Charisma did such an amazing job with our wedding! They absolutely nailed our requested songs and their repetoire is deep. The entire dance floor was filled from start to finish! Marie and Mitch were both also very helpful throughout the prep process. My wedding guests were telling me the entire reception "I can't believe how great your band is!".
I would absolutely recommend them all my friends and family for future events.

Charisma was amazing! Their is nothing that they could have improved upon. They played the music for the ceremony, cocktail hour & reception. They assisted in organizing the introductions & helped facilitate the major events throughout the night. They learned a new song for our first dance as well as for the father/daughter dance. We had a large (220+) & very diverse group yet throughout the night they kept people dancing & their performance was consistently awesome. At the end of the night our guests requested(demanded) more & Charisma happily performed an additional song for the crowd. Honestly could not have asked for a better group to play at our wedding.

Charisma was the band at our wedding, and we were very happy we chose them. We had a piano/guitar duet during our ceremony, which was excellent, and then the full band performed for the 4 hour reception. From our first dance choice, which was a challenging selection, yet done flawlessly, to the high energy hora, to the two main after-dinner dance sets, all our guests were engaged and partying. Afterwards, several people asked for the band’s contact information. Working with Marie prior to the event was great – she arranged all the details of the evening, including several songs from their song list that we definitely wanted them to play, and she was a perfect MC.

We were extremely happy that we chose to work with Charisma. We had a few special requests and they fulfilled them happily. We had great comments from guests about the band, and our event coordinator from our wedding venue told us that Charisma was the best band that they had ever worked with and that they were so professional and organized. I would recommend Charisma to anyone, they had us all on the dance floor and gave our wedding exactly the environment we were hoping for.

Thrilled that we chose Charisma for our wedding! They provided amazing entertainment the whole night from mellow, relaxing dinner music through the crazy dancing that capped off the night.
Everyone was impressed with their level of talent, energy, and overall presentation. In addition to their unforgettable music on the day of our wedding they were also very responsive, professional, and flexible for the many months leading up to it (including working a few special moments I requested into the evening). We chose them based on reviews and samples online - did not hear them live until the day of the wedding, it was well worth it!! I highly recommend them.

We used Charisma for our wedding in June and we absolutely LOVED them! My husband and I went to check out the band at their rehearsal one night and knew immediately that they were a good fit for the wedding. However, their live performance on the day of the event was EVEN BETTER! Mitchell and Marie were wonderful to work with and very responsive to our request (even last minute ones!). They played a variety of classic and current songs and kept our (>200) wedding guests up and dancing all night long. Everyone was raving about them all night. If you have any reservations, don't!1 You won't be disappointed, we weren't!

My wife and I could not be happier with Charisma's performance at our wedding. Marie and the band brought (and maintained) a level of high energy throughout the reception, and performed a wide range of selections that brought guests of all ages to the dance floor. The band is not only incredibly talented, but acted as true professionals throughout the evening, accommodating special requests and making sure that both of us were happy throughout the evening. They were by far the best wedding band I have ever seen in person!

Charisma not only met my expectations but also exceeded them. They were amazing!
They were professional and extremely talented. You can tell by they way the play the music that they are all really passionate about their music.
They had people dancing that I didn't know even know could dance!
They read our guest well and always had people on the dance floor!
I would highly recommend Charisma. And am looking forward to the opportunity to work with them again!

I can't say enough about how amazing this band is. I am a musician, so when we were planning our wedding, my wife put me in charge of music for the reception. I could not believe what I found in this band, at such an affordable price (especially considering what we got)!!
I arranged a medley of three different songs for them to play at the reception, they played it perfectly. I asked to play a song for my wife, they accommodated. I called and emailed excessively because I wanted it to be perfect. I simply cannot express how professional, personal, and friendly they were.
Then on the big night, THEY KILLED!! They knew exactly what to play and when. HIRE THIS BAND!!

