My husband enjoys classical… I enjoy pop. Our guests are 5 children under 5 years old and 40 guests between ages 12-80.
Amazing!
I asked Mr Bauer to play at our daughter’s baptism luncheon a few weeks ago. His music provided a captivating atmosphere that just filled the room. He prepared a carefully chosen set by Bach to suit the occasion, showcasing musical styles from classical masterpieces, each piece delivered beautifully! Moreover, his professionalism and demeanor added an extra layer of sophistication to the event. I communicated with him via this platform and responded quickly. He reached out via text to confirm his arrival. Overall, he was punctual, well-prepared, dressed appropriately for the occasion, and interacted warmly with my husband and I, enhancing the overall ambiance of the event.
