Thank you to Mason for his lovely set, it was a real joy to have him play for my friend's wedding. Mason is very easy to communicate with, friendly and a true professional. Mason plays very well and fulfilled some changes to the set a day before the wedding. He improvised and made the songs work which added to the relaxed ambiance of the cocktail hour. Thanks again Mason!

Me and my wife just wanted to thank you so much for your performance. Everybody loved your performance with the string quartet and then with the Zaffa drummers. My dad was particularly impressed with your playing style and because his sister is a concert pianist and he also knows a bit about jazz and he's a tough man to impress. Nazish is planning on doing an instagram thank you to everyone involved in the wedding once she gets some of the professional imagery. Please let me know if you have an Instagram handle I can pass onto her. Thanks again Cameran and Nazish
