The band was great. I wished we could have partied with them all night. I recommend
them to any wedding. They were perfect for our carefree, fun wedding.

Gigi Thigpen and Jazz Entertainment is the go-to presenting organization in the Triangle area,
if not in all of North Carolina. Her contacts are diverse and multi-layered – my organization
needed a children’s preschool educator/entertainer and Gigi knew how to engage her network and reach out to exactly
the type of exceptional talent we required. She turned around our request in a matter of days, critical to our particular
need and we were able to make an immediate match. We were fortunate indeed to have this resource.

Gigi,
I wanted to write you a nice note to let you know how much I appreciated working with
you on my most recent event at the Cardinal Club. As an event planner in the Raleigh area I was thrilled to use your services. The entertainment
you offer is outstanding. It was joy to work with the EG Peters band last Friday night at the Cardinal Club. The band played
a wide variety of music and was a crowd pleaser.
I will most definitely use the services of Jazz Entertainment with my future events.
It will be a great comfort knowing my clients are receiving first rate entertainment. There are no worries with Jazz Entertainment
on my preferred vendor list.
Thanks so much Gigi for the quick responses!

Gigi,
Thank you for sending us the Eddie Thigpen Trio. Our attendees weren’t expecting live
entertainment and it was great to see their faces light up when they came into the reception area. Eddie and the guys
are incredible musicians, their music was lively and upbeat, and it made our event feel very, very uptown. They also
are lucky to have such a great agent!

My thanks to Jazz Entertainment for yet another well-executed event. I've
lost count of all the events you've booked for us--but this one was the best! Thanks for making this event painless. From
selecting the band--and they were a hit with everyone--to the actual performance the booking couldn't have gone smoother.
Also, thanks for all the follow up. You helped us stay on track with this gig. You're the best.

Dear Gigi,
WOW ! Little did I know that when I got the ED Thigpen trio to play for my daughters wedding reception
that they would amaze the attendees as they did. Some of our guests even moved their chairs into concert formation
on the lawn and grooved to Jazz as it was meant to be played by artists that clearly were enjoying what they were doing.
The bride was thrilled and her new in-laws from Michigan were quite impressed. I continue to get compliments
on our Jazz themed Saturday evening lawn party.
Thanks again for helping to make our event truly unforgettable.

Gigi, thank you, everything went well. The dinner setup was great and the library in the Bull Durham
Lounge at Washington Duke Inn was nice too. Please tell the guys thanks for sharing their talent with us.

Dear Gigi,
Thank you so much for your help providing the entertainment for my sister’s
40th birthday party! Jazz Entertainment was fantastic to work with! You listened to what we wanted to create
for the party, and delivered outstanding talent with the Carter Minor Quartet!
You alleviated the stress associated with event planning by being completely professional, knowledgeable, and approachable! I highly recommend Jazz Entertainment to anyone planning a special event!
