Flawlessly amazing!

There are not enough words to describe how wonderful he is. Do yourself a favor and just hire him! He was a highlight of not only cocktail hour, but our entire wedding. Our guests raved about him for days after and our wedding planner reached out promptly to hire him for her other couples. This style of guitar is difficult, and he is tremendously skilled at it. Flawless delivery and an absolute professional. He'll always wow your guests with his rendition of classic and modern songs!

An amazing musician! Really added to our wedding!

We hired Chris to play during the ceremony and cocktail hour of our wedding. All we can say is WOW!

If you are looking to add the element of live instrumental music to your wedding, Chris is your guy. He is very talented and you can hear the lyrics through his chord progressions. All of our guests thought he was amazing and really added a special element to our wedding.

Chris’s pricing is super fair for his talent and from the second we met with him over Zoom to discuss the vision of the wedding, he was a professional. Highly recommend Chris for your wedding.

Romantic, fun, and everything in between

Chris's guitar music infused our ceremony and reception with so much elegance, ethereal romance, and fun! We had an outdoor wedding, and his style and musical taste was perfect for our setting. His music and presence fit so seamlessly. Everyone enjoyed him walking around (it felt like being serenaded). We got so many compliments about Chris from our guests, even our caterers and vendors were impressed! There are many parts of this experience that were exceptional, including Chris's flexibility, his song selections, and his musical talent, but what I loved most was his personality. He was very laid back and easy going, and at the same time very friendly and warm. Working with him was such a breeze, and his music made our wedding day so magical.
