Andrew was extremely professional and flexible. He had excellent communication before my daughter's wedding. His trumpet playing was beautiful.....Trumpet Voluntary and Hornpipe were perfection!
Andrew is a very nice guy and was on time for the event , he made my sister so happy thank you again
Andrew’s professional contribution to our celebration exceeded our hopes and expectations.
Well we live in a guard gated community so the minute he crosses the gate I get a notification. He was 40 min early which put me in panic mode as my daughter was still napping. Luckily he always answers right away and we agreed that I would text him when we were ready. Once I told him to begin I thought he would follow my initial instructions of a serenade out front in our driveway instead he came to the door which almost ruined the surprise. His playing was great of course and he was very presentable but I probably should have double checked that he received my instructions.
Andrew was really great to work with! I hired him to play at my wedding for a little performance piece that I had surprised my groom with. He made time to meet for rehearsal, since I'd be singing along to him playing and was very responsive when I needed to get a hold of him. Very nice and professional guy!
Andrew is punctual, he was very organized. He found all the tracks for the songs I wanted to perform. His approach was creative. It was my first experience with such thing and Andrew made it really pleasant and professional, made me want to do it again. I surprised my husband for his birthday, knowing that my husband plays several instruments, I wanted it to sound perfect. My husband loved it and was amazed with Andrews performance. If you are looking to work with a pro and have a great time, go ahead and contact him.
Andrew played everything we asked for our wedding ceremony beautifully. Some of our planning was down to the last minute and he communicated with us quickly and easily. We are grateful he played on our special day.

---COVID UPDATE: During the pandemic I've developed a socially-distanced set up with a wireless and battery powered amp to play backing tracks. This gives a full sound of piano, drums, guitar, etc with live trumpet. I can customize the backing tracks to any song or style you'd like or play unaccompanied if preferred. Some events I've used this set up during the pandemic are: weddings, proposals, birthdays, private parties, funerals, church services, holiday parties, for audiences who just want to hear live music, and more.---
I play trumpet, any style you'd like. Classical, jazz, Latin (Salsa, Cumbia, Mariachi, Merengue), fanfares for ceremonies, weddings, birthdays, recording in the studio or live performances. I also put together groups from duos to orchestra and everything in between. I can arrange or compose original music for your event or project. I will work with you to make your event memorable and unique.
