Absolutely Amazing experience! Would hire them again for our next event! 

Tianna and the band were amazing! Not only were our guests impressed, but the wedding venue also wants to add them to their preferred vendor list because of their class and professionalism. I cannot recommend them enough. If I had another event, they would be my first and only choice. And my husband appreciated Tianna accommodating the extremely odd request of Elmo’s song for our recessional. Thank you so much for a magical and memorable evening.

Tianna and her guitarist Jimmy Smith did a super job a yesterday's luncheon I host for a group of retirees that meet at the Houston Racquet Club.  She has an incredible voice and Jimmy and she work so well together. I would definitely like to have her return in the future.  I received many positive comments concerning their performance.

Tianna was a great talent. Our guests kept raving on the performances!
