I can't express how grateful I am to have found such a beautiful singer to play for my wedding ceremony on Sept. 27, 2013! We were planning our wedding from a far and I had by chance come across Lindsay on GigMasters. My now husband and I fell immediately in love with her voice after hearing "On Raglan Road" which she played at the ceremony. We also had her venture off of her song list to play "A Hundred Years" by Christina Perri . She was more than thrilled to play what I had in mind. Coming down the aisle she had arranged perfect timing in the song. She blew me away with her voice. It truly was one of my favorite moments, and I'll never forget it. She was a pleasure to work with, professional, and responded quickly to emails always with sweet enthusiasm . It couldn't have been more perfect, I continue to get compliments on her from my guests. Highly recommended to make your event memorable!

Thanks so very much for making our special day!!
We truly can't thank you enough. Best Wishes - Scarlett&Tommy

Lindsay performed at our wedding ceremony and it was such a wonderful experience! Booking was a very easy process and she was very easy to work with and flexible in terms of picking the songs we wanted and the schedule for the day. She also asked all the right questions in preparation and it really made us feel at ease that everything would go well on the big day (e.g. if we needed an amp/mic for the venue). She also checked in the few days leading up to the wedding so we knew she'd be there at the right time.

At the wedding, Lindsay arrived early to set up and was ready to play soon as our guests started to arrive. She was very cheerful and professional. Not to mention her voice was really beautiful and set the perfect mood for the day! Would definitely work with Lindsay again and recommend her highly to anyone else looking for a musician for their wedding/event.

Lindsay was a wonderful addition to our wedding ceremony. She was so easy to work with and has a really wonderful talent. Several of our friends (who are very musical themselves) mentioned how awesome her voice and style was and me and my husband agreed. She was so nice to work with and even did us a huge favor (for free) by bringing an extra mic for our officiant to use. It was so refreshing to work with someone who is responsive, flexible and really just out to make our wedding the best event it could be!

I would highly recommend Lindsay for your wedding. In fact, if cocktail hour music wasn't included with our wedding band, I would have loved to have her stay to play that. She has an excellent selection of music. And compared to the price of string quartets and other classical guitarists, Lindsay is an absolute steal. Hire her, you won't regret it!

Lindsay has a broad range of songs and style. I enjoyed her melodious voice and guitar playing during the pre-ceremony as well as the quality of her music during the processional and recessional parts of the wedding ceremony.
