Paris and Co

Testimonials

Hi Paris.

You were great. Very professional, and your MC-ing and singing made for a thoroughly enjoyable wedding. Also, it was great having someone that could manage a Greek-Cypriot wedding, provide Greek dancing and songs, as well as the English tunes we love. You even managed to get my family involved in the singing and performing! I can't believe my little brother sang Uptown Funk! We had a wonderful evening and would wholeheartedly recommend you to anyone who asks. Certainly my family has been enquiring for future family events already.

Thank you once again for making our wedding reception so very memorable.

Best wishes, Nicole

Thanks again for all your hard work and making our day complete.

Dear Paris,

Just a quick (belated) note to express our sincere gratitude for your entertaining and thoroughly enjoyable work at our recent wedding. We have been inundated with compliments about your many talents from our families and friends. WOW! What a complete show you delivered for us.

The skill with which you captured the attention of the room and the ‘feel’ of our special day has had an enormous number of our guests commenting that this was the best wedding they’d ever attended! I have one close friend who is thinking of having a party for no particular reason- just so that he can see you in action again!! The entire room singing Sweet Caroline, your interactions with guests, humorous asides and comfortable manner were highlights.

Paris, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts for the preparation, time and effort that you invested in to our amazing day. We’ll cherish the memories of our reception-that you significantly contributed to- for the rest of our lives.

Amanda & James – March 2015, Encore St Kilda Sea Baths

Hello Paris

What can we say? Words cannot express our sincere thanks for taking our wedding celebration to another level with the quality of your performance a few weeks ago.

We had such a great time and know that all our guests were blown away by your level of professionalism and entertainment skill! WOW. What an entertainer! We are still talking about it. So, thank you, thank you, thank you. You made our night AND most of our guests said it was one of the best weddings they’d ever been to, we have no doubt you created that ambience and mood. Our heartfelt gratitude.

Wishing you all the very best for the future. Many thanks

Angela & Romeo Cabai – March 2015, Brown Brothers Winery

Wow! Just a quick note to thank you for the amazing job you did on Monday. Every guest has commented on how great you were, and we have to say the testimonials in that first letter you sent us just do not do you justice! As you can imagine, it is hard to choose an mc and band for the night, and even though we had heard such great things about you, we could never have imagined how good you were going to be! You absolutely made our wedding the best that definitely we had ever been to, and all our guests are saying the same!! Vince (Sorrenti), who is a pretty hard marker was blown away not too mention the 240 guests who said "that the night was fast paced from the very first bounce".

We have given your details to heaps of people so I hope you get to do more functions that we might be at! We would be happy to be added to your testimonial list as a referee. Thanks again Paris, you are a star!

Carolyn & Brad Rawiller – December 2009, Moonee Valley Race Course

Paris performed at our country estate wedding in March 2009. An entirely outdoor event, Paris greeted guests on arrival on the front lawn of the property with a Frank Sinatra style cocktail set. He assisted our MC guiding guests through to the back lawn for the remainder of the evening. His repertoire included (but was not limited to) a mix of rock n’ roll, 80’s, classics and popular current. He kept guests dancing the entire evening. Paris was key to the success of the event. He is an engaging, talented and extremely professional entertainer and his service was not limited to singing and performing. Drawing on his wealth of knowledge and extensive experience he also assisted us in the planning of the evening events and the flow of proceedings on the night.

We would strongly recommend Paris’s services to anyone looking an engaging, diverse and high energy performer who can hit the ground running.

Shona and Alistair Gull – March 2009, Private Residence

When we first heard you sing at a family function, I knew straight away I wanted you to perform at our daughter's wedding. The night of Malinda & Peter’s wedding was a huge success. One would have to experience in person the professional entertainment and jaunty talent that you provided us on the night. You had everyone’s attention from the start to finish, you sang beautifully and the dance floor was always full, and for those who for some reason couldn’t dance, you would see them move to the music in their chairs. Our guests haven’t stopped raving about you and how they enjoyed Malinda and Peter’s wedding. You made everyone have fun and laugh and they all left on a high.

Paris you are in a field of your own. You are simply the best. Thank you ever so much for making Malinda & Peter’s wedding an inspiring occasion. We will not hesitate to recommend you to anyone.

Vince and Sandra Ponte (Parents of the bride) - February 11, 2006 Manor on High, Epping

We would like to thank you SO MUCH for everything you did to make our wedding on Friday September 16th such a success. It was truly the wedding of our dreams and more. From the moment our guests arrived you had them laughing and you continued to captivate their attention throughout the entire evening. Your jokes were very spontaneous, energetic, clever and fun and you created a very happy atmosphere which lasted the whole night. Not only did you excel in entertaining our guests but your voice was also amazing and you always knew the right songs to sing to please every age group & get people dancing including ones who never usually dance!

Our very favourite part about our wedding reception, however, was the way you were able to get everyone to sing including my 90 year-old grandma. She can’t speak a word of English and I cried tears of happiness when I saw her singing “New York New York’! She is so proud of that moment and I’m sure it will be a favourite at future family video nights!

All our guests had a fantastic evening & they have been raving about you ever since. Most saying that it was the best wedding that they had ever been to. We would thoroughly recommend Paris & Co to anyone.

The night has come and gone but the memories will last forever. Thank you once again for being such a big part of the most wonderful night of our life. If we did it all again we wouldn’t change a single thing.

With love, Fiona & Daryl Pitman – September 16, 2005 Ascot House, Ascot Vale

After 15 years in the events industry I have worked with many entertainers, MC's and corporate bands across a wide range of functions and events. During this time I haven't met anyone as versatile and easy to work with than Paris. His flexibility in terms of slotting into MC roles, in prompt performances and creative song writing talents, solo artist performances as well as the backing of a big band is fantastic and highly sort after.

No function is too big or too small; his performance is always at the same consistency and level of professionalism. Paris has performed at Awards dinners for us in front of 900 people in all capacities - MC, Solo performer and with his band, to then a smaller intimate dinner for 60 in regional Victoria. His impact and love of entertaining is always evident.

I have no hesitation in recommending Paris to anyone in the industry. A big thank you both personally and from the wider HIA team for your countless performances, laughs and hard work!
