Response from Eleanor Dubinsky:
Thank you very much! It was a pleasure to work with you and your colleagues, and to perform for your guests.
Eleanor and her group were just outstanding!
Great communication leading up to the event and set the perfect mood for our event.
Highly recommend her.
Response from Eleanor Dubinsky:
Thank you Nick! We had a wonderful time. It was a pleasure to work with you!
Eleanor was amazing, very professional and a great performer. She was easy to work with and met all of the needs of the event. I look forward to booking her for my next event.
Response from Eleanor Dubinsky:
Thank you Catherine! It’s a pleasure to perform in your wonderful boutique and community.
Eleanor was amazing, she even played songs that the children could enjoy prior to the wedding ceremony. Highly recommend!!!
Response from Eleanor Dubinsky:
Thank you Julie! Congratulations on your marriage. It was a pleasure to work with you, and to play for the children as well! I wish you and your (growing!) family all the best. Warmest regards, Eleanor
Eleanor was the perfect addition to my rooftop dinner. She accommodated the set list that I had in mind for my guests whose ages ranged from 17 to 67. I couldn't have asked for such an easy performer to work with since I had posted on here about a week before my event. I was a bit concerned since I contacted her so last minute, but she responded quickly and provided information before I even thought to ask. All of my guests and I loved her. When I think back to my birthday dinner, I can hear her beautiful voice in the background! It wouldn't have been the eventful night it was without her. I would definitely book her again and recommend her.
Response from Eleanor Dubinsky:
Thank you Erika! It was a pleasure to work with you and to be able to share in your celebration. You are a shining star. I wish you all the best in your next steps, and I have no doubt that you are equipped with the skills and values that will take you as far as you want to go (and maybe further!). Also - you totally got me into Bruno Mars' new record! It's my summer jam. Congratulations, and enjoy your summer!
Warmest regards,
Eleanor
Photos from this event
Eleanor Dubinsky and the musicians she partners with are highly talented and seasoned professionals. Their performance at my wedding was exceptional and created the mood and atmosphere I had envisioned. Eleanor' s cultural sensibilities are richly vibrant and lent themselves beautifully to my culturally diverse group of guests.
Response from Eleanor Dubinsky:
Grazie Elena! Your wedding and setting were absolutely stunning. We were honored to be a part of this day. I particularly enjoyed seeing the faces of the older guests listening to the classic jazz tunes. I felt we were transported to another time. Evviva gli esposi!
Eleanor played for our fundraiser with close to 200 people in attendance. She was accompanied by her terrific guitarist and the two of them together created a warm, welcoming environment for our guests! She sings like an angel and equally as important she is incredibly professional and easy to work with! Throughout the whole process leading up to the event she communicated often and made sure all our questions were answered. She even performed two songs we had requested, worked well with our audio/video team and move from an outdoor cocktail hour to our indoor reception, without fuss.
I would highly recommend Eleanor to anyone lucky enough to book her and we look forward to seeing her perform and her new album release coming out shortly!
Thank you Eleanor for making our event a night to remember!
Response from Eleanor Dubinsky:
Thank you Amy! Your event was one of the most moving and expertly organized events at which I've performed. It was an honor to be a part of such a special evening and a pleasure to work with you. Congratulations on surpassing your fundraising goal! All the best best to you and to the school.
Eleanor and her band fall under a category of "perfect in every way". She is a pleasure to deal with, planning was as smooth as it can be. Music selection and the band performance were just what we had in mind for our event. And of course, we loved her voice. I am a big fan now! We are looking forward to booking Eleanor again for future parties. Thank you!
Response from Eleanor Dubinsky:
Thank you Margarita!
It was a joy to work with you and to play music at your event. Sending you and your family all the best,
Eleanor
Eleanor Dubinksy and band's melodic sound permeated through a rather large room to over 500 of our employees. Our employees at NewYork-Presbyterian Brooklyn Methodist Hospital enjoyed their services, with many signs of heads bopping and grooving. Eleanor was an ideal vendor to work with; professional, accommodating and flexible.
From the first message exchange, Eleanor was professional and helpful in planning the perfect mix of singing and instrumental accompaniment for our ceremony and cocktail hour. Her voice is beautiful and really made our ceremony special! I highly recommend Eleanor to anyone looking for a wedding or event singer/musician.
Response from Eleanor Dubinsky:
Thank you Rebecca, and Petrina! Your wedding was lovely and it was completely my pleasure to bring music to this happy occasion. I wish you all the best.
Warmest regards,
Eleanor
Eleanor is an outstanding musician. She is very personable and very nice. Very professional and truly made our wedding reception a very special event. Several people asked about her and how could they book her for there events.
Highly Recommended!!!
Response from Eleanor Dubinsky:
Thank you Anthony and Marcia. It was a true joy to play at your wedding and to work with you both. I wish you a lifetime of love and happiness together. Abraços!
Eleanor was incredibly professional- responsive, accommodating, and very easy to work with.
Her music was elegant and helped to create an intimate feeling for our ceremony. It was absolutely stunning.
We would happily work with Eleanor again.
Response from Eleanor Dubinsky:
Thank you Courtney, and Morgan! It was a pleasure to work with you and to bring some of your favorite music to your special day. You are an amazing couple. I wish you all the very best in your continued life together.
We hired Eleanor to work with us on our May 2016 wedding and it was a dream. She was a great communicator, highly organized and (of course) above all, an amazing performer. She organized to bring in another musician - and they were just superb. Played a mix of music people know as well as two requested songs that mean the world to my husband & I.
I would definitely recommend hiring Eleanor for your event. We felt like we were in good hands the entire time -- and we were!
Eleanor Dubinsky performed exquisitely during our Museum event. Her melodic voice, eclectic songwriting, professional musicianship, and sparkling personality engaged our audience and brightened the celebration.
Response from Eleanor Dubinsky:
Thank you! It was a joy for me to work with you and to perform at the museum for your patrons. Three cheers for the arts and the tremendous value they bring to our lives.
We hired Eleanor to play cello during our wedding ceremony as well as sing and play guitar during the cocktail hour.
She was perfect!
Talented, great communication skills and easy to work with.
Highly recommended!!
Response from Eleanor Dubinsky:
Thank you Steve! It was a pleasure to work with you as well, and nothing makes me happier than to know that my music enhanced your special day. Congratulations again and warmest wishes,
Eleanor
A wonderful duet performance for our cocktail party... Extremely talented musicians that our guests truly enjoyed... beautiful performance... Will definitely book again for future engagements!
Response from Eleanor Dubinsky:
Thank you Anne (and Eric),
We had a wonderful time performing at your party. Our experience couldn't have been better, and we also enjoyed meeting your friends.
Happy Holidays and warmest regards,
Eleanor
Eleanor performed unbelieavble great! Her voice is smooth, intriguing and simply a pure joy to ears. The accompanying instrument only highlighted the vocal contribution, while the music itself set the mood to great. I am extremely happy I decided to book Eleanor, as there wasnt a single moment during her performance where everybody wasn't blown away by her delightful music.
Response from Eleanor Dubinsky:
Thank you Sardor! It was an honor to contribute to your special day. I wish you and your bride-to-be all the very best. Congratulations to you both!
