Alan was a professional who worked with me and my wife for over a year to plan and organize my wedding from my home in New Jersey for a wedding in Acadia National Park, Bar Harbor, Maine. He learned our requested songs and even provided an original rendition of a song. Communication was excellent and prompt. Alan is a experienced musician who will absolutely make your big day something to remember.
Highly recommended!

Alan added just what we wanted for background. music. He understood our request and in a very professional manner played to the room.
Alan was great. He was very communicative and even learned new songs we asked him to play. Also it was a little of a unique situation where he played at our wedding ceremony and then had to change locations to the reception dinner, which he was happy to do. Would definately recommend him for any event you are planning.

Thank you Becky for your great review. It was,and honor play for your mother's memorial service and meeting you and your family. Alan
Alan was great, he arrived on time, set up easily even with a tight space and guests already arriving, and played beautifully. I'd hire him again!
Alan was punctual, polite, very helpful, had everything ready, chose the right music. A great musician and performer.
Alan was there to practice at the rehearsal and was early setting up for the wedding - he played songs for the guests while being seated. He never skipped a beat, he was well tuned and transitioned very well. I would hire Alan for any occasion just knowing his wide range of songs. Thanks Alan
Alan did a great job and met our expectations. We planned a classy dinner reception and his music really made the evening complete. He is very talented. Our guests really enjoyed him too! We have also listened to him play at a restaurant ...excellent! He is now my daughter's guitar teacher and doing a great job teaching.
