I have had the pleasure of working with Encore Entertainment the past two years to secure multiple entertainment groups for outdoor drive through events. Not only were we provided with top notch entertainment, but it was done while facing many challenges from a pandemic and University red tape. Thank you, Larry, for being flexible and professional. Much appreciated. Looking forward to the next time we can work together.
Response from the owner: Lori,Thanks to you and your creativity. Some of the options you have suggested were out of the ordinary, but great definitely additions to your event.

We hired a string quartet for our son's wedding. Wedding was last night, and the music was wonderful. Two hours contracted, so we had seating music, ceremony music, and dinner music immediately following the ceremony. Great song repertoire, arrived on time and well prepared. We are very happy. Thank you.
