Highly Recommended!

I found Andrew Gabriel on the Knot and since the second I emailed him he was accommodating and super helpful. Very easy to work with when choosing songs! He played for my ceremony and cocktail hour and while I was waiting to walk down the isle and I could hear him start to sing, it was truly a breathtaking moment. He was everything that I imagined and could have wished for. Everyone is still talking about how amazing he was and how perfect the songs were. I can't thank him enough for making my wedding so much more special! Highly recommend!

Fantastic!

We highly recommend Andrew to perform at anyone’s event.

We had a small wedding and wanted music for our ceremony and reception that kept that fairytale atmosphere while also being able to have fun and dance. Andrew played at the perfect volume so everyone could talk without having to raise their voices, yet we could all hear the music and dance to it. Andrew provided us with a novel of a songbook he already knew how to play and let us pick out our favorites for the big day. Andrews' voice was beautiful singing all the songs we asked him to learn from Ed Sheeran to Taylor Swift to Caamp. Andrew even went the extra mile to personalize some of the lyrics to fit us as a couple.
All of our guests kept telling us, “This guy is amazing,” and asking, “Where did you find him?”
From the start he was professional, patient, and punctual. He always responded to emails quickly and scheduled phone calls in a timely fashion. We would love to hire Andrew again!

Music to our ears!!! Exceptional

Andrew is pure talent!!! Coupled with professionalism and kindness, he serenaded our guests for over 5 hours creating wonderful entertainment that all are still raving about. His play book is extensive and diverse. The acoustics, his tone and voice and general demeanor were exceptional. My husband is a musician as well and spoke nothing but his admiration for his performance at our wedding.

The Best Part of the Day

We'd wanted a guitarist for the ceremony and cocktail hour to have a very mellow live music addition to the event. After some search, we hired Andrew to play our wedding from only a youtube video and it might have been the best decision we made for that day.

Andrew was in contact with us throughout the almost 2 year delay (thanks, Covid) between booking and the event and gave us great recommendations on songs. We went into the wedding with zero playlists and just told him to play whatever - every song was perfect. We only had one requested song which he waited until we were outside to play, and it was great.

Our guests still talk to us about the guitarist and how amazing cocktail hour was. Out of everything during the day, who knew the best part would be the first hour? Our biggest regret was not keeping him there for the entire day!

You can't go wrong with this man, excellent voice and playing with a wide range. Thank you again, Andrew!

That Extra ‘Something’

Andrew Gabriel is so talented and added that creative and warm touch to our wedding. He was so easy to communicate with from meeting, booking, and going over specific wedding details. He was super self sufficient with equipment and whatever he needed day-of. Our guests loved the ceremony music and cocktail hour. I’d book him for any event in the future!

So special!

I read a review of Andrew and booked immediately after watching his videos (www.andrewgabrielgigs.com). He was one of the vendors I was most excited for for our wedding and he did not disappoint! Andrew played during our ceremony and cocktail hour and they both extra special because of him. He added songs we requested that weren't on his song list and was just so great to work with. Highly recommend!

YES!!!!!!!

We hired Andrew for our ceremony and cocktail hour on 8/15/21. Not only is he incredibly talented (backed by all the wonderful comments from our guests), but he is prompt, courteous, and professional. He is also responsive, which made planning a cinch. Could not ask for more and would recommend!

Andrew Gabriel Guitar

I cannot say enough great things about Andrew! We had Andrew play instrumental songs at our ceremony and vocals with guitar at our cocktail hour, it was so absolutely perfect. We got so many compliments from guests on how great he sounded and he gave a large list of songs to choose from so it felt very personalized. Andrew is such a talented performer and an all around amazing vendor to have at your wedding! 💕

Andrew played and sang during our ceremony and cocktail hour and was amazing - he is incredibly talented and we heard so many compliments about him from our guests. He was one of the highlights of our wedding. He was super flexible and easy to work with and we would highly recommend him to anyone getting married (or for any occasion)!
