When I was planning my wedding, I had one (and only one) demand- I wanted a professional ukulele player to play at our wedding to honor my Hawaiian roots. It seemed easy enough but I quickly found myself browsing cheesy ukulele players' websites and I was starting to give up hope that I would find the right match for my wedding and would have to settle for a DJ. Then I came across Tini Grey's website and listened to his hypnotically beautiful recordings and knew on the spot that this was the man for the job. Only problem? He lived on the opposite end of California and his price point was a bit high. We looked up his future performances and found out that he was playing in Central California in August and after talking with him, decided that we were going to plan the wedding around his schedule (seriously, that is how beautiful his music is!!!). We went with a date a couple of days after his other wedding and paid for his hotel and travel expenses but it was the best money spent in our entire wedding.
When he arrived at the ceremony site (he was super early- A+) we talked in a moment of down time, and he told me about how his wife had her due date on the following day but because we had hired him 8 months in advance, he was sticking to the contract. If that doesn't show you his level of professionalism, I don't know what will. He sang during the ceremony and the reception and the unanimous response from our guests was awe. After we took pictures away from the reception site, a lot of our guests had thinned and we were left with just close friends and immediate family. I told Tini that he could leave if he wanted because there were only a couple of us left at the reception site but he refused- letting me know that we had paid for 9 hours and that he was going to keep up his end of the contract. Again, I was in awe at this man. I have worked with musicians before and I had never come across anyone who was so incredibly professional! I can't recommend more!!!
