Kendall was wonderful. He arrived early to get set up and started playing right away. He was engaging with the guest and kept the party going for sure. It was amazing experience and he even stayed past the original time frame. I would absolutely hire him again and he made my grandmothers 90th birthday special bringing in a bit of home.
