We hired Nova Sounds Entertainment for my husband’s 50th birthday celebration and they were fantastic! We couldn't have been happier with our choice.

From the beginning, Alan was so professional and attentive. He really took the time to understand what we were looking for and made everything run smoothly.

They were amazing on the night of the event, bringing so much energy and positivity. Everyone had a great time! Their lead singer, Sonia, was a powerhouse. What an incredible voice! All of our guests were impressed, and we received so many compliments.

A huge thank you to Alan, Sonia, and the entire group for being such a big part of making the evening so special. We would absolutely recommend Nova Sounds Entertainment to anyone looking for great entertainment for their event!

I had the pleasure of working with Alan and his team at a wedding a few weeks ago. Their music is exceptional and they had everyone on their feet dancing all through the night. They have a great vibe and are really quite easy to work with. Highly recommend!

I'm soooo glad we picked Nova Sounds for the music at our wedding!!! We had their string quartet for our ceremony and the cocktail hour, then the Nova Sounds band for dinner, and then the band and their TruVibe DJ did the whole rest of the night for the dancing. WOW--they were all perfect! The string quartet was just beautiful and they played exactly what we asked for. then the band took over and played just the right songs and mood for dinner. And it wasn't too loud, so everyone could still talk. Then the band and their DJ did an AMAZING job for the dance, perfect mix of oldies and favourite hits, just like we asked for, and they actually managed to get everyone up and dancing and feel included--even my grandparents! I'll never forget it! Alan, the guy who runs the whole show, was really super-easy to deal with. Do I recommend them? Absolutely!!

I first heard Nova Sound at my golf club ( Mississaugua) on a Friday night in August and was very impressed…in fact of all the groups that have played on a Friday night on the patio I felt that this one was far and away the best that I have heard.
So… I engaged them to play at the opening reception of my firm’s annual Symposium in Niagara on the Lake and they did not disappoint.
The sound, style, sophistication and overall music was and is absolutely first class and thus I have highly recommend that the club retain the band plus their exceptional vocalist Sonya for the 2027 patio season as well as any events held at the club where first class music would be an added benefit.
Bottom line….they are a very talented group who deserve a ten star recommendation.
