DJ Mike should have retired already

We met the Dj in person two weeks before the wedding and he was much older than the photos on his website. We became concerned because he was extremely forgetful and kept asking the same question even four times in a row.
The reception was a disaster because he didn’t play our playlist. He told us that he forgot to delete the previous wedding’s playlist and he mostly played that one. In the right spot He played our first dance song and Havana Gila quietly during the cocktail hour before it was time. He was unable to comprehend what he was doing wrong or to fix it.We were very disappointed.

Santa was great

Santa was great. Two o the children were sick and not able to come so Santa sang on the phone with them. He was pleasant and we took many photos. Everyone thought he was great and asked me how I got Santa Jim. So, thanks for a great Christmas Party.

Steve Shimchick was an excellent addition

Steve Shimchick was an excellent addition to our holiday dinner party. We hosted a company gathering to celebrate year-end accomplishments. Steve accompanied dinner with holiday piano music which promoted a wonderful festive atmosphere for bonding. His talent was noted by those in attendance. He asked about song favorites and was prepared in case requests would be made. We really enjoyed working with Steve and would absolutely recommend him!

Last2Leave was AMAZING

Last2Leave was truly incredible! They made our wedding the MOST amazing party. It rained / was freezing at our outdoor wedding and they were so flexible - moving locations and bringing the heat on the dance floor. Our wedding would not have been as much fun without them!

Wide range of musicians to choose from

Finding The Bash online made the selection of a classical musi trio to play at our parents' anniversary a very simple process. The selection of musicians was quite extensive and through The Bash we were able to connect with a group in the local area.

Santa Doug Visits the Library

The youth patrons and families really enjoyed listening to Christmas stories and having a photo opt with Santa Doug at our library. He was cheery, professional and if I didn't know better, I'd think he was the real Santa!

The singer had a nice voice

The singer had a nice voice, but his PA system failed several times during his performance. He also showed up with his wife (also a singer) who we did not expect, and she was not so good and brought the quality of his performance down.
