Testimonials

"Taylor was outstanding! He was polite and pleasant when I introduced myself and I knew my celebration was in good hands. He played fun music and the lights added a club vibe, which is what I wanted. He was also able to pivot when I spoke on the mic and also when my friends and clients gave speeches celebrating me for my birthday. His variety of music was amazing! He played for us current, such as Bad Bunny and also other tunes, such as La Bamba. All my friends had a great time, I was receiving texts for a week after my celebration of what a great time everyone had at my celebration. I will definitely use SGM Events again and request Taylor. THANK YOU TAYLOR for being such an important part of my 50th birthday!"
