Review Centre: Latin / Salsa / Mariachi Bands

"Rory put on after show performances for Manchester Camerata at the Bridgewater Hall and at the Royal Northern College of Music respectively. I am pleased to say that both performances went successfully; Rory brought a tasteful cosmopolitan selection of Brazilian tunes and acoustic Latin, blending well-known arrangements with original compositions, which created a buzzing vibe and went down very well with our audiences, keeping them at the bar all evening! Great fun and would definitely book for future events."

"I saw the band when we arrived back to the church, music sounded great and the duo looked professional and happy to be there. Everyone enjoyed their performance and we would definitely book the band again if we were lucky enough to have a large event in future. Thanks so much for all your help and please do pass on my thanks and appreciation to the band. It was great to have them at our wedding!"

"I would like to say thanks to Rory for being with us on our wonderful day. With so many other things to worry about on the day it was reassuring to know that my guests were being looked after when they arrived by the sweet jazz music of Rory. I had several comments saying it was a nice surprise to be greeted by Rory when they arrived. Rory and the team was also very accommodating to myself and my wife as we were running a little late on the day and he stayed behind for a extra hour to make sure that we had a nice arrival when we stepped out of the car. It's my pleasure to give the short testimonial to Rory and the whole team who worked together to make our special day a little bit better. Thanks. Mr and Mrs Nwigwe."

"Thank you so much for performing for us. You created such a wonderful atmosphere for our drinks reception, it felt like we were in Italy rather than Kent with the sparkling wine and sunshine. We had the pleasure of Rory playing the saxophone at our wedding drinks reception at a Winery in Kent, and in the glorious sunshine we could’ve mistaken it for Italy. The vibe that Rory created was wonderful, the song choices were excellent and Rory was great at incorporating our requests. We have had great feedback from our guests and have been sent videos of people having a little dance. I wasn’t sure whether to stretch our wedding budget for a saxophonist but now I just wish we had booked Rory for longer!"

"Ria were exactly what I wanted for my 60th birthday Cuban themed party. A very professional band that played wonderful laid back latin music that was fun to dance to as the evening went on. So pleased that we booked them as it really made the event, and all my guests loved then."

"Just to say thanks again for the band's great performance at our party on Wednesday evening. The Latin music was fantastic and really helped create a good atmosphere at the party. I've had lots of people tell me how much they enjoyed the music. Please pass on my thanks to the rest of the band."

"Absolutely incredible! Carlito played during our wedding drinks reception and later in the evening alongside our DJ — and he was simply amazing. His live sax performance created such a beautiful atmosphere during the day, and then in the evening he completely transformed the dancefloor! Guests couldn’t stop talking about how talented he was and how much energy he brought to the party. From start to finish, Carlito was professional, friendly, and an absolute joy to work with. We couldn’t have asked for better entertainment — highly recommend him to anyone looking to add something special to their wedding!"

"We had had a lot of contact with Annika beforehand. She was very helpful indeed. We gave her a play list which she subsequently adapted afater liaising with us. The idea was to get people dancing. Annika brought a PA early so that we could play recorded music, set it up and showed us how to use it . Later on the band arrived and set up while we were eating without disturbing anyone and played 2 hours of music with a 30 min break. It was an excellent performance. They had everyone dancing. The whole Wedding Celebration went well. Everyone had a great time and the band were a major contributor to that. They were superb."

"I have been meaning to e-mail to let you know how great my do was and Rory made it extra special. Hearing him play was such a surprise for my guests they all loved his music... Rory was the icing on the cake for my 40th birthday celebrations. We had afternoon tea at Fanhams Hall Hotel with Rory playing the saxophone as my guests entered the venue and and throughout the afternoon while we ate our afternoon tea. I asked Rory for Christmas music and jazz to go with my birthday celebrations as it was three days before Christmas and he played amazingly. All my guests were so impressed with Rory's set of lungs as he played for hours. Rory made the atmosphere amazing and I would definitely recommend him. My friend has recently enquired about Rory for another do. Again thank you Rory for making my day extra special."

"Carlo was punctual and polite. He acknowledged our requests prior to the day of the event and carried them out on the day - some ideas of song choices etc. Carlo played as agreed and really started the party off! We’ve had great feedback of how good Carlo was at the event and how much they enjoyed. We had a great time and would definitely recommend!! Looking forward to having another event so we can look Carlo again! "
