We were really happy with the musicians on the day. They were really nice and made the event extra special.
Val (01 May 2025)
Private Event
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.
Russ (02 Apr 2025)

Zac was the perfect choice for our event. He played some songs from our play list and then others that he chose, and all were just right! He created a wonderful relaxed atmosphere and everyone had a great time.
