They sounded great and put on a concert for us while interacting with our guest through out the show. Highly recommend!!

These guys were amazing. We asked that they play for an outside reception for about 80 people, but in a way that wouldn't distract people. The music was absolutely perfect...everyone loved the evening, and they added so much to the event. Rick was so easy to work with and was exactly on time and the setup was extremely well done. These folks are dependable and perfect at what they do. You won't go wrong selecting them for your event.

Having background music at our son’s rehearsal dinner was the best idea yet. It added such a nice atmosphere to an already special event. The music provided was varied and pleased everyone’s taste. It was truly enjoyable!
Rick and Thom were very nice to work with. The ongoing communication kept you informed and at ease up to and during the event.
I would highly recommend them for any event.

I was very nervous at first about hiring live musicians because I have never done this before but I am very happy with my decision. Yesterday my fiancé and I celebrating our engagement party and a few weeks prior to the event we decided to hire Gomez and Sadlon to play at the event to make it more special. Our party was hosted at a restaurant during lunchtime and the music was perfect and gave a vintage feel that we were going for. They both arrived early, set up quickly, played for the entire event with only taking short breaks and even during the breaks they always had music playing in the background. They are both so nice and friendly. The whole performance was a pleasant surprise and very refreshing for many of my friends and family. They played beautifully and I have no regrets. They are a very talented duo. I am so happy I found these musicians and I chose them to play for my party

Look no further. You've tried the rest now try the best. Gomez and Sadlon created the perfect atmosphere for my parents 50th wedding anniversary party. Their performance was smooth as silk and they were very accommodating with all my guests special requests. I highly recommend them and cant wait for another event to hire them for.

If we could rate Gomez & Sadlon with a higher score, we absolutely would! We hired this amazing duo for a 60th birthday party and our guests are still raving about them! They were wonderful to work with - booking was easy, they were flexible with our timeline for the party, and even played Happy Birthday when the cake came out. We highly recommend hiring Gomez & Sadlon for your next event. We will certainly be using them again in the future. Thank you for making the party so much!

Having enjoyed numerous Sunday dinners at Barnwood Grill, serenaded by the superb musical duo, Gomez and Sadlon, we hired them to play at our Rehearsal Dinner of 30 at the Marriott. They came early, set up and played beautifully throughout the dinner, giving us exactly the mood we had hoped for at this most special occasion for our family. Everyone raved about how beautifully they performed yet they managed to stay in the background so we could present the toast and socialize as planned. It was a beautifully enjoyable evening that went exactly as we had hoped for and more! I would most highly recommend them as the perfect addition to any special event! Thank you, Rick and Thom!

We recently had a retirement party for our managing partner and wanted to do something a little special for the event. Gomez & Sadlon were recommended to me by the caterer and I listened to the music on their website and was very pleased. The event was 60 guests in a beautiful venue. They provided relaxed and soothing background music during cocktails and dinner and drew raves from the guests. Really added a lot to the party. I highly recommend them.
