• WOW! There's no other word to use to describe all that CArlo Music has done for us on our wedding day to make it unforgettable besides WOW! Cidade was very professional with their presentation, and they even played the two of the most unforgettable renditions of LIKE A PRAYER ever at both our wedding ceremony and reception. In fact, the entire Red Barn was full of electricity and excitement when they sang and played music throughout the night. Many of our guests were so impressed by the talent on display and the dynamic energy of the entire band that they hope to someday hire Cidade for their events! We agree 110% and can't wait to see them again! ":) -- Vanphouthon S, Amherst, MA, 9/26/2009
• Charlie and his crew were a joy to work with, over the phone and in person. I didn't worry about a thing at any stage of the gig. As soon as the dance floor opened up, people danced all night. We even had a bunch of Cidade's CDs available to the guests and they were all gone by the end of the night. Thanks Charlie and Cidade - What a wonderful gift peace of mind is and my family and friends are sure to be fans for life! -- Katie R, Williamstown, MA, 10/10/2009
• My wedding was 4 weeks away and the band that we initially had lined up backed out. I was pulling my hair out-thinking I would never be able to a band. I came across this website, filled out the information that was asked and that afternoon when I got home from work, I recevied a wonderful phone call from Charlie! After speaking with him, I knew he was the "one". I hired CArlo Music based on our conversation and after hearing the clips of music via this website and myspace. Needless to say Charlie was EXCELLENT TO WORK WITH & VERY EASY GOING, EXTREMLY PROFESSIONAL AND THE MUSIC WAS BEAUTIFUL! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND CArlo MUSIC! Thank you Charlie. - Lisa -- Lisa G, South Windsor, CT, 5/25/2008
• The quartet was prompt, pleasant and easy to work with. They couteously accommodated last minute changes and moved their instruments outside for the outdoor ceremony and then had to go back inside the reception hall. The quality of their music was outstanding. Many guests told me that the music was exceptional. I would highly recommend Carlo Music Management without the slightest hesitation. Alina O.

• We had a great experience with Carlo Music! We had a violin/cello combination for our outdoor wedding. Amy was very easy to work with and easily reachable by cell and email. We had a special request song and she was able to accomadate us without issue. I left the other music choose to Amy and heard great things from the guests. Thanks! -- Valerie B, Hingham, MA, 6/1/2008
• They were excellent, far exceeded my expectations and they were a great hit for my husband's 70th birthday party where there was a great array of guests from all the country as well as Europe -- Louise W, Little Compton, RI, 9/13/2008
• The band’s professionalism went far above and beyond what we expected and any requests we had were accommodated. Charlie sounded wonderful as did the rest of his band. They put themselves right in tune with the mood of our reception and improved upon it. We definitely will recommend them and will have them back again. We were extremely satisfied and were lucky to have them play at our event. -- George R, New York City, NY, 11/17/2011
