Lindsay was the best choice we made for our wedding! She sang for our ceremony, cocktail hour and even did our first dance. She went above and beyond to learn a new song for us and exceeded our expectations. She was super easy to work with and prompt with responses when we needed her! Her song list was extensive and set the perfect ambiance. We had so many comments from guests saying how talented she is! Also, her price is more than reasonable. We highly recommend Lindsay and look forward to seeing her shows in the Boston area!
Lindsay was perfect.
We had several date changes due to The pandemic, and Lindsay was flexible and encouraging throughout. She brought the extra sparkle and magic to our intimate wedding. We are so grateful to have found this duo. Don’t hesitate, they’re amazing.
We had Lindsay perform ceremony music for our wedding in August and she was wonderful! The ceremony was outside and she came prepared with all of her own equipment and arrived promptly to set up. She was great to work with and helped us create the exact music selection that we wanted for the ceremony. My only regret is that I did not get to hear more of her music while waiting for the ceremony to begin. I would highly recommend working with Lindsay!
Lindsay and Jordan provided exceptionally beautiful music for our wedding reception! They were extremely responsive and their style fit perfectly with our relaxed aesthetic. We can't count the number of people who asked us how they could hear more of their music.
We are so happy we found Lindsay! One of my favorite parts of planning was picking out our songs while listening to her SoundCloud. I originally found her to surprise my husband with Irish folk music b it that was just the start of her talent. Lindsay played during our ceremony was such a perfect addition. She kept our guests entertained and happy while everyone sat, played so beautifully during the procession and recession, and even played light instrumental music during “downtime” of our ceremony when no one was speaking. Her and Jordan then played at cocktail hour and were such a hit! All our guests loved their music and they created such a unique and positive atmosphere. Could not recommend more highly! Working with Lindsay was a pleasure during a sometimes stressful time!
Lindsay and her husband were hired to preform Guitar and Violin at our wedding. From start to finish they completely k picked it out of the park! We were very happy! Highly recommended!
Lindsay and Jordan were amazing! We were married in the church and Lindsay worked very well with our music director on the music selections we chose and in some cases learned the music with very little effort. It was a beautiful ceremony. They also played during the cocktail hour at our reception which added a unique touch to our evening. They play a wide variety of music which was perfect. Lindsay was helpful and kind and our overall experience was excellent. We definitely recommend them for any event.
We saw Lindsay perform at another friends wedding years ago and I knew immediately I wanted her at mine. Her voice is beautiful and her song choices are varied yet cohesive, there is something for everyone! We received so many compliments about her singing, she adds a unique and personalized touch to every wedding she performs at. She is incredibly easy to work with, I highly recommend her to all!
Lindsay did a just beautiful job with providing music for our small wedding in Newport, RI in Spring 2019. She played acoustic guitar for our ceremony, and sang and played guitar for us at a cocktail hour, which included our first dance as a married couple as well as our first dance with our children. We asked her to learn a Tom Petty song for that first dance, and her interpretation of it was flawless. In addition to what she added to the day, she was super professional and responsive before hand, taking care of all of the details that were needed to make it all work without us having to do any more than necessary to make sure that we were happy. We highly recommend her!
Lindsay Straw performed for the ceremony and cocktail hour at our outdoor wedding and was absolutely magical. She has an incredibly beautiful voice and set the perfect mood for our wedding. So many of our guests came up to us during our reception and after the wedding to comment on how wonderful Lindsay was and we couldn't agree more!
She was also incredibly professional and so easy to work with. We went to see her perform at the Arlington Farmer's Market and met with her after to discuss booking her. She was so helpful and her music was so lovely at the farmer's market that we knew we had to book her. We are so happy that we did! She made the whole process seamless and it was fabulous not to have to worry about the music at all. Our wedding was also outside on the hottest day of the year and Lindsay didn't bat an eye! We can't recommend her highly enough and would strongly encourage anyone to book her for their event.
