Corporate FunctionReviewed on June 17, 2019From Vancouver, BC

PK3 was a delightful to addition to our corporate reception. The music provided was a perfect compliment to the atmosphere of the evening, and created a classy ambiance for our guests. We had multiple last minute changes to our event, and PK3 was completely understanding and accommodating while they worked with us to ensure everything fell into place. I look forward to working with the group again!
