A Stellar Performance!

Raquel did an amazing job. We hired her to perform at my Mother’s 60th Birthday Party. She communicated with me before the event to get our vision for that day. Raquel arrived on time. Although we were a little behind on schedule then originally discussed with Raquel to start her show, she was very accommodating and patient with my family! We absolutely loved everything about her performance especially the addition of the sword!
