Fundraiser
in Washington, DC
on 04/20/2013
"Mr. Perez was a true professional. He responded promptly to questions and requests prior to the event. The evening of the event he came early to set up. He was fully prepared for the evening's performance and required no supervision during the evening. He is a talented and experienced performer and provided an evening of total enjoyment for the fundraiser. I would highly recommend him."

Birthday Party (Adults)
in Reston, VA
on 10/06/2012
"We thoroughly enjoyed Cristian's music at my mother's 80th birthday party. He played requests and even accompanied my mother when she sang an old-fashioned song from her youth in Puerto Rico. A number of people commented favorably on how much his talent added to the overall event. His fee was more conservative than that of other musicians I researched, too; all in all we were very pleased!"

Wedding Ceremony
in Norfolk, VA
on 10/15/2011
"Christian was amazing! I procrastinated when it came to finding someone to play during our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. This was my job and I dropped the ball. So when I found Christian and discovered that he was available, I hoped that he would be easy to work with. It turns out that he was. We had some special music that we asked him to play and he was very accommodating. He arrived early with professional equipment (I'm a musician so I notice these things). He was also very polite, not taking an "I'm the talent" sort of attitude. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Christian to a friend. If you're new to Gigmasters, it seems to be a great service by the way"
