The Swedish Meatballs were spectacular at our annual Oktoberfest party! Ellen on the accordion and Larry on the saxophone brought so much energy and fun. Their music was excellent and set the perfect tone for a lively celebration. Beyond their talent, their engagement with our guests was wunderbar! They were friendly and interactive, even taking the time to play songs and games with the kids. They didn't just perform; they became a part of the party and created a memorable experience. If you want live music that will elevate your event and leave a lasting impression, The Swedish Meatballs are the perfect choice. They were a key reason our party was such a success!

Ellen arrived early to set up and created a pleasant atmosphere with the accordion as guests were arriving. She was very accommodating and played music that matched the vibe of the party. My grandmother really enjoyed the music. She coordinated games for us to play and really made the party fun. I highly recommend her for anyone looking for an accordion player to liven up their party.

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on March 9, 2025•From Zionsville, PA

Ellen (aka the Swedish meatball) was absolutely amazing! She called few days ahead of the party to go over details and song selections. The day of the event she had games set up for the kids and adults. She played all types of genres of music. She is very talented and made the event just wonderful. We all had so much fun. She even took photos and videos for us too! We can not recommend her enough!! I’m sure we will be using her again in the future for events. You won’t be disappointed!!

Oktoberfest Party•Reviewed on September 23, 2018•From Staten Island, NY

The Swedish Meatball took my Oktoberfest Event (three years running) up another ten notches! I hired her simply looking for some Accordion Music; while making plans over the phone she offered to do some Party Games as well which sounded fun. She came early, set up her instrument including some decorations, played great music, getting the crowd involved with some german sign-a-longs and then organized the games! It was a Blast! We had about 25 ppl and everyone loved her! I would highly recommend her for any event!

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on July 25, 2018•From Pompton Plains, NJ

Ellen is fantastic not only is she a great musician but she is flexable to any changes during a party. She brings a smile to kids of all ages with her party games. She can play all kinds of music but especialy new what my parents would want to hear knowing they both were Norwegian folk dancers.The Swedish Meatball was a big hit and made our fathers 90th birthday a wonderful day! Thank you again Ellen Yours truly The Olsen Family

Oktoberfest Party•Reviewed on October 11, 2020•From Midland Park, NJ

The Swedish Meatball may have been the difference maker, elevating our Oktoberfest from great to epic. We weren’t aware of what we were missing till we experienced the music and authenticity the Swedish Meatball provided. She was very accommodating and our guests loved her. Transaction was simple. Will definitely use again and recommend.

I was hosting an Italian themed event, and she was spot on with her costume, her song choices, and the level of engagement with the guests. Everyone had a blast and the guest of honor especially loved the entertainment. She was such a pleasure to work with, too! I would definitely recommend her!
