There were over 700 people at our event and I overheard people throughout the night talking about the amazing things he was doing. He managed to keep small groups of people entertained and asking for more! Neil was fantastic about talking beforehand about our event, what we hoped to get out of it and any other things we wanted that night. People are still talking about him, and the event, a week later! I would definitely recommend him for his professionalism and pure talent." Casey N. Baldin Marketing and Strategic Sales, Mesirow Financial "Words cannot express how grateful I am.
