Adar Alfandari "Adar played in my wedding ceremony, and I couldn't ask for a better job. We asked a specific song for our ceremony, 'I wanna be yours' by Arctic Monkeys, and Adar made a special version of it and even produced a stunning backing audio to go with his live performance in our event. It was very special and artistic and we got so many compliments." Based in Berlin, Germany (524 miles from Riga) Bar & Ofri - Wedding
