“Thank you for giving us such a warm performance on such a cold, snowy night. You made me laugh and cry and want to be in love again. I'm looking forward to seeing you again soon. You are one powerful team!”
- Mary Ann Bromley, audience member, Cabaret at Leo's Ristorante
Amanda, Craig, & Jack gave so much more than an amazing performance. They came in celebration of family & left as family! I knew from their initial response of my request to hire them that they were perfect. As it took place at Calabria's I wanted professional class of course. From the beginning they never disappointed me! They worked with my short term planning. When they arrived they were very organized even in not knowing the venue fully. I give Bel Duetto two thumbs up & four stars! Simply a celebration of any sort should be spectacular. Bel Duetto will take your breathe away, leaving you with a memory of a lifetime! - Tameka Jean Sgro (Pittsburgh, PA)
"I am impressed with the caliber of entertainment that bel Duetto provides. Amanda and Craig are entertainment at its finest,” Youngblood said. “Their performance is universally appealing and their artistic ability is unsurpassed.” - Bonny Youngblood, Worthy Grand Matron of the Eastern Star’s Ohio Grand Chapter
As a member of the board of the Youngstown Playhouse I can attest to the fact that we are always on the look-out for outstanding talent.
Last April, we provided the venue for Bel Duetto to perform on our stage. We expected a good show but were completely blown away by their performance.
The exceptional professional level of those two voices, the emotional blending of their ranges, the absolute star quality of their stage presence combined to give us an evening of great pleasure.
Musically, the range and selection of songs pleased all aspects of the audience expectations. Love songs, arias, show tunes and originals rounded out a full portrait of great voices and wonderful music. It was a night to remember.

Starting as the entertainment for small classes of culinary dinner guests in our school, Craig and Amanda quickly formed a large following of fans of all ages in and around Lakeside, Ohio, a Chautauqua community. After just a few performances at our school, they had developed such a following that the Lakeside Association hired them to perform a mainstage concert in their 3,0000-seat Hoover Auditorium. Amanda and Craig filled this historic auditorium with their music, talent and beautiful stage presence. It was a truly spectacular and flawless performance, one which garnered rave reviews.
Amanda and Craig are not only extremely talented, but they also completely engage their audiences. They are so warm and open and are such crowd pleasers. Lakeside is a popular summer resort and Amanda and Craig are very experienced in working with the vacation crowd and well-traveled audiences.
We have had great success in our school with sellout crowds for the classes whenever they have been billed as entertainment. Their CD’s have been best sellers in our shop as well. Amanda and Craig have been a real asset to our business.
