Jim Falbo Wedding Musician
Jim is an amazing musician and played beautiful music before, during and after the ceremony, including the cocktail hour. He was very nice and approachable.

Beautiful and special ceremony music
Jim was amazing to work with! From the first few emails we sent to the last, he was always very responsive and willing to work with our requests. He allows you to pick one song which he will learn for the ceremony (if not in his repertoire), and he played ours beautifully! We are so glad we found Jim and don’t think our ceremony would have been as special without him.

Thanks for the kind words Chelsea! It's amazing that the weather held out long enough for the ceremony, and I enjoyed playing in your wedding. Wish you and yours the best!Frederick Shaw · Married on 11/18/2018
What a night!
There aren't enough superlatives to describe Jim and his skills: Mad skills, very easy to work with, flexible, and able to hit a curveball; we wanted to add a song not in his repertoire and - on very short notice - Jim was able to accomodate us. Jim made our night positively magical, and I cannot recommend him highly enough.

Thanks Frederick! Enjoyed playing all the great tunes you requested. Anyone who selects Bach, Dire Straits, Mozart, The Eagles, and the Beach Boys for ceremony/cocktail hour music has good taste in music!
