Thank you Rosa! We had such a great time providing the soundtrack to your wedding celebration :) Congratulations again!
The Silantra Group, in our case the trio option with double bass, delivered an absolutely outstanding and captivating performance at our venue! Their blend of jazz left a strong impression on all our guests, myself included, and truly made the evening memorable. They made the logistics and communication effortless, and their punctuality made coordination smooth within our strict time schedule. They were extremely respectful of our requests and even arrived ahead of our event to ensure everything runs as expected. I cannot recommend them enough, and I will certainly be contacting them again in the future!
