Finding Michael Scafuto has been a godsend for me. For years I struggled to find a reputable agent for Latino programming. Trying to program that genre was very frustrating. Fortunately somehow I connected with Michael and voila! Things changed. He has brought us several big name acts and has proven to be a person of integrity and honesty. He does what he promises and sticks with you to see it through. Unlike many other agents, he cares about both the talent buyer and the artist. I can’t say enough positive things about Michael and his good work. I highly recommend him.

Want to take a moment and thank you for continually being able to instigate and follow through on creative ideas to put shows in the Wenatchee Valley market. Our market is smaller in comparison and is also surrounded by summer chateaus and casinos. Guarantees that make for successful ventures on all sides many times simply don’t pencil here. So, the innovative ways you’ve been able to work with artists and building have been a win/win for all. Whether it is including ancillaries or back end dollars or percentage splits or tied together runs for affordable guarantees -we appreciate having you involved. There is no way the same straight buy deals could have worked here with artists as Boston, Joan Sebastian, Gloria Trevi, Gabriel Iglesias, Pepe Aguilar and Ron White. Looking forward to more shows in the future.

Michael called me personally after being introduced by mutual friends. I had a challenge I am sure he had heard many times before; “I need a big name, I have a low budget, and the event is with a couple of weeks”. Surprisingly, he was unshaken and provided within 24 hours a range of great options. He worked personally with me over the ensuing period to shape the show, negotiate the talent and manage the process from letter to meet & greet. He instilled enormous confidence at each step. In the end, most importantly, he delivered two great shows that blew our guests away, at a cost that was less than we expected and with a constant smile that hid what must have been a monumental challenge. Michael will remain a top resource for our entire organization.

Working with the M&M Group previously at Global Spectrum and now SMG has been a valuable partnership. Due to his variety of venues across the US, The M&M Group is able to send shows to our venues that not many people are aware of. Michael Scafuto is not afraid of working hard and making difficult shows happen for our venues. Michael is experienced with all formats of music and has brought shows to me like The Beach Boys, Straight No Chaser, Joan Sebastian and many others. We are very happy to have Michael Scafuto & The M&M Group on our side and look forward to many more years as a partner with our facilities.

I have worked with the M&M Group for several years and have formed a great partnership with Michael and his team. They have an established business based on professionalism and an impeccable reputation in the entertainment industry. The relationships that they have spent years building with the artists and agencies provides venues such as ours with opportunities that simply don’t exist with other entertainment companies. Our relationship has led to very successful events and additional revenue creation outside of our annual event schedule. We can rely on them to provide great options across all genres and that we will get the best possible deal available. They will also work tirelessly to ensure all agreements, production and promotion are in the best interest of their clients. I highly recommend Michael and the M&M Group to anyone in the entertainment industry!

We have had the pleasure of working with Michael Scafuto and the M+M Group for about 4 years now. The service, care, and attention to detail has been outstanding. Michael is always presenting us with new opportunities for our facility, and has the best interests of the Budweiser Events Center in mind at all times. We find ourselves fortunate to have an asset such as Michael helping us to secure entertainment, and we know we can count on him in good times or bad. Fortunately for us, all the shows we have done in conjunction with the M+M Group have been money makers. We would recommend the M+M Group to anyone searching for a quality partner in the talent buying process.

Over the years we have had the pleasure to work closely with M&M Group Entertainment. You will find very few companies with the dedication and support of their clients and the artists that they provide. Whether it’s talent buying, event planning or production, every show we have ever worked with them on has been effortless and our clients have been amazed by how well they were treated. Michael Scafuto and his team make this crazy business easy.

The proficiency, timelines, and professionalism of their staff and company as a whole always make any business conducted run smoothly, which within the entertainment business is not always the case.

Please accept this letter as a testimonial to the stellar job the M&M Group has done over the years with bringing top quality entertainment to all of the venues they service. We have worked with them for many years booking the likes of Kool & the Gang, The Commodores, The Gap Band and more. Each time we’ve had the pleasure of doing business with them, the shows have gone smoothly and without complaint from any of my artists. They treat my artists with respect and in turn get great shows from them. This leaves the venue patrons happy and always coming back for more.
