Wedding Supplier Review: Tales of Music

Tales of Music of Bojo Luzentales provides music from duo, trio, quartet to full band set up for any event. They have top rated pianists, violinists, percussionist, guitarists, flutists and singers. In fact, during the reception, we found out that one of the guys performs with the Philippine Philharmonic Orchestra.

We called them up and turned out that Bojo is very easy to deal with.  We went and listened to them perform (the undying Canon in D, what else?), reviewed their repertoire, and selected songs. They have a pretty comprehensive repertoire and they were willing to practice songs not on the list. In no time at all, we closed the deal.

On the wedding day, they arrived on time and in neat barongs that matched the requested attire. Most importantly they were able to play all the songs we requested very well. And what’s more, they were even able to do excellent vocals for a surprise song.

I have just one very minor issue:  I requested for a string quartet and they agreed. But on the wedding day, they arrived with a keyboard :P Still, the music ended up very nice. Like I said, it was a very minor issue.

Cost: P13,000 for a quartet plus P3,000 out of town fee
