"Beautiful music Chris was pleasant and friendly and attentive to our needs. He played well. I should have been more clear about the timing of his playing, as we would have preferred more playing at the end of the service than the beginning, but I take responsibility for not making that more clear.

"Christos was amazing! We found him in gigheaven and from the very start he was very responsive, friendly and relaxed. The entire communication piece was very on point and when you’re organising a wedding where you don’t really have a lot of time, it’s important to be efficient in communications. Christos played the saxophone alone with background music and he was incredible! We asked him for a number of songs at specific times, we hadn’t met each other before the time of the event and everything went as planned and as requested with such ease. He learned all the songs (about 4h) within 10 days or so. Excellent overall, everyone liked him, as he was roaming around the venue playing! Couldn’t recommend him enough, he made my life easy in organising and he remains memorable to the majority of our guests! Thanks a lot Christo!! Jan& Anastasia"

"Michael and his band made the party. They were extremely professional (before the party I was already reassured by their professionalism and attention to detail). As soon as they started playing, the atmosphere of my party became joyful and fun, they sounded amazing (they play and sing fantastic and their sound system was great). It was my 50th birthday party with a mix of people from a broad range of nationalities and almost everyone was on their feet dancing because their music and presence was irresistible. Furthermore, they made me feel very special because they included my name in some of the songs that they played (it was all Cuban/Latinamerican as per my request) which was really fun. I would absolutely recommend them and would hire them again if I had another party. They were the highlight of my event (many guests of my party said this to me as well)."

"We had the absolute pleasure of having Tasos Sarioglou play the saxophone at our wedding, and he was simply incredible! His performance created the perfect atmosphere – romantic and elegant during the ceremony and cocktail hour, and then full of energy and excitement at the party. He knew exactly how to get everyone dancing and made the night unforgettable. Tasos is not only a talented musician but also very professional and easy to work with. He understood exactly what we envisioned and delivered beyond our expectations. We couldn’t have asked for a better addition to our special day, and we highly recommend him to any couple looking to make their wedding truly unforgettable!"

"I found myself in Salzburg for my father’s 80th birthday and wanted to arrange something special for the evening. I was lucky to find Yera and contacted him about playing an intimate concert for our little family. We spoke about all the details while I was still in Canada and the planning went extremely smoothly despite us being on different continents until the day of the concert. He and 2 of his colleagues arrived at our hotel and played an absolutely beautiful program for us in the hotel bar. The music was so powerful there wasn’t a dry eye in the room! Even some of the hotel staff stood in the back with huge smiles on their faces. If anyone reading this is thinking about doing something special for a loved one, look no further than Yera. It will be something you will never forget!"

"Julian and his duo partner performed at our outdoor wedding dinner in Tossa de Mar. Their harmonies were beautiful, and their music created a relaxed yet romantic mood throughout the evening. It felt so personal and special—just what we had hoped for."

"Ik was op het laatste moment (dag van tevoren) nog op zoek aar een fado zangeres en kwam in contact met Nicole. Ze was zeer meedenkend om het nog mogelijk te maken om langs te komen bij ons bedrijf voor een herdenking. Nicole was keurig op tijd en zong fantastisch! Ze wist de mensen in hart en ziel te raken met haar zuivere stem. Een echte aanrader !! Ilse Verweirder ZingendeZaag"

"During our performances on board the Caledonian Sky in Syros on May 20 and May 27, 2025, we received truly heartwarming feedback from both the guests and the ship’s personnel. The crew told us that our show was “elegant, soulful, and engaging from beginning to end.” They praised the warm Mediterranean atmosphere we created and highlighted how our mix of Greek, Turkish, Sephardic, and cinematic music was unique yet accessible — a perfect match for their international audience. They also mentioned how much they appreciated Eftyhia’s role as a native English speaker, noting that her introductions and communication with the guests made a real difference in creating connection and comfort throughout the evening. From the staff side, both Nicola and Craig, along with other crew members, personally expressed how impressed they were with our professionalism, flexibility, and musical quality. They made us feel genuinely welcome and valued, and even said they would be happy to host us again in the future. Our collaboration continues with great mutual respect and appreciation, and we look forward to more beautiful musical moments together."

"Booking Stefano and his team was one of our favourite choices of our wedding. They were absolutely phenomenal and exquisite. From the first conversation to the performances on our day, we were blown away with the level of attention to detail, skill, and passion shown by the team. We requested a list of custom songs for our day (most of which were non traditional, akin to a Bridgerton soundtrack per se) and the team performed each of them perfectly throughout the stages of our ceremony and dinner. Just gorgeous. We had guests exclaiming to us how amazing they were. If you’re seeking a high quality, super friendly, reliable, and exceptionally talented string quartet for your event, you have come to the right listing. Thank you so much to you Stefano and team, you made our special day so wonderful. Best wishes, Hayley and Liam"

"“Wonderfully atmospheric We asked the Jazz Centrale trio to play during the reception at our annual celebration for long-service awardees and retirees. Their music truly added an extra touch of atmosphere. They play brilliantly and have a wonderful repertoire. Definitely worth repeating!”"

"Really great musicians. The show is energetic with the complicity of a rich repertoire all revisited in an original, bold and polite style. The guitarists know each other by heart and the great fellowship is a solid basis for launching into rhythmic and virtuoso improvisations without ever losing the song. Recommended. Musicisti davvero grandiosi. Lo spettacolo è energico con la complicità di un repertorio ricco e tutto rivisitato secondo uno stile originale, coraggioso ed educato. I chitarristi si conoscono a memoria e il grande affiatamento è una solida base per lanciarsi in improvvisazioni ritmiche e virtuose senza perdere mai la canzone. Consigliati."

"Band Saptham set the stage on fire with their spectacular fusion of classical and contemporary tunes! Band Saptham, a gifted fusion music ensemble from the Bay Area, was formed by the passionate music teacher Rakhi R. Nath and her friends. Their performance was truly mind-blowing — from the excellent song selections to the outstanding instrumentalists, every piece was a delightful musical experience. Rakhi’s captivating voice added warmth and brilliance to every performance. She beautifully showcased her students through a variety of presentations — beginning with Sankarabharanam fusion, Hamsadhwani varnam fusion, and a Naattai medley that seamlessly blended classical keerthanais, film music, and Thyagaraja compositions. The evening continued with retro light music and a multilingual mash-up that had the audience clapping and cheering with excitement. Rakhi’s creative arrangements, her soulful voice and impeccable presentation kept everyone glued to their seats from start to finish. The energy in the hall was truly infectious & left the audience cheering for more! "
