Amy and band did a terrific job! Played for 3 hours without taking a break!! Definitely would hire them again!
Amy and her band did an amazing job. A lot of my guests commented on how impressed they were by the music and vocals. I plan to book her again for my next event.
Ms. Manette and her band were simply wonderful! Clients loved them, their sound was fantastic, very volume appropriate, and a pleasure to have their music fill up our space.
I would highly recommend them!
They were so entertaining and fun! I have never booked a band before and they made it so easy and stress free. The evening was so fun and we are very happy with how everything worked out.
My husband and I were out on our date night, just so happened Amy Manette was performing that evening, we fell in love the band!!
In that moment we knew they had to perform at our wedding reception, we asked and they accepted.
We had special music requests,without a doubt, they nailed it, we could not have been happier with the band!!!
Phenominal !!!!
Our guests from our wedding are still commenting how wonderful you all are!!
The band was great from beginning to end. Each member was fun and professional. They were very engaging and skillful with their instruments and voices. They have a perfect jazz sound that complimented our brunch event wonderfully. I could not recommend them more and would welcome them back any time for future events.
