Jazz For Lovers was a fantastic addition to our corporate dinner in Montreal. They arrived on time, were very professional, and their setlist added a lovely ambiance to the space - what a talented duo!! I'd book them again in a heartbeat.

We had the jazz trio come perform at our office while the employees worked to set a nice ambience before we went to the jazz fest. They were extremely kind, professional and SO talented. Monica has a gorgeous voice, and they sang some beautiful harmonies all together. All in all, it was an amazing experience and I'm so happy we chose this jazz group. If you're looking for a jazz group, you won't be disappointed if you go with them. Thanks again everyone!
