Fabulous acoustic guitarist and amazing wedding vendor

We were so excited that Ben was available to play acoustic guitar during our wedding ceremony on 11/8/24. His portfolio was great and he also learned a new song that we wanted for the bridal processional. He was super communicative, reasonable, and professional from our first conversation. On our wedding day, he arrived early and made sure the sound was perfect. We are really thankful to Ben for making our ceremony exactly what we wanted!

Wedding, October 2023

Ben was very communicative, responsive and detailed in preparation for our event. On the day of he arrived and set up well ahead of time, giving us much peace of mind. We really appreciated his skills and talent with our selection of modern and classic songs. His professionalism was clear, as was his ability to improvise and adjust when things went slightly off of our initial plans. His music enhanced our event and helped create the great atmosphere we were hoping for. Our guests and us really enjoyed the music in the prelude, during the ceremony and during cocktail hour. Highly recommended!
