Exceptionally Perfect 10/10
My wedding reception turned out beautiful just by having your performance alone. My wedding guests we’re very impressed and grateful for hearing wonderful love music, which is hard to find these days. I really appreciate the professionalism and grace that each trio member showed, It truly was a wonderful experience breathtaking many of the guest wanted to know how they could sign up for the quartet to play for them at their next event which made my heart very happy. Thank you again for a wonderful performance and experience I won’t forget for a lifetime. I know that you all play as a trio and a team but I wanted to personally thank Alistair Kok for helping to make my day special ❤️
