5 Star rating for sure! From booking to final payment my experience with Debora Galan and Silk was nothing but positive and professional. They were all set to play for a group of about 60 people for a 50th birthday party in Washington DC. They provided the provide vibe for the event with upbeat, jazzy music. Debora's voice was just beautiful. We received so many compliments from our guests. We will certainly book with them again!
Response from Debora Galán & Silk:
Thank you so much! I am so happy to have been a part of the festivities. You have a wonderful group of friends. Looking forward to the next event. Thanks a million!
Words cannot describe how we were blown away by the talent, energy and pure entertainment that Debra and her band provided. It literally MADE our event. She was so delightful to work with and very accommodating to each and every request. Professional through and through. After our event, we received so many compliments on the entertainment and are so pleased we decided to hire them. Please do yourself a favor and book them for your next event! 10/10 recommend!!!
Hired Debora and her partner guitarist for my birthday last night. Had very good comments from my friends, said they really like her voice. Came early and also dressed up for the Gatsby occasion. I would hire them again if I have another occasion.
Thank you.
Response from Debora Galán & Silk:
Thank you so much Noreen. It was a pleasure working with you and look forward to future opportunities.

We are a huge multimillion dollar company who is growing vastly, we hired Debora and her band Silk for our Garden party and we have had so many great reviews from our staff, residents and directors. The music was so nice and easy going to listen to and she was so accommodating. We will enjoy having her back again at our upcoming events of the year. Thank you Debora.
Response from Debora Galán & Silk:
Thank you very much for the kind words, Lydia. I really appreciate your time and look forward to working with you again in the near future.

Deborah and the band were super professional and superseded our expectations!! Everyone loved Deborah’s voice and way of singing; she’s amazing! We asked her to sing a new song and she did great! It was a pleasure having them be a part of our engagement. We definitely give them 5 stars and recommend them 100%! We will surely hire them again for all of our celebrations, including our wedding 🥰💍!

We hired Debora and Silk for an anniversary party. Everybody loved them unanimously. Perfect. Great Playlist of songs. Very talented. Great interaction.
Response from Debora Galán & Silk:
Thank you so much Mark. We were honored to be part of such a special day. You have a beautiful family.
Debora was great from the beginning of the planning process by communicating well and showing a desire to fulfill our needs. Debora and Silk let you choose the amount of musicians you need and understand the logistics of providing entertainment. Unfortunately we had to cancel our event but we were really impressed with Debora and looking forward to having them perform at our wedding.
Response from Debora Galán & Silk:
Thank You so much for this unexpected review. I am so grateful. I look forward to working with you in the future. Have a beautiful Holiday Season!

I hired the trio at the last few days before our event. They responded very well to the request that I had with Debora outlining the nature and age of the group. The event had about 65 people and I have been in contact with most of those post the event. Without any doubt the response has been outstanding and would like to have them for a return engagement.
Response from Debora Galán & Silk:
Thank you ever so much Glenn. I am delighted to have been so well received and are looking forward to future events. Until then, Cheers!
Kindest Regards,

Couldn't have enjoyed them more! This was perfect for our networking lunch and the music was great! Would definitely look into booking them again next time we're in San Diego!
My family and I hired Debora Galan & Silk to play at my Birthday Party a couple of weeks ago. I had previously heard them play at a Restaurant and was very impressed with their wide selection of music. From the initial contact two months prior to our event, and up to the date of our event there was constant communication between Ms. Galan and myself. She was very responsive to my questions and would immediately return my emails. On the day of the event they arrived in plenty of time to set up their equipment and started playing as scheduled. Their wide range of music from Salsa to Pop really got my guests on the dance floor. They also responded well to special requests which made my guests very happy. A fun time was had by all and my family and I were extremely happy with their performance. We will definitely hire them again for any future events.
Response from Debora Galán & Silk:
Dear Gloria,
Thank you so very much for the kind words. We are looking forward to future events with you! It's always an honor to play for such great clients.
Kindest Regards,

Professionals who needed no instructions. Debora and the band made it easy for the guests to enjoy the event with great music all night!
Response from Debora Galán & Silk:
Thank you all so much. It was such a lovely event and we were honored to be a part of it. Please keep us in mind for future events. LA is not too far. ;)
Kindest Regards!

