Magic music.

All I can say is wow! We hired Russell to play for our wedding ceremony and it was truly magical. We got married at a family home by the beach, and wanted to balance a formal affair with it feeling intimate, summery, and lighthearted. The fingerstyle guitar turned out to be the perfect choice to fit that vibe and it was like nothing I'd ever heard before at another wedding. Russell was so easygoing and lovely throughout, on-time and organized day of, and most importantly provided such a beautiful backdrop to our day. Thank you!!!

Beautiful music for our special day!

We couldn’t be happier with our decision to have R.D. play at our wedding! From the very beginning, he was incredibly communicative, proactive, and so easy to work with. Planning a wedding can be overwhelming, but his professionalism and attentiveness made the process smooth and stress-free.

On the day of the ceremony, R.D. did an exceptional job. He brought our ceremony songs to life in a way that was even more beautiful than we could have imagined. His talent and attention to detail added so much emotion and depth to the atmosphere, making the moment truly unforgettable.

We received so many compliments from our guests about his performance—several people specifically commented on how wonderful he was! It’s clear that he puts his heart into everything he plays.

If you’re looking for a skilled and reliable guitarist to make your wedding day extra special, we wholeheartedly recommend R.D. He exceeded all of our expectations and helped create memories we will treasure forever.
