5/5 from 465 reviews
Photo of Elite Duo – Vocals & Saxophone Elite Duo – Vocals & Saxophone "I had the pleasure of seeing this talented duo perform at a private party, and I have to say, they were absolutely fantastic! The combination of vocals and saxophone was just beautiful — smooth, elegant, and so easy to listen to. The singer had such a lovely voice, and her performance was incredibly polished, expressive, and effortless. The saxophonist sounded amazing as well, with such a warm, rich tone that complemented her voice perfectly. You could really tell how well they worked together. What I especially appreciated was their choice of songs — a really tasteful mix of music that created such a lovely atmosphere without ever being overpowering. Everything felt natural, classy, and just right for the occasion. It was one of those performances where you could simply relax, enjoy the music, and appreciate the talent behind it. Such a great experience overall, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend these two to anyone looking for beautiful live music for a wedding, private party, or any special celebration. Really lovely musicians and a wonderful duo!" Based in Calgary, Alberta 4th November 2026 Steve - Private event Photo of Mood Jazz Mood Jazz "This trio impresses with the diversity of their pieces and the musical expertise of their repertoire. It's a real pleasure to listen to Mood Jazz play music, whether in a restaurant, on an outdoor stage, or in a concert hall. They are incredibly talented chameleons!"

He was AMAZING! Super lively and sounded so awesome!!! All our guests made comments about how much they loved him too! Communication with him was also super easy and he was always prompt to answer any questions we had! 10/10 recommend him!"

We had the pleasure of hiring Daniel and Erin for our corporate Christmas party, and they were absolutely fantastic! Everyone truly enjoyed their performance—they were professional, punctual, and incredibly talented. Their repertoire of bossa nova and Christmas music created the perfect festive atmosphere. We will definitely hire them again in the future!"

Frank Stronach" Based in Toronto, Ontario 12th December 2025 Frank Stronach - Gallery event at Frank's organic kitchen Photo of The Kensie Jazz and Dance Band The Kensie Jazz and Dance Band "Perfect Jazz Band! Secured The Kensie Jazz Band for our 30th Anniversary corporate event. From start to finish they were perfect. Perfect background music while guests are engaging in the social circuit. Perfect background music while being seated and served for dinner. The band can adjust their sound level to your preference. They play a range of music. A live band is a classy touch and adds ambience to any event rather than a standard DJ. It is a completely different vibe. Nice group of people! Good pricing as well. Thank you!"
