We were fortunate to have the talented Athene and her wonderful musicians at our wedding in Rockport, Massachusetts this past May 2006. She was very professional, flexible and pleasant and really blew us all away with the quality of her performance. I would highly recommend her for any party, not just a wedding. You will NOT be disappointed!

Athene gets an overall rating of OUTSTANDING!!!!!
We are very please to have chosen her to be a part of what we wished to be a memmorable event for our guest of honor. Our evening was a surprise retirement party for my husband who served the City of Boston for over 30 years. He had no clue of the event until the moment he got there... Athene made it possible for us to surprise him his a personal dedication of music that is in his personal collection of 'favorites'. The entire audience was in awe of her talent anf gift of voice. SHE WAS A HIT!!!!!!
WE WILL LOOK FORWARD TO HAVING HER JOIN US IN OTHER EVENTS BOTH PERSONAL AND PROFESSIONAL.
THANKS ATHENE.... YOU WERE GREAT!!!!!
