We honestly couldn't have loved him more. Ruben was the BEST. Everyone raved about him and was a little sad when it was over. SO reasonably priced, SO sweet and incredibly talented. He had a vast list of songs to choose from and nailed them all. He brought such a fun, lively presence to our cocktail hour. You MUST book him!!
