Charisma Reviews

Charisma was phenomenal! I don't even know how to put their performance into words. Our guests danced from the first song played and wanted to hear more after the last song of the evening. Our guests said our wedding was the best they ever attended; and that had a lot to do with the music. I was hesitant to hire a live band and it was the best thing I could have ever done. Hiring Charisma for your wedding is the best decision you can make!

Ben and I had a formal wedding with a reception at a small country club in Newtown, CT. Charisma came through with every request! They played all the songs we requested and even the digitalized reproduction of Edelweiss for our first dance, a waltz that we had practiced before. It was seamless! The leadership (Marie with music, Mitch with business) was complete and easy. I was a bride with attention to detail but willing to allow each vendor who earned their worth to run with the planning. This band really hits the mark!

From the Classical Guitar as backgrounjd at the cocktail party to the last song of the evening, one word describes Charisma best, "EXCELLENT". The dance floor was full all night. There was a good mix of songs which pleased both young and old. Charisma contributed greatly to making my daughter's wedding a party to remember.

Charisma was exceptional... Their professionalism and talent is obvious from the planning phase to the wedding day. Charisma had everyone dancing and made the evening that much more special and fun. We would happily recommend them to anyone.

Charisma was a big part of our wedding being so much fun! Forget the DJs, go with this band!!!

Everyone at the wedding reception loved Charisma!

Charisma was phenomenal! Before the wedding, Mitchell was so great about giving us suggestions and lists of things to think about (so essential as we weren't sure exactly what we were doing, nor did we have the time to think through all these things ourselves!!). Charisma was very accommodating with our requested songs, and learned/played them beautifully. My husband, being a musician himself, and several very critical musicians in the audience all agreed that Charisma was an "excellent" band - with their sound, energy and overall professionalism. We hope to have other events in the future just to cross paths with them again!

Charisma was definitely the right choice for our wedding and were very professional throughout the process. They learned 3 new songs for us (including our wedding song) and sang them beautifully. Our guests have been raving about the variety of music and the band's enthusiasm. The dance floor was full of our friends and family all night!!

Charisma was awesome. It was the first time at our Formal that a lot of people hit the dance floor to dance with to the band. I'd recommend them to anyone looking for a live band. Charisma was fabulous and really helped get our formal kicked off on the right foot. They were extremely accomodating and great to work with.

Charisma was a wonderful group to work with! From my many emails and conversations leading up to the wedding day, from the first dance to the last dance, Charisma was fantastic. Mitch and Cathy were both so easy to work with and made sure all aspects of the ceremony were well coordinated. My only regret was it was such a beautiful evening most of my guest were outside and not inside on the dance floor with me. But as the bride I enjoyed dancing and letting loose with Charisma, and I guess that's all that matters!

Excellent band, very professional. Read the crowd well...played excellent covers. I got a lot of compliments. My only complaint was that they didn't play long enough (our fault...too many speeches). Thanks for a great night! -Lindsay & Conor

We are so happy we hired Charisma for our wedding reception. They were great to work with, and sounded fantastic, too. Their song choices kept everyone on the dance floor all night--just what we wanted!

Chrisma recently played at our wedding which took plasce at our home. Our guests took the dance floor from the first song played and wanted to hear more after the last song of the evening. Our guests said our wedding was the best they ever attended; Chrisma contributed to making the event an over the top evening! The art of a great wedding is to have a great party and every member of Chrisma contributed to the wedding so that it was a total blast! Kathy is a tremendous female lead singer. The band did all the intros and wedding coordinations perfectly and played several great sets of music! People didn't want the evening to end, nor did we. We want to give Charisma the highest possible referrence; if you would like more comments from us directly, please ask Mitch to provide you with our home number and we will tell you how great this band really was at our very special event!!!!

