You delivered as promised, arriving for set up at the scheduled time. The Planning Committee has been receiving very positive reviews from the staff. In fact, we have been told that this has been the best of the three such events we have held, and it was attributable in large part to the part played by you – appropriate music, efficient and effective equipment, and your professional demeanor. Again, thank you for the quality service we received – even going beyond the scope of your engagement. You may rest assured that I will be recommending you within my network.
