Feedback
- Normita was fantastic to deal with. This was probably the easiest part of planning the entire event! I would highly recommend this band to anyone. She had two of her musicians perform for me on the beach during the ceremony at no additional charge. She took care of all of the details with the hotel. The music was sensational. Great, great band and fun! -- Shelley L, Saint Petersburg, FL, 5/8/2011
- LadyFingers is stellar and "A MUST" for your event.
The musicians and the singer were top class all the way. Everyone in the crowd loved the group - from the adullts (of all ages) to the children. We danced and sang with them.
The professionalism was off the charts. It was a pleasure working with Normita for the contractual portion, as well as on the evening of the event. Additionally, the band took time out to sing with our children and dance with them as well.
We could not have asked for anything more. We will book them for next year's event and anything else we can. We love LadyFingers!! -- Andrea M, Hernando, FL, 3/30/2008
- LadyFingers was fabulous! The band helped to enhance our corporate event and draw more attendees. The band members are extremely talented, and a pleasure to work with. Normita is a top professional, and I look forward to working with Lady Fingers in the future.

Their arrival to the event was very timely with plenty of time to meet talk, set up and be prepared with performance for our evnt guest. They were very approachable and personable.
The music & selections were excellent; solist were great as well!! The coordination and entertaintment was super!!! I have already decided to ask the group to provide the entertainment for next year's annual Scholarship awards banquet event.
I would highly recommend this group to anyone with high expectations, that is soliciting a super talented, multi-skilled profession group (they really helped to make the evening an even more special event). Greatest regards - Dr. Sharon D. Vickers -- Dr. Sharon D. V, Brooksville, FL, 6/2/2007
