Please use us as a reference anytime! Take care!" ~ EB Bat Mitzvah

 

 

 

"Thank you for a fantastic performance at our wedding last Sunday. We had the best time dancing to your music - as did our family and friends. My family is still laughing over the endless Hava Nagilia (thanks for the endurance!). My mom had purchased one of your cds on her last visit to Baltimore and had been playing it none stop all summer. Needless to say, she had some high expectations also, and you surpassed both of ours. Great song choices, lots of lively attitude, and Felicia's voice was great (as were the guys, of course). Thanks again for everything!" Best Wishes, Lauren

 

 

"The Swamis ROCK! We got a killer response on your band from the Big Show party people. Thanks so much!!!" ~ Megan Hamilton, Program Director, Creative Alliance at The Patterson

 

 

"I wanted to thank you and The Swingin' Swamis for agreeing to perform at Out of Order IV. You guys were fantastic and numerous people that attended the event who were previously unfamiliar with you were enthralled by the performance and commented on it.  The event grossed approximately $18,000, the highest in Out of Order history.  Again, thank you. I look forward to working with you again in the future." ~ Julie Ann Cavnor/Assistant Director

 

"Sir Andrew did an incredible job for our daughter's Bat Mitzvah!! Thanks to Sir Andrew, the reception was truly magical and spectacular, as all guests (children and adults) were dancing and having an awesome time!!  Our friends and family told us that this was the best party they had ever attended! We highly recommend Sir Andrew as a premier entertainer for any celebration!" ~ Newman Bat Mitzvah


"I had the privilege to have Andrew host my daughter’s Bat Mitzvah celebration. He was amazing to work with [and] very professional. You can tell he loves to host a party. He has a lot of energy and enthusiasm. My family and guests had a terrific time. He created a memorable experience for us." ~ Kramer Bat Mitzvah

 

"Sir Andrew was so warm and welcoming to Jeremy, me, and our guests—from adjusting the mic and encouraging me shortly before I sang a song to my new husband, to making sure the evening stayed upbeat, exciting, and happy with each part of the reception that rolled along." ~ Santiago/Kuris Wedding Reception

 

 

"Karla was amazing.  Sooo nice.  Sooo professional and sounded amazing!" ~ The Newseum, Washington, DC

 

"When I was planning my party I was quite positive that I was going to hire a DJ.  I didn't think I would be able to find a band who could play a variety of music.   I enjoy listening to music from Etta James to Prince.  I also wanted someone who could get the crowd moving and dancing.  I was floored when I first hear Karla, she has an incredible voice.   She has this natural groove and you can tell she just loves what she does.  Additionally, she is a complete professional from responding to my e-mails in a timely fashion to hiring talented musicians.   After the party, my friends couldn't stop raving about Karla; she is incredibly talented and exudes great enthusiasm." ~ A.C. Wedding

 

 

"I would certainly recommend them. Their music is lively and upbeat, and I particularly liked their music for the rehearsal dinner we hosted, since the music was quite different from what the guests would be hearing at the wedding the following evening. The sound can be used either softly as background music, or elevated in volume for dancing. Everyone present at the party loved the atmosphere they helped to create." ~ N.S. Rehearsal Dinner

"Vadim hit just the right music. Pulling in the Italian music was a very shrewd choice. The Italian ambassador commented on what a thoughtful decision that was. His lighting effects really changed the character of the embassy’s reception room and, along with the music, it showed he really pulled folks up onto the dance floor." - T.L. 50th Birthday Party

 

"I could tell Vadim had prepared, what wonderful man. You guys really made my reception energetic and fun, thank you, thank you, thank you!" - N.M. Wedding
