  • Jon is the kind of artist that every host hopes for: highly talented, uncomplicated, and very interested in helping your vision become real. -- Mark K, Santa Monica, CA, 4/8/2012
  • We actually had a destination wedding in Scottsdale, AZ and they made the six hour drive. It was just the most magnificent event & they were more than accommodating in playing our specific requests for our ceremony music & cocktail hour. Our guests were so wowed by the entire venue & their music added just the PERFECT touch to our unique wedding! Our guests couldn't stop talking about their music & we were fortunate enough to have 3 of them play! Jon contacted me a 2 weeks before our wedding & told me that he had a friend coming into town to stay with him. He wanted to make sure it was okay to have his friend, Liam, attend & play as well. THE BEST!!! Thank You!! ;) -- Stephanie V, Scottsdale, AZ, 4/27/2012
  • Jon Knight's performance was wonderful. Just what we needed for our wedding reception. He was very professional through the whole process. He was always very quick to respond to any of my questions and very helpful. We would definitely recommend this peformer to friends and family and would hire him again should we need his services. Overall, a great person to work with! -- Stefanie P, Lebanon, IL, 9/11/2010
