Gary was such an amazing addition to our event! His energy and great variety of songs set a wonderful vibe and our guests truly enjoyed themselves. I saw several guests singing and dancing to his music even though there wasn't a dance floor. The technology that he uses makes it sound like he brought a whole band with him.
