Andrew did an absolutely amazing job for our small, 50 person wedding in the woods. He was extremely professional, communicative, and played all of the many (and odd) pieces that we requested. Will definitely recommend and use him for any future events we might have. :)

Response from Music for You!:
Thank you, Joanna! I thoroughly enjoyed working with you. Congratulations to you and your family!
Andrew did a wonderful job playing at my wedding! He arrived on time and played on for two hours, despite the heat & humidity in the barn where I held my wedding. Everyone who attended told me how great he was and how impressed they were with his playing, even friends who have also played semi-professionally. He also learned new fiddle music for my event, even though he typically plays more classical pieces. Andrew's music really added something special to my event.

We booked Andrew for our wedding ceremony and from the beginning he was easily accessible and more than accommodating. We already had a guitarist and he went above and beyond by coordinating music with him, despite having not met beforehand. He provided pre-ceremony music as well and canon in D and a few other classical pieces. His talent, if possible, was even better than his professionalism and we are still getting compliments. I am just waiting for our video so I can experience it all over again!
