- Wonderful performance. First time I got to experience a Candlelight Concert and it was absolutely worth it. Will have to go to another themed event soon!
- Amazing from beginning to end. The valet folks are so sweet, helpful, and efficient. The venue is great, restaurant was high end yumminess with great servers, the musicians we saw: fantastic! I can’t say enough. I feel very fortunate to have something like this in my home town. Thank you!
- Lovely evening
- Amazing
- Loved it! The DISI amp’d quartet were inspiring performing the Lord of The Rings and Game of Thrones scores. The candles paired with the music was magical.
