You are awesome. Thank you for this lovely review. It’s always a pleasure working with you.
Cheers,

Mikael was so amazing! He is a very talented musician that was absolutely perfect for my wedding ceremony and reception music and I am so glad I found him! It was exactly what I wanted at my outdoor cabin venue and a lot of my guests commented on how great he was! He was easy to get in touch with and fulfilled my request of playing my song for the ceremony! Thank you so much Mikael!

Thanks Byron. We really enjoyed playing at your festival!
We had Mikael Lewis perform at our wedding reception in downtown Salt Lake at The Rooftop Lounge & Rooftop Terrace. He was perfect for the venue and vibe. Beautiful voice and guitar music. He was wonderful to work with leading up to the event and a great performer at the reception. We recommend Mikael Lewis for any special and/or private events! Great experience!

We had a garage party up Emigration Canyon with Sand Volleyball, Darts, Ping Pong and merriment going on with Michael playing and singing, people playing activities and a Food Truck making for a kind of three ring circus of good times. The weather was perfect, Michael was on time and on key. Beautiful playing volleyball, drinking beer and listening to Michael play and sing. Great selection of 1960 plus rock and roll.
Thanks again,
Andy

Mikael was everything I hoped for! I hired him to play at my wedding reception at the Hotel Park City. He did an amazing job adapting to the environment whether it was playing through dinner or for dancing afterwards. He asked ahead of time if I had any special songs I needed him to learn but by chance he knew everything I needed him to! All of my guests were impressed and thought he was perfect! Would definitely recommend him to anyone and would use him again for any special event!
