Mario Manzini Entertainment
"I booked Mario Manzini to present his Tribute To Elvis music show here at Richardson Auditorium. We have over 1,300 seats and his show packed in a full crowd at $ 25 a seat on Jan 7, 2025 for Elvis's birthday. Mario is rated the top 3rd Elvis Tribute Artist in the Mid West and his show was fantastic. He did 2 sets of an hour each singing all of the hit songs of Elvis. This is the 3rd time in the past few years that we have had him perform here and it won't be the last.
I highly recommend Mario Manzini for any event where you are wanting a first class Elvis concert.

The Ron Smolen Big Band / Orchestra
"Wedding October 14 2023 - University Club - Chicago, IL
Hi Ron,
I've been meaning to shoot you an email.
Thank you guys so much, we had such a wonderful time and were so happy and impressed with the music. With everything going on, there were 2 things about the wedding that made it stand out: the food and the band. Our guests loved the music and it was everything that we could have ever wanted and more.
I really meant what I said about how cool it is that you all play this music and hopefully more people my age appreciate the work that you all do. Please let me know if there is anything I can do for you. We visit Chicago pretty often so we'll keep tabs on when you play and will come say hello sometime soon.
Hope you have a happy Thanksgiving!
-Ryan & Angela"
