Next to marrying my soul mate having this band was the very best part of my wedding reception. Choosing the right vendors for your event can be very difficult, but thanks to our photographer who put us in touch with Char-Mel Entertainment we had the very best band in the world playing for us. Thank you Char-Mel Entertainment for providing all we asked for and more. Thank you Arts Imagery Photography for your recommendation.

Where do I begin? This band is amazing!! It was a last minute booking as our other plans fell through, But they came to our rescue and amazed all those present. Amazing sound, gifted musicians and singers and truly a class act. Since my wedding I've recommended this band 4 times and all 4 have booked them. Thank you so much, I'm forever a fan!!

This band in my opinion is the very best around, they played all kinds of music at my wedding and everyone just absolutely loved them. The band leader Serafin is just amazing to work with and I'm so glad I chose them over the others I was considering. If you're looking for the best.... Look no further!!!

Char-Mel Entertainment's International Festival was the best part of our 50th Wedding Anniversary party. They flew in from New York City to Lafayette California and delivered a smashing party. Our guests were of all ages with diverse musical tastes which they handled brilliantly and everyone raved about them. Our dance floor was always packed and there was a smile on every face. Thank you so much Serafin for making our 50th Anniversary more than we could have ever hoped for.

I don't know where to begin LafiestaBand.com is not just a band, its a group of musical genius' who know what it takes to really make a party successful, They are wizards at reading the crouds. My party was amazing. We almost booked with another band but were invited to a wedding and saw them and we knew we had to have them. Serafin was wonderful to work with and full of charm, he's the best. So if you're looking for a band that can truly play everything and keep your guests dancing into the wee hours of the night contact Char-Mel Entertainment, International Festival, LaFiestaBand make sure you speak with Serafin will have the time of your life .
