Review by Aaron B.

Private PartyReviewed on March 22, 2014From New York City, NY

If you find a more genuine soul than Nia Drummond, let me know. I had a very specific and somewhat technically complicated request, but Nia accommodated so enthusiastically. She sang a song on Oak Bridge in Central Park during a surprise proposal I had planned for my girlfriend. She worked seamlessly behind the scenes with my family, who surprised my fiancé at the event. Her attitude is contagious, and her voice is beautiful.
