Lance Shofer
Howard Collins Entertainment was absolutely wonderful! Communication with Howard prior to the event was outstanding and nothing was left to chance. On the day, the band setup 2 hours early and they were so easy to work with. Our function centre had an afternoon tea party with 120 guests and they all loved the band and danced their feet off. Howard adjusted his playlist based on the demographic of the audience and the event was a huge success. Thank you so much Howard and the band! More...
