Mario was well organised and personable. He delivered a reAlly fun and enjoyable masterclass for 20 which went down with guests brilliantly. He pitched the event right for the group of guests ( age range 21-55 mixed group who did not know one another). It was a great icebreaker for the start of the party and everyone had fun. Thank you Mario.

He was so amenable and helpful, responding quickly to my requests and questions and making me feel much more relaxed about what I was trying to pull off. He was super responsive via phone, email and WhatsApp and after some back and fort…
