"We had a wonderful party for almost one hundred people by the sea with the Camelia Latinjazz Band as a highlight. They arrived early, set up quickly, were dressed professionally and very delightful to have around. They were very obliging in playing our favorite songs, including many Cuban melodies, and we were very happy with everything they added to our special night. Thank you!" - Victoria D., 2018.
"Camelia Latin Jazz Band was the perfect addition to our Latin-themed cocktail hour on our wedding day. Roderick Camelia was friendly and accommodating during our pre-wedding day correspondence, and the band did a spectacular job creating a beautiful and fun musical ambiance to the cocktail party. My husband and I are grateful we got to dance to the music for a bit in between photos and appetizers! We looked long and hard for a band like this for our cocktail hour, and Camelia Latin Jazz fit exactly what we were looking for. Thank you to Roderick and the band for helping make our wedding day amazing!" - Chelsea W., 2016 (From Weddingwire.com)

"Roderick Camelia is a talented musician and a professional. He showed up well before his performance and stayed after the DJ took over. He played a great set and set the mood perfectly. If you get a chance to see him in and around Boston, check him out. If you like Latin Jazz, his band (three, four or five piece) could be a great fit for your wedding or event. He also does American classics with a Latin touch. Our guests were impressed and we were happy." Anthony B., 2012 (FromWeddingwire).
