Arjana and Ivan are the best. To this day, I STILL have wedding guests who compliment their music - Arjana's voice is lovely! And I really appreciated how they collaborated with us to find the best music to reflect our couple. The whole experience was easy, inspiring and fun (and really, what else could you ask for when planning a wedding?)

Arjana and Ivan made my wedding so incredibly special!! Arjana's rendition of "At Last" had me and my guests in tears. She has an incredible presence and is so kind and easy to work with. After speaking to her, I had complete confidence that my cocktail hour would be a success and I wasn't disappointed! Multiple guests came up to me after the wedding and told me how much they enjoyed the music. I would HIGHLY recommend them for any event!

Very few performers have the "IT" factor. Arjana and Ivan have "IT". Even more impressive is their versatility. They can mesmerize a crowd with a New York style jazz set that gives you goose bumps. They are personable and great performers. We would love to see them perform again. Anyone who has them perform at their event will enjoy it!

We were on a 14 day Carnival cruise with Arjana and Ivan where they performed each evening. We don't normally care for jazz but both my wife and I immediately liked the way Arjana and Ivan took popular songs and set them to their own jazz style. We made a point to listen to them every evening and slowly got to know them by talking to them during breaks. They are both very personable and fun to talk to.

We got a double dose of Arjana during the second half of the cruise after the rock band's lead singer had to leave because of illness and Arjana took over the position. We were stunned and amazed at her rock repertoire and her incredible range of talent. (Including the electric violin.) Her cover of "Bobbie McGee" was my favorite of all time!

We also got to see Ivan play the piano solo several times. He is so talented! We loved sitting in the lounge and listening to him play.

We were on the cruise 14 days and watched about 20 performances of Arjana and Ivan. We cruise a lot and by far they are the best we've ever heard on a cruise! We are hoping to link up with them again soon!

From motown to 70's/80's pop, rock and dance, this duo knows how to get a crowd on its feet and have a GREAT time. Very few performers have the "it" factor. Arjana and Ivan have "it". Even more impressive is their versatility. They can mesmerize a crowd with a New York style jazz set that gives you goose bumps. They are personable and great performers!

I saw Arjana & Ivan during a cruise to Alaska. They performed during the cocktail hour daily and I made a special effort to enjoy their music daily. They are sort of a combination of jazz, pop, and saloon entertainers. They perform classics and contemporary music in their own uniquely arranged fashion. I loved both them and their performances. As people, they are personable and gregarious and ready for easy conversation; they are "nice" people. As musicians, Arjana's voice was mellifluous yet driving with excellent range and Ivan's keyboard work was classic highest-end jazz accompaniment. As if that were not enough, Arjana also plays a “mean” violin. Although I am certain that either can deliver prime-time entertainment individually, together they are just plain fabulous. As a duo, they compliment one another as well as the music being rendered. I was so impressed I not only purchased their CD for me, but also several copies as gifts. If you have the opportunity to see them or hire them, I can't recommend them more whole-heartedly. Their music and presence are a gift that must be experienced to be truly appreciated. As I said earlier, I loved them.

Arjana and Ivan performed for an intimate cocktail party at my house for family and friends. Their musicianship and professionalism was very inspiring and entertaining, and everyone thoroughly enjoyed their performance. They were fantastic to work with and very accomodating to our requests.

It is hard to properly describe Arjana and Ivan because I don't know any other duo like them.

Ivan is amazing. his prowess on the keyboard is of the highest level, his repertoire is without par. He is just as comfortable playing classical, pop, or rock. You only need to watch his intensity to immediately realize he is no second-rate lounge musician. This is a guy who is a student of his art and a master of his craft. Yet, he is never satisfied and continues to hone his skills and enrich his musical knowledge. The good news for you is that you can be assured he will give you his very best--and smile.

Arjana, by herself, can also give a you a wide gamut of songs and styles. She has the pipes to belt out rock 'n' roll and pour a smooth glass of bossa nova. As if that weren't enough, she also plays the violin. She can use those strings to cheer you up or kill you softly. It all depends on what song you ask her to sing. As good as she is alone, she reaches another level when paired with Ivan. They define the term "musical chemistry". Watch and listen. Is she singing lead and he's accompanying? Or is he playing the melody and she's just enhancing the tune. Hard to tell.

What is not hard is listening, swaying, and grooving with Arjana and Ivan. They are fabulous, a class act. If I had the means, i would hire them to play for me every Sunday morning--or for cocktails every evening.
