• April 26, 2019Paul was great, my guests were happy with his work but wished they had more time with him (unfortunately we just didn’t have more time). He arrived in advance of time to get set up and prior to the event we shared several communication and Paul was very accommodating to our needs. I would definitely use him again and would recommend him to others
