Feedback

  • Alexander Mitchell is a talented and versatile musician, a terrific person, and a pleasure to work with. Alex provided me with exactly the performance that I requested, and made my event outstanding. My guests haven't stopped complimenting Alex's performance (or my good taste in booking him). I hope I have an occaison to book Alex again in the future. I most certainly encourage anyone to have him entertain at their event. They will be very glad they did. -- Joe S, Hamilton, NJ, 7/31/2011
  • Alex was truly a highlight of the event. He showed up on time, was polite, courteous, 100% professional, incredibly talented, and went above and beyond to learn new songs specifically for us that would hold special meaning for the guests of honor. I couldn't imagine any musician having brought more to the event than Alex did. And our guests haven't stopped talking about how great he was. -- Matt F, Holmdel, NJ, 3/12/2011
  • Alex played our wedding a week ago. He went the extra mile and learned a song that he didn't know for our wedding. 5 stars all around for that simple reason! Very talented! -- Kevin A, Dickerson, MD, 9/10/2011
  • Alexander played "mountain music" during the cocktail and dinner hours of our reception. He traveled a great distance to play for this event and while I was not present for much of the performance (pictures, etc), our guests were very complimentary of his talents. I will have to wait for the video :) -- Mara H, Faber, VA, 10/1/2011
