Absolutely Amazing, Knowledgeable, and Helpful
We hired Ed for our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour to play guitar and violin and he delivered on both fronts and more. With his experience, he was able to advise on the ceremony, how the procession should be arranged, seating arrangements, and how to stir up the crowd at the happy hour. He never once told us what to do but could always answer our questions, even if they were beyond the scope of music. He was an excellent musician and played all kinds of genres and could accommodate any request we or our guests made, but what truly stood out was how much he cared that our wedding day went perfectly and that we were happy. With that attitude, he was one of our favorite vendors to work with and truly made the wedding come together. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for a musician who goes the extra mile to make their wedding day special. Thank you Ed! -

Professional, attentive and genuine
Ed's services were recommended to us by our officiant Captain Ray Goad. Our wedding was small and intimate, and we did not plan on having a musician. We weren’t sure how to incorporate a one-man band into the casual ceremony on a boardwalk by the beach. We scheduled a zoom meeting with Ed and he patiently helped us map out all of the details. By the end of the call, our simple nuptials had evolved into something beautiful. He suggested things we never would have thought of that really added value to the experience. The wedding day was absolutely perfect and we could not have done it without Ed!My Wedding Musician's reply:
Cara, thank you so much for your kind words and providing an old guy like me such a nice memory! In addition to your ceremony, I'm so glad you liked the idea of adding a First dance, Father / Daughter dance, and Mother / Son dance to the mix before you all went to dinner. Take good care and give Chris a big hug from 'moi' :) -

Julissa Sent on 02/27/2023Awesome, very detailed!
We loved working with Ed! He was very detailed and attentive since the first meeting/phone call. He did such a great job at organizing timeline detail by detail. He really works along side you to make your wedding vision come alive. We loved he is willing to go the extra mile to make sure everything is neat and in order and you are happy with the outcome, song choices and style. I would totally recommend him anytime! He does all in one, Musician/DJ/MC coordinator, he is great! We loved everything from begin til the end.My Wedding Musician's reply:
Julissa, if I live to be 100, I will never forget playing for seeing you come down the aisle to I Get To Love You, as well as all the other wonderful songs for your ceremony, AND acting as your MC / DJ for your super nice and super fun reception afterwards! Thank You for all the nice memories of our time together on Zoom, and seeing it all come together so beautifully on the BIG DAY! God Bless and wishing you and Gabriel a lifetime of Love, Health, Happiness and Prosperity. you 'deserve' it! With all sincerity, ED -

Ed was so amazing to work with. My husband and I set up several zoom meetings with him and he truly got to know us and what we were wanting for our wedding. Ed learned all the songs we wanted, and he was absolutely incredible! He interacted with our guests and everyone loved him! Cannot recommend enough!My Wedding Musician's reply:
Hi Kara and hope all is well for you and Jared! Thank you for your kind words, and allow me to say it was a genuine pleasure playing for your wedding at Wycliff Country Club! Yours was especially memorable as you chose so unique songs such as September Grass, You and I, You Make My Dreams Come True, Lifetime for your entrance, and We Go Together for your recessional. (and Lifetime was my favorite Here's wishing you both ALL THE VERY BEST and Thank You for choosing me for your special day...it was an honor! :) -

Rafaela S. Sent on 11/19/2022The best investment ever
AH where to begin?! Wish I could rate him 10 stars! Ed, from beginning to end, was crucial to my wedding!! I think hiring Ed was one of the BEST decisions I made, I could not begin to think what I would have done without him. Planning a wedding in Florida from Seattle was A LOT and Ed made the journey of organizing my ceremony SO much easier, we met via zoom for the first time where he introduced himself, displayed all his instruments and assured me my ceremony would be taken care of regarding order of events and songs. He did not fail. Ed is so much more than a musician, I felt like he helped me with my wedding like a grandad would. He learned an entire song for me and made my entrance song a whole project, contacted people on my behalf, spoke to my officiant, learned my bridal party's names, just outstanding work!! Over a few zoom calls and texts, he put my entire dream together, he is extremely organized, shared with me a timeline via a document of drafts and the final product.. communication was stellar. He also conducted my entire wedding rehearsal. I cannot stress enough how important it was to have Ed be part of my wedding, he played BEAUTIFULLY not one or two but three instruments and made me feel so peaceful. THANK YOU ED. 100000% recommend!!!My Wedding Musician's reply:
AH, where do 'I begin? To those reading this, let me first say that I fell in love with the wonderful couple the first time I met them on Zoom, and after discussing some of the things she was looking for, I knew that this one was going to be WAY special and had to say YES! This being a rather religious ceremony, everything revolved around this beautiful Christian song - Worthy Of It All, which I had never heard before. After listening to it first together, I had said that I would make a custom piano accompaniment track as I played that song on violin for 'her' walk down the aisle. But then it got really cool! After her entrance, she had a friend who was to sing the same song, and rather than using the same piano track, I made an entire new backing track with an orchestra to better suit the vocalist, and I couldn't have been more thrilled with seeing it come together so spectacularly, and I 'still' can't get that song and the memory of it out of my head.
Rafaela, THANK YOU for writing such a nice review, and if you ever come back down to sunny South Florida from Seattle, please give me a call, and would love to see you and Nicolas again and see how you're doing. In the meantime, please accept my sincerest best wishes for a lifetime of Love, Health, Prosperity, Happiness, and Faith...you both 'deserve' it. Respectfully, ED -

