5/5 from 541 reviews
Photo of wedding violinist in france wedding violinist in france "Gérard was amazing, he went above and beyond, he learned a new song in a totally different style and usually played on a fiddle specifically for our wedding. I strongly recommend him to anyone who is looking for a professional, kind, and responsive musician for their event." Based in Lyon, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes 30th June 2026 Seppe K - Wedding Photo of Hitchen Jazz Group Hitchen Jazz Group "We saw the biggest ensemble that Hitchen Jazz provides - The Hitchen Big Band, at Montpellier Jazz Club in 2015. They played an excellent concert. David presented the concert all evening in French, with a charming English Accent. We have followed the group ever since, and we also love the Hitchen Jazz Trio. Bravissimo!"

The musicians blended seamlessly into our event while delivering an outstanding performance that impressed every single guest. Highly recommended for anyone looking to create a luxurious atmosphere." Based in Monaco-Ville, Monaco (188 miles from Lyon) 3rd July 2026 Sebastian Dubois - Private Villa Party Photo of Ferdi Argenti Ferdi Argenti "What Ferdie can do that nobody else does (to the extent that he does it) is sing his heart out, and then play his heart out-- his vocal and instrumental expressions are equally strong. It's not like he's trying to get a gig at the local Holiday Inn lounge, no!--he belongs in the concert hall!
