I hired Private Affair Band for my 40th clean, & Sober Birthday Celebration! From my first conversation with Robert Rivers, and his wife Angie I knew I was in good hands! The day of the event went off with out a hitch! It was amazing every single musician not to mention the lead singer were incredible??We couldn’t have asked for any better! Guest’s that said they wouldn’t dance were on the dance floor most of the night??I would like to thank every single one of you for making my night so amazingly special !

We hired Laura Serrafine to perform at a surprise 50th birthday party for my wife, and she completely exceeded every expectation.
From the moment she arrived, Laura was warm, gracious, and genuinely invested in making the night special. She has an incredible voice, but what truly sets her apart is the way she connects with people. Her performance felt deeply personal — like she was singing directly to my wife — while still captivating everyone in the room.
There were tears, laughter, and more compliments than I could count throughout the night. Guests are still talking about it. Laura didn’t just sing a few songs — she created a moment that made the entire evening unforgettable.
If you are considering hiring Laura for a private event, celebration, or special occasion, do it. She brings extraordinary talent, professionalism, and heart to what she does.
Thank you, Laura, for making my wife’s 50th birthday something we will never forget.

Kira was so easy to work with and super flexible! She was so kind and understanding. The reason why I booked her in the first place was obviously her amazing talents and she definitely lived up to the hype! She has an amazing voice and did a heartfelt sing-a-gram that my friends will never forget! Thank you so much Kira!!

Working with Nika on "Ghosts of the Past" was genuinely one of the highlights of this project. From the very first take it was clear she wasn't just going to deliver vocals — she was going to make the track her own, and she absolutely did. The lead performance has real soul and presence, exactly what the song needed.
What really stood out though was what she brought to the backing vocals. I gave her some direction and she went so far beyond it that I honestly had to step back and just appreciate it. That kind of creative initiative is rare and it made a meaningful difference to the final sound.
The recordings were great quality, zero drama. Just a total professional who also happens to be a really creative collaborator. Would work with her again in a heartbeat.
