• Donnie was great to work with, and he is an amazing guitarist. He performed at our October 15th wedding in the Biltmore Estate's Champagne cellar and set the mood for an elegant yet casual wedding. With relatively short notice, we requested a few songs from him that were not originally on his [very extensive] play list. He said it wasn't a problem and played them during our reception. Every time we exchanged email or phone communication, he responded quickly and professionally. Excellent. Excellent. Donnie...Thanks for giving us a wonderful day, and a great wedding experience! -- Marc K, Asheville, NC, 10/15/2011
