Jasen play for our wedding reception for one and a half hours. And he did a great job! Was a surprise for my wife and she really like it.
Jasen--We can't thank you enough for your sharing your talents with our friends and family during our cocktail hour at our wedding reception. They raved about your song selection, level of professionalism, and accommodating. Our guests raved about him and how he interacted with attendees. We am hoping to have another event where Jasen's presence would be appropriate because he is that good and I would hire him again in a minute!
He arrived on time, and performed as scheduled. People really enjoyed the performance. We will be using his services in the near future.
