• Kit was fabulous, Our LImo did not have air on one of the hottest days of the year so we arrived early to the venue. Kit was great started early and really helped to list the mood of the hot and hungry guests... We will definitely book Kit again. Thanks for your site, I recommended you to the venue. -- Deann Doherty, Portland, OR, 7/29/2010
• Kit was amazing! This is the second time that we have used him for an event and once again, he surpised and delighted our event goers. We would absolutely recommend him for anyone needing a professional and well versed player. -- Lindsay Lutner, Hillsboro, OR, 8/19/2010
• We were so pleased to have Kit Garoutte play at our wedding. He was very professional and worked well with our wedding coordinator and other vendors. We requested specific songs outside of Kit's regular repertoire and he was more than willing to learn them for a very reasonable fee. Most importantly, our guests loved Kit! We received many compliments about how his music added to our party. If we were to do it again, we would have asked him to play for dinner in addition to the ceremony and cocktail hour. Kit communicated well throughout the process and was a personable addition to our event. We are looking for opportunities to have him entertain us again! -- Dana Thompson, Forest Grove, OR, 6/27/2011
• Kit was the perfect addition to our event. Not only did the clients enjoy him, he was also a pleasure to work with and treated all my people warmly and with great professionalism! I will use him again and again! -- Heather Brown, Hillsboro, OR, 6/6/2010
• We hired Kit to play our wedding ceremony... normally people would want the wedding march and cannon in d, but we were looking for something different. Kit was more then accommodating; it was truly a joy to work with him... even when I was being a crazy bride. I would recommend Kit to everyone! -- Kelsey Brusseau, Beaverton, OR, 7/30/2011
