"We booked Carlito for our wedding evening party and he absolutely made the night! From the moment he stepped onto the dance floor with his sax, the energy in the room completely lifted. His freestyle sets alongside the DJ were incredible — smooth, vibrant, and perfectly in sync with every track. Our guests couldn’t stop talking about how amazing the atmosphere was. Carlito blended Ibiza-style vibes with classic party tunes and had everyone dancing non-stop. Professional, friendly, and unbelievably talented — he knew exactly how to read the crowd and take the party to another level. If you want your wedding party to feel unforgettable, Carlito is the one to book. We honestly couldn’t recommend him enough!"

"Absolutely Outstanding Performance! I hired this incredible Cuban band for my 60th birthday celebration, and they absolutely made the night unforgettable! From start to finish, everything was perfect. Overall Satisfaction: 5/5 stars - They exceeded every expectation. The energy, talent, and passion they brought to the performance was remarkable. Professionalism: 5/5 stars - Every member of the band conducted themselves with the utmost professionalism while still being warm and approachable. Communication and Punctuality: 5/5 stars - They were prompt, reliable, and kept in excellent communication throughout the planning process and on the day of the event. The band was absolutely amazing and incredibly engaging. They had a natural gift for getting everyone involved - from getting guests up dancing to encouraging sing-alongs. The audience participation was fantastic, and they knew exactly how to read the room and keep the energy high throughout the entire evening. I can't recommend them highly enough! In fact, many of my guests were so impressed that they're already planning to book them for their own events. If you want a band that will truly make your celebration special and get everyone on their feet, look no further. Brilliant performers who made my milestone birthday one for the books!"

"This is going to be a stunningly good review. I booked De Fuego fairly last minute to play at our event. The booking was easy. Edina was extremely user friendly when it came to accommodating the particular arrangements we needed to make our evening work and communication before the event was quick and easy. It's a bit difficult to get to our club because it's a ship mooed along the foreshore at Leigh on Sea. This was no problem to them. Punctual. Then they started playing. Mesmeric ! The sort of talent that bring a tear to your eye. If you're thinking of hiring a guitar duo these are the people. In fact even if you're not thinking of hiring a guitar duo do it anyway. Get them in your living room if all else fails. You won't be disappointed."

"In addition, prior to the event, you gave me some amazing DJ music during the welcome cocktails and prior to the main music section after lunch. These little things make such a difference and show what a lovely and caring man you are, Rory, as well as being very professional."

Hi Claudia, Thank you for your feedback of Rory on 09/09/2021 I am delighted that you were happy with the music, and I will pass on your kind feedback to the musicians. Stephanie has been in touch this morning regarding the missing extension and I have made swift enquiry with the musicians. I will keep you updated on how we get on and, if necessary, order a replacement for you. I am sorry to hear that it has gone amiss as we really appreciated the venue providing it for us. Meanwhile, I would like to once again thank you for the booking last Thursday, and I send you our warmest wishes. Thanks, Rory

"Summer Samba exceeded all of our expectations! They entertained our 70 guests with enthusiasm, talent and even dressed the part! (1920's theme). They were a delight to co-ordinate with, and engaging with our guests throughout. They performed four 45 minute sets, with short breaks between. Swing, Jazz, Samba and Salsa throughout. I couldn't recommend them more! An absolute bargain if considering entertainment for a private bash or a work do! "

"Edina and Tony are not just extremely talented musicians, they are lovely people too. We're proud that De Fuego could be such a big part of our wedding day and will never forget it. We booked them to play the music for our ceremony, reception and evening cocktail hour and they entertained us and our guests astutely. Learning a new song for the bride's entrance music was not a problem and performed beautifully. We highly recommend and cannot wait to see them again, thank you so much!"

"Carlo flew out to Italy for our wedding and absolutely smashed it. From the moment he started playing, you could feel the energy lift — it just added that extra spark you don’t get with standard playlists. What we loved most was how natural everything felt. He wasn’t just stood in one place playing, he was properly part of the day — walking around, interacting with guests, and building the atmosphere without ever feeling over the top. The transition into the evening was seamless too. Once the DJ kicked in and Carlo joined in on sax, it completely transformed the party. It went from relaxed wedding to full-on celebration, and the dance floor stayed busy all night. Also worth saying he was super easy to deal with in the lead-up, especially with it being a destination wedding. Everything was smooth, no stress at all. If you’re getting married abroad and want something that really stands out, Carlo is 100% the right choice."
