Photo of Mariachi La Bamba Mariachi La Bamba "Gerson and his mariachi band were incredible. They were professional and delivered an unforgettable performance. They made my proposal to my now fiancé, a day we will never forget." Based in Milan, Lombardy 24th June 2026 David Mendiola - Proposal Photo of Anton Violinist & Ensemble Anton Violinist & Ensemble "We had such a wonderful experience having you perform at our wedding. Your energy, passion, and musical talent made the afternoon truly special. We particularly loved your rendition of “Shallow” by Lady Gaga, which was one of our requested songs, and the variety of music was perfect for the celebration. We received so many compliments from our guests throughout the day. Thank you for being such a special part of our wedding! 🤗" Based in Lugano, Canton Ticino, Switzerland (39 miles from Milan) 3rd September 2026 Enea - Wedding Photo of Duo Vaires Duo Vaires "Duo Vaires was honored to provide live music for a special Kiwanis Club event. We designed an elegant program blending timeless classical pieces with refined jazz standards, creating a sophisticated yet welcoming atmosphere for the members and guests. It was a pleasure to collaborate with such a distinguished organization" Based in Lugano, Canton Ticino, Switzerland (39 miles from Milan) 28th August 2026 Kiwanis Club - Private Gala Photo of Mariachi México Mariachi México "We chose mariachi México for the aperitif and DJ for the reception. Exciting and engaging!! Thank you for making our wedding more magical and fun." Translated from Italian Based in Padua, Veneto (131 miles from Milan) 15th June 2026 Gruppo veramente professionale Photo of The DooLallys The DooLallys "I first witnessed The DooLallys years ago at a kind of impromptu kitchen session. I think deeply soulful is the best way to describe their mix of pipes, strings, and song - seamless switches between O'Carolanesque 18th Century rave style to sweet balladeering, along with true and loving versions of traditional Irish music tunes, all layered with a knowing hedge school poetic sensibility." Based in Bern, Canton of Bern, Switzerland (132 miles from Milan) Tim Bradford Photo of Strello - Gipsy/Folk Trio Strello - Gipsy/Folk Trio "The trio provided the perfect musical accompaniment for our Christmas party and created a great atmosphere. The selection of pieces was varied and perfectly suited to the occasion. We were particularly impressed by the musicians’ professionalism and their harmonious ensemble playing. The music was never intrusive, but perfectly complemented the atmosphere whilst keeping everyone in good spirits. We also really appreciated the trio’s flexibility in accommodating our requests. Conclusion: A fantastic contribution to a successful celebration – we can wholeheartedly recommend the trio!" Translated from German Based in Zürich, Canton of Zurich, Switzerland (135 miles from Milan) 1st May 2026 F. Sieber - Company Christmas dinner
