Professional and Artistic

My wife and I hired Chris to play at our wedding. We had heard him play at local recitals and knew right away that his style and talent would be perfect for our wedding. We were extremely impressed with Chris's professional attitude. He really listened to what we wanted. He was willing to learn new music for our ceremony and also had some great ideas that he contributed based on his previous wedding experience. Chris provided his own equipment and was set up and ready well before the service. We had an outdoor wedding and rain was in the forecast, but he came prepared. He assured us that rain or shine he would be ready to play. The wedding went off without a hitch thanks to his thoughtful preparation. We received several compliments on his skill and ability, but people were also impressed that he stuck around to mingle. We would recommend him to anyone interested in live music, not just for a wedding, but any formal event. His skills are so diverse that he can adapt to any setting.

Exceptional Professionals and Musicians!

We knew that when we heard 12 Strings for the first time playing at West Acres Mall that we wanted their talent at our wedding reception. Their musical arrangements and professionalism made our decision a no brainer. On the day of our wedding they were early to set up and tested their equipment, and also checked in with us, which alleviated any potential stress. We're thankful for their flexibility, as our initial dances were done off of a computer playlist that failed to finish the final songs, which 12 Strings stepped in to provide the music during that snafu. We cannot express how much we appreciate them providing the evening ambiance and would recommend them to anyone looking for this style of entertainment at their wedding reception or any celebration.
