"I planned our wedding from a distance (we live 4 1/2 hours south of where the wedding took place). I was apprehensive about booking a musician online, but Kris's online sample and the reviews I read about him were great. He was very good about returning any phonecalls or e-mails when I had questions, and he was very accomodating to my last-minute tempo change request I talked to him about minutes before our ceremony started. The music sounded amazing, and the ceremony was beautiful. I would definitely recommend Kris to anyone."
