Steve was great! He's talented, easy to work with, and performed perfectly. The classical guitar provided such a nice touch for our ceremony. Very pleased!

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on September 29, 2018•From Purcellville, VA
Steve is not only an extremely talented musician, but a kind, sincere, good person who is very enjoyable to work with. Steve played at my daughter's outdoor wedding last weekend in Purcellville, VA and the sound of his classical guitar just added a special sense of peace and tranquility to our beautiful outdoor garden ceremony. It was just gorgeous and I could have listened to him play for hours. I highly recommend Steve. He is easy to work with, flexible and nothing short of fantastic! You will be very, very pleased with your decision to hire Steve! Thank you, Steve, for being a part of my daughter's special day - we could not have picked a better person.

Wedding•Reviewed on June 16, 2012•From Chestertown, MD
Steven was a class act from start to finish! He arrived early to warm up and even learned a song, "Around the World", especially for our first dance. During our small reception he played a mixture of classical music and standards; it was the perfect background music for our intimate wedding. I would certainly recommend Steven for your smaller-scale wedding to provide elegant and tasteful musical accompaniment.
