A Beautifully Simple Guitar for our Wedding!

Chris Dunn (Manager) and Troy King (Musician) were a pleasure to work with! Chris Dunn was easy to communicate with, professional, timely, and gave us everything we needed to make the easy decision of going with Troy King as our ceremony musician. As for Troy, we loved his arrangement of wedding-appropriate pop music before the ceremony began, as well as how he played our processional and recessional songs. Would recommend Chris and Troy to anybody looking for a single guitar to play ceremony music. Worth every penny!

A former child prodigy, McEvoy performed on NPR’s From The Top, soloed with the Richmond Symphony, and was featured in concert at the Smithsonian Museum of American History before graduating from high school. More recently he has performed at the Richmond Forum, Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, VCU Guitar Series, Wintergreen Music Festival, and as a guest artist with the Richmond Symphony.
