Hi Robyn
Thanks for dropping me a line.
Jason was awesome as usual. We had a bit of a younger crowd this time around and Jason was able to change up his playlist to accommodate. Absolute pro as always.

Hi Robyn
Thanks for your email, I have been meaning to get in touch to let you know how happy we were with Jason :)
The music can make or break an event, and I have to say that Jason made our engagement party extra special. We have had endless comments from our guests at how talented he is, and how he played just the right kind of music for our crowd.
The whole process was also so easy from beginning to end - thank you so much. If you can also please pass on our thanks to Jason - we will be recommending him to everyone!
Kind regards

Engagement Party
Dear Robyn
Both Jason and Andrew we professional, timely and a pleasure to work alongside.
They both took the lead after just one of the six ceremonies which was brilliant, as they came in and did their performances with little and no overseeing needed which is immensely helpful when staff have to be in several different places at once.
Thank you for touching base and we would happily book both these artists again if the brief required similar services.
Kind regards
