Charlie personally DJ'd my wedding on September 28th, 2002 (the Horsup/Phair wedding) and to this day, people who attended still talk about what a great party it was!! Every wedding attended since has unsuccessfully been compared to ours! I attribute it's overwhelming success to the wonderful music service you provided and this is why I've been asked to see if you could quote me for my company party. Sept. 2007-Carlee Phair |
