September 4, 2025We hired Perry to “end” the evening of our wedding. The wedding started at 4:30, dancing started at 6:30 with a DJ, and we figured most guests would clear out by 9:30, so at when the DJ ended. We wanted a piano bar/sing-a-long feel after that for what we thought might be 20-30 guests for the next hour and a half, But we probably had 50-60 people there still who wanted to keep going strong, and Perry stepped up and performed, reading the crowd and keeping everyone engaged. His range is wide, his voice silky smooth, and he is so personable and professional. So many people commented on his beautiful voice and great talent. Thank you Perry for helping make that night so special!

June 26, 2023Perry was an amazing performer who had the crowd completely engaged from the beginning of the event until the very end.
His talent is a mix of amazing vocals, energized stage performance and humorous crowd engagement. I’ve booked lots of performers but Perry was by far the best!
Everybody kept complementing me on the entertainment… I can’t wait to host another event soon!
