Leo did an amazing job singing at my daughters bat mitzvah. His song choices were perfect for the crowd. I highly recommend him for any event as he is able to cater to your needs!
Leo was punctual and played our songs that we requested. He was professional and highly skilled with his playing of guitar.
Our venue was a backyard wedding. Highly recommend Leo.
We had Leo and his band for our son’s wedding. He is very accommodating and detail oriented by travelling to the venue day earlier to make sure everything goes well on the big day. He played guitar during the reception, His music made the dinner more enjoyable . His band made the dance floor so small , I have to move some tables for more people to dace. Their music put the wedding into the highest point. Thank you so much Leo and your band for being part of making my son’s wedding so special for them and so much fun and great memories for us (I am still digesting…) Great job Leo!!! Thank you very much !
Leo was nothing short of amazing. Would rehire anyway
Leo was great, had him for my grandpappy's 80th. Played a great mix of Irish and Italian tunes for our mixed family. Highly recommend.
Leo was fantastic! The event was a total success due in part to the amazing music Leo provided. The total experience was enjoyable from beginning to the end. Starting with the very professional contract agreement, punctual (early) arrival, work ethic throughtout and in general a very friendly attitude, and culminating with very good quality guitar music, anda repertoire built to please the audience:) Overall a great experience for the host and the guests alike!
I would totally recommend Leo be a part of your event.
Leo is a fantastic and talented musician! He and his band played at our wedding and he was very accommodating and went above and beyond to ensure that the music would go smoothly that day. He played instrumentals during our reception and later livened up our dance floor. I can say for certain that Leo and his band made our day more special. I would recommend him to everyone.
What a wonderful addition to our event! All of the guests raved about Leo's music. His classical guitar was the perfect choice for my 50th birthday celebration. We will definitely be in touch for future events. Thank you so much!
Leo made a major contribution to our family by enabling us to have a Family Dinner and Havdallah Service in honour of our dear granddaughter's Bat Mitzvah.
First Leo was our teacher over six months as he enabled our granddaughter and me as the grandfather to prepare the songs for a musical Havdallah Service and then he joined us as the guitar accompanist in our trio to lead the family in the Service. The family feedback was "Amazing", So wonderful", "So meaningful" .That just doesn't happen without Leo .
Second, Leo as the superb guitarist he is, joined with his friend Ben, another superb guitarist, in providing terrific delightful guitar music for the Dinner itself. Leo took "ad hoc" requests in every genre as well as presenting the music they had planned for the evening. The Family was thrilled and had such a great evening.
Finally, Leo is just a wonderful person; he made our grandaughter and me feel so important; he was so patient ; he was cooperative and flexible in setting meeting times despite his busy schedule. He is very reasonable in what he charges.
If you are looking for a person to teach you or a loved one guitar or if you are looking for a guitar accompanist or if you are looking for fabulous entertainment at an event you are holding then Leo is "Your Man!!!!"
Leo played for our engagement Mass and dinner celebration and he truly brought musical beauty to the day.
He learned a few new songs that we especially requested - the melody and vocals were excellent!
During the celebration, he played soft, light music as a gentle background to conversation.
Leo is extremely talented! We are so happy to have had him playing and singing for us. Thank you, Leo!
Leo added so much to our brunch event. He performed solo and created the perfect ambience for us and elevated the event and helped make it quite special. Not only is he an exceptional musician he was a pleasure to work with.
We hired Leo to play a selection of Spanish/flamenco music for a birthday 70th party “Barcelona theme”. Leo played our musical selection and was able to take requests and even learn new music for our event. My guests were literally blown away! So pleased with his professionalism. Everything was exactly as we hoped for.
I had heard Leo perform at a friend's birthday. He is really good at picking the right music for the occasion and interacting with the crowd. I hired Leo for a Zoom event and he was awesome! Great music, great interaction, great fun! :)
Thank you Leo
My best friend invited Leo to perform a surprise virtual Zoom concert for my birthday this year since we were all stuck at home for a lockdown. Leo took the trouble to learn an entire playlist of my favourite songs including 90s throwback hits, obscure Broadway tunes and a whole set of classic Disney songs. He had everyone on the Zoom call singing along and having a wonderful time. It was one the best birthdays I've ever had!
Leo really tied my whole engagement together - wouldn’t have been the same without him! His playing was impeccable and it was also appropriate and incredibly romantic without being too cheesy. He played ALL our requests but also picked some songs that we vibed with a lot. We would have him again in a heartbeat - but only for the wedding! Haha, we plan on sticking together, so no more engagements for us (though we’d recommend him to a friend for sure!). Honestly, he was such a great performer who was so professional and courteous, punctual - a genuinely rare find in the Toronto scene! Thank you Leo, we had a blast!
Response from Leo Orlov Music:
Hi Jennifer,
What a kind review, I love it! I'm so glad you both enjoyed it so much. I honestly had a ton of fun learning all your requests, most of which I have always known but never learned how to play. I hope you guys have a great year together and I hope you know you call me anytime you need music.
Sincerely,
Leo
Leo and Natalie were amazing at our party! They setup quickly and were ready to go within a few minutes. Both Leo and Natalie are phenomenal singers with amazing voices, they sang all of our requested songs and more. Everyone really enjoyed it! Would definitely recommend!
Leo was very professional. He is aware of his audience and is able to temper music to meet the needs of guests. He supplied background music and vocals for a dinner party and was able to consistently provide a pleasant and warm atmosphere to the evening. Leo was capable at playing requested songs and interweaving them with a variety of his own music. I would highly recommend this performer for any gathering in which you wish to elevate your event with a little refinement.
Response from Leo Orlov Music:
Hi Tyler,
Thanks so much for the kind words. Your gathering was super pleasant and I had a great time playing for everybody. The requests were a fun addition for me. All the best!
We hired Leo for a 40th birthday bash where Leo provided background guitar music. He has a fantastic repertoire and a cool vibe. We enjoyed the music and would highly recommend him for your event.
Response from Leo Orlov Music:
Hey Elliot,
Thank you for the kind words as always. Always a pleasure to be around the family.
Sincerely,
Leo
We were fortunate that Leo was playing on our wedding. The music was so beautiful and it made the ceremony very special and romantic. In addition, Leo worked with us to pick all the songs and gave great recommendations. I highly recommend Leo if you are looking for weddings and any other occasions - you will not be disappointed!
