"The Sapphire Swing played at my 40th birthday in Monaco for 3 hours (two 90-minute sets). They helped create an amazing vibe — it truly felt like being transported to the Italian Riviera of the 1950s. The singer is excellent, as are the other musicians — perfect for an intimate setting. They were very professional, punctual, and extremely helpful with song selections. I strongly recommend them if you want to create a beautiful experience for your guests."
"The Sapphire Swing band played at our wedding at Castello di Montegufoni, Tuscany. The communication was excellent and very professional from day one, when I found them on the web, coming up with suggestions and new ideas for both the ceremony, the reception and the wedding party itself. The Sapphire Swing was EMINENT! We were approximately 90 people at the wedding party and every single guest has commented on the choice of band and choice of music. The band has a very varied repertoire- from classical violin & guitar, to full-blown dance swing songs for an awesome afterparty, with bass, clarinet, violin & saxophone. I HIGHLY recommend them - and wish we could do it all over again - just to hear them play one more time. THANK YOU, Christian & Camilla."
"What can I say, precise, professional, and punctual! They gave us some excellent moments of musical entertainment that were truly out of the ordinary. Highly recommended!"
"I saw The Sapphire Swing live last month and was genuinely impressed. They’re tight, musical, and clearly listen to each other! They were also perfectly on time and very polite throughout! Professional in the best sense."
