WeddingReviewed on October 20, 2019From Charlotte, NC

Best part of the night! Christian was everything we envisioned for our wedding event. He learned new pieces willingly and was incredibly professional and talented. He had multiple solos as well as interaction with drummers from two different bands. Incredible performer!
