"The Italian Jazz Trio was the perfect band of musicians for our pre-wedding event at Il Salviatino in Florence. They were very easy to work with to schedule and confirm all the details. Everyone enjoyed the music and it really created a fabulous mood for our event. I would highly recommend them. You won’t be disappointed!"
"We loved The Italian Jazz Trio! We had our wedding in Florence, Italy and they were soo wonderful! They were so patient with us trying to select our songs and super accommodating. It took a while for us to decide and they were very understanding. They were on time and reliable. Everything went soo smoothly. We decided to include the sax during dinner and it made it so much more lively during the reception. They were so kind and sweet, and would highly recommend!"
"The Italian Jazz Trio were an absolute pleasure to work with. We had our wedding in Tuscany and they played during our ceremony, and cocktails after. We requested a violinist as an addition during the ceremony; they sent us samples of the songs we requested them to play, as a preview before the wedding. They were lovely, and the music was a great addition that helped create a wonderful atmosphere for our wedding. Thank you, Raphael and band!"
"The Italian Jazz Trio are absolutely amazing! The 4 piece band played at our wedding at Hotel Bramante during our aperitif and they were incredible. The band were very tight, had a lovely expression, and there was a very rich and mellow tone from the saxophone! Raphael was also a dream to work with - extremely communicative, super friendly, and nothing was ever a problem. They even sorted out an amazing DJ for our party at night. Could not recommend the Italian Jazz Trio more highly!"
"The Italian Jazz Trio brought unforgettable magic to our wedding. The trio, saxophonist, and singer blended beautifully, creating an atmosphere full of elegance and warmth. Their music was more than just background—it felt like the heartbeat of the day, setting the perfect tone for every moment. We were moved by their professionalism and the vibrant energy they brought, making our day truly special. We’re deeply grateful for the joy and memories they helped create!"
"We had the band play at our wedding in Sorrento for the Aperitif hour, and I can honestly say they were amazing! We had Nana singing and she was outstanding! All our guest complemented them on how great they were and it sent the tone of our wedding perfectly! Raphael was so professional and was always available when I needed to ask any questions, I highly recommend this band for any event they are top class and so professional 10/10!"
"We were so thrilled to have a live band for our wedding at Il Borro. We saw the great reviews for The Italian Jazz Trio but we and our guests were completely blown away by their repertoire and talent! They even learned our first dance songs, which were admittedly a little obscure. They are such kind people and were flexible with changing the location of their set up from outside on the terrace to inside in the library due to the weather. You will love having this band at your wedding and you will always remember their energy, talent and kindness!"
"A HUGE thank you to the talented Italian Jazz Trio for playing at our wedding at Villa di Ulignano in Tuscany. Raphael also learned three of my favourite piano pieces for the ceremony, which he played beautifully (coming from a pianist). Their jazz repertoire was then the perfect backdrop to our apertivo. We opted to add a saxophonist too, which we loved! Raphael was professional and easy to communicate with from our first enquiry, which immediately put us at ease. Highly recommend."
"We had our wedding at the Belmond Hotel Caruso in Ravello and requested The Italian Jazz Trio play during our cocktail hour and meal. The music sounded beautiful! They played a great mix of old and new which went down brilliantly with the guests, a large number of which were singing along! We had so many compliments about the choice of music! Thank you for making our day so perfect."
"The Italian Jazz Trio were the perfect accompaniment to our wedding. Not only did they learn one of my favourite songs, but also suggested another that made the ceremony superb! The music they played during dinner created an engaging atmosphere ripe with celebration, champagne, and laughter! Many of our guests complimented their performances. Raphael communicated with me promptly by email and made an effort to reach out in the days before the wedding to confirm all the details. He was very flexible and amiable. The price point is a great value for their level of expertise and they are a really lovely group to work with. I would highly recommend their services."
"My husband and I recently got married in Ostuni at Masseria Il Frantoio. When we began looking for music for the reception, jazz was at the top of our list. The Italian Jazz Trio came highly recommended by our wedding planner and after hearing from her that they were able to keep a small intimate wedding dancing all night, I was sold. I love to dance and I was worried about having a smaller wedding we would miss out on that. Not the case at all! They learned the few pieces we wanted to be played for our ceremony and we gave them some suggestions for the reception but left the rest up to them. They did not disappoint! We danced all night- even when it started to rain, they moved under an overhang so that they could continue the party! I highly recommend The Italian Jazz Trio for your wedding or event, I can’t say enough great things about them!!"
"Thank you so much Raphael! The band were amazing and we loved it. We had great feedback. Also it was a pleasure to work with you as you were so accommodating and pleasant. Bravo!!"
"When we got engaged, my now-husband and I said that we wanted a jazz band at our wedding… and ended up having the dreamiest jazz band ever. Our wedding in Tuscany this September was truly the best day! Raphael was amazing to communicate within the lead up to the wedding, super relaxed and took care of everything! They were easy to work with on the day for our wedding co-ordinator and all our guests were in LOVE! We had a small, intimate wedding, and having a jazz band truly set the scene and atmosphere in the most magical way. They are talented, fun, and so kind. They even played our first dance song. Thank you to The Italian Jazz Trio for helping us create some unforgettable memories!"
"The Italian Jazz Trio was incredible. We reached out to them one year in advance and they were completely professional and reliable and fun the entire way through. They joined us at a private villa in Tuscany, just south of Florence. We were initially nervous about booking a band overseas without meeting them first but they made us feel comfortable right away via email. They made our wedding vibe very elegant and fun and they even played the music that my dad requested so he could sing while we danced for the first time as husband and wife. We ABSOLUTELY recommend this band for an elegant, timeless, classy event. They made our wedding so special and memorable."
"We booked The Italian Jazz Trio a year ahead for our wedding in Montalcino in September. The band was so professional and sweet all through our planning, and we didn’t have to worry about anything. At the wedding day, they arrived and just started to play in front of the guest at the reception. Everyone loved it. They were so kind and joyful and were playing for hours with the biggest smile. So romantic and perfect for our wedding. we just sat in the sun, drinking champagne, eating delicious food and listened to real Italian jazz. it couldn’t have been more perfect. So if you want a real Italian mood for your wedding, a professional band and some talented musicians, you have to book The Italian Jazz Trio. We loved it! We wish you all the best."
