You are Top Notch!
Hi MAKAIO,
A short note to thank you for providing the entertainment for us this
weekend. You are top notch. All the guest made comments on how impressed
they were with your music and how you managed to transport them to the
Caribbean islands. Most importantly we can't express how grateful we are
for your gentle handling of the kids; allowing them to experience playing
the steel drum and sing along with you was PRICELESS. This is definitely an
experience that will stay with all who attended the party. But, most
importantly will be forged into growing up summer memories for the children.
Thanks again for being professional and having a true love for what you do.
Rick and Laura

You made our 10th wedding anniversary party a great success!
Thank you, thank you! You made our 10th wedding anniversary party a great success!!! We loved the
way you led the band from start to finish. The singing was amazing and the steel drum was total class. You transported us back to the Caribbean islands. We love the way you were the master of ceremony and kept the whole event focused and cohesive. There were no awkward gaps. Every one enjoyed the "limbo" dance and laughed with glee as each person was eliminated. The kids really had the best time sliding and crawling under the limbo stick. Thank you for the encouraging words you spoke to us to enjoy the marriage and continue to make God the center of our lives. You led the event with a joyful and happy energy. It was so good to celebrate with you and to talk with you. Thank you so much!
