Chris played at my wedding reception on August 17, 2024. My husband & I had just decided to have a trumpet player play our first dance song in the beginning of August… yes, very last minute. Fortunately, Chris was able to become available for our big day. He played during our cocktail hour and finished off with “My Belle Evangeline” from the Disney movie “Princess and the Frog”. It was a very magical moment for us. Chris was also very easy to communicate with. We will definitely reach out to Chris again when we need a trumpet player!

Chris is a true professional. He was extremely easy to work with and communicated with myself and my niece regarding our music selection through phone calls and emails. His trumpet playing added emotion and depth to my mother's memorial that captured the audience. In the beginning of the ceremony, when he played Amazing Grace, it set the stage for a memorable and spiritual event that will be forever remembered by our family and friends. Chris really helped make my mother's tribute special.

Chris played for my cousin’s surprise proposal dinner and absolutely blew us away with his talent. My cousin and his fiancé were so touched and it meant so much to them that Chris and his buddy Tony played many of their favorites, from Chet Baker to Frank Sinatra. It was one of the most intimate and meaningful experiences I’ve ever been a part of and will not soon forget.
