Exceptional wedding guitarist!

We chose Rich for our wedding September 19 in Baltimore. He was everything we could have hoped for and more. From the first time we reached out he responded promptly with detailed information. He was available for extensive back and forth before the ceremony. He learned two new songs for us, a processional and recessional. And his song book for the seating music and any post-ceremony playing is especially versatile, from professional-level classical guitar to Despacito and hits across the last several generations. On top of all that, he's humble and gracious and a delight to work with. Thanks Rich!
