Stewart made our wedding absolutely perfect!! He played acoustic instrumental during our ceremony and was also our cocktail hour entertainment with the most amazing voice and talent! The song selections were perfect— I only had a couple special requests for the ceremony which he totally nailed, and the rest of his set list was amazing. He is very professional, responsive, and a genuinely good guy. So many people asked where I found him and I couldn’t have asked for a better person to join us in celebrating our wedding! If I could give him 100 stars I would! Thanks so much for making our day so memorable! :)
We hired Stewart and Ashleigh to play during our wedding cocktail hour in July 2021. From our first contact with Stewart through our wedding day, he was extremely professional, responsive, and easy to work with. Him and Ashleigh put together a great setlist and were respectful of the space and event. They were also very flexible on the day of (originally planned on being outside, but rain forced cocktail hour inside). We had a 300 person wedding and they were a great addition to our evening. We would highly recommend them for your event!

Stewart and Ashleigh performed at my daughter’s 21st birthday party and were a huge hit. Not only was their musical performance amazing (both are super talented), but they also connected and conversed with the crowd throughout the evening, making it a memorable experience for everyone there. Great set list and they were able to work in a couple of requests as well. Highly recommend Stewart for your next event.

Stew was absolutely perfect for my backyard cocktail party. He showed up 30 minutes early and was set up and ready to go right on time. He played a great mix of modern pop, classic hits, and a lot of early 2000s rock (which I LOVED!) He wasn't too loud and was very respectful, you can tell he loves what he does.
He is a looker too... LOL! 10/10 would recommend!
