"I would hire Jon again and again! Everyone at our wedding loved listening to him perform during our cocktail hour and part of our dinner. We wanted to hear a specific musician's songs that other saxophonists said would be too difficult, but Jon did not hesitate and executed the music wonderfully! Not only is he professional and easy to communicate with, but he is also very kind. Jon stepped in and helped with a planning mishap at my wedding. He plugged our thumb drive into his laptop to play our first dances through his speakers since our DJ was not scheduled to be there for a couple more hours. Without Jon's help, I'm not sure how we would have played the music for our first dances. He is calm under pressure and a talented performer. Thank you, Jon! "

"Highly recommended The evening was a great success, partly due to the fantastic performance by the trio. The passion and professionalism displayed by the musicians fit seamlessly with the experience we wanted to offer our guests. I’ll certainly keep you in mind for future events and will gladly recommend you to colleagues. "

"Jon and Susan have performed for many years in many different venues, and can easily adapt different styles of music to different events from nightclubs to weddings. I especially enjoy their wedding performances, where their ethereal, romantic melodies reflect beautifully the intimacy of the occasion. Jon and Susan are talented, seasoned professionals -- Susan with her keyboard, flute, and lovely vocals, and Jon on his keenly expressive guitar. We have used them for family weddings, and related events like rehearsal dinners, and have been very happy with them."

"Kenny Kirby [2021] - Playin' The Cracks (Selected Tracks) [Philly Fillet Records] I came across this artist via DJ Melismo's (aka Mats Olofsson) latest podcast in which he played "Someday We'll All Be Free" (and what a version!), so decided to check out the rest of the album Kenny Kirby's name may not be well known but he has been performing for over forty years with top acts such as Van Morrison, Charlie Grace, Sly & The Family Stone, Delfonics, Three Degrees, Major Harris, Billy Paul, Intruders, Blue Notes, Soul Survivors and was conductor for The Tymes. He is a piano player from Birmingham, AL, and released, what looks like, his debut album "Playin' The Cracks" in April. It is mainly covers, smooth jazz, some instrumentals and some quite MOR tunes, but three tracks did get my attention. I'm fairly sure it's not Kenny singing as some of the vocals are female. No one else is credited on the album, so I'm guessing they are unnamed guest vocalists on the vocal tracks. The three tracks are a cover of Donny Hathaway's "Someday We'll All Be Free", "Some Things Never Change" and "Ultimate Lover" a song written by Linda Creed and Dennis Matkosky."

"We hebben de saxofonist geboekt voor onze bruiloft en het was een fantastische ervaring! Vanaf het eerste contact was zij super meedenkend en dacht actief mee over wat het beste bij onze gelegenheid zou passen. Tijdens de show straalde zij pure energie uit en wist iedereen meteen in de juiste sfeer te brengen. De muziek was professioneel. Van rustige, sfeervolle nummers tot aan energieke hits."

"Jacob was absolutely excellent to work with. He has an excellent set list for weddings and even offered to learn a couple of songs that we requested. All the guests were blown away by him! He was super professional and great vibes. So pleased that we chose to work with Jacob! "

"I planned a surprise 40th birthday for my husband from out of state and I knew I definitely wanted a band, but not being from that area made it a challenge. I have to say hiring Dennis and The Way band was the best decision I made for that party. They were so good we even paid for an extra hour! We were singing karaoke at the end, the kids were learning the drums and everyone was just having a blast. I would hands down hire them again and recommend them to anyone."

"Choosing the band Hot Wings for our wedding was the best choice we made. At the beginning of our wedding planning we weren't sure if we needed a band, but now I know that we needed it at the maximum and it was Hot Wings :) Investing in a good band is really worth it. Hot Wings turned our day into an amazing experience. Even while getting dressed and getting ready before the ceremony, when I heard the sound check, I was excited to see how everyone on the dance floor would rock it out thanks to the music. I was looking forward to the concert, which was the highlight of the whole day. And it was unforgettable! Dear Hot Wings, you were amazing ❤ you are all very likeable and talented young people and we are very happy that you came to spend our day with us in the High Tatras. You created an indescribable atmosphere and gave us a party that we will remember for a very long time?."

"We have hired Hana a couple of times for our events on our yachts and she has even been available for us at very last minute with barely no time to prepare. She is great as a person and everyone is always amazed with her music. We have hired her with a pianist as well as a guitar player on different occasions and each time she has given us a great show."

"I enjoyed your music last Friday evening at Vino Bella in Issaquah. If you recall, you asked me if I had a song I'd like you to sing; you sang My Girl. I am going through a difficult time right now, and you lightened my heart for the evening and beyond. Thank you."

"What a spectacular service! From the cocktail band, with Jazz and bossa nova, where they had very good musicians and an incredible voice, to the DJ who did everything we asked of him, everything was incredible!"
