"Edina really helped to make the lunch party we were holding for my husband's 70th birthday a tremendous success. We have had so much lovely feedback about her performance from the thank you cards and letters we have received. She was asked to play an encore which she happily did. Her music just made us want to dance! Many many thanks Edina and we would happily recommend her to anyone who wants Spanish guitar."

"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."

"Now I’ve got back to the mainland and can reflect on the wedding, I just wanted to thank you for putting on such a great accompaniment to our celebration. I do hope it was worthwhile for you all to come over to Sark. All the best! A real pleasure."

"Rory opened our wedding party in London with his incredible saxophone skills, giving a skilful and energetic performance to start the night with style. His jazzy tones playing over a mix of modern day classics from Smooth Operator to Despacito put smiles on the faces of every guest. Rory played a solo set for an hour and a half but also jumped on his feet and grabbed his sax to play along to some of the DJ's set throughout the night giving the crowd of dancers a musical treat every time he did. Many guests commented on how friendly and talented he was and I would highly recommend him for anyone considering Rory for their future celebrations."

"You were absolutely brilliant. Thank you for you for ensuring an absolutely magical and atmospheric evening. The age range was 21 to 60 and everyone loved your music. You understood exactly the mood of the party and the music was just right. You are excellent musicians and singers. It meant so much to me to have those Latin American rhythms as a backdrop to our party. I couldn't recommend you more highly. You were also extremely nice, professional and efficient in all your dealings. Gracias mil a Juan Carlos, Guillermo, Nickolai y Rafa. "

"Brilliant show! Great Entertainers! Several of my guests didn't stop commenting how good you are, especially due to the way you got people involved. A very professional and talented show. The three of you were amazing. The whole experience was like being transported to Cuba. Your English covers were a brilliant plus. People were on the dance floor for hours. If you're looking for something different, refreshing, and special for your wedding day, I highly recommend VIP Formula!"

"We booked Carlo to play at our wedding and he was absolutely incredible! He set the perfect tone during our drinks reception, creating a relaxed yet elegant atmosphere that all our guests commented on. Later in the evening, he joined the DJ on the dance floor and completely transformed the party, the energy was amazing, and the mix of live sax with the DJ had everyone dancing all night. Carlo is not only a talented musician but also a true professional, easy to work with, flexible, and passionate about making the day special. We honestly couldn’t recommend him enough for anyone looking to add that extra spark to their event!"
