“It was such a pleasure to work with Andy and we are so happy to have booked him for our wedding day. He has such an amazing talent and we received so many compliments from our guests of how good our guitarist was. Andy played our specially requested song, for the walk down the aisle, perfectly and this will be a memory that we will cherish forever. It was also so lovely to finally meet him in person on the day, as the communication before the wedding was easy, and effortless and he just seems like such a nice guy. We can honestly say that Andy helped to make our day a special one and can highly recommend him.”
