Cannot say enough wonderful things about Chris. He is talented and amazing. Made our wedding so special. He played our requests to perfection for our ceremony then played through cocktails and dinner. Everyone (some professional musicians) commented on how great his talent is. His communication and professionalism are superb. Would hire him again in an instant.
