Ovations Here's what some MAKAIO enthusiasts have had to say: Thank you, thank you! You made our 10th wedding anniversary party a great success!!! We loved the way you led the band from start to finish. The singing was amazing and the steel drum was total class. You transported us back to the Caribbean islands. We love the way you were the master of ceremony and kept the whole event focused and cohesive. There were no ackward gaps. Every one enjoyed the "limbo" dance and laughed with glee as each person was eliminated. The kids really had the best time sliding and crawling under the limbo stick. Thank you for the encouraging words you spoke to us to enjoy the marriage and continue to make God the center of our lives. You led the event with a joyful and happy energy. It was so good to celebrate with you and to talk with you. Thank you so much! Harkins 10th Anniversary "That was PERFECT! EXACTLY WHAT WE WANTED!...You are SOOO TALENTED!
