Photo of Giudy & Jean adventures Giudy & Jean adventures "I couldn’t be happier with Giuditta’s performance at our wedding! She was absolutely wonderful to work with from start to finish. Giuditta was professional, reliable, and attentive to every detail. She took the time to carefully prepare the playlist and was even happy to accommodate some of my special song requests, which made the ceremony feel even more personal and meaningful. Communication was excellent throughout the entire process - she was always responsive, helpful, and genuinely committed to making sure everything went smoothly. I especially appreciated how seriously and responsibly she approached her work. It was clear that she truly cared about delivering a beautiful performance. Thank you so much, Giuditta, for being part of our special day! I would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a talented, dedicated, and professional cellist! ❤️" Based in Lucca, Tuscany 12th October 2026 Kate - Wedding Photo of Jet Lag Band Jet Lag Band "We couldn’t have asked for a better band for our wedding! On Friday, Antonio joined us as a saxophone player and immediately created an amazing atmosphere. On Saturday, the band performed in different combinations throughout the day — for our ceremony, aperitivo, and the party — and they were absolutely fantastic at every stage. The music was incredible, the atmosphere was amazing, and they really knew how to get everyone in the mood to celebrate. We especially appreciated how flexible, professional, and helpful they were throughout the entire wedding. They adapted perfectly to the different moments of the day and made everything feel effortless. We received so many compliments from our guests about the music. We would highly recommend this band to anyone looking for talented musicians who bring great energy and make your wedding truly special!"
