Festival Fun
“I have used Nathan’s services for three years, at both the Westmoreland Arts & Heritage Festival and Penn Township Fall Festival. Nathan has been terrific to work with. His understanding of dealing with crowds of all sizes, an eager attitude to engage people and a smooth delivery are traits that many people only wished they had. It is my pleasure to recommend Nathan.” Michael H Ginsburg, Events Chairman
Dedicated Duty
“The Town Crier contributions were well-received by our visitors at the Bedford’s Fall Foliage Festival. His authentic garb lent credibility to the persona. Nathanial was a smart fit in our quaint historic town. His dedication to the role of a town crier was impressive and his professionalism was genuinely appreciated.” Kim Budnick, Entertainment Coordinator
Professional
“As a celebration of the arrival of spring, our annual Colonial Mayfair event has lots of activities and events happening throughout the day. I was so impressed with Nathanial's professionalism, preparedness (he knew all the times of shows, games, and events across the grounds), alongside his friendliness towards every person at the fair. His work not only logistically helped the program move smoothly but also added an element of excitement as kids eagerly listened to his calls about what event was happening next. Alongside interpreting the duties of a historic town crier, he eagerly shared the history of the job with curious visitors which set him apart.” Ann Mumenthaler, Museum Educator

Memory Maker
“Here ye Here ye, if you are looking for a class act town crier for your event, then look no further. My historic courthouse wedding was complete when Nathanial arrived to welcomed guests. From his period dress, his prior-to the event communication and his friendly personality, Nathanial offers a professional service that does not disappoint. He was accommodating and made sure our last minute booking flowed like it had been planned for a year.
I cannot thank him enough for the memories he helped make for our ceremony and our guests!” -Emily F., Bride
Communication Composer
“Nathanial can expertly handle any kind of verbal communication role that he is hired for. I have known Nathaniel for several years as a friend, and as an employer and have witnessed Nathaniel in action as a Town Crier. His attention to detail is amazing. He studies the venue and adjusts his clothing to period attire to make the role stand out. He communicates information to the general public and has become one of the theatrical attractions at the festival with a wonderful character that people of all ages connect with. He has a certain ambiance and personality that fits well into any role he takes on. He is also a gifted speaker and an asset to have around which is why I hired Nathaniel to be our Emcee for our main stage acts. Nathaniel did an excellent job and put his personality into the role. His voice is loud and clear and what you might call radio quality. He is a wonderful match for any kind of communications where speaking is involved. When you hire Nathaniel, the skys the limit. He will give you 125 percent effort.”
Susan Borowski, Entertainment Director
