VANHATTAN TESTIMONIALS
"Without Dave, the event would never have been the success it was. Having his beautiful music created the ambiance that took us to the next level. It turned what could have simply been an industry networking event into a true party and celebration. As soon as he stopped playing you could feel the vibe in the room shift. I also sincerely appreciated his ability to read the room and ensure everyone could chat comfortably and not have to strain to hear or shout over the music. He was absolutely perfect!!
Thank you all for helping our event be such a memorable occasion! Shannon and Kelly, you made everything so easy for me. I’ll be sharing your contacts with all of my network as many host multiple events each year."

"Kelly Brock is not only a talented performer and vocalist with the band Dr. Strangelove, she miraculously confirmed a band for my event with less than a weeks notice! They were full of talent and Kelly was able to meet my required budget! Kelly truly is a professional, it pays to work with someone who has multiple options"

Please convey our sincere thank-you to The Wells Family for sharing their dances and music with us at our event. Throughout the remaining days of the conference, many attendees expressed how much they enjoyed, were impressed by, and deeply moved by their performance and the explanations of the meanings behind each dance. It was both very enjoyable and educational for us all!

The YPO Vancouver Committee and I worked closely with Kelly and her team at VanHattan Entertainment on our recent YPO member event.

A few years ago Kelly Brock helped me organize an amazing show for the YPO Canadian Conference when it was held in Vancouver. She brought in multiple entertainers including Dr Strangelove, Neil Osborne (54-40), Darby Mills (Headpins), Bill Henderson (Chilliwack), Craig Northey (ODDS), Al Harlow (Prism) and Lee Aaron. Kelly was great to work with and I highly recommend her!

"We wanted to take a moment to extend a heartfelt thank you for all of your incredible support over the past six months. Your partnership with us throughout the planning of our conference made a huge difference, and we are so grateful to you for all your help in our search to find the right talent fits for each event. From the very beginning, you provided us with a fantastic range of entertainment options and answered every single one of our (many!) questions.
We’d also like to offer a very special thank you to Alex Wells for his incredible performance at our Opening Breakfast session. It’s hard enough to move with that much coordination and balance- especially first thing in the morning! He created a moment of connection and energy that set the perfect tone to start the day’s sessions, and we are very grateful to him for sharing his talents with us.
Thank you both for playing such an important role in the overall success of our conference. We look forward to working with you again the next time we’re in town!"

Kelly is absolutely wonderful to work with! She is extremely well connected in the entertainment industry, and has always come through with the best recommendations of talent for us to have perform at BC Cancer Foundation events. Any genre of performer or act we are in search of, Kelly has someone she can send us! Her band, Dr. Strangelove, has also been the long time dance band for our Gala's after party. They keep guests dancing into the night. I would highly recommend working with Kelly!

"I LOVED working with Easy Street and all of our guests and clients were thrilled with them as well. For a small group of 18 there were sing alongs and even dance. They were the perfect fit for this group! Dave and Annie are super talented, professional and easy to work with. I sincerely look forward to working with them again soon."

"It was a pleasure to work with VanHattan Entertainment who lined up 54-40, Amanda Wood & Rosemary Siemens. The entertainment was absolutely perfect, and a pleasure to have as a part of our special weekend. I know that Anthony Von Mandl of Mission Hill Winery was very impressed by VanHattan Entertainment. I fully expect that as they plan future events, these talented musicians will be top of mind.
I look forward to our next opportunity!!"

"The consummate professional, Kelly is a joy to work with. She was very quick to zero in on the vibe I was looking for and she brought a great assortment of excellent talent to me to choose from. Her extensive experience as an entertainer gives her insight that other booking agents just don't have. Kelly rolls with all kinds of special requests and is very upfront about feasibility and viability. I feel like she's got my back in negotiations. If you're looking for a well-connected expert that brings live entertainment knowledge to the table, don't hesitate to call VanHattan Entertainment!"
