Incredible artist!

Michael is the absolute BEST! I can't rave enough! I hired Michael to help me surprise my groom by singing him an acoustic song with Michael on guitar. To pull off the surprise, I also had Michael sing and play the guitar at the ceremony, performing a prelude, the aisle song, and a recessional. His voice and guitar playing is stunning, bright, and emotive. It made the ceremony feel so special and intimate. When it came to my 'surprise song', Michael was willing and able to learn to play the guitar accompaniment to a song he didn't know in a very short amount of time (2 weeks - it was a very last minute wedding). He even suggested to meet up to practice, during which he was able to instantly pick up the song and play it in way that was true to the song. He clearly has many years of musical experience to be able to mimic a song and play it on his guitar essentially by ear. Additionally, he had professional equipment in which to practice on so I was able to try singing into a microphone before the big day. I feel like I got a voice lesson in addition to everything else! Michael was very patient and gave such helpful and encouraging pointers. After the wedding, so many people told me how wonderful Michael was and one friend who is planning a wedding inquired about him. Overall, I highly, highly recommend Michael if you're looking for a wedding musician. His musicianship, gorgeous voice, approachable demeanor, catalog of songs, and willingness to learn new songs really makes him such a stand out gem. He's beyond talented with years of experience and a voice that is wonderful in recordings and even more beautiful in person. If are looking for a musician, Michael is the real deal. If you're looking to add something special to your wedding to make it extra memorable, consider working with Michael. I know I'm going to remember how he made my day one I'll remember for the rest of my life.
