Toe tapping good time.

Russel brought the joy to our small, intimate wedding. Continuous playing of recognizable and background tunes kept people’s toes tapping during dinner. He even allowed for a last minute pivot, providing a mic and the music for our resident family wedding singer to serenade our first dance together. He was a pleasure to work with, a positive light on a day we’ll remember forever.
