easily made the adjustments we needed. During dinner, she reminded me to take a break from all the guests and eat, because she knew I didn't get a chance to yet. Her attitude also was caring and accommodating the entire time. She definitely knew how to get the guests up and dancing! Everyone had a blast and I'd hire her again and again.

for an extra two hours with only one day notice. She played perfect music, and had us dancing all night. She was able to pick up the vibes in the room and adapt to keep the flow going. I also love that she got family members to do a soul train line (my husbands family is very timid, and they even joined in). All in all she was very professional, understanding, and helped to make my wedding a day to remember. We only paid $600 for 6 hours, and she was worth her weight in gold.
We really are so thankful we used Simply Royal Entertainment! Everything just flowed so well. She really kept the atmosphere fun and everyone engaged!!! Would definitely recommend ...
