"Wedding band for 2 daughters"

Shimon Walles and his band have provided the music for the weddings of two of my daughters. We were delighted with Shimon's professionalism, eagerness to please and high standard of musicality. His style is collaborative, and it is clear that his goal is to do all he can to enhance the joyousness and atmosphere of the event. Shimon is truly a pleasure to deal with, and I have no hesitation in recommending him. - Susan Boltin


"Blum / Debinksy Wedding"

We have the highest regard for Shimon, both on a professional and on a personal level. From our first meeting, we knew that Shimon would be perfect for our Simcha. As this was the first wedding in both of our families, we were new to the scene and Shimon guided us through the music preparations seamlessly. He was an absolute pleasure to deal with, flexible in allowing us to choose our level of involvement and he possessed up to date knowledge on all the newly-released Jewish songs.

However, what is truly unique about Shimon and what we appreciated above all was his tremendous enthusiasm. Despite having played at countless Smachot in the past, Shimon approached our wedding as though it was his first. He went above and beyond all our expectations. He has a huge, diverse repertoire containing a mix of mainly Jewish, Hebrew and some English songs and he put in many hours to research new songs and develop new sheet music for those we especially wanted. He was also most helpful in assisting us to find an English singer to play for one of the dance brackets, as well as arranging a larger band to enrich the sound, all upon our request.

It is obvious that Shimon is most passionate about his profession. He has a magnificent voice and has a strong presence without being overbearing. He also employs only first-class, well renowned musicians who together, provide a rich and top-quality sound.

There is not a doubt in our minds that Shimon Walles & The Upbeats was the perfect choice for our wedding and we attribute the wonderful atmosphere and liveliness to Shimon and his musicians. We are most grateful that we discovered such an helpful and enthusiastic performer and would most definitely be recommending him to anyone who wants quality, modern Jewish music at their Simcha.

"Wedding 2006"

Shimon and his band performed at our wedding in December 2006.

Shimon worked with us before the wedding and helped us choose a diverse and exciting selection of music to play on the night. Shimon was a pleasure to deal with owing to his professional approach and friendly nature.

Shimon’s beautiful voice ensured emotions were running high during the wedding ceremony and continued to create an exciting atmosphere throughout celebrations at the reception.

We thoroughly enjoyed having Shimon and his band perform at our wedding and recommend his services with the highest regard.
