10 out of 10. I don’t know what to ask because this was my first time ever ordering this type of service. She answered all my questions, price was reasonable and since I was out of state I asked her to communicate with someone in town. Everything was great and my mom was very happy with her singing telegram. Hope you receive more business from this that event.
Details: I'm flexible • Sing a song • Other • 51 year olds or older • One song

I'm a Lifestyle Director at a large golf course country club community. We hired King And I Creative for an event to this past Saturday. The band was awesome. I needed more of a jazzy style type of ambience. I spoke with Yolanda, the lead singer, for a little bit right before the event and learned that there are many things that this Band has to offer. We will hire them again, next time they're going to be after party entertainment for one of our golf tournaments. Yes they do jazz really well, but they also know how to get everybody in the mood to party as well. Can't wait to have them back!
Details: Cocktail hour • 76 - 100 guests • 18 - 30 years old • 31 - 50 years old • 51 or older • Vocals • Guitar • Other strings • No preference • Jazz / Blues • Outdoors

With a last minute request to make my Husband’s “covid” birthday special, Yolanda was amazing! She was very reasonably priced and e even brought a beautiful balloon bouquet with my hubby’s favorite snacks + made a special song just for him with some of the facts I provided. I can’t say enough positive things!

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Band pricing varies depending on type of configuration (solo, duo, full dance band, etc.), hours needed, type of event (wedding, corporate event, etc) and sound requirements.
The base price listed is for a basic sound, set up and 2 hour minimum of 2 piece band configuration (usually piano and singer)
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Each client is unique and therefore we like to customize our work according to their wishes and budget. After a general quote we follow up with a consultation to better assess client needs, event and venue. Lastly, a detailed song list of special songs, announcements or any other event details is constructed and voila . . . Great memories are made!
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I played clarinet in middle school and have always had a natural “ear” for music. I’ve always had an entrepreneurial spirit and have owned my own business for over 15 years. Between being a military child, cheerleading in college and high school, modeling, and singing professionally I’ve developed a love for meeting new people
