Review by Missy D.

Wedding Reception•Reviewed on September 10, 2019•From Phippsburg, ME

My wedding was a daytime lunch, with an upscale picnic vibe, so we didn't have any wild, late night dancing. My husband and I just wanted some light, elegant music for our wedding-- something that guests could enjoy, while still enjoying conversation and not having to shout over a loud band. George Farrell Group was a perfect choice! We received so many compliments from guests, family, friends, and the staff of the venue. They arrived on time, had beautiful instruments, and a polished appearance that suited our vibe decor perfectly. George was so polite and attentive throughout the planning process. Highly recommend!

Wedding Reception•Reviewed on January 20, 2015•From Topsfield, MA

George and his group were an incredible addition to our wedding event during the cocktail hour. His band worked with us to select a great playlist and his team is very capable of performing a wide variety of songs. We received many complements on the band from our guests and it really added a nice ambiance to the overall event. I would definitely hire George and his group again.

Wedding•Reviewed on June 17, 2014•From Kennebunkport, ME

We had a number of conference calls with George directly to review a playlist of songs and styles of music that we like and our wishes were completely accommodated. The trio was exceptional and was enjoyed by us and our guests. Most extraordinary is that the trio truly enjoyed playing for us and that the relationship was such that it appeared as if we all had known each other for many years. The performance for us was flawless and comfortable, played with the utmost of professionalism and yet they were all personal and approachable though out the evening. if there were a 6 star rating, we would provide them with this. Bravo.

Hotel Event•Reviewed on September 24, 2013•From Needham, MA

The musicians from George Farrell Group really impressed us and our guests at the Residence Inn by Marriott Boston-Needham's Grand Opening Event. George is very professional and easy to get in contact with throughout the entire process- he was even flexible enough to work with our budget. The band was able to accommodate our small space, and filled the room with lovely jazz music that best suited the occasion. It was just the right volume so that guests were able to mingle and network with each other. I would definitely recommend them and have them play at an event here in the future.

Wedding•Reviewed on July 1, 2013•From Boston, MA

We were VERY pleased by the group George put together and all the little extra attention to details and the thoughts he gave to our wedding. At the last minute he added a saxophone player for an additional hour, knowing that I love the sax. The band was flexible and very professional. Great music, great night! Everybody loved them!

Fundraiser•Reviewed on April 11, 2013•From Andover, MA

The George Farrell Group was a wonderful addition to our yearly fundraiser. The guests loved the upbeat music that they played during our cocktail hour and throughout dinner. The band was very accomodating during the event, and went with the flow when the schedule changed slightly. Great group to work with, and I have already booked a second event with them!

Wedding Reception•Reviewed on July 1, 2012•From Belmont, MA

We were really pleased with the trio's performance at our wedding ceremony and reception. In addition to setting a great tone for our reception, the musicians were especially good in interacting with the children at the event. We had some specific requests for keyboard music during the ceremony, and despite our not having a rehearsal, keyboardist Steve Hunt did a great job making it happen flawlessly. George was very responsive, friendly, and easy to work with throughout. We would recommend them for sure!

Fundraiser•Reviewed on November 30, 2011•From Boston, MA

The New England Clean Energy Council was pleased to have the George Farrell Group play at our 4th Annual Green Tie Gala. George and the group were very accommodating with a tight schedule and secure venue, and we have heard nothing but wonderful feedback for their performance. Thanks again GFG!

Wedding Reception•Reviewed on August 13, 2011•From Walpole, NH

Our guests raved about the George Farrell Trio. They played our requests at the last minute and allowed some of the singers in our wedding to perform with them. They were friendly and fabulous! I'd have loved to have focused just on them for a couple of hours. I hope to have the opportunity to hear them again!

Christmas Party•Reviewed on December 16, 2009•From Boston, MA

We were so pleased with the George Farrell Group! The really made our holiday party a success. Not only were they extremely professional and accommodating, but their sound and music was really perfect for our event. We were not expecting dancing at our corporate event, but I think the guests could simply not help themselves. :-) A wonderful group that we would recommend to anyone! Thanks again to the George Farrell Group1

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on September 20, 2009•From Little Compton, RI

The George Farrell Trio was a fantastic success at my Mother's 75th Birthday Party! They were easy to work with, and made great suggestions regarding the mixture of music that would be festive and appropriate. The music was beautiful - -all the musicians very talented! The guests commented that they loved the group. It added so much to the party! People made requests, children danced, they lowered the music when necessary. My brother and I highly recommend them to all seeking a festive and pleasant group with a great variety of jazz, latin, and brazilian standards and custom songs. They really made the celebration special and memorable.

Wedding•Reviewed on July 7, 2007•From Amherst, MA

I hired the George Farrell Group for my wedding reception and they were fantastic. All three members of the trio were excellent jazz musicians and the music they played was elegant yet lively: perfect for the occasion. They were very accommodating to all my requests and even had no trouble accompanying me when I sang a song for my wife.

Community Event•Reviewed on April 11, 2007•From Cohasset, MA

The Geo. Farrell Group is composed of very talented musicians. Their task for us was not an easy one. They were asked to provide a clinic for our school jazz members as well as perform for the school community in the evening. It takes very outgoing people to deal with the needs of students. The keyboard player was easily able to relate. In the evening, the adult reaction was very, very positive. Some parents thought it was the best performance in our five year jazz event history. We certainly recommend this group to others.
