A great performer for our event

Doug and Andrea were a great duo at our reception event for Unifor's Media Council. Their song selection was perfect and the perfect addition to our event. Folks could listen and relax or carry on conversations while they were playing. Truly an amazing act that I would not hesitate to hire again if I was in Victoria.

They set up and took down discretely allowing our guests to continue to visit and enjoy the event. If you are looking for some nice background music for your event, Doug and Andrea are perfect for receptions and cocktail parties.

Our delegates came up to me the day after telling me how much they enjoyed them at our event. It was the added touch our event needed and was appreciated by many.

Thank you again Doug and Andrea.

Highlight of the party!

Doug was a surprise for my father’s 70th birthday and he really put the cherry on top of a very special day. He’s such a talented guitarist and we were blown away with how beautifully he played. Thanks Doug for such a memorable experience for us all.
