Feedback
- JT is awesome! He was extremely accomodating considering many of the last minute changes made in regard to our reception. He learned a new song for our "wedding first dance" and it was beautiful! All our guests commented on how great he sounded. JT is very professional besides being extremely talented. We definitely, highly recommend him & are so pleased we discovered him on Gigmasters! -- Al & Jeanette B, Concord, NC, 5/2/2009