Charisma was fantastic from start to finish!!!! We had very high expectations based on listening in on one of their rehearsals, but they managed to surpass them!!! The music selection, variety, and set order was superb, and they had our dance floor completely packed the entire 4-hour reception.
We would absolutely recommend that anyone who wants to wow their guests with fabulous vocal and musical quality, and keep everyone on their feet having constant fun, hire Charisma. Fabulous, fabulous group!!!!!!! They made our event what it was.

Both Marie and Mitch helped tremendously throughout the entire process of planning the music and entertainment for our wedding. Charisma did everything exactly as promised, and kept everyone dancing the entire evening! We just got back from our honeymoon and every person we've touched base with commented on how awesome the band was! Charisma was recommended to us when we were first looking for a wedding band, and we will absolutely continue that trend in recommending them to anyone else looking for a professional, mature, and extremely talented band for their event.

We had the most amazing evening at our son's wedding. Charisma started playing at the ceremony and barely took a break throughout the night. Our the guests never left the dance floor and even called for an encore after what was to be the final song. We had a lot of requests for special customizations and Charisma accommodated every single one. They were easy to work with and incredibly talented. We would highly recommend Charisma. Thank you for helping to make Karissa's and Jonathan's wedding memorable for everyone!

Charisma was perfect for our wedding and reception. Before the ceremony, as guests were being seated and awaiting the start of the ceremony, a few of the band members played a perfect set of songs to set a very pleasant mood. Immediately following the ceremony, during the cocktail hour, another grouping of band members played some great jazz music, much of which was just improvisation, which fit the situation beautifully. After dinner, they really got things going with their great selection of classic rock. Nobody was standing still. One other thing. They did not "steal" the show. They knew they were not there to put on a big flashy show, but to entertain.

Charisma was outstanding! During the planning stage of my daughter's wedding, they guided us through every step and kept in constant communication to ensure that the reception would be perfect. Our guests danced to every song and at some points during the evening, we were afraid our guests would not have time to eat since they did not want to miss a single song on the dance floor. No one wanted the night to end and I highly recommend this talented group of musicians.

My wife and I couldn't have asked for a more amazing performance that we got for our wedding than from Charisma. They were incredible easy to work with, responsive, and helped make our wedding such a unique experience. So many of our guests were on their feet the entire time. We received so many compliments the day after the wedding on how amazing the band was, and several people commented how tired their legs were dancing all night. Thank you Charisma for playing such a large role in one of the best nights of our lives.

Charisma was fantastic and we couldn't have hoped for anything better for our son's wedding of 150. Our guests were up dancing from the time dinner started until the reception ended 4 hours later, something that I have never seen before. The mix of music played was perfect for all ages, their voices top notch and mix of instruments amazing to listen to. They also performed during the wedding ceromony and cocktail hour and were excellent there as well. In summary, I have never attended a wedding with a better band, no question about it.

Charisma was there for us every step of the way and was very professional from start to finish. Marie really was an amazing help with keeping the reception program flowing and our guests attentive to speeches or on the dance floor as appropriate. They did a lovely job playing our ceremony and cocktail hour and brought down the house during our reception. Everyone who attended has complemented the band over and over. We couldn't be more satisfied.
Thank you Charisma!

OUTSTANDING!!!!! Extremely professional and accommodating. Marie has an amazing voice! She was fantastic about working with us, putting together the plan for the wedding, giving suggestions and dealing with issues as they came up. Our wedding was black tie but we didn't want it "stuffy". Charisma was perfect, they looked awesome in black tie and then totally ROCKED! The dance floor was packed from the first song and overflowing during the last. I highly recommend them without any reservation and would hire them again in a heartbeat! They are an absolute pleasure to work with, fantastically talented, professional and reliable. Thanks for everything! Sandra & Gordon

Charisma were fantastic! This is a bunch of musicians who know what they are doing and know how to keep a wedding lively. Charisma sounded great; were very accommodating to my request to have my best friend sing a few numbers (she is a professional musician); and I am still receiving compliments on how fabulous they sounded and how well they kept the dance floor going at our wedding. Mitch and Marie were both great to work with, and I would strongly recommend Charisma to anyone looking for a talented, engaging wedding band with a deep repertoire.
