This fabulous, talented duo not only provides excellent music, but they're highly professional and…read morea delight to work with. Hillary (piano) and Monika (violin) have their own nice website with bios, sound clips, booking info, etc., but I wanted to add my rave review to the mix for them. Hillary and Monika provided the music for our wedding reception at the Brazilian Room in Tilden Park in May 2007 and we got lots of compliments on the quality of the music. They spoke with us quite a bit in the weeks before the wedding about what kind of music we wanted and Hillary provided suggestions when I was uncertain. As the reception was about to begin, I was embarrassed to realize that I hadn't actually had anyone move the piano to the correct location for them, but they gamely rearranged and didn't make me feel bad about this obvious goof on my part. In addition to playing beautiful music to high artistic standards, they are delightful people and were probably the easiest to work with of any of the professionals involved in the wedding ceremony and reception. Thank you, Hillary and Monika!

Eusebius Duo was exactly what I was looking for. I needed a duo that could perform church songs as…read morewell as pop songs for our October church wedding. I thought it was going to be difficult to find someone who can play Ave Maria, Bittersweet Symphony, This I Promise You (by Nsync) and Sweet Child O Mine (Guns and Roses). But Eusebius Duo was able to deliver! If they didn't know the song, then they learned it! My wedding music was exactly how I had pictured it in my head! The duo was very professional and experienced! All I had to do was give them our wedding time line and they knew what to do from there! I didn't have to worry about anything regarding our music! Thank you to Hillary who was very responsive through email and super helpful too!

Wow! I just had the greatest evening! My BFF stood me up for dinner (it was a legitimate excuse)…read more I was in the hood already and not ready to go home. I walked by Blush wine bar and there was this Jazz trio playing that sounded so good I just had to go inside. It is rare that I see a performance group that is so talented that I get emotional; just for the sheer appreciation and enjoyment of the music. Fantastic! http://dougmartinguitar.com/

Not only did Ben, play and sing beautifully, but we also really enjoyed working with and getting to know Ben. Ben made our event so special and the whole family fell in love with him.

Ben's band played (wonderfully) at our wedding 9 years ago. When our son, now 8, decided he wanted…read moreto learn how to play Mandolin (he got the idea after having been to a Dan Zanes show), we contacted Ben to see if he gives lessons. He does. Very good ones. He has been an enthusiastic and creative teacher; he takes his work seriously and is a real professional, but he is fun and patient enough to deal with an 8-year-old boy. Our son's music is a real joy for us to hear (getting him to practice regularly: not always such a joy...) and I recommend Ben very highly.

If you're looking for someone who provides excellent entertainment at parties, you need to consider…read moreShowbiz 911. Robert Edwards can pretty much do anything, and recently he came as Mickey Mouse to my grandsons first birthday party and the kids were absolutely thrilled to see that he not only looked exactly like Mickey Mouse, but he sounded like him as well! You usually don't find characters like this that actually speak the voice as well. After entertaining the kids with his Mickey Mouse routine, he left and reappeared as a "wizard" and did magic and balloons, and everyone from the kids to the adults were amazed. Robert is very gifted, so if you're looking for some good entertainment, you may want to give him a call.

Patrick is so great! Hired him to play festive tunes for an holiday event. Patrick brought it with…read morean extensive body of music ranging from classic to modern.

Lee Waterman heads this troup. Shake specializes in weddings, corporate celebrations, and special…read moreevents. We hired them for our wedding after listening to their cd, and it was by far the best choice we could have made! The songs were excellent, the delivery was perfect, the energy was all there, as well as the experience and skill we were looking for. Lee was also able to provide a duo for the ceremony (flute & guitar), a duo for the cocktail hour (sax & guitar), and a 5pc. band for the reception. There are up to 8 band members that you can hire. The guy on the sax was stunning! They played all our favorites, mambo, samba, jazz, funk, disco... the band offers many songs and artists to choose your 'playlist' from. I couldn't recommend Lee's band more; they were perfect and our wedding was a magnificent event as a result. With ultra competitive pricing, too!

The first part of our wedding they played the classic big band/swing music that we love. Then, just as the party was heating up they switched over to rock and got the crowd moving. The dance floor was packed nearly all night and the General Manager of our wedding venue commented that this was the most people he had ever seen on the dance floor. Thanks Silver Moon for making our wedding memorable and incredibly fun!

Matt Baker did a variety of stunts,…read morea bit of juggling, chinese yoyo, balancing act with a bowling ball, and a trick with a balloon, vase, and blowdart... all combined with stand-up comedy, in corny fashion, one liners that had me laughing out loud. But I may have been the only one :P None of his bits were mind blowing, and he got lots of kids from the audience involved, which kind of dumbed it down a little. But that's what I'd expect at the county fair. And the performance was still enjoyable for our adult-only party. He also guilted my bf into giving a little girl in the crowd five bucks, lol. It's okay, he gifted us one of his books "C is for Conspiracy". The artwork makes it look like a kids' book, but I'm not sure I wanna give this to my niece or nephew so they can learn about the Illuminati, Elvis faking his death, or governments covering up UFOs. Funny book though.

You can bring in your own food & purchase wine & snacks with cash. Tickets were fairly priced. This is a very small production company, so there is some room to grow, but they really made it a lot of fun. A few suggestions would be: (1) Microphones for the actors. The actors did a great job projecting their voices & the audience was as quiet as possible, but there were times it was challenging to hear. (2) Brief synopsis of the play in simple language in the playbill. I look forward to future shows :) !
