• Nicole was amazing! I booked her for my South Carolina beach wedding about a month before she discovered she was moving to Florida. She kept her commitment though and flew back to Charleston just for my half-hour wedding. She did a wonderful job, and she was so easy to work with. I highly recommend her! Brides, I promise you can count on her. -- Amanda M, Folly Beach, SC, 6/20/2010

• Nicole could not make the wedding due to family issues. She found someone else to take her place. His name was Monty. He was good, but did not play the song my daughter wanted played when she came down our walkway. But we really appreciated Nicole finding someone to fill in. He was very good, just last minute replacement and did not play the one song, but he was professional. I would like to engage Nicole for another event some day. We were sorry she was unable to be there. -- Bobbi M, New Smyrna, FL, 11/12/2011
