We were lucky enough to have Ed recommended for our musician. He was very friendly and excited when we first spoke with him to arrange a meeting. Once we met him in person, we were hooked. His enthusiasm is infectious and his talent is amazing! He plays a wide range of instruments - he brought a guitar, violin, and mandolin to the meeting with him. My husband showed him the banjo he had played as a kid and Ed started to play that as well! (Yes, he plays better than my husband!) Not only that, it seems his repertoire is endless. We were throwing out suggestions - from classical to Sinatra to the Beatles - and he would just start playing them on whatever instrument he had in hand. He had spectacular ideas and suggestions. He actually put together a timeline to assist our planners that showed the cues, which wedding party member would walk to what song, and the order for our ceremony. The planners were quite impressed and that's what we used as the guideline for our entire ceremony. Our officiant was late, but that did not phase Ed, he made sure everything went off without a hitch. He played beautifully and played whatever instrument best suited the songs we chose - both with and without backing tracks. It MADE the ceremony. He then moved his instruments to the reception area and strolled among our guests while playing our favorite songs. He truly is a "Strolling Musician" and so much more. He felt like part of the family. We loved working with him and would recommend him to anyone wanting beautiful music at their event or anyone just wanting to meet a talented, great guy. If you're reading this - thanks for everything Ed, the ceremony couldn't have been as wonderful without you.
