Raphael performed at our company Christmas party in front of approx 100 guests and he was absolutely brilliant. Not only an amazing talented singer but his interaction with the crowd was excellent.

I originally saw Raphael performing at my work Xmas party last year and I was so impressed that I hired him to sing at my wedding. He didn't disappoint. He did an amazing job at entertaining our guests. Very happy!

I just want to take this opportunity to thank you again for performing at our wedding. A great time was had by all and I will never forget how beautifully you sang our first dance. Will you perform at our anniversary?
