The highlight of the evening

We just booked them for our Oct 2025 wedding, and im so glad we did! John and the band were communicative, cheerful, flexible, and incredibly punctual. But MOST IMPORTANTLY, they were a blast! Fantastic music, they were well dressed for our black tie wedding, they kept everyone dancing during cocktail hour, and I couldn't get over the beautiful ambience they created. They were all smiles, genuinely enjoying themselves. I would book them a thousand times over.
"Just Us" performed at our wedding during the cocktail hour, and it was absolutely magical!
All of our communication and planning with them beforehand was smooth, professional, and friendly. Their performance was outstanding — it created such a beautiful atmosphere, and we couldn’t have asked for more.
We would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for live music for their event.
Thank you so much for your incredible performance and for being part of our special day! You brought tears of joy and smiles to so many of our guests.

Amazing performance by Just Us!

I hired Just Us to visit our Amazon warehouse in Ajax. They went above and beyond to meet our agenda, arriving at 5 in the morning to set up and starting their performance by 6 am. John is so easy to talk to, very professional, and excellent at communication. If you're thinking of booking Just Us, stop thinking and do it!

Just Wonderful!

A beautiful, talented trio who restored feelings of joy and happiness for our backyard birthday celebration. All of the guests commented just how lovely of an evening it was, many thanks to Just Us for creating the perfect ambiance a birthday girl could ask for. John is incredibly easy and wonderful to work with. We'd happily hire Just Us again!

They brought us back to the 1920's!!

We had a corporate Halloween party, in which the band had us all feeling like we were back in the 20's.
The music repertoire was perfect for our event! A very talented band!
John was fantastic from beginning to end, following up with us before and after the event. Very easy to book with and customize your event. Thank you for a fantastic evening! They are a must for your event. Thank you to you all!
