"Words are not adequate to describe our experience with the multi-talented Andrew THielen and his band and vocalist! Could we say "first class", "fabulous", or "incredible", or "beyond all expectation"? Not nearly adequate. Andrew and his crew were appealing, pleasant and accommodating, and prompt, with great flexibility. They were prepared and in addition dealt with a rather complicated line-up with no preparation beyond email beforehand and a quick run through a few hours before the show. Last minute changes were greeted with ease and cheer. Andrew communicated and responded promptly by email with me throughout this experience from booking to arrival at the event, was quick to lend ideas and complimentary and encouraging to our staff, event, audience and committee. A talented vocalist, drummer, and maestro, you almost don't need an emcee for your event with Andrew's charm and charisma! This was indeed a quality experience for us. That aside, 600 guests filled the room to capacity. The tables were filled and stayed filled from 7 PM til midnight with an audience ranging in age from 25 to 90 years old! The 40 x 40 foot dance floor was filled to capacity the entire evening. We could NOT believe that at 12 o'clock we had to tell a crowded dance floor that it was time to go!!!!! They just seemed oblivious to the time and lost in the evening! Kudos to Andrew Thielen's Big Band and to gigmasters for "a perfect performance" We will use them both again!
