Thanks for following up with us. The wedding went great and we were so happy with the music. I actually just filled out a survey at the knot.com and gave very high marks for Panache Entertainment. One of the things that we both thought was so cool was that the musicians were so young, yet very talented and extremely professional. The music selections were great, we went with something very classic for the ceremony and chose Coldplay's "Viva la Vida" for the recessional and it was a hit! We are still getting comments from our guests about how much they loved the string quartet. Also, your website makes it so easy to make selections, and it can be done over time, there was no pressure to hurry and pick songs. Everything about the process was perfect. I can't express enough how happy we were, thank you for providing great entertainment! |

We were very happy with Panache Entertainment and our wedding band, The Projects. Finding the right entertainment was one of our top priorities. We wanted live music, but not the typical "wedding band" that plays the same music at every wedding and toots on loud horns. We were invited to listen to The Projects play and from the first set we knew they would be perfect. During the night, our guests made comments like "where did you find the band", they did an unbelievable job and was the best live entertainment from the song selection, the performance, to their presentation. The group was so eclectic, each person brought their own style and genre which made for a great song mix and brought everyone to the dance floor. People mentioned after the wedding they wish they had a cd of all of the music from the night because it was so good. Guests also commented on how the band was not too loud and that they were able to converse and sit back and enjoy the music. They really made the night, and we couldn't be happier!!

Panache provided excellent musicians for both the our wedding ceremony and the reception that took place at the Royal Park Hotel in Rochester, MI.
They came recommended and we found them to be very professional --- with outstanding musicians. We requested them not to play any traditional wedding music, and challenged Jonas to find a pianist that specialized in Chopin for specific processional/recessional songs. He was happy to work with us, and it turned out to be exactly what we wanted....and more.
For the reception, we chose a jazz quartet. We took their suggestion to add a vocalist, and it was a great decision... They arranged the evening so that the music progressively got more festive, and our guests really responded well. EVERY guest made comments about the music and we feel that the music made the reception....
I was concerned about the cost of having such a great performance, but found the prices to be moderate and Panache willing to keep in line with my budget.
I highly recommend working with Jonas at Panache and his musicians --- they know their business and the wedding environment well --- and will coordinate the music running from ceremony to reception --top to bottom without a glitch. And for me, it was necessary to have efficient and responsive planning as I was living out of state. |

We chose Panache for our ceremony and cocktail hour music based on the recommendation of our wedding planner. We were very pleased with their service--booking was very easy, as was filling out the online order form indicating what we'd like played. We had to do little other than browse online for songs, indicate what the cues were for song changes, and send a couple of checks. They were in touch when they needed paperwork or payment from us, and I received a call the day before from a member of the quartet confirming the performance. They arrived on time, and while I was so nervous I don't remember hearing my song ('Here Comes the Sun' - a custom request) as I walked down the aisle, everyone said that it was played beautifully and that they did a wonderful job. We're very pleased with our choice, and would recommend them to our friends. |

Panache Entertainment did a fantastic job. They were extremely professional with their conduct and apparel. Each member of Panache dressed in a nice black outfit that looked very sophisticated. The quality of the music was beyond what I could have ever imagined! They were incredible! I cannot say enough about Panache. The songs they performed, they played with perfection. We chose to have a string quartet and it set the mood of our wedding. Romance was definitely in the air. I walked down the aisle to Canon in "D" and it was PERFECT! We had a lot of compliments on the quartet and their performance. I would book Panache again! Thank you for making my wedding special! |

I hired a violin/piano duo to perform my ceremony music. Their performance was absolutely beautiful. The prelude music almost made me cry several times before the ceremony even started, and the ceremony music was perfect.
Jonas and Nikki were very helpful in planning the music before the ceremony and everything worked out wonderfully. I definitely recommend Panache! |

Our ceremony music was Awesome. We chose to have some of our favorite, most meaningful contemporary songs instrumentalized (sp?). So many people commented on our unique music selections. We were able to use songs that we love and still have that classic wedding sound. It was great! I would recommend Panache to all my friends. In addition sounding great they were also wonderful to work with. My husband and I live in Alaska, but were getting married in Michigan. We were able to plan everything over the phone and email. Overall Great experience! |

We hired a harp and flute duo for our ceremony music. The music was absolutely beautiful and i'm so glad we chose the harp. I don't think anyone would have noticed if the flute was missing, though. They were reasonably priced, and Jonas was great to work with. |

We had a guitar and cello combo. This group can learn any combo or song. We had fairly traditional music during our ceremony, although we had the some Broadway favorites played beforehand. We couldn’t hear the music played prior to the ceremony because we were getting ready, but the rest was beautiful and the guests loved it! |

Jonas at Panache was great to work with from the very beginning. He was always calling and emailing to check in on things, and he was a huge help when it came to choosing our songs to be played during the ceremony. I didn’t even see the harpist and flutist at the wedding, but from what I could hear and what guests told me, they sounded great! |

Magnificent! We did a string quartet for our ceremony, and a pianist for our reception. Fantastic musicians! Highly recommended! |

We did a string quartet for our ceremony and everything was perfect!! They even took the time to learn a special song for us as well. I have to admit, it was weird not having met the musicians (nor hear them) prior to our ceremony, but Jonas did offer us samples to hear. I guess the weird thing to me was not hearing the exact four musicians that would play at my ceremony... but everything went off perfectly anyway!! =) Five stars, without a doubt!! |

“As
a bride, there is certainly plenty to be concerned with. It
was wonderful to not have to worry about my musicians. Panache
eased my mind due to their experience and professionalism. Their
performance was top notch and gave my ceremony that
extra special touch. They even accompanied my aunt and they
didn’t even need extra time to practice with her. I’m
still hearing rave reviews from my guests!”

"People remember two things about a wedding: music and
food. At my wedding, everyone remembered Panache’s
music. They were very accommodating to play our requests
and not only suggested additional pieces but choreographed the
sequence of our music-centered wedding. The ceremony and reception
was wonderful." |

“I had one song in mind that would make my wedding extra
special for me. Panache accommodated my request by learning
and arranging my music and when my bridal party walked down
the aisle and I heard my song I couldn’t believe how wonderful
everything was. Prior to the wedding Panache was very
easy to get ahold of, fast to respond, and very professional.
I was 100% satisfied.” |

Many of our guests had a background in music, and they all enjoyed
it, as did guests of all ages. They added a touch of
class and gave us beautiful memories that we will never forget.
I highly recommend Panache for their professionalism, expertise
and the incredible convenience to us.” |

“We've had Panache's string quartets and jazz trios perform
at several of our events here at the University of Michigan.
Their audition process makes sure that our guests always
enjoy first class performances while our consultant
ensures that the musicians are either students or graduates
of the University, as we specifically request.” |

“A DJ was just not the right atmosphere
we were looking for at our '75 high school reunion. After
looking through Panache's wide collection, we decided
that a guitar-piano duet would be an intimate and perfect
choice to play our favorite 70's tunes. The musicians
delivered a great, professional performance that was a
hit with all of our guests.” |
