Appraisals

I am the assistant manager of Vodka Revolution in Richmond, surrey, and had the responsibility of organising our new years eve themed night this year 2009! I searched on Google for Oscars theme entertainment and came across CR Events after extensive research I found this company to be very competitive on pricing, and the customer service was second to none! i had decided on an Oscars themed night and after discussing my budget with Christopher, he came back with a brilliant package! I had 2 fake paparazzi on the front door as the guests arrived which were outstanding and really gave a great buzz as the guests queued to get in! Awaiting the pictures that you get with them. I also had 2 body painted male Oscar statues which really got the girls excited! lol and a Marilyn Monroe statue! She was amazing and scared a lot of people when she moved, as she was so professional! thanks to you all for making my night such a great success!!! I was so impressed with the professionalism and service that I have now recommended this company to the head office of vodka revolution and they will now be one of our companies every revolution bar across the UK, will use for any future entertainment. Thanks again! For pictures please visit us on 'Vodka Revolution Richmond' on facebook!

Dear Chris and Team,
'It's a Knockout' was a fantastic team building event for our Alliance & Leicester staff and we raised lots of money for a very worthy charity. Thank you for helping us to organise such a successful day - everyone involved had so much fun and we hope to make this an annual event.

Dear Chris, Jon, Gary, Andy and Alex
Firstly, it has been super having you onboard throughout the summer and thank you for the shows on each cruise. It's very important to offer a great variety within our overall youth programme and your concerts and rock school have certainly assisted greatly to prove this. I trust you have also enjoyed your time with us and very much look forward to seeing you again soon. its been a pleasure having you onboard.

Dear All,
Many thanks for all your help and support to the recent Officers' Mess Summer Ball on 25 July 09, themed 'Desert Adventures'. Once again you provided excellent performers who didn't disappoint, the band 'young Guns' in particular were outstanding. Flexible and professional, the quality of all members was better than expected and I wouldn't hesitate to hire them or recommend them to others in the future. It truly was a 'Celebration'!!! A fantastic night, made all the better by Young Guns.

Hi Chris
Just a short note to thank you for providing such great entertainment. The Steel pan duo were really good; professional, friendly, with a good range of modern and traditional music. All my guests were very complimentary. Please pass on my thanks to the group. I will certainly be coming back again in the future. There were one or two showers on the night, but I had taken the opportunity of putting up two large gazebos, so no one got wet. The evening gradually cleared, although dull, but overall a resounding success. Kind regards

Dear Christopher,
As I am sure you know we organised our Its A Knockout staff event through you in early October - and what a fantastic night we had. From start to finish CR Events were fantastic. We knew what was happening when, who to contact about what and if we had any questions you were always at the other end of the phone. The team who arrived on the day were professional, friendly and very very supportive. The equipment was first rate and all at a good price. I can honestly say the organisation of the event was so much easier thanks to CR Events. An excellent night was had by participants and spectators alike. Thank you to everyone for helping to make the night such a fantastic success. It was brilliant and a credit to your agency. Thanks again

The children (and the Mums) had a fantastic time and the client was very pleased with the outcome of the evening. Geoff was wonderful in his role as Santa and as a person. He was very professional, kind and a pleasure to be with. Please will you pass on these comments to his agent as it was a delight working with him and certainly hope there will be more opportunities in the future. Thanks again & Merry Christmas!

Hi Christopher
Your band Young Guns performed for us at our wedding reception at longford house in cannock, staffordshire on 13th December 2008 along side Jed Stone the comedian who you also recommended through your agency. We promised that we would send you some feed back, so here it is...again sorry its taken so long! In our opinion your band and Jed stone gave us the best night of our lives, better than we could have ever expected. Jed was extremely entertaining and interacted with our guests superbly, picking on them perfectly! Also the music you played live was faultless and got every one on the dance floor - Almost all of our guests asked where we found you as they also thought your band Young Guns and Jed Stone were brilliant! Not one person in the room wanted the night to end, you "made the day" for us and we wanted to thank you for your hard work and effort on the night-you have been highly recommended to all of our friends and family! Thanks again

Just wanted to send you a quick email to say how much everybody enjoyed our event last weekend with Leslie Gibson as the entertainment - everybody thought he was a fantastic impressionist and our Chief Executive has even said he would like to book him for another event we are holding next year so he must have been really impressed!! Leslie really did cater for people of ages and involved our employees in his act. So thanks very much, & hopefully you'll be hearing from us again next year! Kind regards,

Hi Christopher
I just wanted to email you and say a huge thank you for organising both Sounds Acoustic and Elvis for our wedding on the 26th of August at Ullesthorpe Court Hotel. The guitars gave us a really good background music during the wedding ceremony and also during the reception whilst Elvis gave us the "wow" factor and really got the party started in the evening. Both acts were really professional and were commented on by many of the guests. Thanks again and please be assured if anyone wants any entertainment for forthcoming events I'll be sure to give them your details ! Thanks and regards
