Great addition to my Catholic mass ceremony

Arnold's music made my ceremony extra beautiful. Just the vibe I was looking for. Was prompt and on time.

Thank you so much, Mary!

I really had such a relaxing time playing for you ceremony St. Catherine's. It's rare these days for me to play inside a church so I thoroughly enjoyed and miss the experience of a beautiful mass.

Congratulations to you and Cidney!

Arnold's music was the perfect addition to our library holiday event. Not only was he talented, he was easy to work with and friendly. We'd love to have him back someday!

Fantastic classical guitarist!

Arnold played for my daughter’s wedding at an outdoor venue. He arrived and set up early and played beautifully. The order of procession was interrupted by the photographers which made the music timing off, but Arnold made it work out perfectly anyway. I highly recommend Arnold as a wedding musician!! Our guests really enjoyed his playing!
