"Thank you so much for playing at our home for our party. You made the party! Your setup was so professional, and the music was perfect for the occasion. Everyone at the party felt like they were already in Jamaica! I didn't have to worry about a thing because I knew you had it covered. The party wouldn't have been nearly as successful without you there. My husband and I will certainly be calling you in the future for similar occasions!" (Kristen and Blaine Breaux - New Orleans, LA)

We just want to say "thank you" Ray for providing wonderful music for our surprise birthday party this past Saturday. Your music was enjoyed by all!!

• Ray did a fabulous job from the moment we booked him for the cocktail hour of our daughter's 4 hour reception. He contacted us immediately to find out what we were looking for and continued to provide us with peace of mind all the way through his performance. Our guests were delighted to be able to talk without having to shout to be heard at the same time having a true party tone set for the rest of the evening. Other compliments for Ray from our guests were that he was really enjoying making great music. We were thoroughly satisfied with Ray and would definitely recommend him to anyone considering using his talents for their event. Thanks Ray and Gigmasters! -- Mary Lou I, New Orleans, LA, 4/23/2011
• Ray provided a performance that was precisely what we had discussed. He showed up early to allow plenty of time for set up. He was conscientious and tailored his performance depending upon what was happening at the anniversary event. People who attended are still talking positively about his performance three weeks later. Thanks Ray! -- Shannon S, Franklinton, LA, 6/11/2011
