Perfect Addition To Artsy, Bohemian Style, Beach Wedding

Joshua was so easy to work with and eased the typical stressors associated with planning an out-of-state wedding in an unknown area. He honestly felt like part of our family! His beautiful cello solos were perfect for the unique aura of our daughter's intimate Atalaya Castle wedding in Murrells Inlet, SC. Tysm, Joshua!

Joshua was fantastic and very professional!

Joshua provided the perfect background music for our professional event. He knew the right kind of music to play to create the perfect ambiance. He was prompt, professional and needed little guidance while we were taking care of other things before the reception began. I would recommend him!
