Private Event

ACE Music Booking Agency rating stars for a completed live music booking for Private Event by Russ on 02 Apr 2025

We had a great party, and as always, it is the music that sets the stage. I would highly recommend Ace for the connection to Chris and his band members. All that attended loved the change from the typical.
