WeddingReviewed on June 17, 2023From Portland, ME

Simply fantastic!

Wedding CeremonyReviewed on October 17, 2022From Newry, ME

Chris was great! He arrived on time and well prepared. He made the music portion of the wedding very easy. I told him the music and the order ahead of time and when he got to the venue he set up and got to it. Everything went super smooth. Would definitely recommend him to a friend!

Review by Gail W.

Wedding ReceptionReviewed on August 7, 2022From Kennebunkport, ME

We couldn't be more pleased with Chris' performance. His musical talent is the best. He is a self-starter and a natural emcee. He anticipates needs and corrects problems. This guy is the best performer of his ilk that I have seen. He added markedly to the success of the evening.
