EXCELLENT Based on 5 reviews Jerry Stahosky2025-03-25Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I heard Steve play at another venue, and was very impressed with the quality of his playing. When I inquired, he said he was available to play for my wedding. He was very professional, and willing to accommodate my requests. He was quick to get back to me when I had questions. The day of the wedding he was there in plenty of time to get set up. I was so happy with the music that day. I would highly recommend Steve to make your day special.

Thanks so much Debra! It was my pleasure! Sarah Bull2025-03-04Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Steve is such a talented guitarist! He played at our wedding for both our ceremony and our cocktail hour. In addition to being a great musician, he was incredibly kind and easy to work with. We weren't sure what music we'd like for our ceremony and he helped us narrow it down and make our selections. He even did a custom arrangement for us! It was the perfect addition to our wedding day.
