Can’t believe how awesome Hank was! He DJ’d our wedding & he was one of the main reasons our wedding was so awesome. Everyone loved him, he played awesome music to get the crowd going & even get them to the dance floor! He was so kind and would come up just to talk to you. Played all the correct songs at the corrected times! Would recommend Breaking The Norm to any friends and family!!!! Thank you for everything Hank!
