Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on June 16, 2017•From Metter, GA
I love him..I definitely want to book him again, he's so humble and gentle in spirit. I had a wonderful time listening to him, the party guest loved him some even asked about his services. It was great, can't wait to party again and book him, the party will never be forgotten and it was truly an honor to have him play at my house and party, he's wonderful with the guitar. God gave him a wonderful gift to display.

Jim and Sylvia highly exceeded my expectations when I hired them to play at my Jacksonville wedding. Not only is the duo extremely talented on the guitar, they also went above and beyond to customize the playlist to fit each portion of the night. In order to accommodate my desire for Salsa music to dance to, Jim and Sylvia studied the guitar tracks on various Salsa songs and played along with the track. Sylvia even plays the ukulele, which was a great fit and quite the hit for my Spanish Luau theme. I would highly recommend Jim and Sylvia to anyone looking for the romantic sound of the Spanish guitar and would hire them again in a heart beat.
Wine Tasting Party•Reviewed on September 17, 2009•From Columbus, OH
We were beyond satisfied with the performance from Jim & Sylvia at our Spanish & South American themed wine dinner! They did a wonderful job not only with their beautiful music, but also in the way that they controlled the flow of the evening. Soft background music for the first two courses and strolling throughout the tables to the delight of our guests for the remainder of the dinner. They were the perfect compliment to our culinary event!

Jim and Sylvia performed at my wedding and although I did not get to hear very much of their playing (I was kept hidden for most of the music), what I did hear was beautiful and exactly what I asked for. Jim and Sylvia were very accommodating to my music selection and the time constraints. They arrived on time and were only supposed to play for about 2 hours, but when the wedding pictures delayed the beginning of the reception, they continued to play until it began. I have received nothing but compliments on their performance at the wedding/reception and I am very appreciative they were available and that they did such a great job.

As Ohio's most booked DJ, I wanted my personal birthday party to be a true FIESTA. So, I invited Jim and Sylvia to be my entertainment. They came early, dressed in the perfect and professional mariachi dress, collaborated with me on party details, and performed in an unmatched manner...and I wanted the best! Jim and Sylvia incorporated my guests’ impromptu requests into their show. Everyone loved the strolling mariachi style they included, and they wowed my guests. Access the Kalal's website and book them for your next event. You can google DJ Jerry T and call me for a reference. Thanks Jim and Sylvia! You have a set of new friends!

Sylvia & Jim,
You are truly artists and your music was both entertaining and fun to dance. My friends and family still give compliments as to your performance for my wife's Surprise 40th B-Day Party. I hope that others will consider the immense talent they receive when the book an event with you both. I am truly satisfied with all you've done and look forward to hiring you again for our occasions.

Perfect duo for a rehearsal dinner. Originally hired because of their unique version of Ravel's Bolero, they played more than 2 hours, attending to guests' requests, passing through Flamenco, Classical, Blues with passion and talent. They were absolutely professional regarding the preparations, with clear contract and good client communication; they arrived on time, even though driving from a distant city, were very respectful of the environment of and knew perfectly how to communicate with guests to make they feel home, with the precise kind of music to each moment. Thank you.
Anniversary Party•Reviewed on June 22, 2009•From Sharon, PA
Jim and Sylvia made a fantastic addition to the 50th Wedding Anniversary party we had for my parents. Initially they played in the background as people mingled and talked. When people settled at their tables and finished eating, Jim and Sylvia moved throughout the space and played to each table. They played music and fielded requests from all ages and all genres and even played some beautiful original music they wrote for their children. They were pleasant, professional and played until the party ended. We closed the party with them playing songs that my parent's knew and loved with my parents singing right along with them.

Jim and Sylvia were exceptional and greatly enriched our family celebration. With many wonderful compliments about their performance, we are already wishing we had another celebration so we could have them back. We especially enjoyed their troubador-style of entertainment as they moved about the room playing tasteful selections, taking requests from guests, and making friends. Truly, they seemed more like part of the family than entertainers. They are gracious people and talented musicians. We give them our highest recommendation and hope to see them again soon.

Jim and Sylvia are 2 of the most pleasant people I've ever met and she is so beautiful that even without her talent she would be a joy just to watch. Anyway their performances were throughly enjoyed by our festival goers and country representatives, France, Israel, Italy and Ireland especially liked them.

I adore what Jim and Sylvia brought to our event. I wanted to welcome guests to our ceremony with lively sounds: Flamenco, Salsa, Mariachi and Swing. When I arrived at the wedding, hiding from view, everywhere, everywhere, I saw a lot of really happy people having a boogie together—starting in their seats! Jim and Sylvia are warm, enthusiastic and flawlessly professional. Their music truly wove touches of enchantment into our wedding.

Unfortunately, my event was cancelled, so I was unable to enjoy what I am sure would have been a wonderful performance. However, in the process of talking with Jim and Sylvia, I found them to be very accomodating and gracious. I am definitely going to invite them to perform if I ever get engaged again.

Jim and Sylvia were professional in every aspect. They were attentive to every detail of my requests and communicated regularly before the event. They arrived at the agreed time and were friendly not only to me, but throughout the evening to my guests. Jim & Sylvia were flexible and quickly adapted to changes throughout the evening as needed; they mingled among the guests and happily accommodated requests. I was impressed by their huge range of music genres, from Jimmy Buffet to Led Zeplin, and from Bach to Elvis. Bravo, Jim and Slyvia.
