Thank you so much Heather! They (SunnyRose Jazz) did a great job - so sweet, great music and so professional! I will definitely keep them in mind for other events.
Malene Lembke Kniep, Denmark House (August, 2010)

Thank you very much for your assistance with this event - it all went smoothly and the ladies (Carnival) were great! It has been a pleasure working with you and we'll definitely continue to do so when other opportunities arise.
May Hooi, The Mint Organisation (August, 2010)

I wanted to pass on our grateful thanks to you for all of your efforts for our event at The NGV last night. It was a HUGE success! In terms of entertainment, it was nothing short of spectacular (Nilusha Baeder, Judith Dodsworth, Lachlan Redd and Soli Duo)! We have had some lovely feedback regarding the event, and the Vice Chancellor herself was simply delighted! I have to say that from the start of the process right through you have been an amazing assistance to Trevor and myself! The talent selected were fantastic, all performances realised the vision Trevor had for the evening. The performers were extremely professional, friendly and accommodating of time changes etc. In terms of the actual performances, they were amazing! Judith’s performance was truly a standout!! The Vice Chancellor was so pleased with the entertainment. Heather, you are a true professional and I am already looking forward to the next events we can work on together!
Tracey Mahoney, Senior Corporate Events Officer, Deakin University (July, 2010)

Just wanted to say thank you once again and to give you some feedback about SunnyRose Jazz Trio. The guys did a fantastic job here today, we’ve had some excellent feedback! I know the staff members from the Australian food and wine company were loving it out there today thanks to the lovely trio. Thanks once again for all your help and assistance.
Karina D'Agostino, Jones Lang LaSalle (June, 2010) 

Thanks so much to Allegro Music! The Faculty of Science booked SunnyRose Jazz for our 2010 Dean's Award ceremony. Their wonderful jazz created the convivial atmosphere which we were seeking and were very friendly to deal with. I would not hesitate to use them again and would recommend them to anyone.
Natalie Pestana, University of Melbourne (May, 2010)

Thank you! The band (5pce) was great fun! We danced till we dropped and everyone, including me, was very impressed with the band. Thanks for being so quick to reply to my 'cry for help'.  We had a fabulous time.
Leah Nichles, Private Birthday Party (May, 2010)

You couldn't have done anything better! All the customer service which I experienced before, during and after the event was exceptional! I was thoroughly pleased. The gentlemen from SunnyRose Jazz were dressed very cleanly and professionally and their performance was outstanding!  
Emma Lohan, Westfield (April, 2010) 

DAVID (Dean's Martini) WAS ON FIRE! He had me laughing with his lines, mostly unscripted!! His interplay with the "birthday boys", guests and children at the function was hilarious! Perfect demographics for his style, I've not seen him ad libbing like this before.  
Jeff Stellar, Sound Engineer, Peter Rowland Private Event (Feb, 2010)

Thank you very much to David (Dean's Martini) for a wonderful performance on Saturday.  It was a tough crowd – and, for the record, the little monsters who unsuccessfully tried to upstage 'Dean' were someone else’s children! My father said it was ”the best night of his entire life”. I had a number of enquiries about the act will happily pass on Allegro’s details to anyone that asks!
Dean Jones, Father's 70th Birthday (February, 2010)

Saturday night was fantastic, having all the different artists on site was great (Amber Daly, Mona Lisa, Tony Bramwell)! I wish we could have had them there longer! We were very impressed with all of them. We have had such wonderful feedback on the whole night, so thanks for playing such a major part. Amber's painting looks fantastic on our orange wall…all the staff have raved about it, so that is a big hit, also from the point of view that they were part of the night and it is a great memory. I will definitely be in touch for the next event.
Jann Higgs, Simplot (December, 2009)

Thank you so much for your help last minute! Kimba (Swingin' Both Ways) was fantastic, we were all really happy with the entertainment, she did a great job! We will definitely use you guys again.
John Murphy, Prime Creative (December, 2009)

