I can honestly say that Johnny and his crew were simply amazing in every way. He was a consummate professional from start to finish. His communication before and during the event was excellent and as the organiser, he made my job simply easy. His acts were so accommodating, they were flexible and made the night perfect. I would recommend these to anyone.
