"I recently booked Rory through Last Minute Musicians for a Valentines Day event in our corporate building reception, specifically for his saxophone performance. Rory pleasantly surprised us with an additional performance on the flute, adding an extra layer of charm to the occasion. Sarah-Jane Morriss team efficiently managed the communication and follow-up, ensuring a seamless experience. From start to finish, Rorys professionalism and talent shone through, leaving a lasting impression on everyone present. I wholeheartedly recommend Rory for any event requiring exceptional musical talent. His professionalism, versatility, and dedication make him a standout choice. Thank you, Rory, for making our event truly unforgettable."

"We had the pleasure of having this incredible jazz band perform at our wedding in Italy, and they truly made the night unforgettable! Their smooth, elegant sound created the perfect atmosphere, from a romantic cocktail hour to an upbeat reception. The musicians were exceptionally talented, professional, and knew exactly how to keep our guests entertained. If you’re looking for a wedding band that adds a touch of class and magic, this is the one. "

"I wanted to say that Rory and his trio were absolutely first class. They arrived in plenty of time before the event and were super talented. They helped create what felt like a scene out of a movie with all our friends standing around drinking champagne and chatting against the backdrop of the setting sun and superb jazz. I had lots of people asking after the band so I will be passing on your details, if you dont mind and keeping you in mind for all future events."

"Warmly recommended This is the second time I’ve organized a company party with live music from Jazz Centrale. The first time it was a jazz quartet with Bossa Nova singer Agnes, and this time a jazz quartet with jazz singer SaraLee. Both were equally great. Warmly recommended not only for the quality of the music but also for the smoothness of the organization. "

"As mentioned above Marlene is a very loved and regarded member of her Trio. They have offered up numerous themed Sailaways which we have utilized on a many occasions. They have a core group of 'fans' in the Club and are well liked. Their socializing and friendliness with guests has not gone unnoticed. The scores are also TOP at this point in their contract. Happy to have her on the team."

"Professional, engaging entertainment during our event We engaged Jazz Centrale to provide entertainment for the celebration of our anniversary. From the very start, communication was pleasant, and our wishes were carefully listened to. Our event was business-oriented and also intended for networking. The musicians from Jazz Centrale looked impeccable and played beautiful background music. This interaction was, once again, very enjoyable. It provided a delightful experience for our guests, whether to discuss it or simply enjoy it. Definitely recommended! "

"I hired Andre Ramos for my 60th birthday party which I planned from America. He was absolutely fantastic! He was very prompt in responding to my questions and arrived at the venue early. He coordinated the details with my venue prior to my arrival which was a big help. His talent, professionalism, and energy made the celebration unforgettable. His music created the perfect atmosphere — everyone was singing, dancing, and smiling all night. There were so many compliments from guests. I highly recommend f him for any event! Thank you "

"Thanks for your performance on Sunday. The feedback from my friends especially the ones in Paris and New York including myself is that you were a fluent saxophonist and performer. You maintained professionalism, joined as scheduled and added to the birthday ambience and energy. We look forward to future bookings."
