Reviews of 1940s Era Musicians & Bands available in Vienna

5/5 from 628 reviews
Photo of Baló Sámuel Trió Baló Sámuel Trió "I found Baló Sámuel Trió when I was searching for a nice jazz band for my wedding. I instantly contacted them after the first YouTube video I saw - my partner and I loved their music and vibe, and in addition they responded to our request very quickly. Despite the wedding getting postponed due to Covid they were flexible and made sure to accommodate our dates with their availability. A very kind and talented young group. I would definitely work with them again and I highly recommend them for your next event!" Based in Budapest, Hungary (133 miles from Vienna) Eriya - Private Wedding Photo of Hot Wings Hot Wings "We came across the band Hot Wings quite by accident and we are incredibly happy about it. We couldn't have chosen a better musical accompaniment to celebrate the 30th anniversary of Schrack Technik. At an event for hundreds of people there was dancing, guests were having fun and the dance floor was empty at most during the breaks. The chosen repertoire was excellent, with both younger and older ages coming into their own, and the band was one of the first things guests praised after the celebration. The communication before the event was also great, quick, everything was fine-tuned at the joint meeting in the space, and there was not a single problem on the day of the celebration. Thank you for the amazing music at our party, it was a great experience for everyone!" Based in Prague, Praha, Czech Republic (157 miles from Vienna) Ing. Denisa Hanušová - Schrack Technik Corporate Event, Prague 2021 Photo of Hot Club du Nax Hot Club du Nax "The Hot Club du Nax played at our Zug Jazz Night this summer and they where truly amazing, great people and superb musicians.
