Feedback

  • i was really pleased. we had a late start, and altho they were hired for to start at a specific time, they were professional, and started late like us, and continued for the entire event. -- Donna H, Colton, CA, 5/27/2011
  • The Allegretto Ensemble was terrific. We had the Morning Glory String Band play for our event, and they showed up early, set everything up themselves, and played wonderful music throughout our event. I really enjoyed having them and the attendees had nothing but compliments. Thank you! -- Sabrina V, Dana Point, CA, 9/11/2011