I was not sure what to expect when I hired Ms. Galan and Silk to entertain at my 50th birthday party. I had only heard her once and enjoyed her singing, but other than that I had no other idea as to the extent of her talent. To say that I loved her performance, and that of the guitarist who accompanied her, is an understatement! I loved her singing! I loved their entire performance! The selection of songs, her beautiful voice, her grace and friendly personality, her ability to concurrently sing And play an accompanying instrument, the energy of the music- well, I was more than pleased by their performance! More like blown away! My guests, both during and after the party, also obviously enjoyed Ms. Galan's beautiful voice, and I know that at least a couple are interested in hiring her for their own events in the near future. I am so very happy that they came and made my 50th more fun than I had hoped possible! Thank you, Ms. Galan and Silk!
Response from Debora Galán & Silk:
Thank you so much for your kind words. You are a gracious hostess with wonderful friends. It was our absolute pleasure and look forward to seeing you all in the future! Abundant blessings.
Cheers,
Debora
Debora Galán & Silk
Thank you Debora Galan for adding the perfect touch of class and amazing vocals to my art reception. It was exactly what I hoped for! I look forward to having you perform at my next event!
Response from Debora Galán & Silk:
Thank you so much Monica! Really looking forward to it.
Blessings!
Debora
Deborah and her trio were a huge hit with our group! Not only were they able to play outstanding instrumentals, but Debora's voice is amazing. They entertained our group with a slow start of dining music and turned up the tempo with high energy dance music! Our group loved the trio so much that they requested them back for a second night.
Response from Debora Galán & Silk:
Thank you so very much for your kind words and your generosity Ms. Miller! Looking forward to future opportunities to work together. Until then, cheers!
Debora
They did a great job getting everyone up and dancing! It was a cocktail party for a conference, and everyone said they really enjoyed themselves.
Response from Debora Galán & Silk:
Thanks so much Valerie. Looking forward to future opportunities to work with you and your company!
Kindest Regards
Debora
Debora and her band performed at a company event for a celebration. She managed the appropriate number of folks for her band and ensured the logistics especially sound were appropriate for indoor. Many positive comments were made from employees how amazing the band was. Highly recommended.
Response from Debora Galán & Silk:
Thank you so much for the kind words. I look forward to working with you all on future events!!
Deborah was able to fulfill a last minute request for my wife’s 50th Birthday and the music was awesome.
Response from Debora Galán & Silk:
Thank you so much for the kind words. I am so happy we were able to be a part of it. Hope we'll have the opportunity to work together again on your next event.
Kindest Regards,
Debora
We had the pleasure of having Debora Galan perform at my husband's birthday celebration. Debora along with Mychael and Raymund created the perfect ambiance for the starlit evening. We started with soft jazz during appetizers followed by dancing to some of our Latin favorites after dinner. Debora had our guests dancing until the party closed down. She is a delight to work with and radiates warmth through her songs and to her audience.
Response from Debora Galán & Silk:
Thank you so very much for the kind words. We were delighted to be part of your celebration.
Looking forward to the next one!
Kindest Regards,
Debora
I organized a special cocktail reception and dinner for 70 guests during a conference held in San Diego, and being from Canada, I wasn't familiar with the local entertainment. I found Debora Galan & Silk through Gig Salad on a hope and a prayer, and my hopes and prayers were answered and well exceeded my expectations! Debora Galan has a beautiful voice (she literally gave me goose bumps when I heard her preparing) and her band (I hired a trio) were absolutely fabulous musicians! Having Debra Galan & Silk entertain our guests made for a very memorable experience for everyone! You could never go wrong hiring this very talented group.
Response from Debora Galán & Silk:
Thank you so very much for the kind words! The pleasure was all ours! Until next time. ;)
Kindest Regards,
Debora
Extremely professional. Great jazz sound. Our party had a blast. Perfect for quiet relaxing sexy parties. The best vocals. Will definitely consider hiring again.
Response from Debora Galán & Silk:
Hi Rob, Thank you so much for your kind words. I hope you have had a great year. As we approach the holidays, please don't hesitate to reach out if you are considering a private event and would like live music. We'd love to work with you again!
Kindest Regards,

