"Laz is so talented that he can masterfully orchastrate any event. My son's wedding was "wedding of the year" in Bethesda Magazine and Laz was certainly one of the reasons why it was so successful. He provided the music for both the ceremony at the church and the reception at our home. He is delightful, courteous, and engaging young man who is remarkably gifted at what he does! We would hire him again in a heartbeat!" - Tamara D.

"We had NO idea how amazing they would be... They had every person on the dance floor the entire night, across all ages. More than once I saw groups of people run screaming to the dance floor to sing their hearts out and dance. They made our night perfect - been to dozens of weddings and never seen anything this entertaining, even better than a band"

-Amy K.
