August 8, 2021Very good interaction with audience of all ages (toddlers to elderly). Our event was a community block party sponsored by our church and Denise made the event a huge success. We would book her again.

May 30, 2021Denise was kind, courteous and knowledgeable. We had a 40th bday for my wife that had adults and kids. The kids wanted to interact with Denise and she was very KIND and COURTEOUS to let them sing with her. Denise was extremely KNOWLEDGEABLE with songs. She even played a few songs on the fly that she has not played before. Music was great! She played the perfect songs for us. She was able to cover decades of music. Thanks Denise!

September 25, 2017Denise did an awesome job at our ceremony. We sent her youtube clips of songs we liked and wanted played. She played exactly what we asked for and everyone loved the music she provided. She made our ceremony better than we thought. would recommend her highly. Thanks!!
