"A true hidden gem! We hired Massive Groove Band for our wedding and it was the best decision we made. Having been to many weddings where the band was underwhelming, finding a great band for our event was very important to us. MGB is unique in how refreshing both its lineup and talent is. They are also incredibly easy to work with. All our guests are still raving about the music!"

"Une note d’élégance et de chaleur, sans fausses notes ! Pour le cocktail de notre mariage, nous avions décidé en secret de faire appel à Marie Carrié et ses deux musiciens. C’était exactement comme nous l’avions imaginé : une ambiance chaude et jazzy (en restant accessible à toutes les oreilles 😊). Présent et discret à la fois, le groupe à apporté les notes d’élégance qui tapissent encore nos souvenirs de ce moment inoubliable. A cela s’ajoute leur professionnalisme : arrivés à l’heure, installés et prêts à jouer lorsque nous sommes remontés de la mairie. Ouverts à la discussion avec nos invités pendant leur pause et tout simplement ravis de partager ce moment avec nous. Merci encore, et bonne continuation !"

"I would like to extend my appreciation and thanks for such a top flight, professional and enjoyable performance from The Crotchet Club last weekend. The atmosphere you created was just right for the occasion and your pre-event organisation must have been very well done as your arrival and departure was not even noticed........just the wonderful music in between."

"We’re so glad we chose Bijou Trio for our wedding! They brought such a beautiful energy to the day and were incredibly easy to work with from start to finish. The music was absolutely top-tier - very clean and elegant and absolutely charming and professional. Everything surrounding their performance was seamless: clear communication, perfect timing, and a truly polished experience. We loved having them and couldn’t recommend the trio more highly for any special occasion!"

"We used Fleur and team for the cocktail part of the evening and it was good background entertainment. Fleur has a great tone. I also saw her at a smaller party and she did a good job then."

"Arsen was incredibly professional and a brilliant sax player. This was for the drinks reception after a Hindu wedding and we requested some Bollywood songs. Arsen spent time in the weeks leading up to the event learning Bollywood songs so that he could perform what we requested along with his own playlist. He hit the brief and got the vibe straight away. He is extremely friendly and well mannered. I would recommend him time and time again to anybody in Dubai looking for a sax player. "

"A service at the top! For our wedding we relied on Wedding notes for the entire musical entertainment from the ritual and was a winning choice! Marica and Antonino, in addition to being wonderful people have proven super professional from the first contact and we were satisfied in every request with great flexibility! The musical accompaniment with Antonino’s violin and the piano left us speechless, they masterfully played our tracks of the heart creating moments of intense emotion! For the reception we chose to entertain our guests with the wonderful swing quartet and then move on to the pop duo, talented performers and there were moments of salsa as requested and group dances on the finale! A spectacular coordination... they collaborated with the rest of the team very well! What can I say! Wonderful... we would rewrite them another 1000 times! "

"In November we chose the Trio for our tenth wedding anniversary party and they were the perfect choice! We had viewed various bands on YouTube and contacted a few. They were by far the most responsive and even sent us videos of our song requests in advance. On the night they were super helpful and truly got the party going for us. Would hire them again in a flash!"

"Randy and his team blew me away at our wedding!! I hired Randy when my wedding planner suggested he do the entertainment and I’m SO happy I did! When I visited Rome to meet with vendors months out from the big day, I sat down with Randy as he wanted to understand my taste in music. He asked me what I like. “I’m an old soul, Randy… I love Elvis!” He looked really confused, haha, as I’m sure he had never heard that one before! Come wedding day, Randy and his band were playing and singing Elvis songs and they did a phenomenal job!! The violinist and saxophonist were spectacular and they played all night on the dance floor with the DJ. It was SO much fun!! Our wedding was a few weeks ago and all of our guests are still talking about the music! I can’t recommend Randy and his team enough. They handled all the entertainment and all the music for every aspect of the wedding. Truly terrific! "

Hi Lauren, Your words truly moved me — thank you from the bottom of my heart. It was such a pleasure to be part of your day and to help shape the energy, the music, and the joy that filled your wedding. When you told me, “I’m an old soul… I love Elvis,” I knew we had something special to create. Seeing you smile as we played those songs — that’s exactly why I do what I do. For me, your wedding was one of the most beautiful weddings of the year. I’ll cherish it always, and I’m truly honored that the music left a lasting impression on you and your guests. Wishing you and Michael a life full of dancing, soul, and rock & roll. And whenever you think about Rome… you know where to find us. Warmly, Randy

"I recognise immediately that these serious musicians are challenging the listener and themselves to play outside the box.(...) Music Soup is a good name for this trio of musicians because they embrace a mixed bag of styles and musical concepts that mirror their decade of playing together and their individual personalities... ... Because they have been working together for ten years, Music Soup has a tight, cohesive sound. Their music is well written and produced. On “Your Song” horns join the group. Special guests Dimitris Papadopoulos on trumpet, Dimitri Vassilakis on tenor sax and Antonis Andreou on trombone fatten the sound. However these horns, (nicely arranged by Haris Ziouva) are merely icing on the creative cake that Karlafti and Dimopoulos have baked. Nestor’s bluesy guitar and Evgenia Karlafti’s organ mastery are the fireworks of this production. "
