Beautiful Ceremony Music

My husband and I were so happy with our ceremony music by Jim. He gave us a great selection of songs to choose from, and his sound was amazing. It gave the exact vibe that we were looking for in our beachfront wedding.

Naples Beach Ceremony and Cocktail

Jim was great! He recently played for our ceremony and cocktail hour at a beach wedding. He even learned a new song for our precessional! He was very professional and responsive as well as competitive with price. Would highly recommend!
