Review Centre: Wedding Bands

"My professional organization hired Simon Burke and his band to play at an after-conference happy hour event. The song selection was wonderful, and the band was perfectly set up to allow guests to talk to each other while also enjoying the music. We had so many positive comments from conference attendees who loved the music! Simon himself was a pleasure to work with and is very professional. We enjoyed the experience so much that we decided to hire him again for this year's conference. Highly recommend!"

"We ran into them at an outdoor event in my hometown, and honestly, I didn’t have high expectations because those events usually aren’t great—but these guys really surprised me. I even went up to congratulate them afterwards, they gave me a card and we chatted for a while. Such good vibes, I knew all the songs, the crowd was having a great time—in short, a total success. They asked if I could leave a review to support their project, so here it is—they truly deserve it."

"Erano fantastici. Molto gradevole. Era una festa per 80. Tutte le età. La musica (principalmente soft jazz che l'ho chiesto) ha fatto ballare tutti. Il volume era eccellente, né troppo alto né troppo basso. Sono ottimi musicisti. Il loro sound era esattamente come sul sito web. They were fantastic. Very personable. It was a party for 80 people. All ages. The music (principally the soft jazz that I had asked for) had everyone dancing. The volume was perfect, not too loud or too soft. They are excellent musicians. Their sound was exactly as recorded on the website."

"Amazing time had watching New Blanca Band at La Palmera . The band played brilliantly and the singer was absolutely amazing with her vocals. Great night had by all, in both entertainment and premises. We will definitely be returning to see this great live band again. We would definitely recommend this band for a great evening of entertainment. "

"BEST Party Ever! - - January 16, 2020 We booked the Josh West Trio for our New Year's Eve Party at a 55+ community. He came and blew us ALL away! I am still getting compliments on the party and the band from that night along with requests for them to come back, and soon! They were polite, came and set up and was ready to go on time and brought great lights and equipment to really give the entire party a great ambiance. They played not only what our age group loves, but newer music and some classics too. They were able to read the room and play a great mix of slow and upbeat dancing music. Normally in our community (even on New Year's Eve), people leave by 8:00 p.m. We had more than half the people stay until the toast at 10:00 p.m. (toasted with New York for an earlier night). He communicated great leading up to the date and asked all the right questions to ensure everything was covered. Thank you Josh for making this party the BEST one we've had!"

"Maria Ploumi is an exceptional laouto player and singer, seamlessly blending traditional Greek music with contemporary influences. Her recent performance with Chrysoula K. & Púrpura was a masterclass in musicality and emotion. With her expressive laouto playing and warm vocals, Ploumi added depth and texture to a diverse repertoire spanning Greece, Argentina, Portugal, Armenia, and Italy. The band’s unique instrumentation—kanun, flute, cello, and laouto—created a rich, immersive soundscape, with Ploumi’s precision and artistry standing out as a highlight. Her synergy with lead singer Chrysoula Kechagioglou and the rest of the ensemble was remarkable, delivering a performance that was both technically impressive and deeply moving. Maria Ploumi’s ability to bridge musical traditions makes her a standout artist in today’s world music scene. Whether leading with her laouto or harmonizing in song, she brings an authenticity and passion that captivates audiences."

"I can’t say enough good things about Groove Gang Avenue. It’s always challenging to hire a band or any other service from another country. Giuseppe did everything possible to make the process stress free. He was quick to respond, eager to accommodate all of our requests, and even suggested a video chat on WhatsApp a few months before the wedding to make sure we all knew what to expect. On the day of the wedding, the band drove from Rome to a small town outside Sorrento just for our wedding. After a quick consultation on where we wanted them to set up, they got to it and we were able to get back to handling other details. When our guests began arriving and the band started playing, I knew instantly that we had made the right choice. Our group instantly loved the music, from their standard repertoire up to a few songs that they learned just for us. The sound was balanced and full. I was also very glad that we went with the 5-piece group, since the saxophone added so much to the mood! Then, a rain shower blew through. As soon as we made the decision to move inside, the band started grabbing equipment and within 20 minutes they had set up indoors and were back to keeping the party going. Several times throughout the night I had a guest come up to me, nod toward the band and say: “They’re REALLY good!” And they are. I couldn’t be more glad that we chose Groove Gang Avenue to play for our wedding, and that they were willing to travel so far to make the party happen as wonderfully as it did! Wedding Date: 2025-03-13 Venue: Massa Lubrense, Italy Tom "

"I came to watch Hitchen Big Band at Pertuis Jazz Festival in 2017, while I was on holiday in France. Wow, what a great band! David has several groups, including small jazz bands also. Brilliant."
