October 8, 2025Amazing!!!!
Thomas played at our beach wedding. He was the icing on the cake of our storybook wedding. My only regret is, that as the bride, I was unable to listen to all the songs he played. Thank you, Thomas, for your communication, being on time, and utilizing the song list we provided. 10 out of 10 recommend!!!!!!! If you are contemplating hiring him for an event, stop contemplating and just DO IT! You will not be disappointed!

May 1, 2025Proposal of my dreams!
Thomas played for my now fiancée and I while I proposed. It is safe to say that my other half loved it, as did I. He played song requests, as well as some romantic pop renditions. He was very professional, and went above and beyond to make this moment special for my partner and I! Definitely would book again!!!

December 2, 2024Very Professional
Mr. Jenkins always answered his messages leading up to my wife's party. He made great suggestions that made the night even more special. He was on time and played the whole time he was paid for; he even ensured I was satisfied before he left.
I look forward to hiring him for our next event. He's a 10/10.
