Highly Recommended!!!

Can’t recommend him enough! Booked for a surprise proposal and showed up perfectly on time and was just super nice human. Absolutely made the moment special. Most importantly, he was incredibly talented and very versatile as he was able to learn the special song on short notice. You’d be lucky to have him at your event!!!

Highly recommend!

Gerald was great, exactly what I wanted for my wedding ceremony in Central Park. He has a kind and easygoing presence, wonderful voice, and is a talented musician. My husband and I were so glad to have him at our ceremony. Everything went so smoothly with him, he is a consummate professional. Highly recommend!

I cannot say enough good things

Hiring Gerald for our wedding was an easy decision when we heard his music. But we were not expecting someone with the level of professionalism and kindness that Gerald brought to the table. There are plenty of stressful parts to wedding planning, thanks to Gerald, planning the music was not one of those stressful parts. He took the guidance we provided and knocked it out of the park. During the wedding, I was approach by multiple impressed guests to get more details on who was playing and how we found someone so stellar. The music was a regular topic of conversation throughout the wedding. My wife and I were proud to have Gerald there.