I came upon Lindsay on the knot. After listening to Lindsay on her website (there was a variety of pieces) and speaking to her, my husband and I knew that we wanted her to play at our ceremony. She was professional, organized, flexible, approachable, responsive, helpful, and had a beautiful voice and guitar skill. The live guitar gave a personal feel that we wanted. She does offer other options. My husband and I like different types of music. Her music selection was extensive. Our ceremony had everything from the Beatles, "Here Comes the Sun," La Vie en Rose" to Foo Fighters' "Everlong." We had a number of guests complimenting on Lindsay's performance. Selecting her was one of our best choices in our wedding planning process.
Lindsay is awesome. We met with her before the wedding to give her an idea of what we wanted in terms of music. I had chose to have live music by Lindsay for the ceremony and cocktail hour with a DJ for the reception. Everything transitioned so smoothly from the ceremony to the cocktail hour. I would definitely recommend her-plus she is super affordable. She is easy going which made the process easy.
I watched my wife walk down the aisle while listening to Lindsay Straw sing, and it was absolutely perfect. Lindsay has a beautiful voice and and is a talented guitarist. Her performance was everything we hoped it would be.
We booked her after seeing her perform at a friend's wedding, and we immediately knew she was exactly what we wanted. She was very easy to work with and very professional. We cannot recommend her enough.
Lindsay was wonderful from beginning to end! She worked within our budget and provided exactly what we were looking for in providing music for our ceremony and cocktail hour, plus managing a playlist we created for "dj lite" services. She has a beautiful voice and was so laid back and flexible in working with us as we figured out what we wanted the music to be. She arrived on time and set up everything and the music was perfect and created the most peaceful vibe for our outdoor wedding. I would work with her again in a heartbeat and highly recommend her!
We hired Lindsay to play during our ceremony and cocktail hour. Based on the structure of the day my wife and I really only heard the processional and recessional music but everything we heard from her was absolutely fantastic. She is both a talented singer and guitarist and has an enormous repertoire, so we were able to choose exactly what we wanted for the wedding.
Lindsay was very accommodating throughout the planning process, including playing an instrumental version of one of her songs that one of our bridesmaids, a professional singer, performed to, even sending that bridesmaid an altered recording in advance for practice. Lindsay was a delight to work with and we highly recommend her!
For our outdoor beach wedding on the Cape, we knew we wanted music that would be simple and beautiful, and decided a solo singer with acoustic guitar would best fit the setting and atmosphere we wanted. We went with Lindsay based on her great reviews and could not have been happier with the experience - not only is she an amazing performer with a beautiful voice, she is a consummate professional who is organized, responsive, and attentive to all the details that go into making a wedding a success!
We really appreciated her broad song list repertoire, that she had her own A/V equipment and setup options (she ended up bringing battery-powered speakers and two wireless mics for the outdoor beach ceremony where electrical outlets weren't available, which also meant amplifying the officiant / grooms was taken care of), that she took special requests and learned a song my mother-in-law wanted for the ceremony, and that she was also willing to perform some light emceeing / DJ duties during the reception to help move things along. Best of all, she went the extra mile and worked with me beforehand on providing accompaniment so I could serenade my husband as a surprise. The day of the wedding, she arrived early to make sure everything was set up properly, and we never had to worry about whether she knew her cues or where she had to be next, and things went off without a hitch!
Several of our guests came up to us afterward to comment on how beautiful the music was during the ceremony and reception, and how calm and peaceful they felt hearing Lindsay's wonderful guitar-playing and singing on the beach. I can't recommend working with her highly enough and am so grateful she was available to be part of our special day!
My husband and I planned our April 6th wedding at Foxwoods in just two months, and a month or so out we were still at a loss for what type of music we wanted for our Ceremony and our Cocktail Hour (We aren’t really ‘harp music’ people). After some searching at various Entertainment sites, we found Lindsay Straw on Gigmasters.com. We loved her acoustic guitar and beautiful voice. She also has her own website for her music and offerings https://www.lindsaystraw.com/. With both of us being Irish, her wide selection of Classical, Pop/Folk/Standards, and Celtic music really checked all the boxes.
