We had a jazz quartet during our wedding cocktail hour and everyone complemented the musicians. It was the perfect way to transition from our ceremony to reception. Nick was easy to work with and very communicative throughout the planning process. The DJ payed all our favorite songs and kept the reception rolling. We had a blast and so did our guests!
