"Stefano performed at our Serenata the night before our wedding, and I could not recommend him enough. From the very first contact, his warmth, kindness, and passion for music and entertainment shone through. On the night itself, Stefano didn’t feel like just an entertainer—he felt like a guest at our celebration. His presence was genuine and heartfelt, and he brought with him the most fun, traditional, and authentic Italian experience. Even with our diverse crowd of international guests, everyone was completely engaged and uplifted by his music and energy. He is incredibly talented and truly brought so much life, joy, and authenticity to the evening. Having Stefano there made the night unforgettable, and I wholeheartedly recommend him for any event."

"Look, I’m not fancy with music. I just know when something hits right. Golden OPA Band? They deliver. Good sound, good energy, no pretentious stuff. Just proper Greek music played by people who care. Respect."

"We booked A2 Barn Dance Band for our wedding and were very glad we did. We all had a great time muddling our way through lots of different dances, and the band did a great job keeping us all heading in the right direction. Having just a small venue meant we needed a band that was flexible and able to work around the limited space. A2 Barn Dance Band did a super job, set up in no time, and had us all up and dancing before we knew it! Thanks again for helping to make our day so special." "

"Excellent on every possible level. I would highly recommend and vouch for Manoli. He is an excellent musician and an fantastic person. We had the pleasure to hire him for two venues, our wedding and the christening of our son. I cannot describe in few words how challenging can be to organise not one but two destination events. We had to speak with numerous vendors with a time zone difference of 9 hours and only 10 days arriving before the wedding. Everything was lovely at the end and we created memories of a lifetime but as you can imagine there were a few bumps on the road. The reason I wanted to include the above facts was to highlight that none of the bumps came from the youngest vendor we hired, Manoli. He was unbelievably professional during the arrangements and for both events. We initially approached Manoli for one specific occasion. Where we come from, when the bride and groom are getting ready for the ceremony, they are accompanied by traditional music and that’s why we approached him. I was so delighted with his attitude that we requested from him to perform also during the celebrations after wedding and the christening two days later. His range is admirable. He played traditional Greek and Cypriot music during the preparation of myself and the bride, he performed a contemporary set of globally known artists at the beginning of our after the wedding celebration, he joined the band of the venue and then two days later performed with musicians that he arranged at our son’s christening. I cannot describe how grateful I have been that MAnolis was suggested to me and we ended having him for two of the most special days in our family’s life. In summary, he is an excellent musician with a wide range in music, has a great attitude, will provide solutions to any possible situation, always with a smile and he might even look into expanding his range for your event. I would hire him for every possible event and would recommend him without a second thought. Enjoy his music 🎼 and let Manoli make your special moments even more special as he did for ours. Thank you Manoli! "

They play together so well! You can tell they love music. I would highly recommend them to anyone! They made our ceremony come together so magically. "

"There’s something beautifully unpolished about Golden OPA Band. Not messy—human. Their sound has this lived‑in warmth, like stories passed down over wine and late nights. You don’t just hear them; you feel the room shift around them."

"We honestly can’t praise the band enough! Our wedding day was amazing with great music to dance to all day and we had so many compliments on the music. We had them booked all day (from ceremony to end of day) and it was worth every penny! We were so grateful they learnt the songs for us to walk down the aisle too and our first dance. These covers were beautiful and we honestly couldn’t fault them! Thank you so much for Helping make our wedding day so enjoyable! "
