• YeraSon helped to make our wedding unique and special, one that our guest will never forget. We hired the 10 piece orquesta and all of the performers were such a pleasure to deal with. we couldn't have imagined having that type of entertainment at our wedding. The whole day worked out to be better than a dream and they played an important role. Our guest, the staff and the other vendors kept asking us where we found that band and that they had never seen such talented musicians before, never mind at a wedding. You will watch in awe of their skills on each instrument and be forced to dance at your best whether you know how to dance or not. -- Michael S, Port Jefferson Station, NY, 1/17/2010

• I have seen Yrving and his orchestra Yerason play at the various Havana Central restaurants in the city, I hired his 8-member orchestra to perform at our wedding reception, and they were phenomenal. They setup before my event, were punctual, and very professional. Yrving accomodated his two sets to the changes of my last minute changes during my wedding reception. And the sound was out of this world, his virtuoso violin performance along with his trumpets and percusions, etc, just perfect, perfect! I am more than satisfied having Yrving and his orchestra Yerason play at my wedding. -- Jose M, Brooklyn, NY, 6/13/2009
• YeraSon provided outstanding and energetic music that just lifted dancers onto their feet all night! For my best friends wedding gift, I offered the entertainment.
