"Lorraine and the Flames are hands down one of the best groups I've heard in a long time. We were hosting an outdoor Jazz and BBQ evening and the guys couldn't have been more amazing! The music was perfect and Lorraine's voice is sublime. They set the atmosphere and mood from the moment they started, and so many of our guests commented on how wonderful they were. Thank you so much, Lorraine and the Flames for a perfect evening. We look forward to working with you all again in the future. Freya "

"Thank you for an unforgettable performance in our wedding! Everyone has so much fun and enjoyed your music. They have a great selection of songs for a wedding party. They have also learned a few songs that we have requested and our chosen song for the first dance by London Grammar. Thank you again "

" Paul was amazing! We had Paul come play at our work Christmas party! He knows how to read a room and play music accordingly, everyone was raving about his sets. The only thing I would change is I would have booked him to play for longer!!! Would definitely recommend Paul, and will definitely be booking him for future events. "

"I asked David if I could watch one of the Studio Recording sessions for Hitchen Jazz Trio. I had already watched Hitchen Jazz Quartet at Villes-sur - Auzon Jazz Festival in 2021 and was super impressed by their show. When I came to the studio to watch the recording session, David and the guys were really friendly, and showed me and my kids how things are done in the studio. WOW!"

"Igor was phenomenal for our wedding. Throughout the entire process, he was super easy to work with. He sounded amazing, setting the tone for our cocktail hour and dinner to put all our guests in a great mood for the rest of the night. I would definitely use him again for future events and cannot recommend him enough."

"A great big thank you to The Downtowners for providing the best live music for our reception. They played all our requests and had the dance floor jumping! We loved the jazz trio at the beginning of the evening setting the mood for the rest of the night. I highly recommend The Downtowners for any function to get the party started and to keep it going!"

"Amazing job by Derrick, he played at my wedding and I was blown away by his professionalism and his understanding and willing to work around a hectic schedule. Not only did he play the saxophone amazingly he brought multiply music supplies for my other musicians I had playing for the ceremony. If I could give higher than 5 stars I would. I definitely will reach out for future music gigs ! Thanks again Derrick !"

"Incredible! Outdoor Event Activations ! We worked with Sidewalk Crusaders to help us launch an incredible and dynamic community activation on Bloor St in Toronto and was amazing to draw the crowds at TEDxToronto activation and get them involved. It was wonderful to work with the crew and team. We also commissioned the band to activate our Laneway Launch party. It was such an incredible experience and the band was able to really engage the audience from their style of music - very engaging and ubpeat, which was the vibrancy we were seeking for our event. Would be happy to recommend the band for future events!"

"Nadia and her team at Amare Strings were so easy and lovely to work with! Nadia was professional and responsive to email queries, had an extensive music list to choose from, made great suggestions when we were stumped and didn't know what to do, and even accompanied a friend who sang during our ceremony! The string trio played beautifully and the sound projected well throughout our outdoor ceremony. We are so thankful to Nadia and the Amare Strings team for their beautiful ceremony music!"
