The BEST all around wedding musician!

Sam helped make our wedding weekend perfect! He truly can do it all. At our welcome dinner the night before, he sang and played his guitar. On the day of the wedding he played acoustic guitar during the ceremony, sang during cocktail hour, and then DJ'd the reception. Having Sam being able to handle all parts of the weekend was fantastic. He was very easy to work with and helped create the perfect environment for our wedding. Throughout the weekend many of our guests and vendors (including planner/photographer) kept asking who he was because of how much everyone enjoyed the music. I would highly recommend that you hire Sam, you will not regret it!

Fan Favorite of our Wedding Reception

After seeing a video of Sam singing Tennessee Whiskey, we knew we had to book him for our wedding reception. We gave him free reign to sing anything from his set list and he did not disappoint. He sang during our cocktail hour and dinner and our guests were just as thrilled by his talent as we were. Having Sam at our wedding reception created a fun and intimate atmosphere. His set list included a range of genres and artists that everyone could relate to, dance to, and made the evening enjoyable for all. After dinner he managed the playing of our first dance, the parent dances, and seamlessly transitioned music to the dance party to finish off the night. During our reception and even to this day, 1 month later, we still get asked by our guests: “where did you find that guy?!”. I guarantee your guests will be asking the same thing.