A quick email to say a big thank you! The night went off very well and we have had great feedback regarding the entertainment (DJ Ryan, Models, Casino Tables)! I wouldn’t hesitate to use your services again.
Megan Jackson, VeriSign (December, 2009)

The entertainment on Friday night (Kate Ceberano, King Armadillo and DJ Ryan) was absolutely fantastic and Rohan (CEO) and I could not have been happier. This of course is due to the great work that you (Heather) and Jacqueline put into our event and we could not thank you enough. You are an absolute pleasure to work with and I am looking forward to working with you again. The CD signed from Kate is a very special Christmas gift and one that I will remember always.
Lynn Callow, Australian Unity (December, 2009)

Thank you so much for everything, Easily Suede were great and you guys are really good to deal with. The customer service ethic in your business is exceptional.
Nick Diggens, Lotus Doors (November, 2009)

The performers were absolutely fantastic and went above and beyond to make the event successful. The Calligraphers still had a small queue at the end of the event and despite the fact that it was time for them to leave they stayed and attended to everyone in the queue. The ribbon dancer/plate spinner too was amazing and she really got the guests involved in trying to spin the plates and have a go. We were extrememely impressed with every aspect of their performances. Thank you very much!
Amy Baird, AIA Australia (November, 2009)

Our event was really lovely and Bahia were terrific! They really were perfect for the event, and even though it was a chilly and very early Sunday morning, they had people up and dancing over breakfast! Thank you so much for organising the band, and for making the process so easy for us from a booking and production perspective. Please also pass on my thanks to Joe and his musicians - a couple of them stayed on to enjoy the exhibition after the gig which was lovely. I thanked them all at the time, but it would be great if you can let them know we were absolutely delighted and have had terrific feedback from the guests. I'll look forward to working with Allegro again, Jacqueline!
Helen Carroll Fairhall, Wesfarmers (August, 2009)

Many thanks for your help leading up to the Brand’s Laira dinner — from all accounts it was a wonderful success and the performances of both Judith and Lachlan were very in line with the brand positioning and created a lovely atmosphere on the night.
Simone Bannister, McWilliam's Wines (June, 2009)

DJ Alex Jack was fantastic - he kept everyone on the dance floor all night, both young middle aged and old!!! The music he played was great and there were many comments from the guests on how good he was. We would certainly recommend him and use Alex again.
Mike Harding, 60th birthday celebration, East Melbourne (May, 2009)

"I would like to thank you so much for recommending Brian Nankervis. What an amazing person and guest speaker! Brian was a true professional from the moment he arrived. He engaged with everyone he met, nothing was too much trouble, a photo here, a handshake there... His speech was pitch perfect - he had 1500 people eating out of his hand! Working with yourself and Brian was such a pleasure because you both made it so easy!"
Kirrily Davis, NMIT (May, 2009)

"The Orlando Trio were simply terrific! Apart from being a lovely bunch of fellows, their music was divine and they certainly added a touch of class to our event. They were an excellent choice.

Anything that could have been done better? Can't think of a single thing! Tipster Ray Huxley and Sue Murgo were spot on, very happy! Thank you again for everything Heather."

"Please pass on my thanks and congratulations to the John Harkins Trio for their fantastic entertainment last night.

We would love to work with them again in the future."
McWilliam's Wines (July, 2008)

"They were brilliant! The function could not have turned out better and The Great Chefs of Europe certainly made the event even more special. I'm just sorry that I didn't get a chance to speak to them and thank them personally. Please pass on my best wishes to the band and if we ever require entertainment again they will be a the top of my list. I had freedom of choice and could have chosen anyone to play at the function. I am just so glad that I chose the Great Chefs of Europe. Thanks again."

Englehart Homes (December, 2007)

"We were very happy with the music on Saturday night (DJ Alex Jack)- there were lots of people on the dance floor with their shoes off so that's always a good sign. I particularly enjoyed the bongo drums (Neda) - they really added something! We will think of you when next we have a function."
