Look no further....Vardan is the best!
We really wanted a Sazandar for our traditional Armenian wedding and knew that we needed to book Vardan. We've heard Vardan perform at Armenian weddings for years and he and his talented crew never cease to amaze.
When it came time for our wedding, we had Vardan come just for the grand entrance (because we didn't do the harse haksnel) and they came into the hall with us and performed for about 15-20 minutes! They were amazing and everyone was on the dance floor! Needless to say, my Armenian guests were very impressed. As for the non-Armenian guests, they absolutely loved the festive and talented music played by Vardan and his crew, and the traditional outfits were a huge plus! Absolutely look no further than Vardan for all of your traditional Armenian music needs! My groom and I give him the highest recommendations!

Awsome!!!
As the mother of the bride I needed our traditional music for when my daughter is leaving our home on her wedding day in true Armenian fashion and in the hall for the bride's entrance.
Vardan and his band were my number one choice. Words can not express my gratitude for an amazing experience. Don't give it a second thought if you are shopping for a band!
He is very professional we communicated via email and phone, Vardan confirmed the time and the place twice which made me feel very at ease. Hands down the best. They made my daughter's day that much more special! I could not imagine it without Vardan and his band. Thank you and God Bless these talented musicians:))
One happy Mother of the Bride

The Best in the Business!
Vardan and his band added just the perfect traditional touch to our wedding. They came in the morning to my house with the grooms side and my whole neighborhood was out to see this amazing site and hearing the incredible music! Then, in the evening they brought my husband and I into the hall and he had the whole crowd up, dancing, and really started the party off on an amazing note!
Thank you Vardan for making our special day even more special!

Vardan
This guy amazes me. If you know anything about good music, you def. want him. I never write reviews, but just came across him on this site and had to let you guys know, I've seen him play at a lot of weddings/parties and he is the best musician I've heard.

Amazing!
Vardan is a true talent on duduk, zurna, and clarinet. There is no other person that I would have wanted to preform on my wedding day. I personally feel that Vardan is one of the very BEST!
Not only is Vardan an accomplished musician (who studied in Armenia at the conservatory...!) he's a SUPER nice guy and he's extremely professional. It was important for me to select a great player - not a good player. I chose to fly Vardan out to my wedding on the east coast because he just simply is one of the best. Duduk, zurna, and clarinet are all very integral instruments for an Armenian wedding. Vardan is a master on them all...

Amazing Musician
We could not have chosen a better musician for our wedding. Both my husband and I are very happy that Vardan played at our wedding. He is professional, talented, and very organized. He knows exactly what type of music to play to entertain his audience. He is truly amazing. We highly recommend him.
