of pieces with an artistic sensitivity that is truly rare. On the wedding day, his performance was flawless. Despite the logistical challenges that lakeside locations often present, Ivan arrived with all his own professional equipment, managing the setup independently and ensuring perfect sound quality for both the ceremony and the aperitif. His touch on the piano created a magical atmosphere: elegant and sophisticated, yet never intrusive—the perfect accompaniment to our guests’ view across the lake. What we appreciated most was his adaptability: he was able to transition effortlessly from more solemn classical pieces to contemporary songs that meant a great deal to us, masterfully personalizing the soundtrack of our day. If you are looking for a musician who combines excellent piano technique with a great willingness to help and a genuine ability to read the emotions of the moment, Ivan is undoubtedly the best choice. He helped make our Lake Como wedding a dream come true, turning every instant into an indelible musical memory. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts, Ivan!"

"We chose this piano and cello duo for our wedding, and it was honestly one of the most memorable elements of the entire day. From the very beginning, they showed a level of professionalism and care that immediately put us at ease. Planning a wedding can be stressful, but working with them felt simple and well-organized. What really stood out was how much attention they gave to understanding our vision. We didn’t just want background music—we wanted something emotional, elegant, and capable of enhancing the most important moments of the ceremony. They guided us through the choice of pieces, offering suggestions that were both refined and perfectly suited to our style. On the day of the wedding, everything was flawless. They arrived early, set up discreetly, and created an atmosphere that was simply magical. The combination of piano and cello is incredibly powerful—the piano provides structure and harmony, while the cello adds warmth and depth. During the ceremony, the music was so moving that several guests told us they had goosebumps. The transition into the reception was equally perfect. The duo adapted effortlessly, shifting to a lighter and more relaxed repertoire while maintaining the same level of elegance. It never felt intrusive, but it always added something special to the atmosphere. Many guests came up to us asking who they were, which says a lot about the impact they had. It felt like having a live soundtrack tailored specifically for our day. We highly recommend this duo to anyone planning a wedding or event. They truly bring something unique and unforgettable."

"Marini is a very courteous, humble, flexible, and most of all, talented and servant-hearted musician! She can play music that she reads, and she can improvise when she needs! She's highly professional, but still humble and is able to work with us on the fly when circumstances change, here and there. She's always to go the extra mile if it means a satisfied client, and a job we'll done! Definitely recommend!"

"We had Fernando and the Tavares Jazz Band perform at our wedding, and we absolutely loved having them there. Their performance was fantastic, all our guests really enjoyed the music, and they made the atmosphere of the day even more special and unforgettable. There really is nothing quite like having live music at an event like this! It was also a pleasure working with Fernando throughout the whole process. He was extremely professional, communicative and reliable, and we felt completely reassured that everything would go smoothly on the day. Thank you so much, Fernando, and thank you to the whole band for being part of our wedding! We would highly recommend the Tavares Jazz Band to anyone looking to make their event extra special with some brilliant live music."

"A wonderful experience with Jay. He was so responsive when we first contacted him about our event in Stonington CT (a birthday party for my mother with approx. 40 guests at the La Grua Center), and his repertoire spanned all of the types of music were were looking for (jazz, classical, some show tunes). His playing was just so lovely at the event. A pleasure to meet him and have him join this event. My mother was so thrilled and it made her birthday very special. Many thanks to Jay. Highest recommendation."

"PAZ DEL CASTILLO is one of the top pianists and modern-classical composers in all of Spain, and her recent albums have spread her exceptional music worldwide. Now she sums up her career so far with her latest album TRES: BEST OF PAZ DEL CASTILLO. But this is more than just a Best Of compilation. Yes, it does have eight of the best tracks from her studio albums over the past few years, but it also has three new tunes never before on an album, plus two pieces from her first album which was primarily heard just in Spain. This means a big chunk of this album is new to the world. Five of the original compositions originally appeared on her NOW album which was a Top 5 recording on the main international chart for gentle contemporary instrumental music (the Zone Music Reporter Top 100 Chart). Whether playing soft or forcefully, del Castillo has an immediate appeal with that certain something that is the mark of a truly original and great pianist. Simply sensational."

"Excellent service, very professional, and all our guests complimented us on the musical entertainment. Paolo was unbeatable at the piano, the musician who accompanied the civil ceremony on the violin literally brought us to tears of emotion, and the singer was incredible, keeping us dancing for as long as possible. Outstanding!"
