Christina played at our wedding celebration and was such a joy to work with. She was responsive and made communication easy, adapted her repertoire to the vibe we were looking for, and was overall a lovely person to work with. Oh, and a very talented musician, of course :) Our guests were delighted, as were we. Highly recommend! Thanks again, Christina!
Response from Christina Darding, Classical Guitarist:
Thank you, Maggie! It was so wonderful to play for your beautiful wedding. Thank you for being such a gracious host. I was happy to provide music for your special day!
We were so pleased with our decision to hire Christiania Darding!! She was very professional and did what I asked, being it was a 90 yr old’s birthday party… I preferred light low sounding music. She was wonderful!!! Was on time, actually early, and went straight to work without bothering anyone. If you want a classy lady to play classical guitar— this is your best choice!!!!!
Christina did an amazing job at our outdoor wedding! The music was beautiful and Christina was very open to all our requests! She is a very sweet and talented person! I highly recommend her!
