A wonderful exerperince

Thank you Navid for making my event even greater than expected. Your attention to detail, customer service and most importantly your skill in your craft is far superior. Navid, was willing to extend his contractual and agreed upon playing time for as long as I wanted at no extra cost. his musical selection along with background instrumentals was nothing less than perfect. Navid was performing during the entrance of my guest and the look on their faces was truly priceless. its a shame that GigSalad only allow 5 starts as this does not do Navid justice.
Navid, thank you for all you done and thank you for making my event EXTRA,, EXTRA,, EXTRA SPECIAL
