"Joanna- I cannot tell you how happy I was with your beautiful music. I still remember so vividly standing at the top of the stairs with my dad and was delightfully surprised to hear you playing the song that I originally liked. I can't thank you enough - it was perfect! We also received so many compliments on the music and how it set the tone for our ceremony. Thank you so much from the bottom of our hearts."

"It was a pleasure working with Joanna and sharing our big day with her! We really enjoyed the sitar music in the background and I have heard from several of our guests how beautiful it was to have the sitar music playing throughout the entire ceremony. The music was exactly what we imagined!<br> She showed genuine excitement for our wedding and that made working with her so much more fun. She is an exceptional artist and her passion for music shines through. We also greatly appreciated her willingness to learn a new song for our ceremony."

"Joanna Mack played Sitar at our Son’s wedding at ICC, on Oct 26th 2013. She played so well North Indian Classical music which was so soothing and all our guests enjoyed her Performance. She is very professional, friendly and very good in communications. She is an excellent sitar player. I do not think twice to call her again to any of our future functions and also recommend her to all my friends.<br> Thank you and good luck Joanna Mack"

"When planning any event, most of us ultimately have to decide which elements of the occasion deserve more attention than others. For me, it was being able to have live Indian classical music as part of my wedding day. Music is an important element to my existence and I could not have imagined a wedding day without the beautiful sounds of a sitar. How lucky I was to have found Joanna. She was a pleasure to meet from our first phone conversation. She offered an added bonus, a lovely tabla player, to her performance. I know that many of my guests familiar with the sitar where in absolute awe to have the opportunity to listen to a gifted sitar player, and those who had never heard of the instrument and music were forever touched. It was certainly one of the highlights for me and my guests during the wedding. Joanna's performance added a beautiful and special element to a very special day."

"Joanna performed as part of a trio during our wedding reception. We had an Indian-Scottish fusion, and having Joanna and her fellow musicians perform was just wonderful. The music was beautiful, but what we appreciated the most was that they learned a special song just for the event - it was the song that my mother in law was singing forty years ago when she met my father in law. My in laws were completely surprised and so touched by the performance - it bought tears to their eyes and they still talk about it as one of the highlights of the day. Joanna and her team were very professional and courteous to work with; we cannot thank them or recommend them highly enough."

"We have had the pleasure of enjoying the sitar playing of Joanna Mack on several occasions.  She is a consummate performer and has always delivered beautiful, amazing and enriching music to our events.  I give her the highest recommendation, and would not hesitate to engage her for future events and performances!"

"My San Francisco Music Booking Agency has had many occasions to engage the services of Ms. Mack for various client functions in the last several years. Dealing with a wide range of performers in my business I would have to say that this artist is a perfect delight to work with, responsive to phone calls, attentive to details at the job site, and invariably earning a very positive response from guests and most importantly the client themselves. She and her musical associates observe very professional standards indeed. My only disappointment are the times I call when she is already booked!"

"We were very pleased to have Joanna Mack perform at our wedding reception in the Women's Building in the Mission District of San Francisco back in 2008.  Joanna had the good suggestion to add tabla and sarod players to accompany her sitar playing.  We spent a wonderful summer in India in the year prior to our wedding, so having Indian classical music at our reception was a personal detail that made the occasion all the more memorable.  Joanna was professional and courteous (and flexible!) throughout the planning of the event up through the performance. We highly recommend her."
