Reviews of 1940s Era Musicians & Bands available in Bansko

5/5 from 600 reviews
Photo of Nony Borsan Nony Borsan "I was really blown away by this performance! Every cover was so real and full of emotion. You could feel the passion in every note and in every phrase, making classics sound brand new. Piano accompaniment was faultless, adding depth and that je ne sais quoi to make this experience truly elevate. So rarely do you find that someone stays true to the original song and puts such a beautiful spin on it. Bravo" Based in Bucharest, București, Romania (223 miles from Bansko) Reviewed by: wrote on the napkin xx Katerine - Wedding Photo of Dimitris Bako Trio Dimitris Bako Trio "Perfect atmosphere and a great vibe from this wonderful band led by Dimitris.

Not only did she provide the dinner entertainment that we had asked for she also generously agreed to learning a few songs that we wanted specifically included during our event. These songs were an important part of a fun and entertaining opening and Arietta nailed it. I also must say that it was a pleasure working with her prior to our show. Very responses and enthusiastic. Over the years I've hired numersous entertainers/bands and while many perform well, few brought the joy and and commitment to entertaining that Arietta brought. Thanks Arietta!"

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 (448 miles from Bansko) Eriya - Private Wedding
