"I
just wanted to let you know that Russell was a huge success on Sunday!
Our friends have since told us they have not stopped talking about
the evening to other people. Russell threw himself perfectly into
the role of waiter and we managed to keep everything secret until
the very last minute, then our friends were just so surprised when
he started to sing. He performed our requested songs brilliantly
– and entertained us really well. Thank you both so much again for
making our dinner party so memorable. I would have no hesitation
in recommending Russell to anyone else considering hiring him!" - Wishing you both the very best, Judy |
