I really appreciate your talent and ability to produce beautiful music, and I will be recommending you to my friends that are getting married in the future. Thank you for listening to exactly what we wanted and for carrying our wishes out. It couldn’t have gone any better than it did. Again, thank you so much! -Philip and Allison