This Email was sent to CHARISMA: Hello Kathy! I wanted to thank you and Charisma for the amazing job you did at our wedding. I can not tell you the number of people who complimented us on our band choice. We had an awesome night, and you guys were a big part of that!! I returned to the tent at one point in the night and saw almost all of our guests crammed onto the dance floor... what a great feeling for a bride who wanted her wedding to be a big party!!! Everyone was having a blast! We could tell that you guys put so much effort into learning our first dance song. Nathan is a huge Oasis fan, and even he thought it sounded almost exactly like the original. We loved every minute! You've Got a Friend was terrific as well, what a memory! Thank you so much for your hard work and talent!!! When you get a chance, please send me a few of your contact cards. I have a few friends and collegues that I would love to recommend Charisma to. Thanks again!!

The band was great. We could not have been more pleased with how the reception diner went. They helped accommodate the timing on a song for the first dance. The music was great and people were still on the dance floor when the restaurant closed. I definitely recommend Charisma to anyone looking for a great sounding band with impeccable professionalism.

What can I say? Charisma made my wedding. My father said it was the best band he’s heard in over thirty years. My professional musician friend asked me where I found such a tight band. Charisma played music for everyone from my eighty year old grandma, to my eighteen year old cousin, and everybody danced! Weeks prior to the wedding, the band learned several songs I requested for them to play, and they played them better then any versions I’ve ever heard before. The lead vocalists were right on for ever song. Very impressive! Worth every penny, and I even felt as if I underpaid them because everybody at my wedding said the music made the afternoon (I thought it would have been that I was getting married! Oh well.) Not even to mention their rendition of Jeff Buckley’s Hallelujah, WOW! Which they played for the bride’s walk down the isle! Beautiful! Mitch, the band’s spoke person who I was in contact with months and months before the wedding, was very professional and very easy to deal with and extremely accommodating. Even days before the wedding, my wife was making changes to the lay out of the proceedings, and Mitch was very easy to contact and made sure every change was taken care of and in the end carried out to a flawless perfection. I’m going to have Charisma play at any of my future engagements without a doubt! And, if you’re looking for top-notch, professional, and on-the-ball entertainers, I think you should too! You’ll be very happy!

Charisma rocked the house! We were nervous since we had a wide range of ages included in our party (over 300 guests), but Charisma played something for everyone. The dance floor was packed throughout the evening. Our weather this summer has been exceedingly hot and humid, and in spite of the fact that we were outside under a tent, Charisma was cool, calm, and collected! They looked sharp in their formal-wear (tuxedoes and cocktail dress); their attire fit the bill to a "T". Bottom line: Charisma is a great party band, their versatility is amazing, their sound is great--we highly recommend!

This is a Great Band, performed at our Daughters Wedding, everyone had a Fabulous time. Dance floor was full all throuout. They are very professional yet very personable. They sound great. We would love to have an occasion to use them again soon.

Mitch and the band (Charisma) could not have been more accomodating. they arrived ahead of time, set up quickly and established a great rapport with the crowd. I've never heard more raves about a band. The pacing was perfect, the joint was jumping, everyone was on their feet. I would highly recommend Charisma for almost any kind of partying crowd. We loved them!

Charisma was fabulous, everyone loved the band and the songs they played. We danced the whole night. I would highly recommend Charisma and plan to use them again for other parties. My friends and family wanted to know how I found such a great band...I told them on the web, www.gigmasters!

They were excellant. I intend to hire them again for my next party.

It was our 40th anniversary which was treated as a "New Wedding". We had the best food and drink, and in our family and friends, which the age group was from 5 to 88, ALL the results of the compliments that I received, were in the selection of the band that I hired for this event. The food was great, the open bar was great, but what did I get as a compliment; the band. Wow I have a musical family that loves to dance. So do I. It was spectacular, that I had been given the approval from my family and friends for hiring such a great group of musicians as the "CHARISMA". The frosting on the cake was good, but the "frosting on my cake", to my lovely bride was the arrangemement put together for me and her, was priceless. Our first dance. Sung and written, just for us. I was sorry I did not record it. It was SPECIAL to us.

Charisma was very open to frequent contact several weeks leading up to the event which helped immensely in last minute vendor crunches. They were available by phone and email on a regular basis. They worked well with our coordinator and provided suggestions along the way that we had not considered. They read the crowd well, allowed speakers to finish their thoughts, and really knew how to take us from touching speeches into kick-it-up music. Many guests commented on how great they were. They really resonated with my crowd. Thank you!!
