Photo of Chad Wenzel Chad Wenzel "Chad Wenzel is a talented musician and an engaging performer. His conscientious delivery to every song brings the audience in. I’ve seen some people deeply moved at live shows!" Based in Toronto, Ontario (58 miles from Kitchener) 7th January 2026 Dale Jones Photo of Ryan Thomas Smelle Ryan Thomas Smelle "Ryan and the guys were amazing! Easy to work with leading up to the event (answered my many questions), professional and very talented too. Our attendees raved about them!" Based in St. Catharines, Ontario (66 miles from Kitchener) 5th February 2026 Nina - Corporate Cocktail Reception Photo of #VozMusic Band #VozMusic Band "Very good sound and energy from this band. We have had them entertain our patrons for several of our events held at Cafe Mariposa and we have always been very pleased with VozMusic" Based in Scarborough, Ontario (67 miles from Kitchener) 29th March 2026 Marcia Guerrero - CAFE MARIPOSA LOPINOT - TRINIDAD & TOBAGO Photo of Kevin & the Kitchen Sink Kevin & the Kitchen Sink "Kevin & the Kitchen Sink was a pleasure to work with from the moment we contacted them. They created a perfect playlist, including a specially requested song (my parent’s first dance song from 40 years ago!) and the band was incredible! The crowd was on the dance floor the whole night. We couldn’t have been happier with this band and would highly recommend them. Thank you Kevin & the Kitchen Sink for such a great party!" Based in Kingston, Ontario (208 miles from Kitchener) Megan - Anniversary Party Photo of Dunlap and Mabe Dunlap and Mabe "I watched their promo video and thought this band would be a great fit for our community gathering. My main job is in concert audio, and I work with bands every week. I've done high main stream bands and garage bands, Robert Mabe put on a performance that was breath taking amazing. His band's sound was like nothing anyone has heard, our audience was silent with anticipation of the band's next musical note. Before the show was over city officials asked me for their contact info to bring them in for next year's fair concert. This band is worth 10 times what they charge. They are the real deal and will blow away your audience. And yes we're bringing them back." Based in Winchester, Virginia, United States (317 miles from Kitchener) Joshua B. - Concert Photo of Bagpiper: Robert Mitchell Bagpiper: Robert Mitchell "Robert Mitchell was very sensitive to our wish for a softer sound in the church and used the border pipes. He was extremely professional, worked well with the organist and pianist, and provided a lovely Irish touch to my daughter's wedding. Afterwards, he played the bagpipes outside while everyone gathered to greet the new couple with bubbles as they hopped into their limo. In addition, he provided a transition to the reception by playing the bagpipes outside the entrance. We are thankful to Robert and heard many positive comments about him from our guests." Based in Columbia, Maryland, United States (346 miles from Kitchener) John G.
