I highly recommend James as a guitar player for your wedding. James had excellent communication from our first email. He shared what to expect on the day of our wedding and was ver...
y accommodating, answering our questions.
He showed up on time and was very professional the entire time and was so friendly and happy. He played songs as our guests walked in, and then played a few processional songs that we selected from a nice list he provided. He took cues very well from my day of coordinator, and played the exact songs when we needed them to be played.
During cocktail hour, he played songs from his repertoire that matched the mood very well. He played a gentle mix of classical, flamenco, jazz songs (maybe more genres!) As a solo musician, he doesn't take up a lot of real estate but he made a huge impact. We had multiple guests throughout the evening tell us how wonderful James was, how much they enjoyed his music.
My husband appreciated that James is able to play his music on his own - he didn't use a background track to play on top of.
James is also very gracious and kind. It's obvious that he takes pride in his work. I would not hesitate to hire him again for any future events.
