We hired Eddie for our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour, and it was one of the best decisions we made. He beautifully captured the entire vibe of the day, and our guests were so impressed. Eddie was professional, talented, and easy to work with from start to finish. Highly recommend! 10/10! Thank you! - The Harrises 4.18.2026

April 24, 2026Wedding Highlight!!
Wow can't say enough good things about Edward!! Edward played my ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception along with the DJ and we had soooo much fun. Edward played Mr. Blue Sky as I walked down the aisle (my request because it was one of my late fathers favorites) and welcomed our guests in with fantastic classics that my family helped pick out. Cocktail hour he helped me pull off my vision of a low key spy theme (since we were all black tie in a mansion) and played everything from Skyfall to popular sing alongs. Then during the reception when the dancing started, Edward hopped on the dancefloor and played along with the DJ perfectly (with little to no notice of what was going to be played!!). I can't tell you how many compliments we got on how Edward's performance because they're still coming in almost two months later lol! It totally elevated the event. So happy we hired you Edward!! Can't wait for you to play our next event :) Thanks!!
