Alysha and Mike, On behalf of Robyn, my wife, and Ethan, our son, and Mary, our party planner, I wanted to thank you both for taking our Bar Mitzvah party to the next level. Mike’s performance as the LED Robot brought an extraordinary and wonderful energy to the party that lasted throughout the night. The “Wow Factor” continues today.
Just this morning, I spoke to a guest who said, “I was not going to pass on the opportunity to dance with an awesome, 8-foot robot!!!! What a party!!!” We are so happy and thankful that Mike “lit up” our event. Most importantly, seeing the joy that Mike brought to Ethan’s face is a memory we will never forget. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

Hi Alysha,
Thank you for sending such professionals to our event last Saturday at Porsche! The performers and their assistants were wonderful to work with and provided the exact element of entertainment we were hoping for…they definitely added the ‘wow’ factor to set the stage at the entrance of our event.
You have been great to work with, thanks! I will definitely refer if something comes up and we will keep you in mind for future Richtone events.
Thanks Alysha! Also, thank you SO much again for LMU, your entertainers absolutely killed it. Highlight of the night.

Hi Alysha, We wanted to say THANK YOU again for all the love and hard work you dedicated to our Multi-Cloud Live Musical Opening.
Here’s added thanks from the client on behalf of the Multi-Cloud Team
We couldn’t be happier with how the Multicloud Super Session turned out last week at Cisco IMPACT and wanted to send a special thank you to you both as well as to the entire Tencue team that helped create such a successful event for us.
The opening musical number was an amazing way to kick off the session. It was fun, full of energy, and the incredible vocals, dancing, flips, and props really helped us engage the audience with a strong start. Please extend our thanks to the team of choreographers, singers, and dancers for really helping bring our session to life.
We also wanted to thank the entire production team and onsite crew. The team did a wonderful job of managing all of the different parts of our session including speakers, video, demo, and our panel session. We appreciate all your efforts over the months leading up to Cisco IMPACT and your support and guidance onsite during the event.
We know there were many people involved in our project. Please extend our thanks to anyone we might have missed. Looking forward to working with the Tencue team next year!”
THANKS AGAIN for taking our creative vision and making it into a fantastical singing, dancing magical opening…wow!
We look forward to working with you again soon — Terry & Tencue Team
