• Ava was completely professional and accomodating. She had to perform in a noisy restaurant, but perform she did! She was totally awesome. All of the guests at the party loved her music, and admired her for playing in noisy surroundings. She is a great musician and has a wonderful personality. I plan on seeing Ava play at one of her future engagements. Thank you GigMasters for finding Ava for me! Cindy -- Cindy Yeafoli, Sacramento, CA, 4/26/2010
• Ava Lemert did a fantastic performance,vocal and sax. My guests were surprised of her astonishing performance. I highly recommended her to everyone. -- Zeny Almanzor, Lincoln, CA, 11/27/2010
• The entire experience was wonderful! I can't stress enough how happy we were, as well as the guests and the person hosting the party - since this was a surprise to him. He asked Ava for a business card so he can book her for future events. Her sax playing and singing are heavenly, truly. She was very accomodating with her music selection, and in the end, we were able to leave it up to her judgement as to what to perform, and she really proved she could please a crowd. We would not hesitate to hire her services for another function. She is a very warm and friendly person, someone you feel you have known all your life. -- Denise Maloney, Roseville, CA, 12/29/2010
• On a scale of 1-5, I rate Ava Lemert a 10+!! What a wonderful and talented lady! I loved her performance. The music playlist was a perfect mix of instrumentals and vocals. The tunes written by her are beautiful. The PA system sounds great and was at the perfect volume. I appreciated her flexibility and support in helping coordinate her performance time with another performer that started before her. I am known amongst my friends as a critic and I have nothing but great things to say about Ava - I love her sound!! -- Jacqueline Pryor, Sacramento, CA, 9/19/2011
• Ava Lemert is such a star-and won the hearts of all of our residents. She brought just the right mix of songs, and was here early to set up. She interacted with every resident, and left with a brand new fan base in all of us! -- Laura Wayman, Woodland, CA, 1/7/2012
