Reviews and Kudos
"The power of voices harmonizing into one intense sound fills the
room with an energy that is difficult to understand and impossible to
explain. They sing as one
and the result is a remarkable display
of a cappella four-part harmony."
Karl Turner, Syracuse Newspapers
"I ordered a Singing Valentine for my parents in Syracuse from your
website and they were just thrilled. They are 86 and 88 years old and
living alone.
One of the remaining pleasures in my Dad's life is listening to good
music. They couldn't stop telling me about all those women singing so
beautifully
and looking so nice. You certainly brightened their day. I am so glad
I thought about doing it. Thank you for a special treat."
Elaine Macrillo, after receiving a Singing Valentine for her parents
"Jason, Baby Haiden and I were so very happy with your performance
today in our home. My fiance, Jason's, 'Loving Holiday' was truly blessed
this year! And ALL of YOU put the icing on the cake! Thank you so much
for all your hard work, time and absolute wonderful talent! We appreciated
all of it! It was so beautiful!"
Jennifer Costa, after receiving a Singing Valentine
"Just a quick note to say thanks. My wife was completely surprised.
The staff at Jowonio also appreciated the 'show.' I will recommend your
service to anyone who asks."
Jerry Carges, after receiving a Singing Valentine for his wife

enjoyed it, as did I."
