Verified reviews from real couples

We hired Reed as our wedding musician and he truly exceeded every expectation. From the moment we booked him, he was professional, easy to work with, and genuinely invested in making our day special…he even learned a our requested song for our first dance and performed it perfectly. (You’re perfect to me)! Reed handled the full arc of our wedding flawlessly: beautiful acoustic music during the ceremony, a seamless transition into cocktail hour, and then kept the energy going through the reception. He came fully equipped with all his own gear, arrived early, and had everything set up without any stress on our end. Beyond his talent, Reed is just a fantastic person to have at your wedding. Warm, professional, and genuinely great all the way around. We couldn't recommend him more highly!

Best decision I made for the whole wedding! Reed is easy to work with and sounds incredible. He learned every song that we asked him to play. He was an incredible MC for the event. My wedding would not have been the same without him. I got so many compliments and will definitely book him again if given the opportunity. You cannot go wrong booking him for your event!

astic about learning the songs we requested, and his Nashville-style, folky acoustic sound was perfect. As a fellow musician, I was blown away by his voice and guitar skills—truly top-notch. On top of that, he was friendly, flexible, and a joy to work with. We couldn't have asked for a better musician to be part of our special day!

Reed is a gem and we're so glad we found him! For my daughter's wedding, Reed provided live acoustic guitar as guests we seated, accompanied our keyboardist and vocalist during a s...

pecial song, and provided the cocktail hour music. He is such a talented musician and an amazing voice. Our guests commented many times about how much they enjoyed his playing and performing both for the ceremony and the cocktail hour. He really set the vibe for the reception by starting us off well. Reed takes pride in what he's providing. He pays close attention to detail, offering suggestions when needed. Communication between Reed at the other musicians/DJ was easy and we appreciated that he took initiative to do, relieving us of constant updates. He assured us numerous times during our planning that we had nothing to worry about and we were in good hands. To which, I agree! You will not be disappointed with Reed! He's top notch!
