"Greg O'Callaghan — 28 November 2023 Wedding In Chamonix, France "Doug was truly exceptional during our wedding day, playing a pivotal role throughout. He didn't just close the night with an incredible DJ set; he was the backbone, providing all the microphone and audio support for the ceremony and speeches throughout the entire day. Right from our initial meeting, Doug exuded professionalism and experience. His detailed questions about the day's proceedings showcased his dedication to preparation. On the day itself, despite multiple adaptations due to rain during the ceremony, Doug executed flawlessly. His expertise and calm demeanor gave us peace of mind; we knew everything was under control. His extensive experience with numerous weddings in the same local venues and with the same teams only heightened our confidence in him. Moreover, Doug's vast network within the local venues and music scene was invaluable. He not only facilitated finding a talented musician for the cocktail hour but also arranged for a fantastic band for the party. Without a moment's hesitation, we wholeheartedly recommend Doug if you're seeking someone reliable and proficient to handle all audio and DJ needs for your wedding day."

"Chris was fantastic! Chris was fantastic! We hired Chris just 24 hours before a wonderful large graduation party. He came all the way from Reseda to Newport Beach and played for over three hours straight. Everyone commented how great it was to have live music and his drums were beautiful sounding and his backing vocals made it much more fun and lively than just a steel drum presentation. We highly recommend Chris. He’s courteous, he showed up on time, he cheerful but most of all he’s a great entertainer for a classy party. Thank you Chris!"

"Last year my band Smacked Youth embarked on our first ever tour of UK and Europe all the way from sunny Australia. Our drummer was unable to make the tour so after some scrolling online I found my new friend for life Sebastian Fernandez. Seb learnt all of our set perfectly within a short period of time leading up to the tour. We touched down in Heathrow and then went to rehearsal where Seb absolutely nailed the drum parts. The next few weeks that followed were some of the most adventurous and memorable times I’ve had in my life. Was an honour to work with Seb and I will cherish our friendship forever."

"Booking Arthur (DJ Bigzy) and the saxophonist through Impulse Event was the best decision we made for our wedding in the South of France. The transition from the chic, elegant cocktail hour to the high-energy dancefloor was totally seamless. Arthur really knows how to read a crowd, he kept everyone from our college friends to our grandparents dancing until 3 AM. The live sax interacting with the guests on the dancefloor was pure magic. If you want a premium, festival-level party, book him immediately!"

"Amazing act, the best Rock music from the 60's,70's, 80's and 90's, also can do a Sinatra Big band show or a mix."

"Oh man! Where to start! I had seniors with Parkinson’s up and dancing! The upbeat, energetic music mixed with Caribbean-esc vocals had my seniors (ranging from 80 to 95 years old) up and moving like they were 20 again! I can’t say enough good things! Thank you so much for bringing so much life to our senior community!"

"We contacted Jord quite late into the planning of our wedding as had gone back and forth with budget in mind for a while whether to add bongos to our DJ and sax on the evening and were SO glad that we did. Jord was incredible and so reasonable! We had so many our our guests tell us that it was the best evening party of a wedding they’d ever been to and how they had never seen a dance floor so full all night long and they were right! This was one thing I’d worried about as have been to a lot of weddings where the dance floor goes quiet throughout the evening but with Jord, James and Danny (Jukebox DJ) we definitely didn’t need to worry! You were all incredible, our guests loved you and you really got involved with everyone of all ages! Jord really brought the party vibe that we wanted and can’t thank her enough. The Dales xxx"

"I’d give Chris. 10, if I could! Chris is extremely talented and personable. He started out as a performer for our party & ended up a friend. We will definitely have Chris at our parties going forward. He teaches you a lot about the history of music, about steel drums & he is amazingly talented! Chris is top notch & no one could go wrong hiring him to play for any event. Chris has my highest recommendation. "

"Sebastian Fernandez just recently joined us at Konk Studios for a few days of recordings on a pop musical score. We were blown away by Sebastian's talent - he was able to adapt very quickly to several different styles. He had no time in advance to listen to the tunes or arrangements(none were provided in advance for confidentiality), but he wasted no time bringing his instincts to the work and melding with the other musicians and composer / singer. Sebastian will be on our "go to" list of musicians as we continue to record at Konk and beyond due to his talents, professionalism and positive attitude! - Kipp Marcus - Composer/Producer/Performer"
