"Ken's music added the right touch to a perfect event! He was very attentive and accommodating before the evening in making sure options were available to us. Ken was on time and playing before guests arrived. His music selections were numerous, appealing to all tastes. There was even audience participation! It was a very positive experience working with Ken!" -- Judy K "Ken was great! He really worked with us to make sure that the music we chose was exactly what we wanted. When we were not sure what we wanted, he was ready with suggestions and examples that helped us make our decisions. After the ceremony we had many of our guests comment on how great the music was and that they really enjoyed it." -- Shannon K |
