The Internationals

We absolutely loved Stan! He made my Aunt’s 60th birthday very memorable. She enjoyed each song and was moved to tears. Thank you for your prompt and professional service. We’ll definitely be calling on you guys again!

We had saxophonist for our memorial service...Very impressed with the saxophonist and overall experience from the beginning to end

Michael was phenomenal. There was also a snow storm on the planned day and he was flexible and able to perform the following day. I truly appreciate it. Thank you!

Klara was excellent and a great addition to our holiday party. She was ontime, very communicative, played what we were looking for and took two short breaks over a three hour period. One even included a dress change, which the crowd loved. I highly recommend her and booking through The Internationals.

Came on time and played wonderfully

The Cello and Violinist we received were wonderful. They were able to meet with our music director at the church beforehand to go over the pieces, and then absolutely nailed it during the ceremony. Would definitely keep The Internationals in mind for future needs. Thank you Nurlan and Tamila.

I had a last minute need to find an accordion player for our Oktoberfest party. I reached out to The Internationals the morning of the event and Henry was able to accommodate my request that same day. The booking process was extremely easy and Henry got back to me within minutes. Mike, the talented accordion player was fantastic and professional. He called to confirm details before arrival. He was on time and really made our party even more fun. I highly recommend booking with The Internationals!

Arkady the accordionist played our Oktoberfest-themed party in October 2019, and he was FANTASTIC! He performed very well, and as an added bonus he is a very genial man. I strongly recommend him for any occasion!

The musicians were amazing. The music that was played before and after the wedding was awesome. We received so many compliments.

Thank you Henry for being a good communicator, quick to solve problems.
I will keep the Internationals in mind for my next party.

We booked Tamila for our baby shower this past Sunday and wow she was incredible! Her ability to make everyone in the room listen is amazing. She was professional, on time, and played beautifully. Can’t wait for future events to use her again!

Great entertainment, thank you Arkady!

I am quite thankful I found this group! We hired one of their very talented piano players to play at our daughter’s wedding. She wanted some untraditional songs for the procession and recession and our piano player did a wonderful job. I will not hesitate to hire musicians from this group in the future. If you are in need of a talented and professional group, look no further!

I hired the Internationals today and they exceeded all expectations I had. I hired a saxophone player to play mine and my husbands wedding song for our 13 year wedding anniversary. She showed up prepared and dressed beautifully. We had a lovely time. Great communication and awesome price. I would recommend hiring The Internationals to everyone!!!!!

From the moment I booked, I received wonderful support. I was able to pick songs from a list that was sent to me, which included songs that my fiance and I both loved. I was also able to add other songs if I wanted, but honestly their list was perfect. Before the wedding day, I received a phone call check in, which I really appreciated. On the day of the wedding, Michael, the violinist, set-up really early and looked the part with a wonderful music note tie! He played beautifully. I received so many compliments from my guests about him. I have to say the best part was his wonderful attitude on that day, and from the beginning. They made everything a simple, easy, celebration!

All of my wedding guests commented on how beautiful Nichole’s music was, and I couldn’t agree more!!
Thank you so much for adding something extra-special to my wedding!!!

I hired The Internationalists as a solo violin for my wedding ceremony in May 2019. Most of my communication was with Henry. He was personable over e-mail and quick to respond. After a health issue came up with our original violinist with The Internationalists, Henry was quick to assign us a new violinist, Michael K. I only spoke to Michael K. once over the phone as it proved difficult to get a hold of him. When we did speak he was pleasant and told us we had nothing to worry about for our big day. I had sent a set list as well as timing and detailed instructions. Michael K. and our officiant were to work together on queuing. Unfortunately, either the ques were missed or weren't given appropriately, as the songs were played at inappropriate times. My father had to run up to our musician mid-ceremony to let him know that he was playing the wrong song for the bride. He quickly changed the music and all continued as scheduled. Most of the songs were played well, a few notes missed, but it was a busy day for everyone. In hindsight, a meeting should have been arranged with our musician to discuss details of our ceremony. All in all, The Internationalist were very professional and we appreciate Henry's diligence in making sure we had coverage for our event.

Arkady was wonderful!!! He made the party so fun.

We booked an accordion player for an Italian themed birthday party. Arkady, from the Internationals, was just perfect. Our goal was to create the feel of Italian family birthday parties like my wife experienced growing up. The quote and booking process was seamless. Arkady was a true professional and provided just the experience we were trying to achieve.

We had Arkady play mostly Polish accordion pieces after dinner for my wife's 70th birthday, and he literally had guests dancing in the aisles! A wonderful and personable performer!

Our guests were delighted with the music and selections played.

I asked Henry to help with arranging music for my proposal. He was very professional and helpful at each step of the process. The saxophonist, Stan, did a great job with the songs requested and played melodiously. My girlfriend was very impressed!
Thank a lot!

