Thank you very much for following up. 😊
Unfortunately I was not onsite for the 31st December, however the staff feedback I have heard, has only been great comments. So we will definitely keep your agency details on file for all future events. 😊

Hi
We were thrilled to have Aprils duo, and many people commented on how they enjoyed it. We really feel it added to the atmosphere . They were very helpful and willing to play items we requested. I found the whole experience easy, from initial requests to the end. I loved dealing with all of you. Thanks again.
