Unique, accommodating & overall amazing

Patrick Ross and his band exceeded all expectations, making our special day truly magical. Patrick took the time to learn and perform our first dance song, "Wondering Why" by Red Clay Strays, and honestly, their rendition was even better than the original! They accommodated every request we made and were always open to learning new songs or trying something different. This definitely won’t be the last time we hire Patrick – we want him to be part of all our future celebrations!

Thank you, Patrick, for everything you've done for us.

Patrick and his band - AMAZING

Patrick was a key figure in keeping our wedding organized and the day timely. He and his band absolutely killed it on the music front - so many follow up messages from friends and family saying how awesome it was, it was one of their favorite parts of the wedding. Having the ability to hear your favorite tracks with live instruments going along or in between songs was incredible! We had never been to a wedding with this style before and I don't think we can ever go back, ours set a new bar! If you're considering hiring Patrick and his band for your big day,
don't hesitate - just do it!

Patrick was a true gem to find to play at our wedding. He came highly recommended by our wedding venue and after we chatted with him and saw a couple of his videos, we booked him! He is incredibly talented (and super humble). Patrick played our ceremony, including playing my requested song, his rendition of "Rise" by Eddie Vedder on violin as I walked down the aisle, and fiddled everyone down the hill to cocktail hour. We also hired a guitar player, a friend of Patrick's, to play with him for our cocktail hour and then Patrick DJ'd the night away for the reception. It was incredible, but especially when he fiddled along with the music. Our guests on the dance floor were in awe and stopped to watch him in the balcony. Guests came in from the bar to hear him play. It was so magical. Everyone has not stopped talking about how amazing that was. Patrick was one of the most easy going vendors we worked with for our wedding, a true professional and master of the fiddle for sure! Patrick was flexible, and when I had to make the call to have the ceremony outside when it was pouring rain, he was willing to still play outside with an umbrella. We are so happy we selected him and that he was able to work with us. I would highly recommend him!
