I read all of Ed's wonderful reviews and was expecting him to be great, but he somehow exceeded that expectation. I wish we could have Ed at every party. He was a wonderful performer and engaged an otherwise shy crowd. I would absolutely hire again and recommend highly!

Response from CroonerEd:
Thanks so much, Cheir. You and your guests were terrific and fun to entertain. Your outside patio area worked out great, too. Not only did I get to dance with a lovely lady and get your folks to sing along, but I enjoyed talking to many after the show and heard first hand how much they enjoyed the music and stories. Thank you again for the opportunity to be with you all and for your great review.

Ed was outstanding! Not only did he show up early with all equipment needed, he set everything up and did not require any assistance (a huge relief in setting up parties!). He was friendly, always had a smile and the performance was top-notch. Dressed to the nines and professional. What amazing asset to our party, we could not have asked for more!

Thanks Kimberly! You sure know how to throw a party! And talk about being dressed to the nines, you out sparkled everyone. You’re group was super friendly and I thoroughly enjoyed my time with you. Glad we got that “sing-a-long” in and I’m grateful you invited me to be a part of your celebration. Hope we get to do this again in the days ahead.

Response from CroonerEd:
It was a lot of fun entertaining your fun group, Peggy. Thanks again for inviting me to be a part!
CroonerEd is an excellent, professional performer and we would love to have him return for future performances. He was accommodating to our company's scheduling needs, showed up early, and provided our senior audience with an interactive & fun show. They loved his choice of songs and enjoyed his vocal style. Our community has been on lockdown due to the covid pandemic so this was the first live concert we have had in months! What a treat! Would definitely recommend!

Crooner Ed customized and delivered the most wonderful show for my mother’s 90th birthday! The song choices were perfect and his voice is amazing! I requested songs from the Rat Pack, and was extremely impressed with his choices and execution. A wonderful addition to any special event. Thanks Crooner Ed for playing a part in making my mom’s birthday such a memorable one.
