Feedback
- Donny (and his wife Donna) were fabulous to work with for our daughter's wedding. They worked with us on song selection and costume recommendation. The professionalism of the performance was superb. Donny as a person is humble and charming. He truly enjoys what he does, and it comes out in the performance. We were told numerous times that the wedding was one not to forget, and one of the best people had attended. Even the staff of the restaurant we used kept peeking in to see the show by Donny.
