We hired Jim to play during our ceremony and cocktail hour and it made our wedding day ten times more beautiful. He has such a wide variety of songs to choose from and he plays the guitar so well that you just want to keep listening to him. I received multiple compliments from guests. I was also set on walking down the aisle to Wildest Dreams by Taylor Swift and Jim learned the song just for our wedding. It was an absolute dream come true. Thank you so much, Jim!

Jim was amazing to work with for our ceremony music. He is so talented, but more importantly, such a nice guy! He was able to learn 3 new songs for us, and we even got to have a preview on Zoom before the big day so we could hear the music. We talked through the flow of the ceremony and he made us feel so comfortable. The music was absolutely beautiful and everything we wanted. We even got a recording of the songs to enjoy time and again. Thanks, Jim!

Jim played guitar at my wedding and he was wonderful! He's extremely talented. All of my guests loved him and having the guitar for my boho outdoor wedding was perfect. I highly recommend Jim for your wedding!

Jim performed at our wedding ceremony and I could not say enough good things about working with him. Not only does he play beautifully, but he was incredibly communicative, answered all my questions and was not hesitant to give suggestions and recommendations. When I was also wondering how the transition between songs would sound like during my Processional, he sent over a video of him playing so I felt more at ease/have a better idea. If you also have a song in mind that you would like to be included in your day, he learns it! Just went above and beyond and we could not have been happier.
