"I hired Rick Holland Productions for my wedding and I thank my lucky stars I did. They were just an absolute solid band. I live in Toronto so the 10 piece band crossed the border for my wedding - our wedding coordinator said she'd never heard a band that good over her decade long career. I like to think I'm a genius for finding them ?? Kian K., Toronto, ON, CA"

"Ed and Paul played at our drinks reception at the Beverley Barn on 10th Aug. They were very professional throughout the afternoon and we couldn't have asked for any more. Everyone enjoyed the jazz and they really helped the afternoon to go smoothly. I'd recommend them to anyone looking for music at their wedding."

"sam's performance was fantastic. From welcoming our guests, to her final song she was a joy for our audience to behold. I would highly recommend her to anyone wanting something a little different yet very special." Grant Atkins Samurai Brighton I am the French guy who talked to you at the break at your Piaf show at the latest on Sunday. I wanted to say how great it was. I have seen a few singers who do Piaf and don't get the French way of delivering those songs. But you were very good, felt the song, a mixture of pain and human hope that Piaf had. She means a lot to me. WELL DONE Sam Chara can really sing, I mean really. Forget the mp3, myspace, artist profile... Come, hear and see this truly magnificent artist. It will blow your mind... it did ours! - author Paul Chi Healthy Concerts- This is a beautifull singer, full of magic,she makes her costumes,songs,music,and gives her heart to every song she sings,I was so impressed by her that i would promess you that Miss Sam Chara is a new born Star! Congratulations and thanks for the wonderful experience . ThreeWeeks revieuw TW rating 5/5 Bal Masque Edinburgh Fringe 2009 One won't see a more eclectic show this month than this cabaret rollercoaster. With elaborate costumes, excellent musicianship and some deadpan gags. It bills itself as Victorian but it's as if the Tardis has been employed to bring them closer to the now. Competing with the pounding drums from downstairs, this quartet create a powerful show with odes to freedom, love and loss and it would be churlish not to recommend this with utmost vim. "

"Rosie was great to work with from booking stage, on the night and post event. Our guests really enjoyed themselves as they were transported back to the 1920’s era and set the mood for the rest of the evening. Would highly recommend Decatur Street Jazz for future events!"

"Mark is a one man band who plays saxophone, cocktail piano, and sings! He paly for my annual summer party and everyone enjoyed his performance and his music. His music was smooth and well rehearsed in addition to being fun to listen to. It was exactly what I was looking for along with his great customer service and personality. I will definitely have him again. Thanks again for a great day!"

"Miss Dolores and her excellent 'combo' played a selected repertoire for our wedding reception in December. We were impressed with the band's flexibility and quality of performance and of course Miss Dolores's beautiful and seemingly effortless singing. So many of our guests commented on the band and congratulated us on choosing them. Miss Dolores looked stunning in a lovely sequinned dress. In planning for the event she was keen to give us what we wanted, offering us an extensive repertoire of American song book, swing, latin, lounge, jive, rock & roll and contemporary songs, based on our initial conversations, and said there were many more to choose from if we needed them! She also recorded the song we'd selected for our 'first dance' so we could practice to it beforehand, which was very helpful indeed. Thank you Miss Dolores, we loved the music and relaxed vibe you generated for us on our special day."

"The Swiss Chalet [where Joie de Vivre played a concert on Bastille Day] is a very rare “trophy property” designed and restored exclusively for Private Members only. The Chalet is one of the most famous secret landmarks used by some of the most discerning personalities in the World. From King Edward VII right through to Charlie Chaplin, Fred Astaire, Marlin Monroe to mention but a few. Today only the most exclusive guests are privy to be entertained at this amazing private residence.​For this precise reason we have carefully selected what I would call rising stars. I just wanted to say how thrilled we were with your performance at our private function. Everyone commented on how amazing [Muriele's} voice was. I have had so many people ask for your names! [Joie de Vivre were] just amazing and I can’t tell you how delighted I was! You blew our guests away with such unexpected talent. I’d highly recommend you to anyone especially anyone seeking music and performance to enhance any exquisite occasion!! You score very high in my preferred Jazz music performance !! All the best"

"Dan Olivo Band provided fantastic entertainment, music and PA hosting duties for our non-profit fundraising event in April of 2019. Were very communicative throughout the planning process, and very accommodating when we suddenly experienced a downpour and had to completely adjust our staging. Highly recommended, and we'll definitely use them again in the future!"

" We had an incredible wedding day made all the better by Fifi and Ollie and their fabulous mixture of French chanson, guingette style music and 20's jazz. Easy to book and very adaptable to our changing requests and timings on the day, they were a joy to work with and really helped to bring a great element of fun to our special day. They went out of their way to help make sure we had a great time, playing impromptu requests with ease and our loved them! Thanks again, highly recommended! "
