Exceptionally Talented, Flexible, and a Joy to Work With

We couldn't have asked for a better guitarist for our wedding. From the very beginning, Asher Coda was incredibly easy to work with, communicative, and genuinely invested in making our day special. He was more than willing to learn new songs ahead of the event and did an excellent job drafting a proposed set list after learning of our musical interests. He truly bent over backwards to ensure the music was exactly as we envisioned. Asher performed acoustic guitar and vocals for our ceremony and transition to reception at Del Mar in DC at the Wharf, and the music was absolutely beautiful. He's an excellent musician, and his professionalism really shined when things didn't go exactly as planned (massive snow storm due to hit later that day). He seamlessly improvised during the ceremony as well when not everyone was ready to walk down the aisle, keeping the moment calm, graceful, and perfectly paced and timed to the music. Beyond his natural talent, he is kind, flexible, and a joy to work with. His presence added so much warmth to our wedding, and the music elevated the entire experience. We are so grateful to have had him as part of our day and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a truly gifted acoustic guitarist and singer for their special event!
