"Amazing proposal with help of Ayden I proposed to my girlfriend, now fiancé while Ayden played for us at a park. He was great at coordinating the time and place to meet, and I was able to be discreet so my girlfriend was surprised. He did an amazing job playing the song, and had a great set up for recording the whole event on his phone so we could have a video. He was easy to talk to and very friendly. I highly recommend."

"Taylor was the highlight of our cocktail party last week. He is an excellent saxophone player who was able to play over the sound track of cover songs that he created for us. He was extremely flexible and he ended up playing longer than our original booking. We hope we are able to hire him the next time we have a similar party."

"Nathaniel’s performance was a masterclass in musical storytelling. His emotive phrasing and improvisational depth on both guitar and keyboard captivated the audience from the first note. Blending Afro-jazz with traditional and contemporary influences, he created a sonic journey that was both rooted and exploratory. His leadership of the ensemble was seamless—each musician was given space to shine, yet the collective sound remained cohesive and intentional. Beyond the music, Nathaniel’s presence radiated humility and warmth. His ability to connect with the audience, uplift fellow artists, and curate an immersive experience speaks to his rare combination of artistry and emotional intelligence. A true visionary, he continues to redefine what it means to be a jazz artist in South Africa and beyond."

"Date of Event: Sunday January 28, 2024 We booked Anthony & Jasmine as the entertainment for a birthday celebration for our Pastor & First Lady at Divine Faith Ministries and this duo did an awesome job! From the song choices to being engaging with the audience to the soulful tunes. Jasmine was the songstress while Anthony serenaded the audience with his saxophone. Everyone enjoyed the performance so much that our First Lady asks if they were available for a future event. They were already booked on the date needed, so I know I have to put my requests in early for this talented duo when I need soothing and exciting entertainment.

"🎷 A Wedding Performance to Remember! We had the absolute pleasure of having Mr. and Mrs.Anthony & Jasmine perform at our daughter’s wedding, and we couldn’t be more thrilled with the experience. From the moment the music began, it was clear we were in for something special. The saxophone and background vocals added a soulful, elegant touch to the ceremony and cocktail hour, creating the perfect atmosphere for every moment—from the romantic walk down the aisle to the joyful celebration afterward. Not only was the performance flawless, but they went above and beyond by coordinating attire to match our wedding colors. That thoughtful detail made everything feel even more cohesive and personalized. Guests were raving about the music all night, and many asked for Mr. Anthony’s contact information for future events. If you’re looking for a talented, professional, and genuinely thoughtful musician to elevate your special occasion, look no further. Anthony and Jasmine Smith are true gems!…  ~Reesa "

"We arranged a last-minute performance by Jazz Centrale for our wedding on the beach in Zandvoort. Communication with Kars went very smoothly, and everything was arranged incredibly quickly. On the day itself, they truly outdid themselves; what a fantastic addition this was to our most special day. Highly professional musicians, clearly used to performing at weddings and handling speeches, for example. Kars & team, thank you so much, and we wish you much success in the future!"

"CJ is the best of the best musicians you will ever hear. His music and voice is phenomenal and he can light up a room no matter when he is. My favorites are the oldies and christian music, but his jazz is top notch also. He is a man of God and you will not be disappointed in allowing CJ to perform for you. "

"Thank you for singing so brilliantly at our wedding. All the guests can't stop commenting on how fantastic your voice is and how you really made the evening. Thanks also for DJing, you immediately knew the right songs to play and didn't talk like a lot of DJ's do. We really did have a perfect day.”"

"Davies performances are distinctly old school, from her vintage microphone to her penchant for evening gowns. Even her voice is retro - evoking Ella and Edith Piaf while never paling in comparison."
