I worked with Dan from Gigroster on having two music performances for a community event at Ashby Ponds. Dan responded promptly to my inquiry and provided excellent customer service on finding the right performers.

PG and the Hot Tips and Steve Kenley were fantastic. The music truly added a wonderful touch to our event, and I want to commend them for their talent. I appreciate them adjusting the performance to meet the preferences of the guests.

Overall 5/5 positive experience and would highly recommend.