Debora and her band knocked it out of the park at my birthday party! This band is so versatile... they did everything from Latin jazz to Michael Jackson to the Beatles and had the entire audience engaged in the music. Debora reads her audience well and adapts to the "feel of the room." The musicians in the band are ridiculously talented and super nice. I HIGHLY recommend this band for events. Worth every penny of their reasonable price.
Response from Debora Galán & Silk:
Thank you so much Jenell; it was an honor to be part of such a special celebration!
Looking forward to future events.
Debora
My fiancée and I hired Debora and Silk to play for our engagement party at La Valencia. She was very thorough and professional throughout the process. Before the event, we met with her to hear her live performance while playing at the Hotel. We went through her play list and she was happy for us (and our parents) to add in a few of our favorites. She was punctual and other than all that, incredibly fabulous. What a voice! We were so thrilled to have her play and all of our guests have been commenting on how incredible the music was. She's so talented and just has a great attitude. Thank you, Debora and Silk!
Response from Debora Galán & Silk:
Thank you both so very much! I am humbled by your kind words. An honor to work with you. Looking forward to doing it again in the near future.
Kindest Regards,
Debora
the music made the party...we had a great time!
Response from Debora Galán & Silk:
Thank you Dr. Lori! So pleased you all were happy. I really appreciate your comments. See you on the next one.
I can't say enough about Deborah Galan. Although I would have loved to book the entire band, it wasn't in my budget but Deborah was so accommodating and professional. She was great about communicating and always asking me for my wishes. We hired Deborah & her guitarist Jose for my husbands 40th birthday dinner party. They did a wonderful job & the music was a perfect touch for the event. I received so many compliments from my guests & I would hire them again in a heartbeat. Deborah has an amazing voice. I'd highly recommend this group for any event.
Response from Debora Galán & Silk:
Thank you so much Ana. It was an honor to work with you! Looking forward to future opportunities. Continued blessings, Debora
I recently hired the trio of Debora Galan , Jorge Camberos and Jose' Serrano to play at an intimate wedding and reception. My clients and all the guests raved about the fabulous music all night long. The musicians took the time to learn and play some of the bride and grooms favorite songs but Debora stole the night with her rendition of At Last for the 1st dance. Lucky us to have had such great talent all on one deck on one magic night. Thank you for making me look good!

Thank you ever so much for entrusting us with the entertainment! It is always an honor to be part of such a special time in people's lives. You did a marvelous job. Looking forward to the next event!
Kindly,
Debora
She has been two year in a row at my neighborhood block party and everybody loves her, besides we love she is bilingual and she can sing all the Spanish classic songs and hit songs too! She is very nice and friendly too!
Debora is one of the most corporate friendly performers I work with. Her sound is both sophisticated and enjoyable to all. The vocals are wonderful, and most importantly, Debora's stage presence is very good
Response from Debora Galán & Silk:
Thank you so much Loren! Very grateful!
Debora and her group were amazing last night! She was completely professional throughout the whole booking process. This group is definitely worth what you pay!
Response from Debora Galán & Silk:
Thank you so much Emily. It was a pleasure to work with you! Looking forward to other future events. :)

I hosted a small (18 people) house warming/Christmas party last week (12/29/12) and hired Debora to perform R&B and Soul music for the party. She asked me to send her a list of songs that we would like to hear, which I greatly appreciated. She was extremely professional, arrived an hour early, and was completely set up and ready to perform before our guests arrived. Because the weather was extremely cold and wet, the entire party occurred in the living room and dining room. Debora and her keyboardist (kevin) kept their volume low enough for us to talk and still enjoy their performance, which was AMAZING! I highly recommend Debora to provide live music for any sized event. I am looking forward to throwing a party this summer and booking Debora again for live music.
Response from Debora Galán & Silk:
Thank you so very much for your kind words! We look forward to working with you again!
We held a birthday party for about 30 friends at our home. Debora was hired and entertained the group outside on our deck. She brought a pianist for accompaniment and the music was fabulous. She is a great singer. She added class and personalness to our event. Thank you Debora for being such a huge part of an excellent evening. Our friends think we throw the best parties now.
Talk about a perfectly named group...Silk, pretty much encompasses everything about this band! Debora's stunning vocal quality and performance, the musicianship of her band mates, the professionalism of all. Debora sings from her soul. Simply put...radiant!
