Reno made our party a true Celebration! We are so grateful for his presence at my father’s 60th birthday party! Our Sicilian elders sang and danced along while Reno played! It was a true joy! Thank you Reno and GigSalad!
Reno provided a wonderful background of music for our son's rehearsal dinner. He was engaging with his audience and made the evening even more special. Many Thanks!
Thank you Reno for all of your contributions to making the Night in Paris an inviting success. You arrived early,
moved among the crowd with your engaging personality and wonderful music. You set the stage for
everyone who first walked through the doors. Special thanks to your friend who added to the ambiance.Your French costume and repertoire of music were spot on, no doubt because your parents hailed from both France and Italy!! Many, many thanks from Pleasanton Cultural Arts Council.
Response from Reno Di Bono "The Italian Accordionist":
Thanks Jan
The audience was so good to us
We thank you
Reno
So glad we booked him!
I hired Reno for my parents anniversary party and he was amazing. He was extremely responsive to all my questions and everyone absolutely loved him and his music. I highly recommend Reno and would hire him again in a heart beat.
Reno was terrific. While my sister teared up initially, with probably past memories of her husband, she eventually put aside the past and thoroughly enjoyed the present and the joyousness of the occasion, with the 50 or so friends and family members gathered to celebrate her life.
There were at least 2 party members that were so impressed with Reno that they asked me for his contact info.👏👏
Reno was fantastic helping us celebrate my Dad’s 90th birthday party. The music was fun, lively and was a tremendous part of the whole energy of the celebration. Thank you both so much !!!
Beyond our expectations!
Such a great addition to our party. Definitely organized, personable, and knew what song to play next based on the crowd. A special birthday event for a 90-year-old man
The guests felt like there were in Italy.
Highly recommend!
Showed up on time, very nice guy. Very reasonable pricing.
Reno was delightful. He quickly took the pulse of the group and fit his music to the event. He really made the birthday party extra special!
Reno was wonderful to work with. Of course he can play an aria from La bohème, but if requested ahead of time can also play a Chinese folk song. He is very mindful of his audience.
Reno was spot on. He looks the part for sure and is amazing. He was on time and once he started the songs and music was flowing. He spent time with every table at my mother's party. It is obvious this man has been playing and entertaining for a long time.
If you want an accordionist this is the best man for the job.
Thank You Reno

We could even sing some of the old Italian songs like oh Marie, Volare, and especially mom sang Ce La Luna
Reno is a trough maestro, music professional with a lot experience.
Beautiful performance , the audience from 5 to 95 years old loved him.
Reno put on an excellent performance as promised. He knew just the correct tone and volume to remain present and to allow guests to converse while enjoying the sounds.
Great job, thank you.
Arrived on time, played beautifully and sang a bit too!! Was such a lovely addition to the wedding cocktail hour. Would hire again, plus such a very nice man!! Thank you Reno, it was a pleasure.
Everyone was absolutely enchanted by Reno's providing the perfect atmosphere for our Italian-themed wine harvest party. I would hire him again in a heartbeat.

Reno
Reno. Was alot of fun at my father's 85th birthday party. He joined in the fun and was like part of the family.
I hired Reno's trio for my dad's 90th birthday party and couldn't have been happier. Reno is a really nice and very talented accordion player. He was flexible with timing, they showed up early to set up and then played beautiful music for 2 hours while guests socialized and ate. The sound level was absolutely perfect, not too loud, but just right. All our guests were extremely impressed with the music and I wouldn't hesitate to hire Reno again for another celebration.
This is your man for the Italian Time Warp. Amazing
Mr. Di Bono, with his high level accordion skills & personable demeanor, was a highlight of our 30 year class reunion. We thoroughly enjoyed his presence and would highly recommend him for any event to make it more memorable.
I booked Reno for my parent's 55th Wedding Anniversary and he was great! He played popular Italian music and even sang a few songs! He was very personable with guests and I really enjoyed meeting him. He made the event extra special. I highly recommend Reno - he's the best!
Reno played for my Dad’s 90th birthday and he was tremendous!
He was FUN & PERSONABLE! A very talented
singer & musician! His performance made our party a huge success!!!

Reno was a great addition to out party!
Last Sunday our club celebrated our annual Festa Italiana with 150 members attending. Reno DiBono and his partner Rob Rizetto were wonderful. I received so many praises from members who thoroughly were entertained by their music and singing. We would definitely hire them again!
It was satisfactory and served the event. Thank you! Please stop emailing me.

Did not disappointed. He was friendly, funny, talented and made the event unique . I would recommend him a thousand percent.
Reno was very accommodating and everyone at the party liked him very much.
Arrived on time. Played along with my uncle who brought his saxophone.
We needed to warm up the crowd with some classic accordion and Reno was a perfect fit for occasion .
Reno provides accent music for my outdoor parties, his interactions with the guests is great.
As always thank you Reno for a wonderful evening of accordion music.
We enjoyed Nino and the songs he played. He interacted with the guests and took requests. We would hire him again.
My event was outdoors, last day of summer, Reno was perfect for the venue. He interacted with my guests, played fun songs, and he genuinely enjoyes what he does.
Everyone loved the music.
I would hire Reno again for a party.
Reno performed at my wedding and he did not disappoint. He played all of our requests from the Rat Pack to classic opera. Reno is an amazing accordionist and performer. He knows how to engage a crowd. Everyone was sing along to Dean Martin. We couldn't have asked for a better experience at our wedding. Look no further. Reno is your guy!
