We could not have asked for a better musician than you. Thank you for everything you did for us that day." - Molly and Ahmet “It couldn't have been a better ceremony and I have you to thank for making the music absolute perfection...I would recommend you to anyone in a heartbeat!" - Trillion and Greg "Alan was wonderful! He has great suggestions and listens to what you want. Our ceremony music was perfect and I would definitely recommend him to friends and family. ” Ellen and Anthony "It was very easy liaising with Alan by email, and he was very accommodating of special requests including creating a guitar version of a song our daughters fiancée especially wanted . Our guests all commented on how much they enjoyed Alan's playing and how it set the scene for the occasion.” -Sarah and Terry "Al is an incredibly talented guitarist who will work with you to play what you want...he's responsive, kind, he listens to your concerns & suggestions, and he is genuinely lovely to work with. I am so glad that we had him at our wedding!!” Holly and John "Our wedding had a rustic feel in a converted winery barn, and the acoustic guitar sounded amazing. It really set the mood. I highly recommend his services!” Patti and Phillip "Alan played guitar at my wedding ceremony in July and it could not have possibly been more perfect. He is as professional as they come and a true pleasure to be around, but what I cannot get over is just how amazing he is at the guitar." - Mark and Alexa "Alan is self-contained and comes dressed in a tuxedo with his guitar and amplifier in hand. Once he begins to play, its magical! Our guests loved him and so did we! We highly recommend Alan for any event and look forward to using his services again in the future." -Annette and Chris "Before our wedding, I had given Alan a few suggestions of songs that I would like played, and they were songs he was not familiar with. He emailed me promptly back and thanked me for allowing him to learn some new songs. He even sent me a recording of the processional songs so that I could hear them before the wedding." - Ali and Zak "My husband and I met with him almost a year prior and he was a true professional. He was a pleasure to work with and truly an amazing guitarist. His music is so beautiful, I can listen to it all day." - Katie and Cody

Wedding CeremonyReviewed on November 19, 2014From West Orange, NJ

We are so happy that Alan played acoustic guitar at our daughter's wedding ceremony at the Highlawn Pavilion. He is so professional and easy to work with. The music was just beautiful. He came early to set up his equipment and then all this lovely sound came pouring out! Great selection of songs and recommendations for the processional and recessional. I would recommend him to anyone. And thank you, Gigmasters, for matching us up!
