Review Centre: Bossa Nova Bands

"Wonderfully atmospheric We asked the Jazz Centrale trio to play during the reception at our annual celebration for long-service awardees and retirees. Their music truly added an extra touch of atmosphere. They play brilliantly and have a wonderful repertoire. Definitely worth repeating!"

"We hired Romina and her band for our wedding at Casina Valadier in Rome and it was absolutely incredible. The music was elegant and beautiful, and Romina was so warm and professional throughout the whole process — she even joined us on several video calls since we were planning everything from Australia. On the day, she kindly passed the microphone for speeches whenever needed, which we really appreciated. Everything was perfect. We couldn’t have been happier — highly recommend Bossanova the best"

"Kars and his band were the perfect accompaniment to a very successful evening. Delightful easy-listening jazz followed by a sultry bossa nova atmosphere. Very high quality and stylish. Warmly recommended."

"We booked Rory for our daughters 21st where he played the piano for a relaxed drinks reception in the house, followed by sax working with the DJ in a much more lively party setting afterwards over at our annexe. Rory blended in perfectly in both settings, with relaxed sets being played on the piano followed by very engaged, immersive sets with the sax on the dance floor with our guests. He really just gets on with his thing and really made the event that extra special and received a ton of compliments from some very happy guests. We would whole heartedly recommend."

"I am happy to confirm that you and your colleagues on the sax, bass and piano indubitably added greatly to the atmosphere of the evening. Lots of the guests commented very enthusiastically on how much they had enjoyed the music. My feeling is that you added warmth, sparkle, and a sense of celebration to the evening, and the range and style of play was perfect to modulate between grabbing peoples attention and providing harmonious background, as appropriate for the stage in the proceedings. I was also appreciative of how flexible you were about the times of taking a break so that there was always music except during the brief interlude for speeches. I was delighted to have found you through Music Students for Hire and would definitely recommend not only you and your colleagues but Music Students for Hire too."
