Photo of Skapa Skapa "SKAPA played at our wedding and did an incredible job. From our first interaction, they were warm, professional, and genuinely wonderful to work with. They played all of the music we requested, including several custom songs, and everything felt thoughtful and personal. They helped make our wedding day feel special and unforgettable. We are so grateful and would recommend SKAPA without hesitation." 15th July 2026 Jared and Sumedha - Wedding Photo of Harvis music Harvis music "alto y soprano sax flute Smooth jazz lounge vibes latin jazz internacional music Incluido audio" 20th August 2026 FOUNTAINS COUTRI CLUB - Eventos de cualquier tipo Photo of Orestis Violinist Orestis Violinist "I couldn’t recommend Orestis highly enough! After another musician unexpectedly cancelled just a few days before my planned marriage proposal, I found Orestis at very short notice – and looking back, I honestly couldn’t have wished for anyone better to accompany such an important moment in our lives. I had planned to propose to my girlfriend on Falassarna Beach at sunset, and everything needed to remain a complete surprise. From our very first conversation, communication with Orestis was excellent. Despite the short notice, he took the time to discuss every detail with me, helped coordinate the timing, and made sure everything would happen exactly as I had imagined. I was able to choose the songs in advance and we carefully planned when he should start playing so that my girlfriend wouldn’t suspect anything. He even has his own portable sound system that does not require a power connection, which made it possible to have beautiful live music directly on the beach. And then came the most important part: Orestis played the violin absolutely beautifully. Hearing Can’t Help Falling in Love while asking the woman I love to marry me, with the sun setting over Falassarna, was a moment neither my fiancée nor I will ever forget. ❤️ Everything was perfect – the music, the timing, the atmosphere and the coordination. My fiancée absolutely loved it, and our entire family was equally impressed. Apart from being an excellent musician, Orestis is also an incredibly kind, warm and genuine person. It was truly a pleasure having him there, and I am very grateful that he became part of such a special moment in our lives. Thank you so much, Orestis, for helping make our engagement unforgettable. We couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful experience and would recommend you without hesitation to anyone looking for an exceptional musician for a proposal, wedding or any other special occasion. Petro & Michelle ❤️🎻" 7th September 2026 Petro - Marriage Proposal Photo of Takae Piano Takae Piano "Takae played the piano for a family gathering near Rouen, and both adults and children were completely enchanted by her performance. Her Chopin was delicate, warm, and deeply moving. She was wonderful with the family, very professional, and punctual. We would love to have her play for us again!" 12th September 2026 Camille Laurent⁠ - Family Home Concert⁠ Photo of Elegant Piano Elegant Piano "Hi Marcel, thank you again for playing at our wedding. You did a wonderful job and everyone enjoyed the music and the occasion." 14th September 2026 Cooper Crippen - Wedding Photo of Nícolàs “El Rom” Nícolàs “El Rom” "Absolutely fantastic. Right up there with performances we saw in Spain." 4th October 2026 Claudia D - Sun City Anthem at Merrill Ranch
