Kind Words

“We knew his music would be beautiful from watching his youtube videos, and yet we were still wowed"

Christopher was absolutely the perfect choice for our wedding! We knew his music would be beautiful from watching his youtube videos, and yet we were still wowed by how every single number was perfectly recognizable, arranged impeccably, and just so beautiful. He's clearly so experienced at weddings and knows exactly what works.  My only regret as the bride is that, what with hiding from my guests during the pre-ceremony music, I missed half his set-list!

“After listening to him play on youtube, we knew he was the one.”

Can I start by saying… if we could bring Christopher into our family, we would. He is absolutely the kindest and most genuine young man you would ever want to meet.

After listening to him play on youtube, we knew he was the one. He is an astounding classically trained guitarist, and his love for music/playing shines through. His music added such a pleasant ambiance to the event; it truly made the day even that more special. Bottom line, Christopher is a rare gem.

“We consider him a friend amongst friends.”

I wish we could offer 6 stars. We were delighted to have Christopher create the soundtrack to our wedding day but our appreciation goes even beyond this.He is a decent and gentle soul, an outstanding musician with a calm and professional presence. Prior to the wedding, he made the process of booking, choosing a song list, and coordinating the music for the day easy and simple. 

During the ceremony and reception; absolutely beautiful music.
It was a pleasure listening to him play as much as it was having his gracious presence at the wedding day altogether; we consider him a friend amongst friends.
