We had just a small group of family and friends. Some had gone through some difficult times recently and this was such a happy time for them. John was so thoughtful and eager to play whatever requests were made. We can’t wait to do this again next Christmas.

We booked a jazz trio through John D'Amico, and they were phenomenal! They arrived on time, dressed impeccably, and delivered an incredible jazz performance that truly elevated our dinner event. Their music set a sophisticated and enjoyable atmosphere, and they transitioned seamlessly with the DJ afterward, showing true professionalism. We couldn’t have been happier with their talent and poise—highly recommend them for any event looking for that perfect jazz touch!

I recently hired John as an acoustic guitarist for a 3 day cooperate event, and I couldn't be more impressed! From the moment we first communicated, John was friendly and professional, making the entire process so easy. He was punctual, arriving exactly when he said he would and his communication skills were excellent.
As for his performance, John is incredibly talented. The music he played was beautiful and created the perfect atmosphere for our event. He has a real gift for reading the room and adjusting his set accordingly, which made everything feel so personal and special. I highly recommend John to anyone looking for an acoustic guitarist. He truly went above and beyond, and I will definitely hire him again in the future!

John and the rest of his band are incredible. They put on a show for the ages. Even more importantly, John was easy to communicate with about the event and was creative finding solutions to everything I asked for. Thanks for a great night!!!

What a lovely addition to a funeral service this past Saturday. “Yesterday” played during a Time of reflection was perfect. Thank you.
String Trio
I used John D'Amico for my mother's funeral service. He coordinated with the minister and helped me select the music that I wanted. I highly recommend. We received so many compliments on the music
String Trio
I called D'Amico entertainment because the online professional quality of the presentation and the sound stood out from all the others. I was in charge of the music for my son's wedding and all I knew was that I wanted beautiful, cool and fun music to permeate the evening. From our very first conversation John D'Amico took time & patience and then several calls to inform me & help me find EXACTLY what I was looking for. His enthusiasm, talent, love for music, and desire to take care of his musicians and satisfy my vision was evident from start to finish. John created a seamless presentation of live classical and jazz musicians for the ceremony and cocktail hour, and a DJ for the reception. The music was awesome & diverse, and John was present for the entire evening to make sure everything came off without a hitch. John is a true professional, talented musucian and really cares about the music and making it work for you.

We had John at a party with friends and he was fantastic. Played a lot of hits and even some deep cuts (Breezin by George Benson!). Huge fan of John and a great performer.
Guitarist
John and his vocalist (Lauren Esper) brought the house down for an adult Halloween house party in Boston. They are a highly skilled vocalist and guitarist duo, played a great variety of songs, and were very personable, interacting with guests.
Also, John was highly communicative, flexible, and easy to work with.
Highly recommend for your next gig. Happy to provide a reference.

I was in need of a musician very last second and John not only got me one but also checked in with me the day before our event, called day of with an ETA and checked in afterwards to make sure things went smoothly. I have used his services now multiple times and will continue to. I would recommend John to anyone in need of a musician.

John sent us an excellent pianist to our venue for our birthday bash. He played jazz, classical and pop pieces with solid technique and with musicality in every genre. Our guests loved the music and so did we. As a professional pianist myself I appreciated the work that goes into preparing a music program. John was attentive to every request and always available. You can't go wrong with his recommendations!

I will rehire him for future events!!

John and Bao performed beautifully, energetically, professionally, and without many or long breaks. Their choice of music was spot on and they showed great enthusiasm. I highly recommend them and appreciate their dedication to their art.

Thank you to both,

We had John as our guitarist and his partner Leah Parrett as the singer during our reception. They were absolutely stellar. My guests couldn't stop talking about them even days after the event! We had quite a few guitarists and singers attending my wedding and they were blown away by the talent that these two brought! Leah's voice is so full of life and really brought a beautiful element to the songs. John's expert guitar playing and his love for playing music really showed. Highly recommended!

John was fabulous. He had a fabulous female singer with him. The best music ever.

Thank you so much we had a blast!
We hired D’Amico Entertainment for our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour music. We loved working with John who was able to make our vision come to life! We wanted piano and violin for the ceremony and then jazz music for the cocktail hour, and we got our dream come true! John was also very organized and responsive! We hired five musicians, who learned multiple pieces of music for our ceremony, ranging from piano, bass, saxophone, guitar and violin. The music sounded wonderful and are so talented! If looking for musicians, highly recommend!!

I booked John D'amico Entertainment to bring a quartet to our senior living community for a special event. The group played mostly pop at my request, and some jazz standards, all in jazz style. We all were blown away with the quality of their talent and musicianship of the group! John is not only crazy talented, but he has been a delight to work with in bringing this event to fruition. All of the performers were gifted on their individual instruments and were very engaging to watch. All agree this has been one of our best events to date. Our residents are already asking when they will be back!
John and his very talented string quartet crew played for our college graduation party. They were fantastic and really created a great vibe and energy at the event. All our guests raved about them and said it was one of the highlights of the night. John was very easy to work with in the run up to the event and they were all very professional and cool. We would definitely hire them again for another event. Thank you John for helping to make the night so special.
DJ was on time, professional, very friendly and played all of my father’s favorite songs. Would highly recommend.

John is wonderful! So professional and responsive. He was so helpful finding the right talent for my daughters 21st birthday. Was so thrilled he was able to accompany her! Everyone loved the vibe and selection of songs to create an Apres Ski Lodge feel for the theme of the party.

John was a pleasure to have at our event! He was on time, super friendly and an outstanding performer!
John made my son‘s six year old birthday party so unique and fun. He arrived in a timely fashion and was so easy to communicate with. He really got the kids into dancing and played all their favorite songs. He topped off the party by playing the piano and singing happy birthday to the group. He made my son’s birthday truly unforgettable! I would hire him again in an instant!
DJ
John and his ensemble were on time, professional and extremely talented. Booking with John was simple and he was always available to answer any questions I had. My group raved about him and his band. They came in concert black and played most of our requests. If you are looking for an amazing jazz/acoustic band. I’d highly recommend them.

John played guitar as background music for our neighborhood block party. He did a wonderful i job and it was just the right way to add a festive atmosphere to our party, without being too loud to disrupt socializing.
John arranged a friend to play at our event, a casual evening with about 30 guests under a tent. The friend did a great job and John was very responsive and on top of all the details.

John provided a musician for the first annual CAPA Book Festival (sponsored by Connecticut Authors and Publishers Association). He sent Kyle Langlois, who played background music for several hours and received compliments from both our vendors and our patrons. Kyle is a talented musician who really provided ambience for our event, and we're hoping to be able to have him play at other events requiring music. Bravo to Kyle, and Bravo to John for finding him. Rather than guitar, he played keyboard and it was terrific.
Pop Music
John arrived as schedule, polite and punctual. After some brief introductions he set up his post and began practicing some pre performance riffs and melodies. Curious eyes turned to appreciative smiles, and it was abundantly clear that Johns buttery smooth finger picking would meet and exceed our expectations. There was no preset list of songs just a handful of hopes. Easy, enjoyable and familiar.
The floor was his, and he didn't disappoint. Bravo!
