Shagzy was brilliant! I booked him for my wedding to play the bridal entry song and to entertain during our reception. The atmosphere changed, the moment he started playing. It was like the room lit up. He was able to entertain a multi-national audience by playing different genres. His presence at the wedding reception really made the difference. He stood out and all my guests loved him!
