Photo of TIBi Events Production - Music Planning TIBi Events Production - Music Planning "I can't thank TIBI Events enough for helping me plan the perfect proposal in Florence. From the first message, they were friendly, helpful, and always happy to answer my questions. What I really appreciated was their honesty and experience. Everything on the day was organised perfectly. The team worked together seamlessly, and it all felt relaxed and natural. Because of their hard work, I was able to focus on the moment and enjoy it with my now fiancée. The proposal was perfect, and the photos are beautiful. We will remember this day for the rest of our lives. If you are thinking about planning a proposal or special event in Florence, I highly recommend TIBI Events. Thank you again for making such an important day so special❤️" Based in Florence, Tuscany, Italy 23rd October 2026 Rohanvir Sangha Photo of pipe major Nick MacVicar pipe major Nick MacVicar "Nick, you're a scholar and a gentleman.

Besides the music, she is very nice, flexible, responsive and puts in a lot of effort into her performance. We highly recommend her for any kind of event."

After looking through a few options and reading lots of positive reviews, we chose Aleksei — and we absolutely did not regret it. He was an outstanding performer. The music was beautiful, elegant, and fit the mood of the evening perfectly. It added such a warm, cozy touch to the dinner, and our guests truly loved it. Aleksei was also very professional and easy to work with, which made the whole experience even better. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking to elevate their event with live music!"
