DESCRIPTION:
CHARISMA delivers the perfect blend of your favorite music, incorporating professional musicianship and stage presence into a dynamic and engaging performance. Your guests will undoubtedly find our music familiar and entertaining. There is nothing more compelling than live music to make your event successful and memorable!

The musicians in CHARISMA have extensive performing experience. We can easily customize our repertoire to suit your needs, ranging from soft ballads to driving dance music. Members of CHARISMA have diverse musical abilities and can play multiple instruments at a professional level: our lead singer plays flute and percussion, and our saxophonist plays tenor sax, soprano sax, and also piano on certain songs.

CHARISMA can also offer background musical accompaniment to your cocktail hour or wedding ceremony. For example, our guitarist plays classical compositions that add a harp-like ambiance to any formal gathering. Jazz piano for your cocktail hour is also available.

Please be sure to check out our latest sound clips for a sample of our music. In addition to formal functions, CHARISMA regularly appears at informal public venues. Our live performance is undoubtedly the best way to evaluate our entertainment value, so we would encourage you to come and see us play....and don't forget to bring your dancing shoes!

    CLIENT FEEDBACK:  

    Charisma was phenomenal! Before the wedding, Mitchell was so great about giving us suggestions and lists of things to think about (so essential as we weren't sure exactly what we were doing, nor did we have the time to think through all these things ourselves!!). Charisma was very accommodating with our requested songs, and learned/played them beautifully. My husband, being a musician himself, and several very critical musicians in the audience all agreed that Charisma was an "excellent" band - with their sound, energy and overall professionalism. We hope to have other events in the future just to cross paths with them again!

    Charisma was awesome. It was the first time at our Formal that a lot of people hit the dance floor to dance with to the band. I'd recommend them to anyone looking for a live band. Charisma was fabulous and really helped get our formal kicked off on the right foot. They were extremely accomodating and great to work with.

    Charisma was a wonderful group to work with! From my many emails and conversations leading up to the wedding day, from the first dance to the last dance, Charisma was fantastic. Mitch and Cathy were both so easy to work with and made sure all aspects of the ceremony were well coordinated. My only regret was it was such a beautiful evening most of my guest were outside and not inside on the dance floor with me. But as the bride I enjoyed dancing and letting loose with Charisma, and I guess that's all that matters!

    We are so happy we hired Charisma for our wedding reception. They were great to work with, and sounded fantastic, too. Their song choices kept everyone on the dance floor all night--just what we wanted!
