• The Tavares Trio / Quintet was outstanding. Very professional, arrived on time, did a wonderful job! I could not have been more pleased. Thank you. Cyndy Forsyth Huntington Society of Canada -- Cyndy F, Toronto, ON, 2/25/2012
• A big thank you to Fernando and this team at Tavares Jazz Trio for making our corporate event a wonderful night. They were very professional, had high quality equipment and a great selection of music that was reflective of the nature of the event. Would thoroughly recommend for anyone having any type of event. Thanks! -- Sandra R, Toronto, ON, 6/16/2011
• They played our 50 person wedding last night and were wonderful. It's tough to get a small group up and enjoying themselves, but they had everyone on their feet dancing through the night - people couldn't resist. The jazz undertones for the cocktail hour and dinner, upbeat rock and ballads for dancing - and just overall willingness to work with us made things just great. What a great day - everyone loved them and their sound. You will not go wrong hiring Fernando and his group to cover your entire wedding / event. Thank you for helping to make it such a wonderful day. Dave and Linea. -- David M, Pickering, ON, 7/25/2010
• Wow, the Tavares Jazz Trio was outstanding. We hired them for our daughter's wedding reception at the Liberty Grand Entertainment Complex and they were everything we hoped they would be. We asked them if they could include a female jazz singer to the trio, and they added Liz who was just amazing. All of our guests commented on how they enjoyed the music. Fernando and his musicians are very talented. I hope we get the chance to meet up with them again sometime! Thanks so very very much! -- Karen D, Toronto, ON, 8/16/2008
