Exceptional Client Feedback:

​​

"One word. Fabulous. Elaine has performed at the concluding banquet for a sustainability and energy summer program that UIC threw at the Crystal Gardens at Navy Pier for five years running. Elaine sounded as wonderful by the end of the three-hour event as she did at the beginning. Her style, choice of music (I gave her complete reign to pick whatever she wanted), and stage presence were simply wonderful. The members of her band were also phenomenal musicians, and she could not have put together a better team. Elaine is not only EXTREMELY talented but wonderful to work with. She was flexible in all things business and music-related, and her sparkling personality made her a memorable addition to the banquet. She was consistently doted over by attendees as one of the top reasons the evening was so successful. TRULY A TREAT."

- Thomas Lipsmeyer, Program Coordinator, UIC Energy Initiative

“The Elaine Dame Trio performed for our 2018 Gatsby-themed Speakeasy fundraiser. They came highly recommended to me after having performed at a friend's wedding. Elaine did not disappoint. Her talent, style, and selection of music greatly added to our evening and made for a wonderful, successful event. If you are looking for a great talent that will enhance your event I would highly recommend Elaine Dame. She’s FANTASTIC!”

“Elaine and her band were simply amazing! Excellent performance and highly professional from introduction to execution. Elaine and her band came highly recommended for corporate events. She was exceptionally accommodating as we requested her performance match our Speakeasy event performing Gatsby-era music which the band delivered beyond expectation. Our thanks to Elaine and her talented band for making our hospitality event highly memorable!”

"We are honored to have had you perform at our fundraising event for the last two years! Your support and extra effort made the event so special. You and your band were fantastic! Our guests and attendees have greatly enjoyed your performances, especially the "sponsor song" you so effortlessly composed. Your talent and style are unmatched and your presence has helped us produce a beautiful and special evening!"

- Jeff Souva and Jim Bennett, Midwest Organizers, Lambda Legal Fundraising Event
 

“I booked Elaine Dame and her quartet for a high-profile corporate client event and am so glad I did. A perfect fit from beginning to end. She was exactly what the client was expecting. Her music always lights up the venue yet Elaine and the wonderfully talented musicians she works with understand that with many corporate functions the client wants to be subtly entertained while they do business and not have to compete with the music on stage. She is easy to work with, always professional, and really listens to the clients’ needs from music style to the purpose of the evening whether it’s a wedding or a networking event. I will continue to highly recommend her to a variety of clients.”

- Shannon Broderick, Director of Operations, Black Orchid Supper Club

“From the first moment I met Elaine, I found her to be warm, vivacious, and incredibly talented. She was very flexible when we had some last-minute changes and was nothing but enthusiastic every step of the way. We’ll definitely bring Elaine back for future corporate event entertainment!”

- Sherry Kaye, Marketing Director, Hafele Corporation of America

“Having heard Elaine Dame perform at a few other corporate events, I knew that when the opportunity arose, I’d love to have her at mine. Elaine added just the right touch of elegant sophistication that helped transform our event from a night out into a ‘night to remember.’ And, how did she know to sing my favorite standard, ‘The Nearness of You,’ just at the right moment? She’s a magical performer!”

- Anthony Hogan, Chicago Corporate Event Planner, HGH Creative

 

“UNBELIEVABLY Thankful I hired Elaine. I saw Elaine Dame perform at a holiday party, and I loved her energy, so when it was time to hire a jazz singer for a 100 person birthday event, I knew who to call. This was a huge weekend celebration with a LOT of moving parts. Without question, one of the best decisions I made was hiring Elaine. I knew she was lovely with a great voice, from hearing her perform at the holiday party I attended. What I came to find out was that she is also INCREDIBLY flexible, professional, on-point, responsible, and helpful. Working with her was a complete pleasure. Without question, I would recommend her. If you hire her, I am sure you will be as pleased and relieved as I was to have found her.”
