Photo of Conosci Mia Cugina? Conosci Mia Cugina? "Swing. It's not explained, it's expressed." And that is the emblem of Know My Cousin... an entertaining and engaging show that was greatly appreciated by all the guests" Translated from Italian Based in Rome, Latium (313 miles from Lecce) Un vero viaggio nel tempo Photo of The Italian Wedding Band The Italian Wedding Band "Italian Wedding Band, Marino, where do we even start. We had Marino and the Italian Wedding Band play at our wedding, and they were nothing short of exceptional! From the very first note, they were a complete stand out – they had everyone on the dance floor, and it was impossible not to smile. They brought such a fun, energetic vibe, and their professionalism was clear from the moment they arrived. They truly are entertainers in every sense of the word – they read the room perfectly, created an incredible atmosphere, and even went above and beyond with a special performance for us, which we’ll remember forever. We were running a bit behind on the schedule, but they were so flexible and accommodating, working seamlessly around us to make sure the night flowed beautifully. Thank you so much to Marino and the Italian Wedding Band for making our night so magical – we couldn’t have asked for more!"

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!"
