Absolutely fantastic!

Kurt is an absolute gem of a guitarist! His talent and skill added an unforgettable touch to our special 2-day event! Not only is he incredibly accommodating and communicative, but he also has an intuitive sense of what music sets the perfect mood. Kurt went out of his way to ensure that every song we wanted was flawlessly executed, making our day even more magical. If you're seeking a guitarist who not only plays beautifully but also listens and delivers exactly what you envision, Kurt is your guy! Adding to his charm, Kurt went above and beyond by walking out onto the beach to play our song for our first dance. It was a truly unforgettable moment that he helped create. His willingness to go the extra mile made our wedding day even more special. Kurt's talent, accommodating nature, and thoughtful gestures made him an invaluable part of our celebration. We would highly recommend Kurt to anyone!

Incredible!

Kurt performed at my wedding and was absolutely amazing! He set the mood for the entire night performing during happy hour and throughout dinner. Kurt is an outstanding performer - I've been trying to think of reasons to have a party so I can hire him again. He is one of the nicest, coolest, most down to earth guys I've ever met. He is extremely professional, his price is incredibly reasonable, and he's very flexible. We loved his performance so much I worked out a deal with him to stay even longer than the time we originally had him booked. Every single one of my guests told me how much they loved Kurt's performance. Hire him now - you won't be disappointed.

A True Professional

Kurt was a true professional throughout the entire process of planning and playing at our wedding. He was super responsive to all emails and texts and always seemed 10 steps ahead with preparations. Kurt learned a new song for us and it was one of the highlights of our ceremony. He read our guests during the cocktail hour and knew the right songs to play. Kurt played and sang beautifully and is a true talent. A bunch of our guests commented on how great he sounded and asked where we found him. Above all, he was a nice guy and a pleasure to work with. We won't hesitate to call him for future events. Thanks again Kurt!

Look no further. Kurt is your choice.

Kurt was a wonderful addition to our wedding ceremony. He learned a few requests for my wife to walk down the isle to. All of our guests, of all ages, were raving about what a fantastic job he did. He has a great variety of songs appropriate for any occasion. Our guests especially remember the stunning rendition of Everlong by the Foo Fighters he played that brought people to tears. I would definitely book Kurt for my next event. You should too.

Thanks Kurt.

Kurt was AMAZING!!! He was professional, on time, accommodating, charming, comforting, cute AND could sing!! My guests absolutely LOVEDDDDDDDD him and bragged over and over about him.

Seamless and professional

Kurt was just amazing! Aside from his talent, he was so accommodating to our requests and extremely pleasant to work with. Many of my friends were requesting his card after our event after hearing him all afternoon. We had so many guests who gave great feedback in regards to the music. Kurt made our special day that much more special. Thank you!

Set the perfect vibe for our ceremony with his beautiful voice!!

WOW! Kurt was so awesome. Super professional and easy to work with! He showed up early and got all set up, and was very mindful of the photographers best angles (and how to stay out of them). He learned 3 songs for us and sang them beautifully so that we could walk down the aisle, walk up the aisle, and do a first dance to songs that were deeply meaningful to us. He worked with us to determine exactly when songs should begin and end. He gave recommendations on when he should play based on his experience and made the whole process much easier! Finally, he's super talented. We were complimented on how beautiful the music by multiple people! He didn't overpower the ceremony. Perfection!

Kurt was absolutely incredible. I would highly recommend Kurt to anyone who is looking for an extremely talented musician. Kurt played our cocktail hour at our wedding, and all of our guests raved about how phenomenal he was. He was extremely professional, showed up early, and even learned and played songs we requested. I will absolutely use Kurt again in the future at any events I am planning on having. Thanks again!!
