Anniversary PartyReviewed on October 30, 2017From Grayslake, IL

Katherine was amazing. She played songs from my favorite show, Phantom of the Opera, and many other favorite show tunes. She was lovely and gracious and made our anniversary party so special. Our guests just loved the music. I’m so glad we found her!
