Shawn brought so much magic to our ceremony!

Shawn is a master at his craft! Shawn played our ceremony music and it just tied everything together so magically. The sound was impeccable, and he was SO professional! He was such a delight & easy vendor to work with, despite 3 date changes due to COVID. We never had the chance to meet prior to the wedding day because we were out of state, but I had zero worries or stress about that. Thank you, Shawn for bringing even more romance & emotion to our wedding than we thought possible!

Excellent Job!

Shawn Boucke truly made my clients wedding day magical with his musical talents! From the early planning stages, his clear communication and willingness to accommodate their preferences stood out. Shawn expertly guided them through selecting the perfect music for their special day, offering valuable insights and examples that made the process seamless. On the wedding day, Shawn's performance was nothing short of phenomenal, captivating all our guests with his skill and creating a truly enjoyable atmosphere.

Overall, I highly recommend Shawn Boucke for any event where you want to elevate the ambiance with live music. We genuinely hope to have the opportunity to work with him again in the future for another memorable occasion. Thank you, Shawn, for contributing to the perfect day!

If you're looking for wedding ceremony music, look no further!

We recently hired Shawn to play at our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour and he was incredible to work with! From our initial consultation where he played a few songs for us over Zoom, to the wedding day itself, Shawn was professional and very easy to work with. His packages are straight forward and inclusive - he doesn't try to nickel and dime you for every little thing. He handled both the music as well as the audio equipment (speakers and mics), as neither our venue and band offered these as options for the ceremony. He also arrived early to make sure everything was set up and working properly and even played a few songs for my husband and I during our first looks - it was like our own private concert! Overall, we would recommend Shawn a million times over!

We love working with Shawn! He's always our first choice recommendation because he represents our high standards and guarantee of client/customer satisfaction. Shawn is very accommodating, easy to work with, and very flexible. If you want a phenomenal musical experience, hire Shawn Boucke.

The Iroquois Club The Iroquois Club Banquet Halls

We had the pleasure of listening to Shawn's beautiful music twice in one weekend - at a wedding where he performed for their ceremony, and also at our bridal show that we hosted. He is a wonderful person to work with - easy-going, really listens to people, and he plays beautiful music. I'm sure other couples will be hiring him though, so I'm looking forward to seeing him perform at The Iroquois Club again soon!

Shawn played for the ceremony of a wedding I shot and his music was so beautiful I would have hired him for my wedding. He is so professional and does an amazing job. I would refer any brides to him.
