Adrian was fabulous! Energetic sophisticated start!
We hosted a reception for our son’s law school graduation. The first hour was a contemporary violin playlist. Adrian got great reviews from our guests and from our venue staff. I was told that our decor/music ( particularly Adrian) and background music of the event was voted in the top three favorite events at the venue. The background music that followed was mainly progressive/deep house and experimental jazz. Also got many compliments as a fresh choice for this type of gathering. Age range of guests was late twenties to thirties then to the sixties up range. The evening was socially energetic.
