    Absolutely fantastic!

    Kurt is an absolute gem of a guitarist! His talent and skill added an unforgettable touch to our special 2-day event! Not only is he incredibly accommodating and communicative, but he also has an intuitive sense of what music sets the perfect mood. Kurt went out of his way to ensure that every song we wanted was flawlessly executed, making our day even more magical. If you're seeking a guitarist who not only plays beautifully but also listens and delivers exactly what you envision, Kurt is your guy! Adding to his charm, Kurt went above and beyond by walking out onto the beach to play our song for our first dance. It was a truly unforgettable moment that he helped create. His willingness to go the extra mile made our wedding day even more special. Kurt's talent, accommodating nature, and thoughtful gestures made him an invaluable part of our celebration. We would highly recommend Kurt to anyone!

    look no further, I promise!

    Kurt was AMAZING!!! He was professional, on time, accommodating, charming, comforting, cute AND could sing!! My guests absolutely LOVEDDDDDDDD him and bragged over and over about him. Working with him was comforting. He always made himself available leading up to my wedding for any questions or concerns I may have had (bride jitters) I would HIGHLY recommend him!

    Amazing Musician

    Kurt is an amazing musician! He was without a doubt the "coolest" part of our wedding-everyone loved him. He is extremely talented with a large repertoire, and even offered to learn a new song just for our wedding day. We want to throw another social event just so we can see him play again. He's that good. We highly recommend Kurt without hesitation!

    Set the perfect vibe for our ceremony with his beautiful voice!!

    WOW! Kurt was so awesome. Super professional and easy to work with! He showed up early and got all set up, and was very mindful of the photographers best angles (and how to stay out of them). He learned 3 songs for us and sang them beautifully so that we could walk down the aisle, walk up the aisle, and do a first dance to songs that were deeply meaningful to us. He worked with us to determine exactly when songs should begin and end. He gave recommendations on when he should play based on his experience and made the whole process much easier! Finally, he's super talented. We were complimented on how beautiful the music by multiple people! He didn't overpower the ceremony. Perfection!

    Wedding musician

    Kurt played a beach wedding for my daughter. He was on time, well dressed and fully prepared. It had been a pleasure dealing with him throughout. It was when he began to play and sing however, that we realized what an incredibly talented musician and singer he is. We thoroughly enjoyed everything he did. Although his audio online was good it does not even come close to his actual talent. I look forward to being able to hire Kurt for another party! Highly recommend!!

    You would be CRAZY to use someone else!

    Kurt played an extremely important part of me and my now wife special day. We hired him to sing a song selected by us for when we walk down the isle. Kurt didn't know the song but was willing to learn in and sent us a small clip as a preview. He wasn't pushy and was soooo easy to work with. He made us so comfortable with each and every interaction. Moving right along to the actual day. Kurt KILLED it. He sang while guests were arriving and I received SO MANY compliments about him, I could;dnt believe it. My guests LOVED him! And as far as our special song? HE KILLED IT. Kurt is definitely extremely talented, charming and personable. You won't be disappointed.

    Delightful Music

    Kurt already knew most of the songs we wanted him to sing/play at our wedding. He had no problem learning additional songs for us. He communicated very well in anticipation of the event. Our guests loved hearing his acoustic interpretations of popular songs and they were just right for the event. Very professional and appropriate for a wedding. His skill and craftsmanship is what shines through. They songs he played us down the aisle to will always be a fond memory for us.

    Simply Amazing

    We hired Kurt to play our ceremony, cocktail hour and first dance for our barn wedding. He was one of the highlights of our event. Our guests commented on how incredible he was and we can't agree more. Throughout the whole process from hiring to the event, he was professional and quick to respond. Our ceremony music was amazing, and the way he played and sang our first dance song was perfect. We are so happy Kurt took part in such a special moment and memory for us. We are forever grateful for his ability and professionalism. THANK YOU KURT!

    Seamless and professional

    Kurt was just amazing! Aside from his talent, he was so accommodating to our requests and extremely pleasant to work with. Many of my friends were requesting his card after our event after hearing him all afternoon. We had so many guests who gave great feedback in regards to the music. Kurt made our special day that much more special. Thank you!

    Kurt went above and beyond for our wedding. He even learned a song we wanted to hear just for our party. I would give him 10 stars if I could!

    Highly recommend!!

    Kurt was absolutely incredible. I would highly recommend Kurt to anyone who is looking for an extremely talented musician. Kurt played our cocktail hour at our wedding, and all of our guests raved about how phenomenal he was. He was extremely professional, showed up early, and even learned and played songs we requested. I will absolutely use Kurt again in the future at any events I am planning on having. Thanks again!!

    Incredible!

    Kurt performed at my wedding and was absolutely amazing! He set the mood for the entire night performing during happy hour and throughout dinner. Kurt is an outstanding performer - I've been trying to think of reasons to have a party so I can hire him again. He is one of the nicest, coolest, most down to earth guys I've ever met. He is extremely professional, his price is incredibly reasonable, and he's very flexible. We loved his performance so much I worked out a deal with him to stay even longer than the time we originally had him booked. Every single one of my guests told me how much they loved Kurt's performance. Hire him now - you won't be disappointed.

    A True Professional

    Kurt was a true professional throughout the entire process of planning and playing at our wedding. He was super responsive to all emails and texts and always seemed 10 steps ahead with preparations. Kurt learned a new song for us and it was one of the highlights of our ceremony. He read our guests during the cocktail hour and knew the right songs to play. Kurt played and sang beautifully and is a true talent. A bunch of our guests commented on how great he sounded and asked where we found him. Above all, he was a nice guy and a pleasure to work with. We won't hesitate to call him for future events. Thanks again Kurt!

    Kurt played the music for our ceremony and cocktail hour. He was absolutely amazing! We heard him play at our friends' wedding and knew instantly that we wanted him at ours. He was very professional and so accomadating. Barely two weeks before the wedding, we asked him about playing two specific songs that were not on his song list. He was able to learn the acoustics for both and the lyrics for one of them. We could not be happier with the service we received and would recommend him to anyone!

    Kurt played the music for my wedding ceremony. I couldn't be happier with my experience with him. Besides being a talented musician, he's been such a professional, accommodating, responsive and helpful during the planning process. He went above and beyond by playing extra songs as my guests were seated. He learned a song at my husband and I's request and sent it to us to listen to prior to the wedding. He was at the venue early and dressed nicely. Several of my guests came up to me after to ask how I found him and comment on how great he was. I would HIGHLY recommend him for anyone looking for a musician for their event.

    Look no further. Kurt is your choice.

    Kurt was a wonderful addition to our wedding ceremony. He learned a few requests for my wife to walk down the isle to. All of our guests, of all ages, were raving about what a fantastic job he did. He has a great variety of songs appropriate for any occasion. Our guests especially remember the stunning rendition of Everlong by the Foo Fighters he played that brought people to tears. I would definitely book Kurt for my next event. You should too.

    Thanks Kurt.

    Kurt helped make our day extra special

    Kurt was a pleasure to deal with and a consummate professional. He was in contact before the wedding to offer advice and input ideas, he learnt thinking out loud by Ed Sheeran and it was amazing, I only wish I had a CD of Kurt performing the tracks he performed at the wedding. All of our guests commented on how good he was and couldn't believe we were able to get such an amazing performer.
    I would work with him again in a heartbeat and it was a privilege to have him perform at our wedding.