Lucky for us, she had our date open, so we set up a phone call with her and walked through what we were looking for, and she shared how she normally handles things. Here website has a LONG list of songs to choose from. She said we could make a list for her to pull from, or give her some guidelines and she’ll fill in what seems to be working best. We also opted to ‘upgrade’ and have her musical partner Jordan Santiago join her on mandolin & violin.
Well, we can’t tell you what rave reviews our guests gave us about both the Ceremony music and the selections for Cocktail hour. PLUS, they were able to cover a 15 min delay/panic as we lost the binder we had all of our readings in for the Ceremony (life savers)!
If you want something different than the usual harp, or string quartet, or even DJ music, you’ll be hard pressed to find someone as talented, charming and versatile as Lindsay. She’ll make your special day THAT much more special.
Rob & Bob, April 6, 2019
Lindsay and Jordan were a highlight of our wedding reception. They are very talented musicians and can play many different types of music. Our wedding was held at a camp in central Mass and we wanted a folk acoustic feel, which they can play perfectly. Lindsay and Jordan learned our favorite song for our first dance, and had everyone in tears for when we danced with our dads. She was so helpful in recommending songs for specific moments of our wedding and very accommodating and flexible when setting timelines for our day. From the beginning Lindsay was very professional and quick to respond to emails. One thing we were most impressed with was her ability to get to know us and what we wanted for music on our wedding day. They played a good balance of crowd favorites and their original songs, which gave our reception a unique and personal touch. They were naturals at feeling out the vibe of our venue/guests and setting the tone that we wanted. Lindsay and Jordan were a perfect fit for our reception and we are so happy to have booked them. The music was unique and loved by all of our guests. People were up dancing and sitting, enjoying the lovely music.
As a same-sex couple, Lindsay and Jordan were a safe and comfortable option for us.
Hiring Lindsay for our wedding ceremony on 10/5/18 was one of the best decisions we could have made! Lindsay was so wonderful to work with throughout the whole process, and even went out of her way to learn two different songs for our ceremony which made it so much more personal and special. Lindsay is truly gifted and having her play at our ceremony made all the difference!
Lindsay Straw was incredible from the minute we decided to book her to the day of the wedding. She had great suggestions for the cocktail hour, and the ceremony music. We have a big Irish family, and she was able to give us great suggestions for traditional music that fit our theme. Her voice and guitar skills are hard to beat! She did a custom version of the Ed Sherran Galway Girl for us, and she knocked it out of the park! We even had a little moment where a bridesmaids fainted and she was calm, cool, and collected and still played through the whole thing! Thank you Lindsay!!
Lindsay played at our ceremony and cocktail hour in Cambridge. She was great to work with, having a very seamless booking process. There was a large music selection, and we received tons of compliments after from guest on how great the cocktail hour music was! Definitely recommend booking!
If you're questioning whether or not to book Lindsay for your wedding -- DO IT! She was absolutely incredible! All throughout the planning process she had prompt and helpful responses, offering us suggestions and samples of her music to help us decide on the perfect playlist. We had our wedding pretty far away from where she usually plays, and we are so grateful she was able to make the trip because our ceremony would not have been the same without her (& Jordan)! Her version of "A Thousand Years" while my father and I walked down the aisle had a majority of our guests in tears. Neither my husband nor I got to even see her or meet her in person that day amidst all the business, but we heard her magical sound and could not have been happier! Thank you Lindsay! :)
We were fortunate enough to have Lindsay play during our outdoor Cape Cod wedding ceremony this summer! Lindsay is absolutely incredible and so talented. She was so flexible and quick to respond. Her knowledge of music and weddings was so helpful in planning our ceremony. She sent us a recording of one of our ceremony songs before our wedding and I literally cried it was so beautiful! I couldn’t recomm be Lindsay enough!!!
Lindsay was a solo guitarist for our low-key, outdoor wedding ceremony, and she was AWESOME! She has a huge selection of covers and learned a song special to us (and sent a music file along in advance just to make sure it was what we wanted), was on time, professional through out our planning process, was incredibly responsive with all of my neurotic questions, and performed beautifully the day of. Her amps are also battery powered, which was so great for our outdoor wedding - no permitting needed! She also had an extra cord-less mic available for our officiant, which was incredibly helpful. Can't say enough kind things and so glad we went with Lindsay!
