Trevor Salloum Jazz Trio "Thank you so much, Trevor! The band sounded wonderful, and provided the perfect atmosphere for the crowd. Mom loved it! We are already talking about a sequel next year… You guys were great - thanks again!!" Based in Kelowna, British Columbia (28 miles from Penticton) F.D. Coldstream, BC. - Private Party

Beauty Shop Dolls "Thank you Beauty Shop Dolls for making our Christmas party magical. We had a blast! We loved everything about your show, it was classy and perfectly planned on theme. The dress changes were a beautiful touch, to an already fabulous performance (I especially loved the blue feathers 😊). Everyone in the office is still buzzing from the dance class too. Highly, highly recommended!" Based in Vancouver, British Columbia (160 miles from Penticton) T Dic - Company 1920s Christmas Party

Good Co "We hired Good Co for our 1920's themed holiday party. They were extremely flexible and accommodating, especially when we asked if they would follow our leadership around the office as they gathered people for the party. Awesome talent, great at judging sound vs space. Our office is pretty echo-y and loud, but they found the right balance immediately. Definitely keeping on the books for next time!" Based in Seattle, Washington, United States (180 miles from Penticton) Ashley V - Corporate Party

Jazz Hutch & Friends "A nice voice and a very understated and carefree delivery. Not enough cats can just Fred Astaire their way through a song." Based in Calgary, Alberta (266 miles from Penticton) 12th October 2026 Kurt Elling - Acclaimed International Jazz Singer

Vintage Jazz & 70s Solo Singer "She was great, my residents absolutely loved her and we will be having her back!" Based in Denver, Colorado, United States (981 miles from Penticton) Emily D. - Nursing Home
