To many drunk, homeless and probably drugs going on. We had to call security to get out of the city hall parking garage because someone slept right behind the gate and didn't even move when the gate opened... Sorry Calgary, you have a serious issue...

We travelled from America to attend my uncle's graduation on June 22, 2023 at 2pm. As we were…read moreleaving the venue, my mom and i were going down the escalator and the Indian lady who was in charge of controlling who was going into the escalator didn't let me go on DESPITE my multiple times saying that "THAT'S MY MOM" and she pushed my hand off the railing. Yet, she let people go in before me with their mom and they were the same race as her. Staff needs better training and better interpersonal skills and needs to learn to treat guests especially who come for a graduation out of the country better and not physically. Horrible experience because of this and i'm disappointed such a distinguished college chose this place for a graduation.

Antonio spent some 3 hours today tuning my 65+ year old Harmonic piano which had been neglected…read morefor a number of years and was sounding rather tinny! I couldn't be more pleased with how personable and courteous Antonio was and how obviously dedicated to his craft he is. He is very well versed in all makes of pianos and a perfectionist at his job. I really appreciated his coming to my country home and his extremely reasonable rate for his service. I will definitely call him again next time and strongly recommend him to anyone needing their piano tuned. Carol U.

I can recommend Rosati Piano Services without hesitation. Our Yamaha piano had been neglected for…read moremany years, but Antonio was able to bring it back into fine condition . This required a number of minor repairs and a lot of time (almost three hours) on his part. Despite this effort, he was happy to take additional time to explain the inner workings of the piano and some of the intricacies involved in getting the tuning to hold. All of this for his already very economical flat fee. He is clearly dedicated to his craft and eager to get the instrument into the best possible condition for his client. Thank you Antonio.

One of my staff was recently married by Bruce in an outdoor setting. I have to say that it was the…read morebest wedding I have ever been to.

Bruce Adlington was our marriage commissioner and he did such a wonderful job for us at our…read morewedding. Everything was very smooth from initial phone calls all the way to the day of. He took the time to really get a good feel for us and our relationship and he was a soothing presence when we got very emotional at the altar. He has just the right amounts of soothing presence, humor and command of the room to be a wonderful commissioner. I've been to many weddings and I've seen some commissioners that are to cold, to impersonal, to humorous, to serious, to quiet or too much the center of attention that it distracted but Bruce was just right. He even had a top hat in his closet which matched our theme very well and we were delighted he offered to wear it for us. Even though we had a small wedding, I know he booked another wedding because my aunt raved to her friend about how good he was at ours (and when would that normally happen?) He let us customize the ceremony. He e-mailed us his generic and then let us write in things. He then would put it into his own words to make it flow. I found when I got his generic ceremony it was already without many of the yucky parts I wanted to remove.. like the whole obey things. eww. We didn't make a lot of changes because I already liked it, but we did add some special parts and that all went smoothly. He also gave us a decorative print out of the ceremony which was nice. Some things I would recommend: We had a small wedding that was accoustically alive and I was still greatful for the ceremony being amplified with microphones. Bruce has his own system that can be used for this. Bruce's wife is a harpist and I never would have thought we'd hire a ceremony musician but I'm glad I did after experiencing the frustrations of prerecorded music at the reception. Jan of Avalon Harp and Bruce have done this together so often the music and the ceremony just flowed well through all the transitions and sounds wonderful on the video. Bruce kind of sold us on thinking about it and we are glad we booked them together. Although we had a ceremony at a venue, he has a nice yard he uses for small weddings at his home which is something that might interest some people. I would certainly encourage anyone getting married to give him a call if you're looking for a marriage commissioner.

Their vocalist, Emma, is absolutely unreal, she has the most beautiful voice! I highly recommend adding Occasional Notes to any event!
