Chris is the *perfect* wedding DJ and guitarist. He is so talented--there were so many moments while he was playing that we were just in disbelief that it was real. His acoustic gu...
itar during the ceremony was truly beautiful, and during dinner it tied together the whole vibe, bringing it from romantic into the celebration. He's a great MC - we had many guests assume he was a close friend because of how personable he was and how well he seemed to know us. His DJ skills are top-notch, actually DJing and blending songs so that transitions seamlessly built on each other, and reading the room to play what people were in the mood for. Everyone was raving about him. We have friends who are not even engaged yet planning to snag him for their future weddings. Cannot recommend him highly enough!
Chris is was wonderful to work with. Besides being talented he is flexible and a great communicator. He added such a level of class and elegance to our non conventional wedding. I ...
would absolutely recommend Chris!
Chris was phenomenal! We knew we wanted live music at our wedding, but we hadn't even considered acoustic guitar until we came across Chris's amazing videos. He's somehow even bett...
er in person! He's a highly talented musician, and his warm demeanor was perfect for our wedding. He was also very helpful during the planning process, and even recommended an officiant who was ideal for the tone we wanted to set. Thank you, Chris, for being such a memorable part of our wedding!
Chris's guitar music was the perfect soundtrack to our wedding. He took our special day up a level from memorable to unforgettable. Every single guest was impressed. He read the ro...
om perfectly and always seemed to be playing the right song. He has a real musical gift.
He was also a real professional. The process was very clear and we got exactly what he promised we would get. Actually, everything was better than he promised. Excellent communication. No surprises. Total mastery of his equipment. Flexible and understanding when things came up. We're so lucky we found him!
Do yourself a favor and just hire him. He was a highlight of not only cocktail hour, but our entire wedding. Our guests raved about him for days after and our wedding planner reach...
ed out promptly to hire him for her other couples. This style of guitar is difficult, and he is tremendously skilled at it. Flawless delivery and an absolute professional. He'll always wow your guests with his rendition of classic and modern songs!
My wife and I came across Christopher Nicklin while he was playing at a local winery. We really enjoyed his relaxing, finger picking, familiar music, so we approached him about pl...
aying at our upcoming wedding. His rates were very reasonable and we hired him. Christopher gave us his song list and asked us to pick what to definitely play, and what to definitely not play, and what to play at various times of the wedding.
At the wedding, Christopher showed up about an hour early to set up with plenty of time, bringing all his own equipment. He's entirely self-sufficient. He looked great, dressed in a black suit. He played during our wedding ceremony's beginning and ending, and in our cocktail hour or two. He drifted around the event playing guitar. Sounded great. All the guests were very complimentary. Highly recommend!
I'm going to keep an eye on his event schedule - we enjoyed him so much that we'd like to find him playing again at some of the local wineries! Thanks Christopher!
As a wedding planner, the most important things we look for in vendors we refer and work with are those that are professional, communicative, easy to work with, and those who are p...
assionate and excel at what they do. Christopher is all of this and more!
We had the opportunity to work with Christopher in 2023. Not only was he amazing as a musician, he was on top of everything on the day of and very flexible in working with us to ensure the wedding ceremony ran smoothly. He has an extensive repertoire and he would be the perfect addition if you are looking for live music for your event.
We loved having Christopher as part of the team and can't wait to have him be part of more of our future events. Thank you Christopher!
Christopher played music for my wedding this past weekend and it was amazing! He was so easy to work with and even learned a new song for us. All the guests were very complimentary...
of the ceremony music and were raving about how great it sounded. I highly highly recommend hiring Christopher if you're looking for a musician for any upcoming events!
Christopher will learn a requested song he does not know. Very talented, professional, and prepared. A beautiful romantic addition to my daughter’s wedding. I would hire him again!
