Quotes

“Hi Greg. I “met” you (not in person) during your Friday evening performance at the Waiheke Jazz Festival. I live my life on purpose and in the moment, rarely missing a calling / opportunity. However, during your performance I totally froze when you made eye contact, and I could not bring myself to talk to you afterwards. I regret not telling you that your music has moved and inspired me. Thank you for giving of yourself so generously! With best wishes for your future,”

I couldn’t be happier with my decision to entrust my exclusive Gatsby: A Roaring Soiree to Greg Poppleton. The music, the atmosphere, and the professionalism were all exceptional. Everything was perfect and thoughtfully managed.
