October 11, 2017Great event!
I negotiated with band leader Eve, and had three other musicians at the wedding itself (viola, clarinet, and accordion).
Eve was willing to work with some of our unorthodox requests and was a fair negotiator.
The musicians delivered on all her promises and more! They made our cocktail hour and ceremony so beautiful and happy, really reading and understanding our crowd.

August 3, 2017Pitch perfect
They trio I ended up hiring was perfect for my event. They were professional and timely and the music was lovely and lively. They listened to exactly what was asked and delivered (they knew their cue and their celebratory music helped us transition from one event moment to another). My guests felt comfortable dancing and listening equally. Solid experience from start to finish. Good musicians!

November 13, 2015Highly recommended
Very easy and professional to deal with. Sensible prices. Played for 1hr for a birthday party.
Arrived on time. Played excellent klezmer and some tango and jewish swing. Much better live than their recordings that are very nice. Highly recommended without reservation.
