Wedding•Reviewed on August 18, 2007•From Greene, ME
Brian is a proffesional of the utmost caliber, and a gentleman as well. I would recommend him most highly for any event, but his sensitivity to the needs of a wedding seems to be a special talent he posseses. His talents lent an unforgettable element to our wedding, and elevated the event to a much more sophisticated level than it would of otherwise been the case. Thank you sir, for being a part of a day that will be remembered in our two families!

As a performer for the Hospitality Dept. at UNH's Gourmet Dinners, Brian was a pleasure to work with. He was professional in all aspects of his work. This was a themed dinner, so he kindly provided music selections that went along with the theme. His two performances were enjoyed by all who attended the dinners. I would definately recommend him for your event.

Brian met with the wedding couple prior to the wedding to select music. They only had the highest of praise for him. At the wedding, he accommodated our request to play on the beach and by the reception area. He is a very talented musician. Our guests loved his music. We would highly recommend him.
