Dan was absolutely incredible. I hired him to be part of my proposal plan. He listened to my vision and made it come true. He took the time to learn the song and executed it perfectly. On the day of the proposal, he let me know when he arrived - which was well ahead of the scheduled time and when the time came to perform he nailed it. Sounded and played beautifully. So thankful for his professionalism and talent. He was an awesome; highly recommend!

Tony was an absolute pleasure to work with, and he curated the exact atmosphere we were looking for. He is very talented and we received many comments on how lovely his performance was. We were looking for something very light, yet still lush and inviting, and he absolutely delivered! Thank you so much, Tony! We hope to work with you again in the future for other events in the area.
