What Clients Say

“Absolutely incredible! The band was amazing from beginning to end. They arrived on time, were professional, super friendly, and looked fantastic. The singer was AMAZING and everyone at my party loved them! They also recommended dancers who were incredible and truly took the party to another level. It was the cherry on top! I received so many compliments from my guests. I couldn’t be happier with my choice. I highly recommend them and will absolutely hire them again for another event. Thank you for making my birthday unforgettable!”

— Verena S., Birthday Party | New York City | The Bash

“Fantastic band. They accommodated every one of our requests, including a few while the event was happening. The band was professionally dressed, fun, energetic, and lively. They had to move their equipment three times, including lakeside, patio, and upstairs to the ballroom. No complaints at all from the band. We would hire them again in a heartbeat. Our absolute favorite song they played for us was ‘Fly Me to the Moon.’ Our only regret is we didn’t hire them for a longer period of time. Highly recommend. 10/10.”

— Barber M., Wedding | Lake George, NY | The Bash

“Charlie Roman Hot Club is literally the best. 10/10. Charlie was always super prompt to respond and accommodating to my requests. He and his band are some of the most talented musicians I’ve ever heard and really made our wedding such a unique and unforgettable experience. Can’t say enough good things about them! I was also shocked that their rate was so reasonable for how talented they are.”

— Maria R., Wedding Reception | West Creek, NJ | The Bash

“They were fabulous and all guests loved them. They feel uniquely talented and special. We enjoyed the trio with Charlie in the lead. Adrien Chevalier was singing in French, which I loved. Thanks for making it a special evening!”
