Response from Valeriu Chitac:
Thanks so much Tina!
We had the pleasure of having Valeriu play at our wedding, and he truly made our day extra special. Not only was he punctual and professional, but his talent was undeniable from the moment he began playing. I didn't need to give him any directions - he just knew exactly how to set the perfect mood. When my groom had a few technical hiccups, Valeriu swooped in with the perfect touch of humor, which had everyone smiling (myself included!). Many of our guests said that he was their favorite part of the wedding, and I received countless compliments on his performance. He is not only a talented musician, but a kind person with a charming presence that didn't go unnoticed. Highly recommended if you are looking for an accordionist to add warmth and allure to your event!

Thanks so much Alyse for such an incredible review! Thank you for the hospitality and generosity. Wish you all the very best!!!
Valeriu was exceptional. He was very professional, he arrived early and started playing right away. He was very pleasant, smiling and interacting with the guests. He’s also very skillful, his music was enjoyed by everyone. He definitely elevated the celebration atmosphere. Thank you Valeriu!
Valeriu was a wonderful performer for our event! We hosted an Italian themed cocktail party at a retirement home for all of our residents and family members and he was such a hit. He walked around to ensure all residents got a chance to see him, despite the busy atmosphere. He was punctual and polite, and even played an encore song for our guests! We would most definitely bring him back for a future event, thank you Valeriu.
Response from Valeriu Chitac:
Thanks so much Natalie, will be happy to come again!
We hired Valeriu to play the accordion at our wedding. He came in around 10:30pm as a surprise for our guests and they absolutely loved it! Everyone was dancing and cheering. He played some classic Russian/European songs as requested but also threw in some modern songs for the younger crowd. He was one of the highlights of the night, our guests are still raving about how much fun he was. He exceeded all our expectations!
Response from Valeriu Chitac:
Thanks Nicole, it was a pleasure to play at your special day!
Val was so great. 100% professional, never had to worry about anything on our big wedding day. Val is extremely talented but also knows how to work a room. He kept a room full of 80 people fully entertained the entire he played. He even improvised a Polish song with my Dad, so that my family could sing a traditional Polish song to the newlywed couple. My wife and I were trilled with Val. Thank you very much for all of your work to make our day special.

Response from Valeriu Chitac:
Thank you Anthony for the great atmosphere!
We hired Val to play at my husband’s birthday party. The event was held in a public park and had a casual atmosphere. Val was professional in our correspondence and arrived on time. Val exceeded our expectations. His talent on the accordion is impressive. He was flexible in song requests and adapted his performance to fit where people were moving about the open space. He exhibited a vast repertoire of songs, all played with the highest level. We enjoyed dancing to polka, the waltz and he even played wheels on the bus as requested by one of the younger guests. All of our guests loved hearing him play. I have a feeling we will be hearing about his performance for many years ahead. Our only regret from the day is that we didn’t have Val play longer! Thank you Val for making the party so special.
Response from Valeriu Chitac:
Thanks so much Laura for kind words and appreciation!
Val is so amazingly talented! He made our small family event a hit! Our family danced throughout his entire set and talked about him for hours after he left. He played all the italian hits my family love, and unknowingly played a very special tune that was very special to my parents. He will for sure be making more appearances at our future family events!! Thank you Val. We appreciate you.
Response from Valeriu Chitac:
Christina, I can't express my gratitude to you and your family for such an warm welcome! Thank you!
I hired Val to play at my mother’s Birthday party. He did a fantastic job and brought life to the event. The intention was for him to just provide listening enjoyment…,turns out we were all up dancing lol. He knows his stuff and is very easy to deal with. Thanks again!
Response from Valeriu Chitac:
Thanks so much Joanne, it was so nice to meet your family. Hope to see you again!

We recently had Val play at our cocktail reception for our wedding. This was the second time we hired him because we were so impressed the first time he played at my Grandmother’s birthday get together, and we were impressed once again! He is professional, punctual and very experienced. His performance was a surprise to our guests and they all enjoyed it very much! Val added something very special to our day and we received lots of compliments on his performance. Thank you so much Val!
Response from Valeriu Chitac:

Response from Valeriu Chitac:
Hey Joe, thanks so much for the appreciation! I wish you all the best.
We had a really great time and Valeriu is an expert with his instrument. He had a really professional setup and played a wide variety of music to our party. Since I kept it as a secret, everyone was greatly surprised to see and hear. Will definitely do this again with Valeriu. Thank you.

Thank you, Angela. It was a special evening!
Val came and played for us at my grandmother’s 96th birthday party. It’s not easy to make her smile these days, but even she was dancing in her chair and smiling the whole time Val played. Val was extremely accommodating with our choice of songs and very experienced. I can’t thank Val enough and I’d love to have him come play for another event!

Thanks, Kristen! It was a real pleasure to perform for such a nice family!
The crowd loved it and Valeriu had the dance floor going!