Lindsay performed at our wedding ceremony and it was such a wonderful experience! Booking was a very easy process and she was very easy to work with and flexible in terms of picking the songs we wanted and the schedule for the day. She also asked all the right questions in preparation and it really made us feel at ease that everything would go well on the big day (e.g. if we needed an amp/mic for the venue). She also checked in the few days leading up to the wedding so we knew she'd be there at the right time.
At the wedding, Lindsay arrived early to set up and was ready to play soon as our guests started to arrive. She was very cheerful and professional. Not to mention her voice was really beautiful and set the perfect mood for the day! Would definitely work with Lindsay again and recommend her highly to anyone else looking for a musician for their wedding/event.
Lindsay was beyond amazing, I can't say enough nice things about her and the special touch she brought to our wedding. Lindsay played during our ceremony and cocktail hour. First and foremost, she has the most beautiful and enchanting voice (we heard a sample and were hooked immediately). She was very easy to work with and so helpful throughout the entire process. Lindsay worked with us early on to get an idea of how she would best fit in and what we were looking for in terms of music choices. She provided guidance for the different songs that play during the ceremony and then what type of music she would play at the cocktail hour. We had so many guests come up to us asking about Lindsay and saying how wonderful she was and that she really made the ceremony special. I would recommend her over and over again and we look forward to seeing her at some of the other shows she plays around us! Thank you Lindsay!
Working with Lindsay was fantastic. She has such a beautiful voice and playing style. She really added a lot to our day and helped make it feel like 'us' with song selection and style. Family and friends all made sure to tell us how beautiful the music was.
Lindsay completely exceeded all of our expectations. When we found her online we knew her style was perfect for our wedding. She has a fantastic website that is very informative and provides a lengthy song list. She was very easy to work with, responded in a timely fashion and provided great song advice. Of all the pieces of our wedding we got the most compliments on her beautiful performance. Her music made the day that much more memorable for us.
I booked Lindsay to play at my wedding in Sept. 2017. She played at our ceremony and then for the cocktail hour. I had guests coming up to me all night telling me how wonderful her music was. She is such an incredible artist. Check out her website and see for yourself. She plays so many different types of music from Irish folk to classic rock. Lindsay, Thank you so much! Your music is beautiful!
Lindsay Straw is absolutely amazing!! We hired her for our wedding ceremony and it was just perfect. Her voice is so incredible and she made the milestone that much more memorable. Leading up to the event, she was super easy to work with, always emailed back right away, and we even FaceTimed! Plus, she was willing to learn a special mashup for us. Overall, 10/10. If you want to make your ceremony, or any other moment even more special on your big day, hire Lindsay.
As soon as I found Lindsay's music online, I KNEW she was the one I wanted to play our wedding. She exceeded all of our expectations. Her voice and her guitar skills are unbelievably beautiful in person. On the day of our wedding, we had countless guests come up to us to ask where we found her and compliment her music. Beyond being highly talented, Lindsay was professional, responsive, and incredibly helpful from the second I contacted her. She also rented her speakers out to us for the dancing portion of the evening for an incredibly reasonable price, and stuck around to help out with them, which was an amazing deal for us as we were trying to make our wedding work on a budget. She responded graciously to every one of my dozens of emails/questions about the logistics leading up to the day. As talented as Lindsay is, she could be charging three times as much as she does (maybe I shouldn't write that), and I would encourage anyone to book her for their wedding or other event!!
Lindsay is a talented artist and a consummate professional. Not only did she learn a song for my daughter's wedding ceremony, she also sent us a recording before the big day. Everyone commented about how wonderful the ceremony music was, and Lindsay made everything easy, from booking to payment. I would rehire her in a heartbeat.
