Ruben is so talented, it was an absolute joy to have him play on our wedding day. The ceremony music was perfect and the cocktail hour music was exactly what we wanted! I highly recommend hiring him for your special day.

Ruben is so talented and overall just an amazing person to work with! He opens his home for the couple to come and listen to song choices and his selection will blow you away. The week of my wedding Ruben is the only vendor that actually called me first just to quickly check in (which was a nice touch since I had to chase down some of my other vendors). His performance at our ceremony was perfect and I would highly recommend him to anyone.

Ruben played the violin for us at our wedding ceremony. He did a fantastic job and even learned a new song for us that we wanted to have played. He always responded in a timely matter and also previewed his music with us over the phone as we could not make the trip to Asheville to see him in person. Highly recommend!
