Cale was the perfect fit for our special day! We heard about him from a close friend and decided to book him for our own wedding last year, and it was the best decision we have ever made! Not only is he a phenomenal musician, but he is also very professional and personable — something hard to come by these days. We had multiple wedding guests ask us about how we found Cale because they enjoyed his performance so much. We will definitely be hiring Cale again in the future for special occasions.

Cale is fantastic! He performed at our ceremony and cocktail hour in March, and we received an overwhelming amount of compliments about having him at our wedding. Working with him was a breeze, and he even learned specific songs that I wanted for the ceremony. The experience was nothing short of amazing, and I wholeheartedly recommend Cale to anyone looking for a talented performer!

Music is integral to an occasion, and Cale made ours!
