June 27, 2022Raving Reviews for Lisa
We had Lisa play at my parent's 50th Wedding Anniversary garden party. She arrived early to set up and was very friendly. Lisa was fantastic and always responded quickly to my messages before the event. I asked her to play mainly 50's, 60's, and 70's songs and she delivered. Every one at the party had nothing but good things to say about her. Thank you Lisa for making the night extra special!

December 12, 2021Lovely addition to our wedding
I would definitely recommend Lisa for your event. She was early and prepared. She beat the groom(me) to the event. Her playing was beautiful and she had great communication before the event.
