Do yourself a favor and book Nick! AMAZING!!!

You cannot go wrong with Nick. He is amazing, talented, knowledgeable, prepared for anything, so quick to respond, and up to play any music! We hired Nick and Brian to play guitar and violin for our ceremony and cocktail hour music. I can’t tell you how many of our guests were raving about them! These two were so much fun and provided a beautiful soundtrack to our wedding. I’m still getting texts and calls from our guests saying how wonderful they were and so unique. I was glad I could attend cocktail hour to hear them play! Do yourself a favor and book Nick now for the most amazing and memorable wedding music experience!!!!

Wonderful Addition to our Wedding

My husband is a guitar player and loved music so having a quality musician for our wedding was very important to us. Nick delivered on incredible quality and professionalism. Nick provided ideas for our playlist and helped us through the process. I wanted a unique song for my processional that was difficult and Nick learned it with ease. It made our wedding day even more special and enjoyable. His music during our backyard wedding's "cocktail hour" added such a fun element and many guests commented how great he was. I would highly recommend Nick.

awesome live music

We hired Nick and his friend Brain Fitzy who plays Violin to perform at our wedding for the ceremony and cocktail hour. They were very easy to plan with and very responsive with everything we asked in the planning process. We picked them because they were able to play music beyond just a music list which all the other musicians had. They were able to play a wide range of music from oldies, alternative, and adult pop and excel in each area. They showed up early and were very response to direction from the venue staff about where to set up. During the cocktail hour we had a significant amount of guests tell us about how good their music was and how Nick and Brian were such a good combo. For anyone getting married who would like live music I would 100% recommend them to play at your wedding.

Wonderful guitarist!

Nick was absolutely fantastic! We had him perform for our ceremony and cocktail hour and it was beautiful. For our ceremony we asked for him to sing a specific song for my procession and it was beautiful! The song had a lot of meaning in the lyrics so I was so happy that he did that. We also asked for a slightly different recessional song (Jurassic park theme) and our guests loved it! We also received many compliments of his performance during the cocktail hour. Nick is super friendly and responsive and extremely affordable. I highly recommend him if you are in need of a guitarist!!

Thank you Nick!

We hired Nick to play during our wedding ceremony and we couldn’t be happier with our decision to do so! He was so easy to work with and offered to learn a few specific songs we requested. He also sent us samples ahead of time to confirm everything sounded okay before the big day. We would highly recommend Nick as a professional guitarist to bring beautiful acoustic music to any wedding venue.

9/1/18 wedding

Nick played for our ceremony and cocktail
Hour at our wedding and he was seriously incredible. Planning with him was so simple and he made the process so easy. He was very responsive to all of our emails and questions. He has a wide range of music that he plays and will provide you with many suggestions for any songs you may need. We picked the specific music for our ceremony but for cocktail hour just gave him our “vibe”’with some artists and genres that we like and he crushed it! We received so many compliments on his music. Nick is also a very kind person and it was truly a pleasure to work with him! We would highly recommend him!!

My husband and I are so thankful to have found Nick to play at our ceremony and cocktail hour. So many of our guests have commented on his amazing talent and how they really enjoyed listening to him play and sing at our cocktail hour. Nick was willing to learn 2 songs for us for our ceremony, and it made the ceremony extremely special for us. He was so easy to work with before hand as well. You will be lucky to have him play for you!
