Andrew Koontz

Andrew was amazing!! He played a few specific songs for us that made our small ceremony very special. I definitely cried!! It was short and sweet and we all loved it—there were definitely some breakout jigs. I would highly recommend him as he is very communicative and willing to work with your wishes. Really happy with how the event turned out!!

Andrew replied quickly and professionally to my inquiry. Andrew along with Bill were perfect for my Mom's 80th birthday party at a Pub. Great music and fun - everyone loved them!

Andrew's violin playing was exceptional. He played a wide range of songs at our wedding ranging from classical to foot-stomping Irish jigs. His range and musicianship are amazing. Thanks to Andrew, we got to hear the wedding music we had dreamed of. I would recommend him for any occasion.

He is very talented and very passionate and communicative during the whole process! Would certainly book again!

He was great

Andrew was awesome!! We had such a great time at my husband's birthday party. Andrew read the crowd perfectly and kept the festivities going. Everyone had a fantastic time and complimented the music and atmosphere. We will definitely hire Andrew again!

Thank you so much Andrew for giving our ceremony a special touch! ❤️

Andrew was the perfect addition to our historical society's fundraiser. "Denim Night" was held in an 18th century barn and the special fiddle music added much to the atmosphere! I highly recommend Andrew -- the consumate professional, his music was fantastic! Five Stars!!

Andrew and a guitarist that he works with provided beautiful music for our wedding reception. He was very professional and contacted me several times to make sure we were getting exactly what we wanted and that everything was properly announced at the reception. He even asked what we had for the dress code so he could be appropriately dressed. I was so happy with Andrew and the guitarist and couldn’t ask for anything better. All went smooth and beautifully. We had so many compliments from our wedding guests on the beautiful music they provided for us. I highly recommend Andrew for any event!!

Their music added so much joy to our day!

Andrew performed at our wedding ceremony and did a wonderful job! He arrived early to play music for the guests as they were seated and did some on-the-fly additions to the music when our little ring-bearer got shy walking down the aisle. He was polite, communicative, and most importantly, he played beautifully. I highly recommend Andrew!

We had an amazing trio perform to celebrate my parents' 50th wedding anniversary. Highly recommended.

Andrew was a delight! So may people loved him as he played at our wedding! I highly recommend! If i have any other future events needing music, I absolutely would be asking Andrew again!

I can’t say enough good things about Mr. Koontz. First of all, he is an awesome musician. Our guests gave him many compliments and quite a few asked me how I found him. When I booked him, I explained we wanted music during our hors d’oeuvres and cocktail hour and then for the first part of dinner. We were actually running ahead of schedule and so when he arrived and realized that our guests were arriving at the reception early, he began to play for us. I so truly appreciate his flexibility and willingness to accommodate a fluid situation so that there was no awkward silent time during our reception. I feel quite fortunate to have had him at our wedding reception. He truly made our day special.

I couldn't have asked for a better accompanist for our event! On very short notice he learned the music and understood exactly what was needed. His communication was terrific, he showed up early, his playing was outstanding, and he was good natured and professional. We'll do this event next year and I hope he's available again!!

I thought they performed very well. I and our membership enjoyed it. Seemed very appropriate for the Luck of the Irish Cocktail event we were hosting... would absolutely hire them again.

Andrew is awesome! So great to work with-timely responses, helpful with song selections, flexible, right on time and professional. We had to make a last minute location change and he didn't blink an eye. Made my Mom's birthday so memorable! Great guy! Would definitely recommend and use again.

We just recently had Andrew and his fellow band members perform at my wedding. We cannot rave enough about them. They were absolutely fantastic!!! All of our guests were talking about how good there were during our cocktail hour. I cannot recommend them enough.

Andrew along with Bill on vocals and guitar made our Scottish mom's 80th birthday party so much fun!

Easy to work with very thorough great performer

Andrew was absolutely phenomenal! He played for our wedding ceremony and we couldn’t be happier. He was very very easy to work with, and knew each of the songs we requested. Highly recommended!

Andrew couldnt have been more accommodating, loves his style of playing ....on time , dressed perfectly ...a complete professional - great guy ..

Andrew did a great job playing at our wedding. All of our guests appreciated his versatility with this songs he was able to pay. He came early and was very patient with us and played all the songs he requested.

Mr. Koontz was nothing short of amazing from start to finish.... Every aspect of our interactions were professional and done in a clear / timely manner.... He played classical music for our wedding ceremony, which was held on the beach. I would not hesitate to use Mr. Koontz again and would highly recommend him.

Andrew is very accommodating and a super talented player!!!!!!! Very much recommend him. His soul went into every piece. Thank you Andrew for making our wedding day so much more special!!!!!!!!!! And I will be recommending to you to my friends.

The music was superb. It made the party great! My guests could not stop talking about how great the music was all night. I got several calls after the party! Will definitely see Andrew in the near future.

We hired Andrew Koontz and two of his fellows musicians for our daughter’s wedding. They played Irish music for an hour and a half with no break, and they were fantastic. They sounded great and were very professional and friendly. Many of our guests commented on how much they enjoyed their performance. It was one of the highlights of the reception, and we highly recommend them.

Andy was so easy to work with, responsive and flexible. His performance was outstanding. All the attendees at my event absolutely loved him and we look to engage him for future events. Top-notch all the way!!!

His choice of period music added a fantastic addition to our historic benefit dinner!

Andrew and Bill were a great addition to a surprise party. I received many thanks from all of the guests for booking them. They were professional and very sociable with everyone. Couldn't have asked for more.

Thank you for attending. See you next year

Professional and accommodating. Wonderful addition to our daughters surprise wedding. Would use again, hopefully when I could enjoy him more.

Working with Andrew was such a wonderful and easy experience. We loved having him at our wedding ceremony - he played perfectly! Very gifted musician!

You cannot go wrong with these guys! They provided wonderful entertainment for our family reunion. They played almost non stop and sounded awesome! I wouldn’t hesistate to recommend them to anyone!

I've been lucky enough to have had Andrew and his talents at many events from country music to Irish music and everything in between. A true, gifted professional that I can't recommend strongly enough.

Andrew played during my wedding processional and throughout the ceremony. We wanted the event to be old-world and unique and held it in a 19th century carriage house on a misty winter night. Andrew helped make the night very special! I'll never forget walking down the stairs and through all my loved ones and friends to his music. It set the tone for a beautiful and timeless celebration and is something we'll have forever in our video.

Andrew is an accomplished musician with a wide repertoire.
My daughter was married a few years ago, and
Andrew played at a rehearsal party held in a private home.
The music was wonderful and made the evening special. If
I were to do the wedding over, I would have him play for that
as well.

The Ballycastle band, including Andrew Koontz, are a perennial favorite at our library. We have booked them many times now and people ask for them by name. They always get toes tapping, and sometimes it turns into a sing-along! They are easy to work with, reliable, and consistently put on a professional-quality show. They really connect with the audience. We're always happy to have them back!

Thank you Andrew for adding to the festivities at my daughter's wedding. You were terrific!
