Alex completely set the tone for my wedding. His laid back music was perfect!! Exactly what I wanted
Alex was great to work with! He was very professional, punctual, easy going, and an excellent musician. He even learned to play our favorite song. We would defintely recommend Alex to our family and friends. We already booked him for our Anniversary. Our guests raved about how great he was. We are spanish guitar fans, and love all his original songs as well. Two big thumbs up for Alex!! Thank you so much Alex, for making our wedding so wonderful.
