Victoria July
"Viktoria was excellent in communication leading up to the event and when she arrived at the venue very professional, friendly and self sufficient in setting up. She performed 2 sets - one in hot sunshine and another in a wine cellar - both were excellent in terms of choice of songs (according to my general wishes), quality of her singing (wonderful voice), quality of her PA equipment and her composure given hot outside conditions and a lively diverse party of people. I would thoroughly recommend booking Viktoria for your event. Bravo!"
Jazz Bands Luxembourg —Jazz Central Agency
"The music created exactly the atmosphere we were looking for—elegant, subtle, and never overpowering. From the booking process to the performance itself, everything was handled professionally and exceeded our expectations."
Rhine Valley Ramblers
"We were so happy that Didi and his band came and played their show. They were easy to work with, had awesome groove and made a good party.
We will have them back here soon."
Belle Histoire
"Great wedding performance! It was great to have Belle Histoire performing at our wedding in Lake Como (at Relais Villa Vittoria) in July 2023. We had a great time, our guests had a blast. In addition to her absolutely incredible voice, the lead singer helped us make a couple of guest announcements as well. It was really easy to make arrangements with the band - the performance was exactly what we were hoping for and more. Definitely recommend!"
Ellen & Paddy sing Ella & Louis
"A trio evoking the famous albums of 1956 et 1957: Ella & Louis, Ella & Louis Again), the trio is completed by César (in the role of Oscar Peterson).
In a cellar bar in Paris 6th called the Tennessee, on a tiny stage but surrounded by a massive public already conquered by the group and the atmosphere they create - It feels like we are at a friends reunion.
The first set is consecrated to the recreation of the mythical duo: («Can’t We Be Friends?», «Isn’t a Lovely Day?», «They Can’t Take That Away From Me»)
But through the filter of Paddy et Ellen. We are in homage and never in imitation (except for the odd humoristic wink to the original).
They especially bring to life a music the gives great joy and pleasure
The trio is perfect in total complicity Paddy as always full of colour and vigour. Ellen – better known for her soul repertoire – reveals herself to be an excellent jazz singer absolutely in Ella’s register.
César, very serious behind them plays beautiful harmonies.
A wonderfully entertaining evening."
The Velvet Keys
"I wholeheartedly recommend Ciarri for any corporate event, private function or venue seeking sophistication and class, with some sultriness. I have worked with Ciarri on many events and her artistry consistently elevated each occasion, leaving lasting impressions on our guests. Her performances—whether on the iconic rooftop of Hotel Raphaël or the exclusive Cité de l'architecture et du patrimoine with panoramic Eiffel Tower views—were warm, unforgettable and stylish at every setting. Ciarri's professionalism, reliability and meticulous attention to detail made her a valued partner and why I worked with her time and time again. Any organization would be fortunate to collaborate with such a dedicated, versatile, and inspiring performer."