Lindsay is a wonderful choice if you are looking for a unique and beautiful ceremony musician. She performed at our wedding in September at the Barn at Gibbet Hill for an outdoor ceremony. She was kind enough to learn the song that I wanted to walk down the isle to and played 10 amazing song choices for our guests while they were arriving to the ceremony. Everyone had nothing but wonderful things to say about her and how beautiful her voice is! She was prompt to response to my e-mails and it was very easy to communicate with her. She is an absolute pleasure to work with and made our ceremony exceptionally beautiful. She is very organized and provided amplification for herself as well as our officiant. I highly recommend working with her if you want to have an amazing ceremony musician!
My husband and I hired Lindsay to play guitar and sing during our cocktail hour, and we are so happy we did! She has a beautiful voice and presence. While we didn't get to enjoy much of her music as we were off taking photos, our guests were blown away. She was really responsive and open to our ideas leading up to the wedding as well.
As father of the bride, I was very sensitive to my daughters needs. My daughter is highly critical of everything "music". Lindsay delivered a performance during the ceremony that was unique, highly professional vocally and with a "sweetness" that made the ceremony more complete and memorable. If you want a talented musician at your event, dont hesitate to hire Lindsay.
Lindsay did the ceremony and cocktail the music at our wedding this September. She is beyond talented & professional! Our guests were so impressed and I can't thank her enough for adding a special touch to our day!
We hired Lindsay to play at our outdoor wedding ceremony. She was very responsive when we reached out to her and immediately sent us a link to her website, which has a list of all of the songs that she knows, including audio recordings of many of them so we could hear how they sound. She was also happy to meet with us before hand to go over our song lists and learned a new song at our request for the processional. She sent a sample of it to us beforehand to make sure we liked it - it was perfect. She arrived early, set her stuff up, and set up the audio for our officiant as well. Her music throughout was beautiful, and she let our friends use her guitar and microphone to sing a song during the ceremony. Last but not least, her rates were extremely reasonable and we were thrilled to be able to have live music at our ceremony without breaking the bank. We would definitely recommend her.
Lindsay was such a pleasure to work with! She was recommended by our DJ as a guitarist to perform during our ceremony and throughout cocktail hour. Her music was so lovely and I have received so many compliments from guests saying she was the perfect edition to our cocktail hour. Lindsay was very responsive throughout the planning process. and she was very helpful in making song recommendations based on the vibe we were looking to achieve. Lindsay also knows an array of Irish songs which our Irish families loved! I would very highly recommend her!
Lindsay was super easy to work with and she is very talented! We got married on August 4, 2017 and hired Lindsay to play during our cocktail hour. She has a large variety of songs to choose from and she sounds amazing. Our guests loved listening to her while getting their hors d'oeuvres/drinks, and acoustic music was great to have before all the dancing with our DJ. We highly recommend Lindsay. Thanks!
Lindsay played at our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. She did a wonderful job and was very easy to work with! The live music really helped set the mood for our special day. Beautiful voice! We would highly recommend her :)
We asked Lindsay to play during our wedding ceremony and she was wonderful, so talented! Lindsay was also very helpful throughout the whole booking process. Guests were coming up to us at our ceremony raving about what a wonderful addition to the wedding she was. Couldn't be happier!
I cannot say enough about Lindsay! First off, I was desperately searching for a ceremony musician and just couldn't seem to find what I was looking for. I found Lindsay on The Knot and emailed her. She quickly responded and was such a pleasure to talk to. I listened to her music samples and I knew she was the one! Even though I only saw her quickly when walking down the aisle, a lot of my guests came up to me asking who she was and telling me how beautifully she played and sang. I couldn't have found a more perfect musician to play at my wedding. Thank you so much Lindsay, you truly made our wedding special!!
Lindsay was absolutely amazing! She was a perfect touch to our ceremony & we couldn't have seen our day without her. She was very quick in responding to emails, and even met us prior to the wedding. Her voice and guitar skills are beautiful! Thank you again Lindsay!
Working with Lindsay was one of the easiest parts of the wedding planning process. She was incredibly professional, responsive, and provided helpful guidance to my fiancé and I when we had questions. She did a fantastic job creating arrangements to songs that were significant to us, and my husband and I received multiple compliments on her performance for the ceremony, cocktail hour, and first dance from our guests. I highly recommend her, working with her was a great decision in every way!
