"The Jersey Surecats drove about 70 miles in a snow storm for my daughter's wedding. They provided light cocktail music. Then played a wide variety of toe tapping dance cover songs. They were the life of the party. In fact, several guests inquired about them so that they can hire them. They even learned several songs for the wedding. They were cooperative and went the extra mile for us."

"Talented, Kind, and Professional We hired The Sidewalk Crusaders to play at our 10-year anniversary event. Peter and Co. were everything we wanted and more! Quick to respond to questions, provided all the needed info, punctual, and most importantly were beyond talented musicians that brought our evening to life. Our guests were thoroughly impressed with their performances. We’d asked them to do covers of two (very different) songs, which were to play at specific times during our ceremony, and they were able to perform them beautifully and exactly how we’d envisioned it. Their ability to play a variety of songs and improvise on the spot was also very impressive. Can’t recommend them enough. Thank you guys for helping making our night so memorable!"

"Thank you all so much for the excellent entertainment you gave us at the Christmas function. I wasn't sure what to expect but you all knew the great songs to play and please everyone that was there. I especially loved the jazzed up versions of the Christmas songs! Thank you again and we hope to have you back."

" I BEYOND THANK YOU AND YOUR BAND! When I tell you that you guys were all people were buzzing about!!! The music was excellent and there were so many compliments. There were a few last min changes like Chilly Bill Smith so he didn't know that they were not supposed to sing but it worked out and everyone joined in from what I could hear from the lobby. Oh and the 'church' banter was perfect. I am sure a few of them would caught the Holy Ghost if yall kept going...lol The chemistry was fantastic! When Ms. Ava is happy then we are all happy - lol."

"We had Blue Moon Italian Jazz band for our welcome party, at Castello di Montalto on the 31st May 2024. All I can say is, wow. They were incredible. They really set the tone for the start of our wedding weekend. Not only was their communication brilliant throughout, they were easy-going and stress free as a supplier. The music itself was beautiful and they are extremely talented. I would absolutely recommend booking them for your wedding. Thank you so much for making our wedding weekend so special. "

"We were so thrilled to have a live band for our wedding at Il Borro( Tuscany). We saw the great reviews for Blue Moon but we and our guests were completely blown away by their repertoire and talent! They even learned our first dance songs, which were admittedly a little obscure. They are such kind people and were flexible with changing the location of their set up from outside on the terrace to inside in the library due to weather. You will love having this band at your wedding and you will always remember their energy, talent and kindness! "

"We had The Street Foxes for our wedding in Spain and it was the best decision we made. They did two sets for us; one as a trio and one as a full band, showcasing their versatility in being able to provide a chilled, ambient vibe and then swiftly being able to get the party started. We had SO many compliments from our guests during the day and after. Above all, Liam, Ceci and the band are actually just lovely people and professional to deal with, which eased our minds when having to deal with many other parts of the day. Their communication from the first intro call right through to the end of the actual wedding day was fantastic and it ran as smoothly as it possibly could. Overall, we could not recommend them more whether you are getti my married in Spain or elsewhere in Europe (or even further!) - they are more than worth it. Thanks again to the band for making our day so special."

"Igor played the saxophone at our wedding this Saturday and not only did we absolutely love it but so did our guests. After searching for the perfect saxophonist to play at our wedding we had multiple recommendations for Igor and after listening to his demo videos we knew we had to have him. He was so easy to work with and very responsive. 10/10 recommend!!"

"Definitely the best "surprise" of the day. Strettino Jazz Band were fantastic during all the different phases of the wedding, from the ceremony to the cutting of the cake! The guys are absolutely fantastic and accommodated my every request. I would get married again just to hear them live again and enjoy them more! Absolutely highly recommended!!!"

" Recensione per Denise Giardino. Ho avuto il piacere, ormai da alcuni anni di conoscere La cantante Denise Giardino. Sin dalla prima volta che ebbi l’opportunità di ascoltarla dal vivo, rimasi molto colpito dalla sua voce e capacità interpretativa. Avevo ascoltato molti artisti, anche negli Usa, in varie occasioni, ma l’interpretazione artistica di Denise, mi colpì molto essendo unica e molto particolare. Pur avendo ascoltato delle “covers” la, prima volta , ma anche in seguito avendo potuto ascoltare sui brani inediti, la particolarità interpretativa di Denise, si coniuga artisticamente con un timbro vocale caldo, la cui vibrazione rimanda direttamente a grandi interpreti della musica Statunitense soul, jazz e blues. Accompagnata sempre da grandi maestri con chitarra, sax, tastiere ed altri strumenti, le sue vocalizzazioni penetrano nell’animo dell’ascoltatore con intensità artistica unica e singolare, ripeto, degna dei più grandi interpreti che la storia della musica jazz possa ricordare. Geograficamente forse non nel luogo migliore, per far emergere ed apprezzare le sue innate qualità artistiche, Denise Giardino, se fosse nata negli USA, sarebbe stata già senz’altro conosciuta ed avrebbe avuto un eco “ artistico” senz’altro di maggior rilievo, come in effetti senz’altro merita. In occasione delle sue apprezzatissime rappresentazioni musicali in Firenze per le celebrazioni internazionali con la nazione Lakota Sioux ed alla presenza dell’attore Americano Mr Moses Brings Plenty, ( apparso recentemente in varie serie della Paramount Pictures come Yellowstone e LawMan) , anche Mr. “ Mo”, non ha potuto non esprimere il suo fervido apprezzamento per le performance musicali di Denise Giardino, definendola degna dei più importanti appuntamenti artistici di Hollywood. Senza dubbio Denise Giardino, è una cantante di notevole spessore musicale-interpretativo, capace di far vibrare il cuore e l’anima del pubblico che avrà il privilegio di ascoltarla. Di spessore significativo i brani in italiano da lei scritti ed interpretati, poesie dell’anima, per far vibrare i cuori. Con stima sincera Prof. Dr. Alessandro Martire Rappresentante in Italia della Nazione Lakota Sioux- Rosebud "

"Igor performed at our wedding during cocktail hour in August 2025. He was absolutely fabulous and a consummate professional. His range of songs were amazing and many of our guests commented on how talented he was. He was very organized and coordinated so well with our DJ to make the process seamless. Thank you, Igor!"

"We couldn’t be happier with Jacky and the other band members. From the moment we initially enquired right up until our day Jacky was easy to reach, polite and helpful. On the day we were blown away, they played absolutely brilliantly and I felt like they never stopped the whole day. They came smartly dressed too so looked the part! Thank you so much Jacky and the band for making our wedding so special. If you are thinking of booking, don’t think, do it and I promise you will not be disappointed!"
