Hi Robyn,
Thanks for your email.
Jafa were very good. Our guests danced the night away. If I wasn't so
busy talking to people and mingling, I would have done more dancing
myself.

Hi Kellie,
Jafa was amazing...everyone was amazed by them. They were definitely a highlight of the night. It was God's blessing that we found them and I would highly recommend them to anyone who wanted to have a duo for their function. They are professional and their voice are great :)
Thanks heaps Pete for being so helpful.
Kind regards,

Jafa were superb and a pleasure to be part of our day. They were very accomodating and worked with us on selecting the music. Their performance was great and everyone enjoyed the music.

Hi Kellie

Jafa, Steve and John WOW-ed the KEA team. The music and vocals were just outstanding! We enjoyed some background music during dinner and later… yes, they got us up and we danced the night away. THEY ROCK!!! I was amazed by the wide variety of music they had on their play list and they certainly tuned in with us and had the right songs to keep us going. Thanks for making our Christmas Party a highlight!

Cheers

Wishing you all the best for the Festive Season.

To whom it may concern,

Jafa performed at our wedding at the end of Feb 2009. We found them easy to deal with in the busy lead-up to the wedding, very encouraging, well equipped and professional – querying the venue’s facilities, number and age group of guests etc so as to come fully prepared for the event. They also were more than willing to travel the 1hour to our venue.

They were extremely punctual on the day – arriving a good couple hours ahead of their scheduled start time, and very responsive to email questions and queries. They also did not object that their scheduled set was delayed some time due to the speeches.

Most importantly however they are amazingly talented! They played a wide variety of music over the three hours they were there, with minimal breaks between sets. They were also more than willing to learn a song not on their play list for our first dance, and performed it above expectation – truely a moment to remember!

We would have no hesitation recommending Jafa to anyone with an up-coming function as they are very approachable, well presented, punctual and extremely good at what they do!

Thanks Steve and John for making our reception unforgettable and absolutely the party we wanted to end our special day!

Regards
Joanne & Mike Chalkley (26 Feb09)

Sorry about the delay in replying - we had an amazing wedding day and Jafa were absolutely fabulous!! They were ready and on time however the speaches went on slightly but the delay in starting time did not bother them. The majority of our guests danced the night away and we all had a great time!!
Thanks again
Regards

I had Jaffa play at my wedding function. Throughout the build up to the
day, set up on the day, arrival on the night and most importantly
performance on the night (Jaffa) where absolute professionals.
Both my wife and myself where extremely happy with the performance
provided by Jaffa. They played the songs we where after and interacted
well with the crowd.
I would not hesitate in recommending Jaffa to anyone.
Cheers
