"Absolutely professional and punctual and an excellent performance. We will look to book them again as well as recommend them to others! -- Crush E., Melbourne, FL Andy and his wife were perfect for our surprise 50th birthday party! Our theme was "Blue Ridge Country" so there music was the perfect accompanienment for the evening. The guest of honor even clogged for all in attendance to the music they played. Great fun! They even learned a new song that was requested for the evening! I would definitely consider them for any party I would be hosting for the future. Thank you both for making the night special! -- David, Hollywood, FL Great couple...perfect music for our party! -chris m, Lakeland, FL Exactly as promised. On time, played well and adapted to the conditions of our event. Very responsive and pleasant despite very last minute booking! Our guests loved the surprise -Denise G, Winter Park, FL Andy was just wonderful for my moms 60th party.... i am so happy that i booked him! -Rebecca F, Mount Dora, FL Andy Burr and Friends did a great job for us at the 90th birthday party for my stepdad! We were very pleased with their performance. I would highly recommend them. Andy was very easy to work with and the group was very talented! -Tom S, Douglasville, GA Andy and friend were awesome. We had several special requests (for he's the jolly good fellow), and 5 or 6 songs to be sung by one of our guests with Andy and friend accompanying. They were gracious, accommodating and a hit with all. Several of our guests went so far as to ask for Andy's contact information. I think that says it all.... -Jack S, Lake Park, GA Great show. The crowd enjoyed every minute of the performance. -Hank P, Jacksonville Beach, FL Andy and his wife Sara are easy going and accommodating. We loved their personalities and their music, and our whole party did as well. If I have another backyard party I would have them again! I want to add that they were so nice to let us have an open mic with their equipment. They let our sons play some songs and let our nephew play his sax and gave him some professional coaching along the way. They are true professionals and all this made the night super special. -Chrissy R, Jacksonville Beach, FL They were absolutely perfect!!!! -Jill Z, Tampa, FL Andy Burr and friends were amazing at our Colony Cove Harvest Festival. They were on time, professional, and our community members loved them! We are planning another harvest festival at a sister property and will absolutely call Andy Burr and friends to come and perform for those guests as well. Great people, wonderful music, and a real crowd pleaser! Thank you, guys! Beth Blankenship Eastern Marketing Coordinator Equity Lifestyle Properties -Beth B, Ellenton, FL What a great group of people. On time, professional, great music! -Mary Jane T, Ocala, FL They Were Great! The crowd loved them! -Robert S, Rome, GA They were completely amazing for our wedding. Very talented, friendly and professional. I highly recommend!!!! I can't thank you guys enough!! -Ashley S, Titusville, FL Wonderful performers--personable and engaging--we so enjoyed having them with us! -Melinda M, Melbourne, FL Andy Burr's band did a great job at our 70th Birthday-- contacted us immediately to discuss the event, the venue, etc. They require only a plug in to perform! We loved that we could preview his songs on his website. He accommodated our special song. It was difficult because people were hadn't seen each other for over 20 years.... everyone was chatty, which is somewhat disrespectful; but no problem. Two outgoing youngsters that wanted to perform and Andy very graciously accommodated --to the delight of the adults. They were very professional, very accommodating, very flexible, very easy to work with, great music. We'd recommend them highly. -Sharon S, Orlando, FL Andy and Sarah are wonderful performers and great people. Our Community enjoyed both their company and their talent. Their style is relaxed and friendly. They interacted with our members in a relaxed manner in total conformity with the "Country Friendly" nature of the event. Marilyn Black Dussault, President Vero Palm Estates HOA BOD -Marilyn D, Vero Beach, FL Mountain Brew was excellent! Certainly made me want to boot scoot! Unfortunately our crowd was pooped after playing 18 holes and were too tired to dance. -Kelly F, Sarasota, FL A really good group for our Irish Celtic Festival, the sound, equipment and music was very appropriate. Next year we want to try and amplify them louder so they can be heard all the way to the back of the festival field. -Lori B, Bradenton, FL Andy and friend arrived on time. Extremely nice and wonderful to work with. They performed extremely well and were very accomodating when we interrupted to make announcements. -Rita J, Pompano Beach, FL"

"Carla, Dino, Guglielmo, and Angelo of Barbera & Champagne performed at my wedding in June 2025, and I truly couldn’t have asked for a more perfect experience. From the very beginning, communication and coordination with Carla was seamless. She was warm, responsive, and incredibly professional. Her voice is absolutely stunning, and the entire quartet brought such vibrant energy to the celebration. Their performance of romantic classics in English, Italian, Spanish, and French added an elegant, heartfelt touch that made our wedding feel like a dream. So many of our guests commented on how unforgettable the music was. Grazie mille to Barbera & Champagne for making our special day even more memorable!"

Thank you so much Nicole for having us at your wedding and for your very kind words about our performance! We had a great time too, the medieval Abbey was incredibly fascinating and everything in the place expressed a positive energy. Our best wishes to you and your husband!

"If you’re looking for a band that brings the heart and soul of Greek music to life, Synthesi is an absolute must-see! I’ve had the pleasure of experiencing their electrifying performances multiple times at the Ventura County Greek Festival, and they never fail to steal the show. This talented five-piece ensemble, with their mastery of bouzouki, violin, keyboards, bass, and drums, delivers a seamless blend of traditional and contemporary Greek tunes that gets everyone on their feet. Synthesi’s energy is infectious, their musicianship impeccable, and their ability to connect with the crowd is unmatched. At the Ventura County Greek Festival, they’ve become a beloved staple, filling the air with vibrant melodies and rhythms that transport you straight to the Mediterranean. I’ve watched them ignite the dance floor year after year, encouraging festival-goers to join in the fun with open dancing and an irresistible spirit of celebration. Mark your calendars for June 20, 21, and 22, 2025, because Synthesi is set to return to this year’s Ventura County Greek Festival—and trust me, you won’t want to miss it! Whether you’re a longtime fan of Greek music or just looking for an unforgettable live experience, Synthesi brings the perfect mix of authenticity, passion, and pure joy. Hands down, they’re one of the hardest-working and most captivating Greek bands on the West Coast. Book them, see them live, and prepare to be blown away! Opa! "

"I've just want to say what a fantastic evening we had dancing at the Ceilidh. We were visiting Edinburgh for a special birthday on Burns night as I'd always wanted to celebrate it in Scotland. Though our kids / young adults (13 & 16) were the youngest there, we were all warmly welcomed. The music was great, the calling helped us get to grips with the dances, and the atmosphere was fantastic. We all thoroughly enjoyed ourselves, thank you! Thanks again for an amazing night."

"We couldn’t be more thrilled with Cindy and Amanda, the incredible musicians who performed at our daughter’s wedding. From the moment they started, they set the perfect tone for our daughter and son-in-law’s special day. Their talent, professionalism, and musical ability were truly remarkable and have been a blessing to us. Lisa Price"

"Amazing proposal with help of Ayden I proposed to my girlfriend, now fiancé while Ayden played for us at a park. He was great at coordinating the time and place to meet, and I was able to be discreet so my girlfriend was surprised. He did an amazing job playing the song, and had a great set up for recording the whole event on his phone so we could have a video. He was easy to talk to and very friendly. I highly recommend."
