"The band members, very respectful and responsible, arrived on time and were very professional at all times. But honestly, we felt very disappointed that when contacting this band, we were specific about confirming if they played certain songs, certain artists, including rock and roll songs, which was the main concept of the party including decoration, etc. A party obviously centered on the birthday person for their 80th birthday, and the band played a selection of music that wasn’t what we requested. So, sorry for the honesty, but in that sense, we were very very disappointed. The idea was to hear the birthday person’s favorite songs, and that didn’t happen. That was the main reason we decided to invest in a band instead of going to a nightclub to listen to random music."

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, and we appreciate your kind words about our professionalism and punctuality.  However, we'd like to respectfully address the concerns raised, as we believe there may have been a misunderstanding about what was agreed upon. Before the booking was confirmed, we provided our complete repertoire of 170 songs so you could review exactly what we perform. When you sent through your song requests, we responded clearly in writing that we could perform around 90% of the songs listed, specifically noting which artists and songs we don't cover, including Roy Orbison, Tony Bennett, and "Piña Colada." The contract was signed after this exchange, confirming mutual understanding of the agreed-upon repertoire. On the day, we delivered exactly what was agreed: approximately 90% of your requested songs, plus additional requests from guests. Guests were dancing and singing along to our performance. Furthermore, the birthday guest himself told us during the event that he was thoroughly enjoying the music, which we also took as a positive sign that we were meeting expectations. We always strive to be flexible and responsive on the day. When asked mid-performance to stop for unplanned moments like the raffle and cake cutting, we simply requested to finish the current song to avoid an abrupt interruption, a standard practice that maintains the flow and professionalism of live music. We regret that the experience didn't meet your expectations despite our clear pre-event communication. If there are specific songs or aspects you'd like to discuss further, we'd welcome the opportunity to clarify offline. We wish your guest all the best for his 80th year. Kind regards, Greg

"“We had the absolute best experience with Soul Boulevard as our wedding band! From the very first call, Matt was friendly, professional, and genuinely excited to be part of our big day. They were incredibly flexible with our requested song list and even had some suggestions based on their experience! One of the highlights for us was them learning and performing our first dance song—it meant so much and was done beautifully. On the day itself, their energy was amazing and kept everyone on the dance floor all night. So many of our guests have since told us how brilliant the band was! Thank you, Soul Boulevard, for helping to make our wedding so unforgettable. We couldn’t have asked for anything more!”"

"We were delighted with Raphael and the Blue Moon Jazz Band who provided a wonderful soundtrack for our wedding reception at the Hotel Kolbe in Rome less than two weeks ago. The band played during the aperitivo and then again after dinner when they were joined by their fantastic singer. We loved their sound and wished they could have played longer. As one of my dearest friends said, whose brother is a jazz musician, when the band was playing it was more like being at a concert than “only” listening to background music. Raphael was always very prompt in all his replies and as kind and considerate as possible, while the musicians as a whole, including the singer, impressed us all with the quality of their sound. All our guests remarked on how wonderful the band was, including our younger guests who greatly enjoyed dancing away at jazz pieces they would not normally listen to, as well as the jazz buffs amongst us of which there were many. We would not hesitate to contact the band again for future events and therefore would also wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone else! Thank you for a beautiful jazzy evening… Enrica and Rombout"

"The Jersey Surecats drove about 70 miles in a snow storm for my daughter's wedding. They provided light cocktail music. Then played a wide variety of toe tapping dance cover songs. They were the life of the party. In fact, several guests inquired about them so that they can hire them. They even learned several songs for the wedding. They were cooperative and went the extra mile for us."

"Members and spectators are unanimous : your performance at the Arènes de Riscle on 07.23.2021 was quite simply extraordinary with a very broad musical register. Interpretation of all the songs played at the top, the singer Tamara worthy of a Diva. A big and beautiful concert with attentive and very sympathetic musicians. If you want to book them, hurry up and don't hesitate, they're good."

"posted 09/08/2023 Le'Mixx played at our wedding on 08/19/23. Le'Mixx is an incredible band - high energy, insanely talented and professional. I worked with Myke to plan key details for the weekend (e.g. entrance song, processional, first dances etc). He had a knack for attention to detail & he made the planning process so easy. On the day of the wedding, everything went smoothly & the band was the highlight of the night. I spent the whole night out on the dance floor with my friends & family and after the event, everyone was asking for the bands' information. Many of our guests are California based & they were even wondering if they could fly the band out to CA for events - Le'Mixx is THAT GOOD! If you're looking for an incredible band for your wedding, they should be your go-to. They play fun songs that all generations can connect with & there was not one moment in the night that the dance floor wasn't full. (The Knot)"

"Alex of Shaal Sax was an absolute delight to work with and have play at our wedding. We’d highly recommend! My husband and I booked Alex for our wedding just about 10 days before the big day and Alex was great at communicating, offering creative ideas, and adapting without much notice. He was quick to respond, and extremely kind both via the internet and in-person. He showed up hours in advance to make sure technology worked smoothly alongside our DJ, and he bravely played in front of our crowd of ~165 French and American guests moving between dinner tables during dessert and then around the dance floor alongside our DJ for several songs. Having him in the center of the dancing was a huge crowd pleaser. He brought the energy up from about 7/10 to 11/10! ;) everyone loved it so much and he will truly remain such a highlight of our wedding day! Awesome experience hiring Shaal Sax!"

A huge thank you to you, Marinna, for trusting me and asking me to be the surprise for the guests! It’s truly a great pleasure for me to be part of your event, and it always makes me so happy to bring joy, dancing—in short, happiness. Long live music, and take care of yourselves. All my best wishes for your happiness! Shaal

"Reviewed on: 10/14/2024 Le'Mixx were absolutely amazing! They are exceptionally talented and had everyone dancing throughout the night. Multiple people at the party asked me where I found them, because they are just that good. Cannot recommend them enough! (The Bash)"

"Lisa & The Elusions were AMAZING at our wedding reception! Lisa was a pleasure to work with leading up to the reception. They learned 3 songs to play for us. They brought great energy and kept the crowd entertained all night. Our guests have been raving about them. We highly recommend Lisa & the Elusions! "
