Feedback

  • They were absolutely great! They all were very friendly and excellent musicians. I would recommend them and would gladly use them again! -- Adam B, Montgomery, AL, 8/23/2009
  • Let me start by saying 'they where fantastic.' The quality of the music was outstanding. My sister (Hostess of the Event)and I are hard pressed to describe in words how 'spectacular' they where. They where AWESOME. We plan to keep them on our "to Book in the Futur" list. We Love Them! -- Renee B, Columbus, GA, 9/6/2009
  • Could not have had a better performers. Professional, excellent, great and Humble could not close describe these guys. The music was great! They can put an excellent show. It is definately the ultimate to have in any gathering. from 1-10 we give them a 1000000% Great Job guys everyone still talks about you! -- Ruth P, Gainesville, GA, 7/18/2009
  • Madoca and Prince have a beautiful sound and their music was so additive to our rehearsal dinner. They were wonderfully pleasant to work with and followed through on everything they promised. Our only dissappointment was that people toasting the bride and groom talked so long that our time to listen to Madoca and Prince was much less than we'd hoped, but that was certainly not their fault. We've also purchased Madoca's CDs and really love her talent. Again, they are beautiful talented people and we enjoyed them very much. -- Laurie J, Dothan, AL, 3/21/2008
  • Madoca and Prince were very nice and very accommodating. We had several request for info about hiring them. We would definitely use them again. -- Susan G, Gainesville, GA, 11/3/2007
  • Madoca & Co was absolutely wonderful. A wedding is a once in a lifetime opportunity. They communicated with us and responded to our request quickly and efficiently. The are very talented and I would recommend them for any occassion. -- Stephanie T, Atlanta, GA, 5/5/2007
  • Madoca and Prince MADE this party! My guests were thrilled and treated us to some of the most wonderful music -- better than I could have imagined! The song line up was great and these two gave us a fabulous performance! I would recommend them to anyone having a party big or small! -- Mary C, Buford, GA, 12/9/2006
  • They were great for our party. They were extremely flexible with us since our party got rained out initially so we moved the party and music inside. With no hassle they moved inside. Then, the skies cleared and we were able to spend the rest of the party out on our deck. With no hesitation, Madoca and Prince moved their setup to our deck and were instrumental in making our party an absolute success. -- Greg C, Atlanta, GA, 10/19/2006
  • Madoca did a fantastic event for our party and we'd hire them again for another gig. -- Richard E, Atlanta, GA, 12/15/2007
  • Great musicians at a great price. You'll definately be pleased. -- Kim T, Chamblee, GA, 6/13/2009
