January 5, 2021Chris is nice and kind man who is flexible to work for my event. He even gives me more than what I expected: his Love Songs CD and a video of my event his GF helped out to record that I didn’t ask. He’s so thoughtful and above and beyond what I expected. I’m very impressed with his nice, kind and his nice smile. I will hire him again if I need him.

December 17, 2019We had the pleasure of having Chris Foster at our company Holiday Party last Tuesday. It was an event of 160 people and he rocked it! At one point he had all employees up on their feet dancing, so many pictures of everyone having so much fun! He was also very responsive and professional while coordinating the event, which is always appreciated.
I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for entertainment at an event.

Due to the sensitivity of my instruments it is not good for them to be in direct sunlight. So if I'm doing and outside job I need to be in a shady spot. An umbrella is sufficient in most cases.
Access to power is also necessary. If power is not available at the location of a job, then we need to discuss further details to confirm the needs of the job. (i.e. power generator, extension cords etc..)
