"The Uptown Society Orchestra may have had six members, but it sounded as if it had twice as many as members blew triumphantly throughout New Years' eve night.

"Amazing addition to our wedding! Dan and Karen and the rest of the band were so talented! Dan also helped MC our event everything went absolutely perfect. They are a joy to work with and will take your event to the next level. Great communication and professionalism. Lucky to have them play some jazz on our big day!"

"We had the absolute pleasure of having Styliannie sing at our wedding cocktail reception, and she was truly one of the highlights of the day. From the start, she was incredibly professional and collaborative—she worked with us to curate the perfect playlist, blending timeless jazz classics from artists like Frank Sinatra, Etta James, and Ella Fitzgerald. Her voice is simply stunning—effortless, soulful, and full of warmth. The moment she started singing, it set the perfect ambience and brought a beautiful energy to the space. You couldn’t help but smile hearing her, and our guests were just as enchanted. We received so many compliments throughout the evening about how talented and engaging she was. Styliannie is not only an amazing performer, but also a genuinely lovely person. She brought a touch of glamour, grace, and joy to our special day. We couldn’t recommend her more highly!"

"Our 50th anniversary party was everything we had hoped it would be. Our guest list was a very broad age range and the Texas Gypsies were a huge hit. You should feel very lucky to have the privilege of their talent. Steve Curry, the manager was very helpful and easy to work with. Thank you again to the Texas Gypsies for helping make our party the success it was! K phillips"

"Thank you so much for performing on our wedding day. The weather was great and the guests on the terrace enjoyed your sets. The guests comments were very complimentary, you were very much appreciated by them. It was exactly what I had envisaged so you fulfilled a dream for me. So once again please accept and extend our sincere thanks to all concerned."

"What a fantastic band. We booked Steve & the band for my parent's 60th Wedding Anniversary. The music was fantastic and some modern songs were played too. Just brilliant and thank you for making their night extra special "

"This is to say that Gabriel Rosati has completed 6 weeks aboard "Crystal Harmony". During that time he has played in the Quintet and has done an excellent job playing all styles of Dance Band music. I would therefore recommend him, both for his playing and attitude both on & off the stage to any Band leader and can only say that he would be an asset to any band. January 1994"

"Absolutely the best!! All the guests at the reception commented on the band. I asked them to add a horn section, so we had an eight piece band and their soundman. The soundman went the extra mile and provided sound for the outdoor wedding ceremony also, and during the cocktail hour, some of the band members provided an acoustical set before the reception officially began. My daughter wanted a lot of the Sinatra sound and they delivered. She and her father danced to Sinatra's "Fly Me To The Moon" (George is a corporate pilot) and I will never forget the sight they made as they danced. A memory to hold forever in my heart and the memory definitely has the sound!! You can not go wrong with this band, whatever sound you want. And I think that they actually gave me more than I paid for. Truly marvelous and professional musicians!! My daughter's "do not play" list was basically "nothing cheesy". They were perfect and worth every penny."

"I hired Fine Whines to play at our 25th Wedding Anniversary garden party last summer. Their fab music really made the party go with a swing. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the music and event. Fine Whines are extremely professional and friendly. Highly recommended."

"As rock lovers, the concert was without a doubt the best part of the party! The guests also really enjoyed it and the atmosphere was spectacular with lots of dancing and moche in the mix. Furthermore, Laura was impeccable when it came to communication and flexibility in choosing songs. I would hire him again for a future party and highly recommend him if you want to have a rock wedding 🤟🏻"

"Dear Danilo, I noticed that we have not yet immortalised ourselves here. We will never, never, never forget 27.7.2019. You designed our dream wedding, shaped it, decorated it and made it an incredible experience. From the red shoes, to the wedding speech, singing that opened emotional doors, to the world's best party.....you left nothing out. In between always a good chat and the feeling that we have known each other for decades. We can only say thank you....and thank you again and again,,, even if that is not nearly enough. You remain our red thread...."
