August 6, 2026I decided at the final hour that I needed something special for my wedding (I definitely suggest you decide these things sooner, but I planned my whole wedding in under 2 months.) Anywhoo, I saw that MrPeformingArts was available. I looked up reviews and booked him right away based on a gut feeling. I'm sooooo glad I did. The music was great! Classic and contemporary at the same time. My guests loved it!! It was definitely one of the highlights of the evening. BOOK THIS TALENTED MUSISICIAN!!!

March 4, 2026Because of typical Atlanta traffic things did not happen the way we wanted it. However, Chris was very responsive, and he even worked with us for the accommodations we had due to the time constraints. I would definitely recommend him to anyone.