Lindsay was absolutely amazing!!! Her voice is stunning and working with her was so fantastic and easy. Booking her was one of the best choices we made for our wedding!
Lindsay was the absolute best person (along with her band the Ivy Leaf) that we could've booked for our wedding in southern Vermont. Her professionalism and talent are boundless, and I cannot recommend her enough.
I recently had Lindsay sing at my our door, roof deck wedding. Leading up to the wedding she was very quick to respond to emails, offered great ideas and had a lengthy song list to choose from. My family, and my husband are from Ireland, therefore a number of the guests were arriving from Ireland. Her song list included a large variety of Irish songs, which was perfect for my cocktail hour. She arrived on time, allowed the Justice of the Peace to utilize her microphone/speaker equipment, and was a BIG hit! She sang for a half hour before the ceremony, then sang a beautiful rendition of "A Thousand Years" while I walked down the isle. She sang a number of classic Irish song to which almost everyone who knew the words sang along to, making the cocktail hour truly wonderful and social. I can not tell you how many people asked "Where did you find her, she was AMAZING!" in fact, just yesterday I was at a family birthday party and my cousins wife said " I could have listened to her all night" I think all attending would have agreed with that! Don't give it a second thought- if you are looking for a unique, beautiful voice and complete professionalism, look no further!!! Thanks for a job well done, one people cannot stop raving about!
Lindsay was an incredible addition to our wedding ceremony! My husband and I both love folk music, and Lindsay's repertoire was a perfect fit for the atmosphere we were trying to set. She was a breeze to work with, responding to emails quickly. Lindsay was also kind enough to learn a new song ("The Wind" by Cat Stevens) for our walk down the aisle (my husband and I walked in together) without any additional charge! We can't recommend Lindsay enough!
Amazingly talented. I am so thankful we found Lindsay Straw for our wedding. Lindsay’s music added a classy, magical touch to our ceremony and cocktail hour. I will never forget walking down the aisle with my parents to an acoustic rendition of Cannon in D. Simply beautiful. Lindsay read the crowd extremely well at our cocktail hour, and played acoustic renditions of modern pieces as well as traditional Irish and folk tunes. I could have spent the entire evening just listening to her perform. Lindsay is also extremely professional and easy to work with. Prior to the big day she provided wide variety of selections for us to choose from – certain to fit any wedding style. Thank you Lindsay for making our wedding day unforgettable.
Lindsay played during our daughter's wedding ceremony last month at the Hellenic Center in Ipswich MA. Talented musician and a beautiful voice. Lindsay was very responsive, accommodating and flexible during the process. Terrific selection of music. Highly recommend her.
Lindsay was fantastic - great musician and so easy to work with! I am only sorry that I didn't get to hear more of her music. She is a true professional and made our ceremony very special. We heard tons of compliments that night about how great it was to have a live musician play for our ceremony and cocktail hour!
Lindsay is a delight to work with and a phenomenal musician! I knew I wanted a unique procession but I didn't want to just plug in an iPod and Lindsay was the answer! She made our ceremony extra special by offering such a wide array of contemporary songs (guests came up to us all night to compliment her performance and ask where we found her!) but is skilled enough to also play more traditional tunes as well. She made the planning process so much easier by making sure all questions were answered far in advance of the big day and I would suggest her in a heartbeat to anyone who is looking to hire a live musician for any event.
We hired Ivy Leaf to play music for the ceremony and also throughout the reception and they were absolutely wonderful! Lindsay was quick to respond to all my emails and was very organized, thorough, patient, calm, friendly, and professional in working with us. I felt ever so confident that they would arrive on time and everything would go as planned...and it sure did!! We had an outdoor wedding at an apple orchard in the fall and they were the perfect addition to the cozy and festive vibe we wanted to create. We are not much into dancing and wanted to be able to mingle with our guests for the whole reception but we also wanted to have music entertainment...Lindsay and Ivy Leaf were the perfect choice! The music was happy, lively, and festive and we received many compliments from our guests. We even purchased CD's on Amazon to give as memento gifts for our parents and other family members. Ivy Leaf was a big part of our lovely wedding day and I can not express my gratitude enough!!
