New Age Flamenco "I've heard the music of New Age Flamenco around Seattle over the years and we got lucky enough to have them at our Ceremony and Reception. Our wedding wouldn't have been the same without Oleg and New Age Flamenco. I won't even go into the basics [of being on time and other common sense], because these guys are simply the best in town. From their professionalism to how reliable they are to the standard of entertainment they provide, I will forever recommend them to anyone holding any event. Oleg wend above and beyond with planning the whole evening with us for literally hours and we couldn't have been more thankful. On top of that, I had the honor to perform with them at our wedding, which was one of my favorite memories through the evening! Thank you for everything guys! S.D."

They arrived on time and delivered an unforgettable performance. I will definitely hire them again for future events and highly recommend them" Based in Los Angeles, California (826 miles from Portland) Hector
