... the music was exactly what we wanted. Thank you. Everyone commented favorably on the music style and volume. It was non obtrusive during dinner and just right for all the mingling and chatting that was going on. There is nothing that I would want done differently. I will gladly recommend the Honest Agent and Robert to anyone and everyone I speak to!!
