Shawn brought so much magic to our ceremony!

Shawn is a master at his craft! Shawn played our ceremony music and it just tied everything together so magically. The sound was impeccable, and he was SO professional! He was such a delight & easy vendor to work with, despite 3 date changes due to COVID. We never had the chance to meet prior to the wedding day because we were out of state, but I had zero worries or stress about that. Thank you, Shawn for bringing even more romance & emotion to our wedding than we thought possible!

Wonderful experience!

Shawn was fantastic to work with for our event. Our requests for music were rather unique - Zappa, David Bowie, Pfunk, Stevie Wonder - and Shawn was able to work these all in as well as improvise and play similar styles throughout the event. Shawn is extremely talented and makes everything sound great. He was also punctual, clear with instructions, open to meeting with us via zoom pre-event, and fair with payment. Shawn was very engaging with our guests and extremely easy to chat with throughout the day. Shawn was easily the best vendor choice for our event and we wouldn’t hesitate to book him again. We will definitely be recommending him to everyone we can!

Made a special day even more memorable

My daughter and her fiancé wanted to craft a unique feel to their wedding ceremony and reception. After finding Shawn on Wedding Wire, they worked with him to create some lasting memories. Shawn played during the ceremony, cocktail hour and during the reception. We had a traditional hora dance to kick the party off, and Shawn played in the center of our circle. Not one person who attended the wedding had ever experienced anything like it! He provided such an energetic feel to the dance. I don't think anyone of our over 155 guests was sitting for the hora! It was truly phenomenal. Shawn was a pleasure to work with. Now I just need to think of another reason to hire him again!

We love working with Shawn! He's always our first choice recommendation because he represents our high standards and guarantee of client/customer satisfaction. Shawn is very accommodating, easy to work with, and very flexible. If you want a phenomenal musical experience, hire Shawn Boucke.

The Iroquois Club The Iroquois Club Banquet Halls

We had the pleasure of listening to Shawn's beautiful music twice in one weekend - at a wedding where he performed for their ceremony, and also at our bridal show that we hosted. He is a wonderful person to work with - easy-going, really listens to people, and he plays beautiful music. I'm sure other couples will be hiring him though, so I'm looking forward to seeing him perform at The Iroquois Club again soon!

Shawn played for the ceremony of a wedding I shot and his music was so beautiful I would have hired him for my wedding. He is so professional and does an amazing job. I would refer any brides to him.
