Perfect Day

Dinner Jazz Duo were there on time and set up, they were extremely professional, they communicated well, they were more than accommodating (learnt a new song), the guests loved them and their play list was just perfect for the occasion. There was nothing that we would have changed. In summary they couldn't have done any more to add to our perfect day. Would recommend them to anybody.
