Nikita Nakonechnyi
"My musician Nikita was outstanding. He was punctual, well dressed, very respectful, and polite. He played the guitar at my wedding and brought such a beautiful sense of magic and serenity to the moment. It truly made the ceremony feel special. From the very beginning, he felt like someone we had known before -almost like part of our family. His demeanor is fresh, friendly, and very warm.
We are so happy we found him. Having him play at our wedding was absolutely perfect.
Thank you so much Nikita!"

"Ian Kauffman was an absolute pleasure to work with. For couples looking for live music for their ceremony or the reception, Ian is the pro. His glowing reviews are a direct reflection of his work. With little direction, Ian is able to provide clients with an eclectic list of music that brings all age groups onto the dance floor – a serious accomplishment. Not to mention, as a planner, releasing tables to a buffet line can be a stressful task, as you do not want guests waiting in an endless line. This not only demonstrates his flexibility in his services, but also his understanding for tasteful execution. The wedding I coordinated occurred on New Years Eve, so Ian was expected to provide 10+ hours of engaging music – a task he accomplished flawlessly. My bride was extremely satisfied with the outcome as well. I look forward to recommending Ian to my future clients and working with him again."

"Better than just about everyone he slipped right in as background music/feature music and was able to entertain everyone. Fantastic."
Mark Hildebrand
"It was treat to see Mark perform at the Sumner festival I attended. He is clearly dedicated to his craft and his hard work shows through in his skill. His guitar playing in particular is second to none. I also thoroughly enjoyed his honest and inclusive approach to other performers. His great talent and lack of ego are utterly refreshing."

"I can’t recommend Jay enough. He was absolutely brilliant and had the whole crowd up singing and dancing, he really made our night. His voice was superb and he had a wide variety of songs. He interacted with the crowd and really made every person feel like part of the performance. Thank you Jay!"
