"I was tasked with finding a band for my friend's wife’s surprise birthday party, and I couldn’t have been happier with The Jazz Affair. Her stunning vocals and Kostas’ smooth guitar, created the perfect atmosphere for the celebration. Their performance was both elegant and lively, setting the right mood for the occasion. We received numerous compliments from the guests, who were all impressed by the beautiful sound and engaging vibe. They truly made the event unforgettable. I can’t recommend them enough to anyone looking for a top class band for their private gathering or special occasion."
"Last Friday night, my partner and I paid a visit to the Chelsea Harbour Hotel for an evening of elegance, jazz music and fine dining at the hotel's weekly jazz night. The evening was underscored by a talented singer, guitarist and pianist who played a wide variety of music that everyone was able to enjoy. The music was very relaxing and smooth, giving the evening a mellow but upbeat atmosphere. As the evening went on, the music became livelier, and some diners even got out of their seats to dance to the jazz songs. In my opinion, the atmosphere that live music provides is unmatched and it really elevated what would have already been an exceptional meal."
"Myself and my Wife got recently married and we knew how music would have had to play such an important part to our special day. We were lucky enough to know this talented duo and we decided to trust them to provide the musical entertainment for the entire day and I have to say, they were absolutely amazing. From the moment they began playing, it was clear that they were a perfect fit for our special day. What struck us the most about this duo was their ability to create a warm and welcoming atmosphere, and how impressive was their synergy. They engaged with the guests in a friendly and approachable manner, and their music was the perfect accompaniment to the our romantic and joyful celebration. Their repertoire was diverse and inclusive, spanning a wide range of genres and styles, including some beautiful love songs that really captured the essence of the occasion. (she sang for us in Italian as well!) Throughout the day, The Jazz Affair enthusiasm and energy never faded. They clearly had a deep love for music, and their passion was infectious. What's more, they showed a great deal of care and attention to detail, particularly when it came to our special requests. They took the time to learn and rehearse several songs that were special to us, and their performance of these songs was truly heartfelt and moving. Overall, I would highly recommend The Jazz Affair to anyone looking for a talented, professional, and personable group to provide entertainment for their special day. They truly went above and beyond to make the wedding a memorable and enjoyable occasion for all involved."
