"Dear [Member Name Removed], I just noticed you reviewed me for a service that I did not provide. When you requested a person to perform with balloon animals, I responded that I do not provide that service, but as a courtesy, referred you to another local talent agency that handles that. I aim for top grades (all A's) in the review department, so if you would be so kind please delete your review of me (since I did not provide serve to you) and instead please review the person who provided you service. This person has no connection to me our my services. Thank you! Sincerely, Don Strong p.s. the original Angie's email message is below: Message from Member [Member Name Removed] 6/19/2015 Hello Do you make balloon animals?

Don did a superb job of coordinating and selecting music for both the reception and dance. He is very professional. Don met with me beforehand to go over the details and then documented our agreement in a contract which I appreciated.
At the reception, Don provided background music which was a selection of cool jazz and easy listening melodies while the guests gathered in the reception hall and during dinner. The music was perfect, creating a festive atmosphere, and the guests were complimentary about the music.
For the wedding dance, Don had an absolutely terrific dance band that played a selection of music from every decade. The guests danced into the evening until after 11pm.
Overall the experience was excellent. Good music, professionally managed, and reasonably priced.

Terrific!!! I found Don Strong and Company on Angie's List and after reading the positive reviews contacted Don about performing at our daughter and son in law's wedding. Don was very easy to work with, always responding to my calls and texts. He listened to my requests and offered suggestions. Don's Duo performance was a great addition to the reception and dinner. Throughout the evening we heard many compliments about their performance. If we have the opportunity to have another family wedding Don will be on my list of contacts

"Thanks for the great review [member name removed]. It was a real pleasure to play for your family and freinds! I just wanted to add (for the benefit of Angies customers) that for your event we had a two-piece band that included a saxophonist."

Don Strong arrived to the event early to discuss with me the set up location & type of music & audience. He played back ground music that was excellent. The noise level was perfect. The audience could hear the music & also talk comfortably among themselves. Many guest requested his business card for future events that they were having. All guests thoroughly enjoyed his music. Highly recommended.

His performance went off without a hitch. He is a talented musician and his soft jazz was the perfect backdrop for an evening of socializing and conversation. We were very pleased.

"This event was a special performance for The Emily Program-- a MN non-for-profit mental health service organization that specializes in treating people with eating disorders. Don Strong Productions occasionally will do benefit or reduced rate performances for worthy, non-profit organizations and causes."

Don was great!
He started around 7:00 PM and played through midnight with few breaks. He's entertaining, talented, and personable. He interacts well with guests, will play special requests, does vocals as well as just instrumental. Don's music is not too loud or offending. He's often compared to Michael Franks, Harry Connick Jr., Michael Buble, and guitarist Wes Montgomery, Don Strong?s signature sound is recommended for mellowing out, conversation, and relaxing with with good friends, good food & good wine!
I highly recommend him!