I recently had Val entertained my Big Italian Family at my Nonna’s 90th Birthday Party. He was an amazing musician who knew a lot of ‘Italian Classic Songs’ that my guests were entertained and was so impressed with. Even my 90yr old Nonna was up and dancing!!! I am looking forward to use Val again for another party. I was honestly very impressed!
Response from Valeriu Chitac:
Thank you, Michelle! It was an amazing party!

Having Val at our wedding was fantastic! It added so much to our day - what a great pleasure to meet him!
Response from Valeriu Chitac:
Thanks Jennifer! It was a great evening!
I recently held a bridal shower for my daughter and had the pleasure of having Valeriu perform for us during our chatting and dining. He arrived early to set up and went out of his way to make this event for myself, my daughter, friends and family, one that we'd remember for a long time to come. He knew exactly what pieces to play for the occasion and helped to create a magical experience. I look forward to hearing him play for us again at the wedding!!!! Thank you again!
Response from Valeriu Chitac:
Lucy, you and your family are great persons! Thank you so much for choosing me for your daughter's special day! Diakuiu:)
I had Valeriu play for the residents at an Oktoberfest event and everyone in attendance were very happy for the performance. He took time afterwards to speak with a few residents and showed off his other musical talents. I greatly appreciate your time and will have you come in in the future.
Response from Valeriu Chitac:
Thanks Bremen! It was such a pleasure to see people smiling and dancing. I would be happy to come again.
We recently had Valeriu play at my husband B-day surprise party (62 years).
Valeriu is absolutely wonderful, intelligent and professional musician-virtuoso, who demonstrated a wide musical assortment for different tastes and ages. Honestly, I did not imagine that everything would be very successful and interesting.
Valeriu created with his music an amazing aura and an atmosphere of fun, involving everyone to dance.
Thank very much, Valeriu! Looking forward to enjoy your talent again and we can recommend his playing to everyone!
Response from Valeriu Chitac:
Thank you Natalia for the review! You have an amazing family. Hope to see you soon!
I was looking for an accordion and violin duo for my wedding and I found Val and his violin partner. They couldn’t be more perfect!!
They were very professional and responsive. I shared the the type of songs that I wanted with them and they accomodated all of our requests and performed so perfectly. Every guest was so touched by the music. Thank you so much for making my wedding day an unforgettable memory! We will definitely invite you two again for future events!

It was an exceptional atmosphere and we really enjoyed performing at the event.
My wife and I recently had Valeriu play at our wedding during dinner. He was professional, on time and accommodating from day one.

Val truly added something extra to our night and we are still receiving compliments on his performance over three weeks later. Val, thank you so much - you were amazing!

Thank you Sabrina for the kind words. I did my best!
A surprise party for my friends Marta and Wladimir celebrating her 65th and his 70th birthdays at a local Portuguese Restaurant in Oakville. Asked Val to play Spanish, Italian, Russian and Portuguese melodies and to give me the name of the pieces that he will be playing so I will get the lyrics and print a booklet to sing-along. He complied to all my requests and we had a great night of music, songs and dance. Val is a true professional and he has a very pleasant personality. I will be contacting him again in the future because he is very good.
Response from Valeriu Chitac:
Thanks for the review Maria! I'll be happy to perform again for you!

We had Valeriu performing at our wedding/ reception. He played la vie en rose as I walked back up the aisle and then continued to play for 3 hours during the reception. His playing set the most amazing tone to our wedding and was one of my favourite parts of the day. My sister is even planning to use him for her wedding because she loved it so much. Thanks again Valeriu!!!

He was such a pleasure to have there. He knew every song that was requested... and always had a smile on his face. He is very professional and talented.
Thank you for making my fathers birthday event extraordinary!
We had Val come to my dad's 70th surprise party as an extra bonus...it was a total hit with our guests and most importantly my dad loved it. He plays very well is great at feeling out the crowd and is very professional. I would highly recommend!
Thanks
Response from Valeriu Chitac:
Thanks Teresa. It was a great experience!
I had the pleasure of working with Val for a customer appreciation event and his professionalism, technical knowledge (knowing an entire repetoire of Italian music by heart? Wow!) and genuinely pleasant nature were perfect.
There were a few small hiccups in terms of finding the right extension cords but he managed to fly through gracefully.
His partner - Andrei - was fantastic, with over 20 years of experience.
I sought out a duo that had genuine street performer experience to get the right vibe across - and these two surely delivered.
Highly recommend!
Response from Valeriu Chitac:
Thanks Phil, it was a pleasure to work with you as well! Now I'll make sure that I have a full range of extension cords too not only a great Italian repertoire:)
I had hired Val to play at my Mom's backyard birthday party. He was amazing, had everyone up dancing all afternoon. He was very professional, played our requests, it was very entertaining. I would highly recommend Val for any of your events, you will not be desapointed. I would not hesitate to consider Val for my next event.
A 5 star entertainer!
