ROCK-N-RON since 1993, I am pleased to say that he is truly a professional whom I refer to my clients and other affiliates. He is poised and has a great demeanor! Ron has worked with us on countless events, always a polished and poised entertainer and master-of-ceremonies. Ron is also able to "get down" and create a carefree atmosphere for events with a more relaxed atmosphere, like Barbeques, Picnics, Fiestas, etc. Ron is able to control a room, keeping events on an "even keel", without being rude or overbearing. He seems to know exactly what the client needs. He is prompt, well prepared and extremely dependable. Ron has never let us down. We are well pleased to have him on our team! Cindy Marshall, Catering Manager, ANCHORAGE HILTON HOTEL Dear ROCK-N-RON: THANK YOU VERY MUCH! I just wanted to let you know that Mike & I were extremely pleased with your services at our wedding & reception on July 11 of this year. You went far above and beyond what I had expected of you! I was thoroughly amazed! I was expecting a D.J. that just played music and only did what we said. Instead you were right out there making suggestions and helped keep the whole wedding right on –track! Because of your guidance and coordination with our pastor, I was much more at ease than I could have thought possible. My son wanted me to let you know that he really liked what you wore. He said you looked "cool"! Thank you once again for the excellent service! Sincerely, Roberta Soolook, Newlywed. ...read more
