Great performance, and exceptional communication!

Sweet Something put on a great performance for the National Park Service: George Washington Memorial Parkway's 4th annual Juneteenth Celebration this year. Despite COVID-19 almost canceling the event, Ariana and her bandmates were very flexible and professional in facilitating a pre-recorded virtual event that premiered on the George Washington Memorial Parkway's Facebook page. Sweet Something performed very moving renditions of classic American poetry that really connected with our virtual audience. We highly recommend them for live and virtual events.

A Perfect Experience

Sweet Something has performed at three benefit events our non-profit organization has held, all to rave reviews! Their music is superb, and adds a classy touch to any event; and they are super easy to work with. Ariana is responsive throughout the booking process; they are timely, professional, and top notch musicians. We continue to get glowing reviews from guests about how much they enjoyed the timeless music provided by Sweet Something.

Wonderful Event

Ariana and the Sweet Something Jazz band were a joy to work with. I booked them for a virtual 2-hour event for my university. They performed for our virtual Jazz in the Garden event and I appreciated how easy going they were. It was a great event that our students really enjoyed sharing with their families. Ariana went above and beyond to communicate with me and make sure that the sound quality was perfect.

The most memorable wedding reception!

I hired Sweet Something to play my wedding this past Summer. They were amazing to work with - even learned a song that me and my sweetheart love ("Dream A Little Dream of Me")! All band members were on time and were friendly and professional. Their stage presence is flawless and captivating. I'm still getting compliments on how amazing they were. Hire Sweet Something for your wedding or public event - you won't regret it!
