Exactly what we needed.

William was kind, courteous, and a fabulous guitarist. Low key. Just the right vibe for our gathering. We received many compliments on the music.

One of the best parts of our wedding

Tiger knocked it out of the park. My guests just adored him and his music was beautiful. We couldn’t have done it without him. Don’t hesitate. Just hire! He was kind and professional and with little guidance played beautiful music throughout my ceremony and dinner!!!

Wonderful!

Exactly what I wanted for my wedding. Mr. Fitzhugh was very communicative and easy to chat with. Played beautiful music at my wedding and was even able to change plans a bit before the ceremony. Would definitely recommend.

What to expect

As a solo performer, Tiger provides lovely quiet background music for dinners and events, or featured music for wedding ceremonies. Groups range from classical guitar and flute, violin, cello or mandolin to jazz duos, trios, quartets and The Vintage Mandolin Quartet, which performs music from the Golden Age of Mandolin Orchestras to classical, jazz, Irish & Italian and popular standards (Beatles, etc). Volume is never an issue - sensitivity to the clients needs is always the first priority.

Hi William, Thanks again for the great job you did at our wedding.  You were a complete professional from start to finish.  I was a little nervous at first with being in California and booking a wedding in Tennessee.  But your consultations and administration through the entire process was first class.  Not to mention the top quality music your group performed at the ceremony.  It brought an elegance to the afternoon that we will remember always.  I wish you the very best and hope our paths cross again soon.
Best Regards,
Nathan and Andrina Pratt

Tiger, we DID enjoy the music very much.  Everyone I spoke with in the audience said that your music added the perfect "soundtrack" to the beautiful natural surroundings.  I appreciate everything that you were able to do in the very limited time that we were working with.  I could not have asked for anything more.  My only regret is that you weren't able to partake in the party that followed!
Thanks again for all of your work. 
Jason

Tiger, the background music of classical jazz created the ambiance needed for our recent cocktail reception. You were the perfect finish to a great evening. I will be sure to call you again, next time I need a little "icing" on the cake.
Best regards,
Dr. Terryl Propper

We were very pleased to have William playing guitar solo at our wedding in Smithville. The music was beautiful -- exactly what we wanted. We knew from our first phone call with William that we were in good hands. He helped us choose the right tunes and advised us on the best way to present the music outdoors. He even worked up a version of Neil Young's "Harvest Moon" for us. It was a lot of fun. -- Kyle Peterson
