Birthday Party (Adult)Reviewed on July 13, 2018From Valparaiso, IN

What a pleasure to have them as part of our family get together. Everyone complimented me about the singers performance and what a great group of guys! Thanks to all and thanks to John Q for all you did. Dave

Chicago Retro:

Dave, What a wonderful family and fun event. I really liked to look on you Mom's face when the four guys she thought were waiters started to sing. Thank you for choosing Chicago Retro and the nice complements.

Birthday Party (Adult)Reviewed on June 18, 2018From Dyer, IN

John Q and his troupe were just great. Very professional and very fun. Prompt and right on time. They are of a similar era and age group for the person they were hired to perform for. A lot in common with my Uncle and had an appropriate repertoire of songs from his youth (50's & 60's). Their costumes were great in the traditional style of an old-fashioned barber shop quartet. Most importantly, they truly seemed to enjoy what they were doing and making sure the recipient felt comfortable. Made it personal. I would recommend them to anyone. Good value as well.

Chicago Retro:

Joe, It was a joy to perform for Uncle Joe and family. Thank for the wonderful comments and choosing entertainers from Chicago Retro. John Q

Community EventReviewed on December 5, 2017From Oak Lawn, IL

Fermata D'Aria was a wonderful addition to our community event! All four gentlemen were extremely kind and professional. Interaction with the crowd was wonderful. We received great feedback from the attendees of the event. Fermata D'Aria's performance of Christmas tunes had both children and adults smiling in delight.

Chicago Retro:

Anniversary PartyReviewed on June 19, 2017From Chicago, IL

I had such a pleasant experience with these gentlemen. They were the hit of the party! Not only are they all emensley talented but they're very nice guys and know how to work a room. My husband and I will not hestitate in booking them for another event. We couldn't have been happier! Last minute the WGN morning show confirmed that they would be filming live at our event. In a rush I asked if they could accommodate WGN and film one early morning segment, before they were scheduled to appear at the event which was hours later. Fermata D'Aria not only nailed their live performance, but we're kind enough to donate all their tips from that day to our charity! Great guys!

Chicago Retro:

Alena and Lawrence, Thank you for your kind words and we had a wonderful time at your event. The Chicago Public Schools is a great cause and we look forward to working with you in the future. John Q

Christmas PartyReviewed on December 5, 2016From Willowbrook, IL

We had a wonderful experience with this group. They were able to "read" the party very well and performed accordingly. They knew when to be funny and when to be more serious and the people attending our party enjoyed them very much! The audience participation with "The Twelve Days of Christmas" will most certainly be one of the talked about events in years to come. Thank you John and Fermata D'Aria.

Chicago Retro:

Sandra Thank you for the kind words. We truly felt like guests in your home rather than performers. Have a joyous Holiday season. Sincerely, John Q

Grand OpeningReviewed on May 22, 2014From Plainfield, IL

We had a sports theme Grand Opening for Assisted Living. They wore their striped vests for us and mingled with the Residents & Guests. Everyone loved them and sang along with them. They were PERFECT!

EventReviewed on April 14, 2014From Bloomingdale, IL

The group was very professional and very understanding when we were running a bit late on the night they performed. They sounded great and our members enjoyed listening to them sing. We would hire them for another event. The only thing that some of our members wished they would have done is worn hats to go with their outfits.

Birthday Party (Adult)Reviewed on February 3, 2014From La Grange, IL

The guys went out of their way to create a unique, personal and special experience for our family. We were booking from out of the area and John made the process simple. He went above and beyond to make sure that we were satisfied and our needs met. Thank you. It was truly an evening we won't forget.

Private PartyReviewed on July 30, 2013From Lisle, IL

I cannot emphasize enough how much our 200+ guests enjoyed Fermata D'Aria at our recent event and how much I enjoyed working with them. Their talent is superb, they were prompt, courteous, engaging with guests, and met every need we had. I can't wait to have them back. Highly, highly recommend these talented guys. They do this because they have a true knack for it, and it shows! Thank you again!
