Giovanni and his band played at one of the weddings I planned for an American couple. They are very kind to work with and were responsible for an AMAZING party! The couple (and everyone else!) was blown away by Anna, the singer, who is a real powerhouse. Giovanni makes everything possible and I would recommend the whole band to all couples looking for a great live band!

We booked The Butterflies for our wedding at Grand Hotel Timeo. Giovanni from the band arranged a chat with us a few days before the event and we discussed our ideas and he was really helpful. On the day, the band were professional and really entertaining, they got everyone dancing! FixTheMusic made the booking process easy and smooth.

The Butterflies played for my EPIC 50th birthday party at Villa Aranjaya and they were AWESOME! From start to finish: they were responsive, easy to work with, on time, low maintenance, and put on a GREAT show. We danced the night away and it was an event to remember! Highly recommend!

Dear Juliet and Keshan,
Reading your words truly moved us — thank you from the bottom of our hearts for such a wonderful review. 💖
It was an absolute honor for me, Giovanni Alì, and for all of us in The Butterflies, to be part of such a meaningful celebration and to share those unforgettable moments with you, your families, and your friends. Preparing two different performances for your wedding weekend was not just a challenge, but a beautiful journey we embraced with joy, knowing how important it was to create the right atmosphere for each occasion.
Learning and performing your wedding dance songs was a particularly special moment for us — we knew how much it meant to you, and being able to deliver those melodies with all the love and care possible was our way of adding a unique touch to your story. Seeing your smiles and emotions while dancing will stay with us forever. ✨
Your kindness, openness, and trust throughout the entire process made everything so much easier and inspiring. The communication we shared was smooth and genuine, allowing us to shape every detail together and ensure that your wedding was exactly as you had envisioned it.
We are so happy to hear that our music, energy, and connection with your guests created the magic you hoped for. For us, nothing is more rewarding than seeing people dancing, singing along, and feeling united through music. 🎶💃🕺
Thank you once again for choosing us and for allowing us to be part of one of the most important chapters of your lives. We will always remember your wedding with great affection and joy, and we sincerely hope to see you again in the future — perhaps to celebrate other milestones together.
With all our gratitude and warmest wishes,
Giovanni & The Butterflies

The Butterflies were absolutely amazing for our wedding in Marsala, Sicily. They very kindly agreed to perform an extended set, entirely in English, and all our guests commented on how great they sounded. They helped to make our special day perfect. Would highly recommend! The saxophonist was also unbelievable.

Thank you so much for your wonderful words! 🦋
We were truly honored to be part of your wedding in beautiful Marsala. It was a joy performing for such an amazing couple and a fantastic group of guests. We're so glad you enjoyed the music—and yes, our saxophonist is something special!
Wishing you both a lifetime of love, music, and unforgettable memories.
Warmest regards,
The Butterflies
Just perfect, highly recommended. I have to say I couldn't have asked for anything better. They accepted all my requests, and I am more than satisfied. Everything was perfect, both in terms of communication with the manager (we are delighted to have met such helpful and exquisite people), and the guys in the band, who still receive compliments from my guests. A fairytale day crowned by excellent music, shared with friends and relatives. A heartfelt thanks to everyone.

We had The Butterflies for our wedding in Sicily and they were absolutely amazing! They contacted me before the wedding to make sure they understood what type of music I wanted playing and on the day they were just so perfect. They even learnt new songs to play. I wanted a mixture of English and traditional Sicilian music and they delivered including learning a John Legend song I wanted for my first dance. The band and the singer were brilliant and clearly very skilled and talented at what they do. They provided music throughout the day including the reception, the first dance, the dance with the parents and thereafter. They were so good and had everyone dancing! Amongst this they were all so kind, warm and friendly and I couldn't believe how much they went above and beyond their responsibilities as the band for the wedding helping with other things that I needed such as a violinist, DJ and even the flowers and celebrant. It's clear that they love weddings and a beautiful touch was the fact they seemed to really want to be a part of it. They spent time watching the ceremony and after the wedding I received some really lovely photos and footage they had taken of the wedding. I couldn't thank them enough for making my wedding so wonderful! Thank you The Butterflies, you were so so amazing!

We highly recommend the guys from The Butterflies who helped make our wedding day magical, elegant and at the same time cheerful. They fulfilled our every request and were up to making us excited and entertained with their music and their voices. Giulia, with her kindness and positive attitude, was always present. From the beginning, she helped us with the choice of songs and accompanied us until the end of the party, allowing us to enjoy the evening peacefully! Thanks and congratulations to all of you!

I love good music that evokes special moments and memories. No words were needed with them - they understood our desires very quickly. We thank the manager Giulia infinitely, whose sweetness is unmatched. We thank Ali for his great professionalism and all the members of the band, from the musicians to the voices, for making us have fun, sing and dance with the great class that distinguishes them. We will always carry you in our hearts.
