Rouge

I cannot say enough good things about Janet and her ensemble - they are consummate professionals who make beautiful music together. Rouge is a French Cabaret ensemble, lead by Janet - the vocalist; she is accompanied by a guitarist, fiddler, pianist/accordionist, and bass player. For our wedding they played many old jazz standards as well as a wonderful mix of French Cabaret. Near the end of the evening they even played, by request, a tarantella for my Greek in-laws to dance. It was a smashing good time. Rouge's pianist also played our processional and recessional and during the cocktail hour. Plus, the cost was extremely reasonable. We booked more than a year in advance, due to getting married near to the July 4th weekend and because the vocalist is also a stilt walker and often has festivals to attend around holiday weekends. Janet gets only an "A" for responsiveness due to the artistic way in which she lives... she prefers to use the telephone, over email... but doesn't always return calls right away. Nevertheless, Rouge was worth every penny and I'm glad they were the first vendor we booked.
