Tony was great! I would definitely recommend for any romantic evening events. Tony was very professional and was able to read the room; he played instrumental music while guests were having conversations and being to add vocals to the music once the room dynamics shifted. Guests really enjoyed the music and I look forward to working with Tony again real soon!
