Proposal went great!

Emil was very professional! I was traveling in from out of town with my partner and it was fairly easy to get all the logistics sorted out. With his knowledge of the city and the space, he was able to suggest a good time for us to meet on the big day. He did a great job playing our song and helped make the moment even more special!

Better than 5 stars

Emil was great! Music was beautiful and spot on. He had to improvise through a couple of coordination hiccups and did so brilliantly. As a bonus he played much longer than expected. So many compliments from guests. Would not hesitate to book Emil, again!
