Aurora Quartet "The Aurora string quartet played the ceremony and cocktail hour of the wedding. They were absolutely wonderful. Better than expected. The players are so professional! They added music to their repertoire for our event on request. Everything they did was perfect. Top marks for this group of great musicians." Based in Toronto, Ontario (12 miles from Richmond Hill) Aurora string quartet - Wedding of Andrew and Jessica

Samantha Clayton Music "[With regard to your new album, Conflict of Love":] For you to make such a fresh sounding work with such a minimal instrumentation - you are a very very talented songwriter and arranger and your vocal approach is both comforting and risky." Based in Toronto, Ontario (12 miles from Richmond Hill) Matt Zimbel - Writer/Producer/Filmmaker/Musician

Gary Taylor Guitar "Gary was such a wonderful musical addition to our event! He arrived on time with his own gear and was very attentive to our schedule and expectations. When there was a lull he took initiative and did some additional songs and kept the vibe going. As a musician his performance was great. Both instrumentally and vocally very talented. We asked him to engage with the crowd, he didn't hesitate and his interactions came naturally. He even collaborated and improvised with other performers! He was extremely friendly and polite with us and our guests. Thank you Gary for your special contribution to our night!" Based in Etobicoke, Ontario (16 miles from Richmond Hill) 22nd September 2026 FC and SRK - Garden Party

Laura Riggs pianist "Fantastic piano playing and music selection! Laura chose the perfect music for the 3 hours we had her play" Based in Mississauga, Ontario (23 miles from Richmond Hill) 25th October 2025 Lisa F. - Castle wedding event
