About
Hi! I’m Chris, an instrumental guitarist with over ten years experience providing high-quality music for weddings and events. I would be delighted to lend my expertise to ensure your wedding is a beautiful and unforgettable day perfectly tailored to your tastes.
I travel nationwide and offer music for Civil, Spiritual and Religious Ceremonies as well as music for Drinks Reception, Pre-dinner, Dinner Show and Day 2. I specially arrange all of my repertoire and will perform any music the couple chooses as a special request to add that extra magic to your big day. I work closely with all of my couples to assist them in curating the perfect repertoire for their ceremonies. My Drinks Reception and Day Two set is extensive, and with a huge range of styles and genres under my fingers – from classical, contemporary and celtic to pop, folk, traditional, jazz, latin, bossa nova, flamenco and even movie soundtracks – I guarantee there’ll be something for every mood and setting.
The sound of the guitar is a special thing and few instruments can evoke the sense of beauty and intimacy it brings. It would be my privilege to help you to create the perfect musical soundtrack to your special day – visit my Instagram and website (where you’ll also find a helpful F.A.Q), and get in touch now to learn how we might work together to make your special day unforgettable.
Important Note: please include a contact phone number in your inquiry so I can send a text to confirm my response to your email, in case a spam filter catches the response. Thanks in advance!