Very responsive and friendly. She was able to give us suggestions, recommendations and has a great song list to choose from. She gave a different vibe to our ceremony and cocktail our that our guests really appreciated. Sound quality and her voice were great!
My husband and I couldn't have been happier with our choice to work with Lindsay Straw and The Ivy Leaf for our garden wedding on Cape Cod. The group played beautifully, and they were so easy to work with. I was particularly thrilled that they were able to accommodate my request for a particular song for the processional, and sent me a recording of it in advance to make sure I liked the way it sounded. I would recommend this group to anyone looking for either beautiful romantic folk music or fun upbeat Irish reels. Thanks Lindsay and team!
Lindsay played background music at my sister's bridal shower. From start to finish she was a true professional. She is a rare talent, whose voice is simply gorgeous. We received many compliments from the guests on how refreshing it was to have live music at the shower. Lindsay helped to create just the ambiance we were looking for and was an absolute pleasure to work with. She has a wide array of music selections to choose from and helped to make the shower an event we will always remember. I would highly recommend her for ceremonies, cocktail hours, receptions, showers and any other special events.
I looked for the right Person to play at our Country Wedding, When I cam across Lindsay I was Wowed!!! I Listened to her music over and over again until the day I Walked down the Isle To my Grandmother's Favorite Song You are my Sunshine. Lindsay Was so easy to work with, Emailed me all the time to make sure everything was Going to plan And took over all Music for me even what My wedding party walked into and what we exited with. She Is AMAZING!!!!!! All my guest asked me about Lindsay the whole time she was playing!!!! I would love to Hire her again and again and We definitely Will !
Amazing Couldn't Be happier <3
Thank you again for making out day Amazing! xoxo
Mr. & Mrs. Fontaine
My (now) wife came across Lindsay when looking for someone to play for our ceremony. From the first introductory email to the last thank you email, Lindsay was an absolute delight to work with. She was communicative, organized, and an absolute professional. Of course, most importantly, the music was perfect! While we did not get to enjoy the pre-ceremony music, we heard nothing but great things from our guests. The performance during the ceremony was exactly what we were looking for and wanted. If you are in the market for someone to perform, I can't recommend her enough!
For our wedding ceremony, we wanted to hire a guitarist. After searching online, we stumbled upon Lindsay. We knew Lindsay was the one for us when we heard her music online and saw her song list. When we met Lindsay, she was very professional and had a calming influence. She helped us coordinate our ceremony music. We chose three songs that Lindsay had on her song list, an instrumental version of a "Thousand Years" for the processional and "I Choose You" for the Recessional. We also had her sing "The Story" during our Sand/Candle ceremony. Her timing was impeccable with each song as we had requested to start some of the music while the officiant was completing a verse . This made it very unique as well as memorable for us. We also had Lindsay play an hour of cocktail music. Since she would not be present at our reception, we decided to do our first dance during the cocktail hour. We chose to have her sing "Come to Me" by the Goo Goo Dolls and we requested her to change a couple of the lyrics to suit our gorgeous location as well as being a same sex couple. Lindsay did a beautiful rendition of “Come to Me” and it made it even more special since it was tailored to us. She even provided us with a recording which we will treasure forever.
Many guests inquired about her and commented how wonderful she was. We even got a call from the venue just a week after our reception requesting her contact information for another couple. We just can't say enough about Lindsay. She is a gifted musician with an angelic voice who made our day that much more memorable. We would highly recommend her to anyone!
Lindsay performed for our small wedding in the Public Gardens, and she was perfect. She was very responsive and professional in all out interactions leading up to the wedding, and she was timely and perfect on our wedding day. She is an extremely talented musician, and her voice and playing are absolutely gorgeous! She even learned a new song for us, and her performance was everything we had envisioned and more! She definitely brought tears to our eyes. I would recommend Lindsay to anyone!
