Based in Athens, Attica (134 miles from Chios) angelakis digital - corporate event Photo of Arietta's Jazz duet Arietta's Jazz duet "Arietta did an outstanding performace for our celebration. 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!" Based in Athens, Attica (134 miles from Chios) Lindon Crow Jr - Corporate Event/Celebration Photo of The JITTERBUGS The JITTERBUGS "They play the original Retro-Rock n 'Roll, one of the first revolutionary musical forms." Based in Athens, Attica (134 miles from Chios) Christos Zois - 50s Retro music Photo of Moda Jazz-piano, vocal, double bass, drums Moda Jazz-piano, vocal, double bass, drums "Client Review: "One of the most magical parts of our wedding was the music — and we owe that entirely to this incredible jazz ensemble. We were looking for something very specific: not another dance set (we had a DJ for that), but a warm, classy jazz atmosphere for the first part of our celebration — during the ceremony and the cocktail hour. What we received exceeded every expectation." "From the very first contact, communication was smooth and professional. We requested a jazz trio and asked if it would be possible to add a saxophonist for that extra depth. Not only was it possible — the result was beyond beautiful. The group performed a selection of jazz standards we had personally chosen together in advance. They played them with such elegance, heart, and authenticity, it felt like we were in a Parisian jazz bar or a New York club — not on a seaside terrace in Bodrum!" "Our guests were blown away. Many of them said they had never expected to hear such genuine, high-quality jazz in Turkey, and certainly not at a wedding. The saxophone added a soulful touch that made the whole set feel intimate and luxurious at once." "We can't thank this wonderful group enough. Their performance added soul and style to our special day in a way we will never forget. It wasn't just background music — it was an experience." – Olivia & James (Wedding near Bodrum, Summer 2024)" Based in Antalya, Turkey (269 miles from Chios) Olivia & James (Wedding near Bodrum, Summer 2024) - Moda Jazz 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 (419 miles from Chios) Reviewed by: wrote on the napkin xx Katerine - Wedding
