Kevin was wonderful. He was a total professional and went the distance to wear his tux despite 100+ heat. His repetoire of music was amazing and he was in totally in tune to the various music tastes of our guests. He was wonderul in helping us with selections for the wedding ceremony and calming the harried bride that all would work out well. I would without hesitation recommend him to others for use in providing the right musical touch to their event.
