What others have said:

"Thank you for being a key component in making our wedding so fantastic. When picking a musician for our wedding, we wanted someone who could capture the mood and love we have for each other, but as well as all the ppl that were there. You not only did both, but brought something else to the night that didn’t go unnoticed by us or our guests. You’re truly incredible, talented and kind. The ambiance and atmosphere your music created was utter perfection. We are happy to refer you to everyone we know and any strangers that may ask. There are not enough words to truly thank you again: you were such a key part in our wedding evening being so beautiful." - Jon & Rachel Boutilier, San Tan Valley, AZ 6/18/22

"We looked at websites and listened to solo violinists, guitarists, and harps, but couldn’t find anything that we liked that sounded good on its own. In order to get the sound we wanted, we realized we would have to book at least two musicians. Luckily, we came across Michael Kollwitz with his Chapman Stick!" - Ryan & Taryn Cherico, S. Salt Lake City, UT