Great! My guests enjoyed my party because of the live entertainment.

Right from the very beginning of me accepting their quote, they were in contact with me. They made sure that all of my questions were answered. Henry was very professional and very personable! I hired an accordionist, and Arkady was terrific! He even contacted me the morning of the event and asked if everything was good with my event! Arkady came a little earlier than his playing time and I Loved That! He walked around and visited with some of my family and friends to "get a feel" of the party! Once he started playing, everyone was joining in and clapping and singing and dancing! My dad, the 90th birthday boy, was dancing and singing with Arkady! Arkady walked around while playing, and everybody, both young and old, really enjoyed his playing! I am so glad that I decided to do this! Thank you, GigSalad, and Thank You to The Internationals!! Cheers!

I would like to share the experience for the Face Painting Service that was done by Vera. She came about 10 min before time to set up her equipment and used a really good paint. The picture was almost perfect even the next day (my daughter refused to wash it before sleep and kept it next day)! All Face Paintings were great, very bright and well made. Vera worked very fast but highly professional. I would highly recommend Vera's service to all sorts of parties - kids or even adults as we had couple adults with cool "tattoos". 5 stars. Thank you, Vera and Henry!

Last minute, they came through for my daughters wedding!

I was doing an upscale Sweetest Day Party with the theme of a classy Wild West Saloon. Since in these joints the Saloon Girls were on a mission to keep the patrons longer in the main hall, they needed to be very entertaining for them, so they could spend more money or gold dust on booze, gambling, and 'soiled doves' upstairs. Henry Sergienko has found me a perfect Saloon Gal Inna Perschanskaya. She was perfect at 'flirting' with the male guests and doing an almost impossible balancing act where the husbands were kept interested while their wives considered it as an innocent playing act. She was not confused with a slightly provocative outfit which we discussed and purchased among the other variants. Inna was the center of the party conducting her act and and conversing with the guests on a various topics. Everyone was giving me the compliments for months on that hit-party, and mentioning the actress.

It really did not fit well into our program.

I hired Henry's team for a birthday party and everything went perfectly. Customer service on point, our singer arrived on time, was professional and had an incredible voice. Would highly recommend this service to anyone looking to hire. Thanks guys!

Gosha was amazing!! He interacted with the children very well with jokes, puppets, and magic. He enlighten the room with joy and laughter.

Had an accordionist and violinist play at my weddings cocktail hour. Just trusted them on song selection. Everyone loved it as background music and the kids were dancing like crazy. Also probably the easiest part to plan for the entire wedding. Slam dunk.

We had a great experience with Michael. We would use him again.

Thank you so much for a great music. I would recommend Michael for a beautiful parties - from weddings to anniversaries.

Thank you so much for your professional services. We were really pleased with our violinist, Michael R. He was very professional and communicated with us frequently prior to the wedding to make sure all our needs were met. Highly recommend him. He made sure to play all the songs we requested and even added two that were not on his list..

Michael was beyond professional. He arrived 15 minutes early, was a delight to us and the crowd and everyone enjoyed his choice in music! He read the attitude of the room and tailored that to the songs he played. 10/10 would recommend The Internationals, and Michael!

We had Arkady play the accordian at our backyard Oktoberfest party this past weekend and he was a hit! The ambiance he created was wonderful, he was personable and the guests loved him! He also took requests graciously and mingled so well I forgot he wasn't a guest of ours. The whole experience was great, easy and straightforward.

My husband and I struggled to hold back our tears when we heard our song being played as we walked down the aisle. We couldn't be happier with the professionalism and ability to adapt to our Persian ceremony. I would absolutely recommend The Internationals a million times over!

Michael did a phenomenal job. He was very professional and played all the songs I asked for. I definitely recommend his services.

We had Michael come out to perform for our anniversary dinner. I asked for Italian music to bring back memories from our honeymoon in Italy. He was extremely talented and professional. The music was outstanding! We really enjoyed the experience and would definitely recommend this company to anyone!

He was prompt, knew exactly what I wanted played so nice! Gave me a dope suggestion of a second song friendly help me figure out how to be discreet they way we planned it I recommend Michael! Thanks a lot made the engagement so special

My proposal could not have gone any better than it did. Arkady was very professional and prepared thoroughly for the day. Both, him and Henry, communicated with me throughout the process to make sure that plans were perfect and that there would be no hiccups when my fiancé arrived for the proposal. The music was beautiful and Arkady mixed in my requests with some of his classics and the collaboration worked FLAWLESSLY. I was very impressed with these guys and will seek them out for future services. GREAT JOB GUYS!

Had the trio at my wedding and it was beautiful. We gave them short notice but they were very helpful and accommodating. We had some Indian tunes as well. Highly recommend!

Arkady was amazing! Upbeat, classic italian tunes and everyone singing along. Great time with him. We will definitely be hiring him again!

