Thank you for your contribution to our national conference. Your band is excellent and the detail, effort and enthusiasm you put into your performance did not go unnoticed. Our group is still telling us how much they loved your performance and no doubt, when we head back to Wellington in the future, we will be in touch. Please pass on our thanks to the other girls—you helped us celebrate in style.

Thank you for your performnce on Saturday night. The Avidiva show was of a high standard, it was both professional and entertaining. I could tell our Club members were hooked with your format, which is so much more than a band can deliver. Your promo material is also excellent and allowed us to promote your gig in the local paper. This resulted in a good turn-out of members and guests on the night and we enjoyed a full house unil the end of the evening. We will certainly be asking Avidiva back in the future.

Thanks so much for a fantastic performance at the festival. You have a wonderful write-up from our feedback person and I drove past later in the night and there were still a lot of people in the park. I have had several positive comments today also. I do hope you enjoyed your festival experience.

Once again the girls were fantastic. Very professional yet fun to work with and the crowd just love them. Great moves, outfits and they really interact well with the crowd, expecially with the children.

Thank you for making our Christmas function a huge success. There are more than a few sore heads but everyone has made it to work and photos are circulating. Thanks again, we hope you enjoyed it, too.

We had a great night and the girls look Middlemarch by storm. My phone has been red hot with praises for the girls. From all comments they out shined the band on Saturday night.

Thanks for the great entertainment and for helping make the Great Long Lunch the success it was.

Avidiva brought panache to Americarna, complemented by their outfits, a well thought-out set list, great harmonized vocals and a superbly choreographed routine. The Grease set, performed with Shaun Preston, was a favourite and left the crowd wanting more.

I just wanted to thank you and the girls for performing at our Christmas party last week. I know the crowd took a bit to get warmed up, but we got everyone dancing in the end. You guys were awesome and we had a fantastic time.

April 2008
Our Saturday night with the girls was a huge success and the girls were outstanding! They got our crew of 120 dancing from the second track and they never stopped until they had finished. I would highly recommend them to anyone.

I just wanted to let you know how fantastic you all were and that all of the guests are still talking about you. Thank you very much for helping to make our wedding so amazing and unforgettable. We will certainly be recommending you.

We were really impressed with the Avidiva girls’ performance and how well it seemed to suit the members’ lounge. I have personally never seen so many members dancing or even hanging around the lounge post-match. I would like to thank you girls very much for your entertainment, professionalism and being so organized. We look forward to hiring Avidiva again soon.

Avidiva were excellent at the Toops Conference in March 2007. They performed a great range of songs that appealed to our wide cross section of staff. We had great feedback from the staff that the entertainment was the best we had seen for years. We’ve got good memories of them and would recommend them to anyone.

November 2006
Avidiva were hired to perform at our end of year staff function. They were very professional in their appearance and their attitude towards their performance was excellent! From the first song, the crowd were putty in the girls hands; they kept the crowd on the dance floor from song one and they stayed there all night. The song selection was the key to this, with up-beat familiar songs being performed all night! I would strongly recommend Avidiva for any event and wish the girls all the best for the future.

We used AVIDIVA recently for our ball we found them to be a highly professional act, with great costumes and choreography, they had the audience totally involved even singing “Happy Birthday” to one of our staff. They were perky and bright, totally entertaining and professional. We would totally recommend them.

Avidiva exceeded our expectations and were a polished, professional and great act to watch and party to. Their costumes were stunning and kept our male guests very entertained while the females danced happily to their songs! Wonderful band and would definitely use again.
   All our 600 guests thought that they worked really well with the DJ we had, too. Wonderful night, please pass on our feedback, they really made the night and kept everyone up dancing. Thanks again.

Our annual National Conference brings together a “rich tapestry” of people from throughout NZ, from Kaitaia to Invercargill … the girls were “entertainment plus”—they were energetic, interactive and extremely polished performers … The feedback we have had has been, without exception, outstanding. Avidiva has our highest recommendation and we can say they “really hit the mark”.
