Mike was amazing to work with! He played beautifully at our ceremony, was flexible with all of our requests and scheduling changes, and was professional, courteous, and easy to work with throughout. I received SO many compliments from my guests about how beautiful the music was. Thank you Mike for making my day so special!

We were so lucky to have Mike play during our wedding ceremony! From the moment we connected, he was incredibly responsive and accommodating, working with me for months to curate the perfect playlist. He went above and beyond by learning new songs, trimming pieces to fit key moments, and even performing a beautiful, obscure melody from a video game that was special to my husband. He was there early to set up and was just on it with every detail needed for a perfect performance.The music was flawless and added so much heart to the ceremony. It’s everything we dreamed of.Our guests are still talking about it! I can’t recommend Mike enough—professional, talented, and a true joy to work with. Thank you so much for making our day special.

Mike = Vibes. Period. okay, so I’ve been to *plenty* of birthday parties, and usually, live music is just kinda… there. but he made the whole night feel *elevated*. people actually stopped chatting to listen. he just *gets* the vibe. every song felt perfectly picked for the moment, shifting seamlessly from chill background music to full-on “OMG, this is amazing” energy. it never felt forced—just effortless and cool. highly recommend!
