Verified booking on FixTheMusic"The band played at our daughters wedding last weekend. As soon as they started everyone said they were perfect for the event. They knew exactly where to set up they looked great and pitched the volume and tunes exactly right. They then moved to the dining area for the last set and by then the place was swinging. They were very professional friendly and sounded great. They added a lot the the occasion and we could not recommend them more highly. Thanks again to the band."
Verified booking on FixTheMusic"Nous avons été enchantés par ce groupe qui a assuré l’ambiance musicale lors du vin d’honneur de notre mariage. Les musiciens en plus d’être talentueux sont très sympathiques et professionnels. Nous les recommandons vivement!"
Verified booking on FixTheMusic"We booked Clement and the guys for our wedding in the Correze at the end of June 2023. Clement was great in communication throughout and the band were all exceptional instrumentalists. We had a great day and lots of great feedback on the music from our guests. Thank you!"
Verified booking on FixTheMusic"Thank you so much for playing so beautifully at our wedding. Due to a last minute change of seating the band were a little further away in the ceremony, as we decided to sit the guests in the shade, which was further away from the stage and I was worried the guests may not hear the band fully however they did. We have received so many comments on how fantastic the band were. At the reception the band played on arrival which was amazing and I could also enjoy the music in its full glory. Such a great band, thank you so much! I would recommend them without hesitation. Kind regards, Marianne."
Verified booking on FixTheMusic"Très professionnel et facile à communiquer avec eux avant notre mariage. Ils sont arrivés à l'avance et se sont adaptés à tous nos besoins. Tout le monde a apprécié leur style et ils ont créé une excellente ambiance tout au long de notre réception. Nous recommandons fortement The Toulouse Gypsy Jazz Band!"
Verified booking on FixTheMusic"Clement and his band were fantastic! They made special efforts to play our requested songs and even an encore at the end. Highly recommend!"
Verified booking on FixTheMusic"Dear Clément (and to the whole band), We want to thank you so much for being a part of our wedding. You were all amazing and a highlight of the day. Everyone was very impressed and loved your music. It was a really special part of the wedding. I am glad we were able to put you up. We were determined to find a way for you to be here! I’m sorry for the initial power issues and that we ran late so you weren’t able to play the last two songs. We were running so behind and needed to do the first dance. But please know we would have loved to have you play all night! Please let all the musicians know how fantastic they were. Hot jazz is our favorite and you all played beautifully and it contributed so much to everyone’s experience. Many guests told us how much they loved the band. Please let us know of any gigs you play that we can come see near Vence either in late December/January or the summer. Merci beaucoup Clément! Tanya and Andy."
