Photo of Flannel and Lace Duo Flannel and Lace Duo "We hired Cathy and Tom for our wedding and they were the best! They were a joy to work with and have a very fun, upbeat energy. They really listened to what we envisioned for our wedding and made it happen. Multiple people complimented us on the entertainment and they ended the night with karaoke which was a huge hit. I highly recommend hiring Flannel and Lace for any event." Based in Middletown, Delaware Julia A. Photo of Exit 93 Exit 93 "Caught Exit 93 at the Wellwood tonite (9/28). Fantastic! Don't miss them if you get the chance. Excellent guitar work, vocals, et al." Based in Elkton, Maryland Don Camp - Fan Photo of The Remedy Band The Remedy Band "If you want to dance the night away, this band is for you! I've seen " The Remedy Band" on several occasions and they never fail to deliver an outstanding performance. With the dance floor packed, my friends and I had a fantastic time. Looking forward to another great evening with this band!" Based in Ventnor City, New Jersey Susan Hobbs Photo of John Madeley - Solo Acoustic John Madeley - Solo Acoustic "John Madeley was very professional and entertaining. We would book him again in the future." Based in Center City, Pennsylvania 17th July 2026 Brett Daniels - Private Event Photo of Almost CHER Almost CHER "Helene was absolutely stunning. She's beautiful, funny, engaging and talented. She put on a great show and it really was the highlight of our party. She looked like Cher, sounded like Cher and her costumes were incredible. She was wonderful to do business with as well. Very professional and accommodating. She worked everything out herself with the DJ so I didn't have to worry about a thing. I really appreciated that because as the hostess I had enough to do. If you're thinking about entertainment for your event, you won't be disappointed if you hire Helene. My entire party has called me to rave about her performance. Thanks so much Helene!!! Kim J. Titusville, NJ" Based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Kim J. Titusville, NJ - Private Party Photo of Ever After Duo Ever After Duo "Ever After Duo has been a regular part of Tavola's entertainment program since reopening after the initial COVID shut down. They have an incredible repertoire of music from the 60's through today. They are extremely talented musicians and very well received by our clientele - not to mention they are an absolute pleasure to work with."
