Response from Flip Flop Dave:
Thank you for the kind words! I had a blast with you and your friends and I'm looking forward to the next time.
I had my office Christmas party this week and Flip Flop was our entertainment. He really put on a great show and everyone was really happy to have him there. He was on time, fun, and a pleasure to have. I even live in Fort Lauderdale and he made the drive. Thanks Dave, hope to see you again real soon.

"Flip Flop Dave was the perfect addition to our beachside party in Sarasota! He delivered an amazing playlist of popular beach music, handled his own setup and take down, and was an absolute pleasure to work with. Highly recommended for any beach event!" 🏖️🎶🌞

Dave put on a terrific show for our backyard graduation party in spite of some absolutely crazy weather. He was flexible and understanding when asked to relocate a number of different times (outdoors, indoors, and back outdoors). In spite of the party being spread out (some indoors and some under tents outside) and not what we envisioned, Dave did what he could to make sure that everyone, both adults and children, had a great time. My guests thoroughly enjoyed his music and commented about how impressed they were with him. We will definitely have him back for a drier and less windy event but, even if the weather dissappoints, we know that we, as hosts, can count on Dave to give a "License to Chill".
