I have had the pleasure of working with Craig Sherwood of All Stars Music for over 12 years... Craig has worked personally with dozens of Rotunda patrons-always with great success...
I plan on working with All Stars Music well into the future.

Another successful group of parties thanks to your services. Friday night's trio was wonderful. Saturday night's group was great-getting everyone dancing! I look forward to calling you again-when I need a specific type of group you always come through.

All of us at Jessica McClintock have enjoyed the performances of Craig Sherwood's All Stars Music and Entertainment for over five years... we highly recommend them for any event where wonderful entertainment will be included. Many thanks for the music at our annual holiday party. The party was a great success.

I am writing to let you know how pleased we were with The All Stars Mini Swing Band which played at our annual Margulis Society Gala. The band was extremely professional in their dealings with Green Room management, which was appreciated by not only me, but the manager of the Green Room who was on-site that evening.

I have been working with Craig Sherwood for the past 3 years, because he always does such an exceptional job. The Band is always properly attired in Tuxedos at our weddings, which goes well with the mood of the Event. When brides choose Craig to handle their music, I never have to worry. He is always so accommodating to the Bride and Groom.

Thank you for the All Stars participation in the Association's Eureka Boat Dinner and Boat Festival. Both events were an enormous success due in large part to the fine entertainment. These were the first events of this scale by the Association and we were rather nervous about the details, particularly the music. I feel very lucky to have found such a reliable company.
