One Of The Best In The Wedding Industry


Having Richard play at our wedding was a decision we’ll treasure forever. From the first conversation, we could tell he genuinely cared about making our day special. He made the entire process so easy, taking the time to understand us and our story.
We still get chills thinking about the moment he played our song as I walked down the aisle. It felt like it was straight out of a movie. Guests couldn’t stop raving about the ambiance he created. If you’re looking for someone who’s not just talented but truly invested in your happiness, look no further.

All Our Guests Loved Richard

Richard is so great to work with. His professionalism, attention to detail, his interaction with our guests at dinner time was just above and beyond what we expected. He is so talented and made cocktail hour so much fun! He played all our favorite songs and even learned songs we requested. We cannot thank him enough for making our day so memorable and fun!

He Played All Our Favorite Songs

I first heard Richard play at my friend’s wedding and I thought wow where is that music coming from, I know this song. To see that it was him playing the guitar amazed me. He was playing my favorite R&B music but much better than I’ve ever heard it before! I honestly thought it was such a great highlight of this wedding to hear Richard play! As a wedding planner, I had to tell other brides about him when they are in search of a talented and unique musician. Not only is he incredibly talented, he is professional, kind, and humble. My team and I enjoy listening to him play and we enjoy working with him!

The Total Package

We found Richard on YouTube and were blown away by his talent—but meeting him in person was even better! He listened to our ideas, helped us pick the perfect songs, and was so warm and approachable throughout the process. Richard made planning so easy and took the time to ensure every detail was just how we wanted. Our guests adored his energy, style, and warmth. He was more than just our musician; he became a friend and part of our wedding memories.

Effortless and Exceptional

I cannot say enough about how wonderful Richard performed at our wedding. His music was soft background music and gave a wonderful selection of contemporary songs, mellow yet upbeat. He played during cocktail hour (perfect) and continued throughout the evening. He was very professional in every way. Kept in contact, arrived exactly on time, very organized. I would hire him for every future party.
