Nikki's got it all! -Hal Schaefer (Arranger for Peggy Lee & Marilyn Monroe). References upon request!

Cocktail PartyReviewed on May 4, 2015From Philadelphia, PA

Nikki and the band were great. I recommend them for any event you are having. We had them performance at one of our business events and it was unbelievable. She's full of energy and everyone was a pleasure to work with. She allowed us to have some fun with our staff by calling them out and loosing them up. If I could give her more than 5 stars I would!
