February 17, 2020Great Choice
Procuring an entertainer this was was new to me. Normally you depend on a referral. I was a bit hesitant. From the beginning I was impressed with Mr. Cruz. The video, extensive and varied song list to his prompt responses served to help me choose. He arrived early, was personable and professional throughout the event. I will certainly use him again and again.
