Matrimonio Italiano

The Directors have had over 35 years of experience performing at all types of events and the privilege of entertaining many different communities and ethnicities .
One question posed and rightfully a common concern to any new client is, for example: "Do you play Italian Music or Jewish Music...". Ethnic music plays a huge role in any ethnic type wedding. The Directors have an already existing repertoire and large variety of Italian, Jewish and Spanish music and are constantly learning new languages to accommodate their clients. Next on the list, Arabic and Armenian.
...........................................................................

The Directors performed at an Italian wedding which took place on September 6th, at Reception Hall Buffet Roma.

Pina and Alfonso....AUGURI!!!

It was an evening with lots of food, great people and good times.

The Directors did not fail to dazzle.

In fact, there was one guest there that evening, who could not seem to keep away from the band. Some think he might even be the next big music mogul to come from Canada since Montreal's own DKD.

Ladies and Gentleman , with a few more years to go before he's the next big thing in show business.....

Massimo!

The Directors would like to thank Buffet Roma.

To Pina and Alfonso we wish to you Auguri , all the best and hope that you had just as good a time as we did.

Sincerely,

The Directors

"Tock" about a great wedding

The Directors have no doubt had a busy summer. Being one of the top choice bands in the city is no small feat. Labor day weekend left many of The Directors with sleep deprivation and the only time found left to rest was between cocktail and ceremony on August 31st.

Most people don't realize the amount of energy it takes to perform at an event.
A much deserved power nap between two back to back high energy shows.....

As they say, no rest for the wicked...
Once energized, The Directors were back on their feet to entertain the next audience that awaited them.
.........................................................................

Sam and Elizabeth were full of energy on August 31st and married on the most popular weekend of the year.
At Shaar Zion Synagogue they signed "the ketubah" and made it official.

DID YOU KNOW? In the Jewish religion that the "signing of the Ketubah" is a binding legal document, one which catalogs a husband’s obligations to his wife, and makes provisions for her protection in the event of divorce or her husband’s death. It is a religious analogue to the contemporary pre-nuptial agreement of secular civil law.
For more on this click here.

Even before setting foot down that traditional aisle the couple had already been pronounced man and wife.

Mazel Tov!

And yet another Jewish tradition ...The hora.....

The Directors hora is like no other. Let's just say you'd better be in good shape.

Joining The Directors onstage that evening for a surprise special performance was a lovely young girl by the name of Robin Schiller.

NICE JOB ROBIN !!

A few other traditional events from the night were:

The Mezinka
(The giving away of the last child to be married.)


The Garter....
A tradition held up by most newly married couples.

The cutting of the Cake

After all the traditional and emotional moments , guests were ready to get down!

The Directors had no problems with that.

Unfortunately it is always comes to that time when the night draws to a close.

Needless to say that The Directors got some much needed good rest at the end of the weekend.

We would like wish Sam, Elizabeth and their families a heartfelt felt Mazel Tov.
Also thank you to Manny and his capable staff at Shaar Zion synagogue who always does a fantastic job accommodating The Directors.We look forward to working with you soon .

Note: For those of you about to celebrate a Kosher wedding of your own, searching for a great selection of kosher alcoholic beverages and bar service for all and any of your occasions?

Keep on rocking in Ottawa

August 30th, 2008, The Directors headed to Ottawa.
Marcello and Dana ' hit the jackpot ' at the Hilton Lac-Leamay in Gatineau, Qc.

The evening began with fun and games organized by the best man and maid of honor which provided for some good laughs. Guests were eager to participate.

After the meal, The Directors took to the stage with a non-stop 2 hour full variety set that took the dance floor by storm.

Some chose to join The Directors onstage....

As usual, musically, there was something for everyone to get into...


Even the bride and groom were rocking and rolling till the wee hours of the Ottawa morning.

Let's just say that this Ottawa crowd knew how to party... and that they did!

The Directors would like to thank Marcello and his beautiful bride, Dana. We look forward to rocking and rolling with you the next time we're in Ottawa.

Sincerely,

The Directors.
