Best Entertainer/DJ Ever!

We just celebrated my daughter and new son-in-law's wedding! We chose Karl as our entertainer. He came highly recommended to us by our venue. After looking at his website, we felt his personality/style would be a perfect fit our event. In addition to providing the ceremony music, and being the DJ for the dancing portion of the wedding, we chose to have Karl and his pianist play music during cocktail hour (so glad we did this)! He is extremely personable, professional, and talented. He continually communicated with us and always wanted to make sure he took care of any of our concerns. Karl definitely kept the crowd on the dance floor! Such a fun night! He is top-notch!

Incredible Musician and DJ!! Highly recommend!

Karl is INCREDIBLE! There is no other way to describe his professionalism and work as the musician and DJ. From the very beginning, he was so communicative and answered all of our questions. He sang live music at our cocktail hour AND our first dance song and it was amazing. Our guests are still talking about it!!! For the DJ part of the night, he outdid himself! We directed our guests as needed and was very fun yet professional on the mic. I gave him song suggestions and he ran with it making it the best dance floor for people of all ages all night long. We cannot thank you enough Karl! Wish we could do it all again. Highly highly recommend!
