“BEST WEDDING MUSICIAN EVER!!!!
We cannot thank Ikechi enough for his performance at our intimate wedding in Philly! He was absolutely wonderful to work with - and even went so far as to learn a few new songs specifically for us to make our wedding day extra special. He created an absolutely unforgettable environment from the moment he started playing, and perfectly dictated the mood of our ceremony/cocktail hour with a progressive mix of chill, lively, and dancey vibes. It would be a massive mistake not to hire him - we truly cannot recommend him highly enough and will even try to convince some of our friends to hire him so we get to see him again!”
“Book Him! I had the pleasure of working with Ikechi for our Mother’s Day brunch at The Philadelphia Marriott Downtown, and he was nothing short of amazing! Not only is he genuinely talented he was amazing with our guests and left everyone wanting more after every song. Truly spectacular and memorable.”
“Ikechi Onyenaka and his jazz band performed at my Grandfather’s Celebration of Life last Saturday. Their performance was better than I could imagine. From the incredible & vast song selection to the extraordinary skill each musician showed. They were the highlight of the day and my grandfather would’ve loved to hear them play! The music they played filled the room with such joy and high spirits. They honored my grandfather’s life the right way and it was beautiful to see it. By the end of the event they received so much praise and everyone wanted to hire them for their next event. I know for sure I will be hiring them for my next major event that I host. To Ikechi and his band, thank you so much for putting on such an amazing show in honor of my grandfather, it made the day perfect!”
“Ikechi was the perfect musical addition at our birthday dinner! From the moment he started playing, he set the tone for an unforgettable night. His talent is absolutely undeniable and added so much life to our event. Beyond the music, he was an absolute professional: punctual, communicative, and incredibly accommodating. He even provided us with a microphone, helped capture moments with photos, and stayed an extra hour beyond our agreed timeframe just to keep the party going and ensure our guest had a fabulous time. He didn’t just perform; he became part of the celebration. If you’re looking to add something truly special to your event, Ikechi is the ONE! I can’t wait to book him again!”
“I had the extreme pleasure of helping coordinate Ikechi Onyenaka’s performance of the national anthem as part of Franklin University’s Jan. 5, 2025, commencement ceremony. His pre-event and day of collaboration to ensure a smooth and successful performance were incredibly professional and helped deliver a moving performance. In fact, his performance was so moving that the entire auditorium erupted into applause at the conclusion of his performance. He definitely created a memorable component to the ceremony.”
