Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on June 25, 2023•From Glenview, IL

Arkady is a very talented accordian player, who could take requests from attendees at the party to play polkas and other songs that were Polish, Slovenian, German, Italian, Irish and on and on. People had so much fun with laughter and tears as they had fun in the moment and remembered past times and loved ones. Arkady read the crowd well and supported their energy. It was a great time!

Funeral•Reviewed on February 25, 2023•From Winnetka, IL

James performed a bagpipe set at a memorial for our company founder. James is a real artist and pro. The attendees loved the tunes and the sound of bagpipes playing Amazing Grace. A very moving performance enjoyed by all.

Memorial Service•Reviewed on July 17, 2022•From Batavia, IL

Bagpiper James did a lovely job providing music before and after my husband’s memorial, and at the outdoor luncheon following the service. Our Scottish roots were nicely honored.

Igor was great!! He made our wedding truly memorable with his violin. All my guest raved over his performance. I can't thank you enough for making our day extra special.

Club Event•Reviewed on September 25, 2023•From Gurnee, IL

The purpose of having a bag piper there was for 'atmosphere'. Over the course of 60 minutes contracted, a generous estimate of the time played is maybe 15 minutes, which was disappointing.

Oktoberfest Party•Reviewed on October 17, 2021•From Chicago, IL

Arkady was awesome for my Oktoberfest. Tons of German music on both the Accordion and keyboard. But he can play pretty much anything. Guy was a blast

Andrew the woodwind player did a great job at our gig! And Henry was great at communicating and handling the set up. Would highly recommend them!

Michael our Violinist was fantastic. This is the 2nd year we have used him. He is early, and does a fantastic job!

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on January 15, 2019•From Chicago, IL

Wonderful experience! I had requested special music and they were willing to purchase sheet music and play exactly what I wanted. I would definitely work with this group again!

Private Party•Reviewed on July 18, 2023•From North Aurora, IL

Setting up was fine but I explained I wanted a short parade and musician could not walk, he played 6-7 Songs in 45 minutes

Thank you for your review. During our initial conversation and the details agreed upon in the contract, a parade was not mentioned or discussed with me. Additionally, the musician couldn’t walk because he had hip and knee surgery. If there was any discussion of walking, I would have not agreed to it knowing the musician couldn’t accommodate those terms. I apologize for any inconvenience but there was a miscommunication on what was agreed upon.

Wedding•Reviewed on July 1, 2019•From Evanston, IL

We hired Michael (violinist) and Larisa (cello) for our wedding ceremony. Their performance was amazing, very professional and left us in tears of joy. We loved every song they played! We highly recommend them to anybody who is looking to hire musicians for any event. You will not be disappointed!

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on July 22, 2018•From Grayslake, IL

We had Arkady as the pianist for our ceremony. We had a last minute cancellation and The Internationals and Arkady were happy to help! Arkady did not hesitate at all at our requests that were not in his normal repertoire. We can't thank Arkady and The Internationals enough for helping to make our wedding ceremony perfect!

We hired Akardy the Accordion player. He was very professional, a total sweetheart, and extremely talented! He even took requests and performed them wonderfully. Highly recommend!