The Musical Christmas melodies played were a perfect touch to Our dinner party. Professional, talented, and the repertoire of music selections beyond my expectations. He even played my grandfathers violin that had not been played in years and was used in silent films. Thank you for making the event very memorable !

The two piece band (accordionist and violinist) were a nice addition to our line up of entertainment. They performed during the cocktail hour and during dinner. The whole process was easy. I signed a contract with a small deposit a few months before. They called to confirm two weeks before. They arrived an hour before their start time to set-up. When they played, they were good. They music was enjoyable. It was the perfect addition to the dancing music that followed dinner. I would hire them again.

Henry worked with me late into the night to book an accordion player and singer for my son's burial. Arkady and Kyle had only two days notice but performed the song, "Losing You" beautifully. It was a wonderful tribute to my son and was a nice moment during an extremely difficult time. We were also much later to cemetery than I thought we would be, but they were both very understanding. Thank you.

I can only give superlatives:
-- Arkady (of The Internationals) has a huge repertoire in the genre requested.
-- His performance was lively, and he sounded really good.
-- He interacted with the attendees well, and he was full of smiles.
-- He was on-time and he made simple setup requests with no demands.

In my experience booking programs/performers for libraries, this may have been the easiest. The Internationals delivered on every agreement and performed wonderfully. We booked them to play outdoors and despite winds and overcast skies, they performed happily and with no incident. I am extremely satisfied and would highly recommend Mr. Sergienko and his musicians!

Hired an accordion player. He knew how to play accordion which was great but he didn't really follow the instructions we detailed via email and phone call. He also bugged me so much about the payment I had to go get the check from the person that was instructed to pay him after his set. All the details were discussed so that was really frustrating.

I could not have been any happier with my selection of The Internationals. Professional to the core, Henry made it so simple to book a performer for our Bastille Day celebration.
People in town are still talking about the fabulous music. I highly recommend working with The Internationals!

Excellent performance! We asked for some fun songs from the 1940's. My 91 year old mother was so surprised and she really enjoyed it.

Thank you for recommending Michael (accordionist) for my Dad's 65th Birthday Party. He arrived early, warmed up, and played some excellent music. My dad was up and dancing and soon the rest of the party guests joined in even little kids formed a circle. For one person that is quite a feat. Excellent experience with booking and communication as well. Definitely would recommend!

Last week , Mr.Michael ( violinist) performed during my son's first holy communion. I highly recommend him. He was great, on time, professional, and played beautifully. Thank you for making my event so special.

Nina made our party a success. Although it was an 80th birthday celebration, there were all ages, and she was able to play to all. It was like she was one of the family. We were very pleased and look forward to using her for future functions. I would recommend her for any party.

Very professional! Will definitely be booking again!

Henry was our contact person, and his communication was excellent. Anyone planning a wedding knows how important that it. The musicians (cello, violin, piano) were on-time (early, actually), played beautifully, looked professional, and were polite. They were reasonably priced as well. Highly recommended.

We hired a violinist and pianist through the Internationals and were very pleased with them. They arrived on time and were dressed professionally. We really enjoyed the music that they played and would definitely hire them again.

I had a violinist and a celloist play at my wedding and they were very professional. They had a big repotoire of songs and even played some that I requested.

Furthermore, there was no problem from the performers playing at out ceremony outside. They then traveled to the reception inside and did a great job and the throughout the 4 hours they pl ayed at our cocktail hour and dinner in which they sounded great and were very professional.

I would choose to have performers from the Internationals play for me anytime. The best thing was that we did not have to stress out about the music we told them what we wanted and they pulled it off flawlessly.

Igor was amazing! He showed up early, was professional and polite, and played beautifully. I also received plenty of communication throughout the planning process, making things very stress-free. We received so many compliments about how beautiful the wedding music was.

We worked with Henry and the Internationals for our annual Oktoberfest this year at the winery and were utterly charmed by them! Professional, kind and respectful. I look forward to having them back next year!

The violinist who came for my mom's wake did a great job----very moving indeed.

Arkady came out and played the accordion for our wedding during dinner/drinks and did a fantastic job. I got a lot of great feedback from our guest regarding how much they enjoyed the music. If you're looking for an accordion player, he's the guy to go with. Thanks again!

Musicians, Igor and Mikhail were an important part of my daughter's wedding ceremony. Almost two years later, reviewing video posted on this site, I would like to acknowledge high professionalism. Music played before and during ceremony deeply touched every person, including Groom and Bride. Special thank to Henry for the video. I definitely recommend "The Internationals" to my friends.

I invited "Internationals" to provide musical entertainment for my parents' 50th anniversary surprise celebration. Musicians were very professional, provided great music, were prompt and delivered their service at the highest level. They went far and beyond expectations. Would definitely recommend them for an event.

We were all very happy with the music selection and the player. I received a lot of compliments on his playing. Would recommend gig salad anytime.
