Last Minute Elopement

In planning a wedding in 7 days, Alexey jumped in and made our job very easy. The music was fantastic, he is a very talented musician and can perform a wide array of music genres.

Very professional and highly talented

He was on time and played beautifully. The bride and groom had an extensive classical and modern song list to choose from. I would definitely recommend him to family and friends. He shares with you videos of his performances so you can hear him before you book him. so good
