Review by Kevin S.

Cocktail PartyReviewed on October 8, 2011From Erie, PA

Hug McKinney was awesome! He is a great performer. He made our party very special and memorable. He is very professional and his interaction with my guests was top notch. I highly recommend him and I am sure we will be using him again in the future.
