We hired Justin to play our wedding ceremony, cocktail hour and our dinner. He was absolutely phenomenal to work with. From early on he accommodated our schedule in planning the song choices and made a few excellent suggestions that we had never heard, but ultimately ended up loving. Aside from his professionalism, Justin is a very nice guy. By the end of our experience with him, we can legitimately say we were sad to see him go! It felt more like a close (very talented) friend playing for us, rather than a hired guitarist we had never met in person. We would whole-heartedly recommend entrusting Justin with the music of your special occasion.
