Feedback

  • It was a pleasure working with Close Harmony as they were extremely organized and professional in preparing and executing their musical talents. The band is composed of a very talented and seasoned group of musicians and vocalists who aim to captivate and engage their audience from the first song. They staged a wonderfully exciting and upbeat ambiance for our event. Guests ranged in age from 20-77 and all were entertained with their musical prowess. Every single band member contributed 200% in making our party a roaring success. We are in the middle of planning an End of Summer party for which we will again retain their impeccable entertainment services. -- Jackie S, Aliso Viejo, CA, 7/10/2011
  • Close Harmony is a great band, actually they are not a band they are a great orchestra. They had 9 people playing & a leed singer (Margo) whom is very pleasant to work with & they were very professional. If anyone is looking for a an orchestra to play swing, big band & jazz they are the ones you want to get for your event. -- Mayra H, Whittier, CA, 12/31/2011
