May 13, 2024Perfect for our event.
Spencer was a fantastic addition to our Mother’s day tea. He was quite flexible with moving to the different areas of the event and his repertoire fit the occasion perfectly. We will be bringing him back!

January 28, 2024Great performer
Spencer was flexible because I inadvertently gave home the wrong start time, but he took it in stride and played longer. Everyone really enjoyed his performance.

I inadvertently gave Spencer the wrong start time and he was very gracious and flexible in extending his playing time. His music was beautiful and all the guests really enjoyed his performance at our corporate event.
