1 Review
What's great here is that Who Knew provided professionalism the entire way; from the first email to the end-of-the-night. They listened to what I wanted and not just delivered, but succeeded (played our requests, etc....) Their talent was exceptional and covered many, many genres - we were thrilled ! TY
