Another testament

Image
Dear Ken, I cannot thank you enough for the amazing performance last night at the Cairnwood Summer Wine Tasting.  Our guests raved about the music and it blows my mind that you were able to get the crowd dancing.  Your band turned a simple wine tasting into a memorable party!  Also – your band members are so professional, kind and easy to work with.  It is refreshing to meet a group that you know is having fun and truly enjoying the event as much as we are.  It truly was a magnificent night and I hope to see you again at Cairnwood very soon. Sincerely, Shannon Director - Cairnwood Estate 215.947.2004 ex26

The company you bring 3. The Energy of the Entertainment  If you took away: favors, cakes, fancy limo, p...

The Dance floor is the best testament to a great party!!
