Based in Viterbo, Latium (50 miles from Perugia) 24th September 2026 Thomas - Private Concert Photo of Just FM Dixie Band Just FM Dixie Band "We had the absolute pleasure of having FM Dixie perform at our daughter’s wedding in Italy. They were outstanding! Their music and entertainment was such a highlight for the day for the entire group. This is how they were used throughout the day for our event: • Greeting the shuttle vans with wedding guests as they all arrived at the Castello • Escorting the group up from the drop off location across the path and across the drawbridge to the Castello • Entertaining guests during a brief pause for prosecco until it was time to escort guests to the ceremony location (Castello terrace) • Following the ceremony, escorting guests from the terrace to the location for the aperitifs/welcome buffet (opposite end of the Castello by the pool) • Music throughout the aperitifs/welcome buffet for a couple of hours. • Escorting guests when it was time from the location by the pool up to the Castello courtyard for dinner FM Dixie were fantastic in the quality of their music and in how well they entertain, adapt and engage with the wedding guests! They exceeded our expectations in all respects. Thank you to the wonderful FM Dixie quintet that added so much magic to our event!" Based in Siena, Tuscany (55 miles from Perugia) 5th November 2025 Michael Miller - Wedding Photo of Freshwater Jazz Players Freshwater Jazz Players "Great repertoire made of classic jazz standards.
