Feedback
- This group was extremely talented and a lot of fun to work with. Dimitri made everything very easy for us during the planning process. They were also really flexible -- they let my 6-year-old cousin dance and play the egg-maracas until she dropped; then one of our guests, who is a professional singer, requested to do a number with them, and they gave her great back-up, were very accommodating, and they even asked her to do a second number because they had so much fun with her.
Dimitri Nassar and his group made our day really special. I would recommend them to anyone. -- Jessica N, Charlotte, NC, 5/30/2009
- I was very impressed with Mr. Nassar and would not only hire him again, but refer him to anyone looking for an extremely talented and professional pianist. My guests were impressed and complimented the duo the entire evening. I look forward to hiring him again! -- Tarra C, Glenn Dale, MD, 5/2/2009
- Great guys; they did evetything we asked. they practiced and prepared. We worked with them on the songs they used and they worked hard the whole time to make the evening great. Will use them again and highly recommend them.
