Don't look for another other guitarist - you found the one

Jeremy, what could I say that would do you justice. Seriously, him along with the violinist that we hired did such a beautiful job creating the soundtrack for our ceremony and cocktail hour. All we gave them was a processional and recessional song and we left the rest up to their choice. Jeremy's beautiful voice and talent were such an amazingly special touch to our day and it wouldn't have been nearly as special without him. Everyone came up to tell us how incredible it was. I will forever be recommending him to everyone I know.

Absolutely fantastic!

Jeremy played at another wedding we were at it he was so amazing we had him play at our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. People LOVED him! Our officiant said he was so excellent to work with too (they hadn't worked together before). So many people came up to us during the wedding and said how much they loved him and his music. Thanks for making our wedding so memorable Jeremy!!! From Alyssa, Josh and Oreo xoxo

Best decision!!

Second to marrying the love of your life, hiring Jeremy will definitely be one of your favourite wedding day decisions, as it was for us!! I love live music, so I knew that I wanted to incorporate it into our day, and Jeremy's acoustic sound was perfect!!! Jeremy killed it during cocktail hour, which got everyone ready for an awesome night. Jeremy also performed though dinner, which kept me and the guests entertained and so many people came over to tell how much they loved the performance. There was something for everyone - the range of songs was amazing, from Backstreet Boys to Billy Joel's Piano Man, I loved every song. Jeremy also did a beautiful live version of My Girl for my dance with my father, and it was so special.

If you want to hear Jeremy play, you can reach out to him and he can tell you about events around the city where he will be playing. We went to see him at a bar downtown, and the whole time we were there, we were getting more and more excited about our decision to hire Jeremy for the wedding day.
He even offered to learn specific songs for the wedding day, which is such an awesome skill, and will ensure that your favourite song is played.

Highly recommend!!
