For our wedding, we relied on Ilenia and the musicians of The Rising Stars. Ilenia was very helpful and present from the first meeting, she was able to advise us and gave us a fantastic day! We chose a 5 piece band and it was a real party! All our guests were delighted with the music, had a blast and danced until the party was over! Ilenia's voice what to say ... wonderful! Thanks for everything!

We had Illy and The Rising Stars (7-people) perform at a big party on lake Como followed by a DJ. Illy was great to deal with prior to the event. She also helped us a find a sound system solution (NC) which did a very good job. On the day, we had to adapt to changing weather conditions at the last minute and the band was very flexible, starting in a smaller formation outside instead of inside as the weather had improved much and then moving back inside in full formation as the sun set. All my guests enjoyed the entire performance as well as that of the DJ who had asked for guidance prior to the event. All in, I highly recommend The Rising Stars…they may be « rising » but in my view they are already « at the top »!

The absolute best wedding band we could have asked for! This team is so kind, easy to work with, professional, and FABULOUS on stage. They played at our wedding, and it was absolutely unforgettable. We couldn't be happier, and we absolutely recommend The Rising Stars for anyone who wants the best!

The Rising Stars were super during our event, starting from the guitar and voice performances that accompanied our ceremony, passing through the live music of the aperitif, up to the dances and the DJ at the end! Professional, prepared, available, pleasant and with a very wide repertoire, they were really fundamental in the success of our wedding. Really recommended!

If you are looking for a band for your wedding you can only choose them! Professionalism together with skill, the perfect combo! Despite the change of date we were looked after and reassured and the service was nothing short of excellent! Thank you guys!
December 2024
Really fantastic! With their music they have managed to involve everyone, from the youngest to the not so young. We danced and sang and the guests complimented me especially for Ilenia's beautiful voice, but also for the skill of the musicians. They were present at all times, but never intrusive. We could not have made a better choice, I recommend them!

We booked The Rising Stars 7 piece band for our wedding day with the string quartet for ceremony/cocktail, and DJ for late night dancing & they were absolutely incredible! All of our guests raved over the music and the party/dancing was so good! The dance floor was filled all night long. They allowed us to customize our playlist and really went above and beyond for our special day. Some of our favourite memories from that day are of us dancing the night away! Thank you!
September 2024
They are great and manage to be in control of every moment, always screaming and filling every moment with grace and unique professionalism with their voice and their music! They are engaging and full of energy! Without a doubt always and only them for a guaranteed result!
June 2024
These guys are phenomenal! We made contact with Ilenia, who immediately showed herself to be kind and helpful. They have a very large repertoire, able to satisfy everyone's tastes. For our wedding we chose the 5-piece and DJ who entertained the whole evening, from the aperitif until after dinner. Thanks guys for the great professionalism and for making our day even more special! We will have chosen you another 1000 times!
