"The Cocktail Shakers wooed the crowd at our 2010 season kick off at the Toronto International Film Festival BELL LIGHTBOX. Not only did they envelope the crowd with their smooth, sultry jazz standards and contemporary classics but they managed to lure Kevin Spacey, Jon Lovitz and Kelly Preston to join in and bask in their music. As day chair for TIFF event and as Assistant Education Chair of the Young Presidents' Organization, Upper Canada Chapter, I will most definitely be putting The Cocktail Shakers on my preferred entertainment list for future events."

"The Cocktail Shakers were a highlight at my company's 2010 Holiday party. With over 200 guests in attendance, this professional trio performed songs from jazz legends like Ella Fitzgerald to pop stars like The Beatles to the excellent R&B sounds of Smokey Robinson. I am looking forward to hiring them for my next function."

"The Cocktail Shakers performed at a corporate event for our clients. They were, simply put - absolutely stunning. Their classic jazz sound, serenaded and transported us to a time gone-by. The Cocktail Shakers set the ambiance for a magical evening."

"The Cocktail Shakers were the perfect accompaniment for our speakeasy - themed Blissdom Canada event! Susan is an amazing singer and added so much heart and sexiness to the party. I think everyone felt like they had gone back in time. I would book those guys again in a second!"

"From their melodic and playful sound to their hip and swank presence, The Cocktail Shakers are sure to make any event one to reminisce over. Susan's golden voice will stop your guests in their tracks with wonderment and appreciation."

"...I have shared a stage with Susan at a number of different venues. She has a phenomenal ear for harmony, and her ability to engage and maintain the attention of an audience is an invaluable trait in a vocalist...."
