Flawlessly amazing!

There are not enough words to describe how wonderful he is. Do yourself a favor and just hire him! He was a highlight of not only cocktail hour, but our entire wedding. Our guests raved about him for days after and our wedding planner reached out promptly to hire him for her other couples. This style of guitar is difficult, and he is tremendously skilled at it. Flawless delivery and an absolute professional. He'll always wow your guests with his rendition of classic and modern songs!

Romantic, fun, and everything in between

Chris's guitar music infused our ceremony and reception with so much elegance, ethereal romance, and fun! We had an outdoor wedding, and his style and musical taste was perfect for our setting. His music and presence fit so seamlessly. Everyone enjoyed him walking around (it felt like being serenaded). We got so many compliments about Chris from our guests, even our caterers and vendors were impressed! There are many parts of this experience that were exceptional, including Chris's flexibility, his song selections, and his musical talent, but what I loved most was his personality. He was very laid back and easy going, and at the same time very friendly and warm. Working with him was such a breeze, and his music made our wedding day so magical.

Just amazing

Christopher was absolutely the perfect choice for our wedding! We knew his music would be beautiful from watching his youtube videos, and yet we were still wowed by how every single number was perfectly recognizable, arranged impeccably, and just so beautiful. His repertoire included everything we had in mind -- he's clearly so experienced at weddings and knows exactly what worked. We really enjoyed the instrumental-only music -- everything worked perfectly without words and reminded us of the Bridgerton music style :)

As a businessman Christopher was prompt, professional, and put us at ease that he had everything under control on a high-stakes day.

My only regret as the bride is that, what with hiding from my guests during the pre-ceremony music, I missed half his set-list! We would absolutely hire him again
