Hi Allen,
Thank you for all you did for our wedding last Saturday! I only got to enjoy your music as I walked down the aisle because I was taking photos the rest of the cocktail hour. Thank you for being so easy to work with and being okay with my last minute requests.
You helped make our wedding a memorable event!
Amy

We recently hired Allen and his band for our wedding. We were extremely happy with his help in making our wedding special. His help with the recorded music for the ceremony, and ‘emcee' efforts were great! The music and dancing was lots of fun, and we were impressed he even could play live our first dance. a little known Spanish song from 2003. . We'd highly recommend using Allen for anyone planning an upcoming wedding event!

I would like to recommend Allen Fredrick as musician for all of your event functions. He was our pianist/guitarist/vocalist at both our wedding ceremony and reception. Allen brought class, elegance and sophistication to our special day and would have been insipid. His amount of professionalism is superb and communication skills are excellent. Allen hit the nail on the head with his playlist in which he suggested that entertained a broad of age group ranging from 3 year olds, to my grandmother which is 94 years old! He is able to follow and
execute each and every task assigned to him on schedule. Allen was more than willing to help and guide us with event planning and timeline. He was accommodating and cooperatively worked along with our Deejay, wedding coordinators, officiant, etc.. He had many great ideas which prodigiously added class and charm to our event. He would be an asset to any event function. Till this very day, all of my guest are complimenting me for choosing such a wonderful artist. I highly recommend Allen Frederick for all of your entertainment needs since he is dependable, honest, and professional.
Sincerely,
Daniel Pham