Adelyn O. Sent on 08/14/2022Excellent Entertainment with Ed!
Ed was the musician for our wedding this August! From live instruments during the cocktail hour, to several meetings with us to make sure the introductions, first dance and DANCE FLOOR were exactly what we wanted, we loved working with Ed. Prior to the event he was very communicative and knowledgeable and at the event very flexible making sure folks always stayed on the Dance Floor. He worked with a special Emcee of ours and truly made the night a very special one for our guests. Would Highly recommend for your event!My Wedding Musician's reply:
Hi Adelyn, and hope J. are doing great and enjoying married life! (there's nothing so nice as to use the words "my husband" or "my wife" when talking to people about your spouse) THANK YOU for all the kind words, and allow me to say that I think I had more fun DJ'ing your wedding than any other I've done! (and thanks for all the song suggestions - they were all top notch! Thank you again, and give a big hug to hubby from 'moi' and wishing you both ALL THE BEST! :) -

Musician for Ceremony and Cocktail hour
Our experience with Ed was amazing and planned out perfectly from beginning to end. Ed made our wedding even more memorable by playing the more non-traditional music we asked for (pink panther/mission impossible; ask him about it, it was a highlight of the wedding). Ed made sure all questions were answered and made sure everyone was on schedule with how we planned everything out together. And most importantly, his music was beautiful and all of our guests agreed. Every person commented on how beautiful our ceremony and cocktail hour was and that was all thanks to Ed. We would absolutely recommend Ed to all of our friends and family.My Wedding Musician's reply:
Ashley, hi and hope all is well for you and Dex! I'm sorry, I went on vacation shortly after your posted this, and this is the first time I saw this...so now it's MY turn, lol!
THANK YOU for the kind words and for choosing me to be a part of your BIG DAY, and I loved every minute of our Zoom meetings, and email, and it was a joy working with you on your wedding, and what a wedding it was! Yep, the Pink Panther / Mission Impossible thing for the groomsmen was a real hoot, and all your other choice of songs was spot on and beautiful as well! (and I had a great time playing for the cocktail hour too!)
Please give Dex a big hug from 'moi' and him to give you one in return, and wishing you ALL THE BEST for a lifetime of love and fun together, and thanks for the memories! :)

Jennifer K. Sent on 06/12/2022Ed is your guy!
From the initial consult, it became clear to me that Ed is THE musician you must have. Ed is extremely talented and plays 4 instruments - guitar, violin, mandolin, and ukulele. He is very detail-oriented and knows how to take the lead and plan an evening to remember. Ed has quite the repertoire of music and is there to help guide you in selecting music for your ceremony. I had requested a song to walk down the aisle that Ed never heard of before. Without hesitation, he asked me to play it so he could hear it. After hearing it briefly, he was able to play along with the music and agreed that would be my song. Wow I was impressed! It was apparent that Ed invested a lot of time in preparation for my wedding so that everyone had a memorable experience. I received lots of feedback from my guests about how much they thoroughly enjoyed hearing Ed’s music. I highly recommend him ten times over!My Wedding Musician's reply:
Jennifer, hi and hope you and Ricardo are enjoying 'married life' and you're newest titles of Mr. and Mrs. :) Thank you for taking the time to submit such a nice review for me....it is SO MUCH appreciated! Thank you also for choosing me as your wedding musician, and yes, when you first requested 10.000 Hours, I loved the whole vibe of the song and enjoyed making a special piano backing track for it...and truth be told, a few of your guests asked me "what was that beautiful song you played for Jennifer?"
It was a pleasure indeed to have been a part of your wedding day, and THANK YOU for choosing me as your wedding musician and wishing you both a lifetime of love happiness, and mazel! ED -

Ed Rocks!!
Ed was truly one of the highlights of our big day. I promise, nobody will care more about your wedding, besides bride and groom, than Ed will. He will take the time to make sure everything is perfect, you are happy, and that everyone is on the same page. He was a bright spot for us throughout the entire process 💙My Wedding Musician's reply:
HI Chris and hope you and Shaina are enjoying "married life'! (and considering how super nice you both are, I can't imagine how you wouldn't be :) Thank you for all the kind words, and allow me to say that you were a 'bright spot' for me as well, as I had such a delightful time working with you both on your wedding and seeing it come together so beautifully at The Oceanic! Take good care of each other, and if I could ever be of service to you for 'anything' in the future please don't hesitate to call me, it would be GREAT to see you both again! Warmest Wishes Always, ED -

Nicole V. Sent on 04/13/2022Wonderful musician, music and value!
Ed is such a gem to work with. He played at my wedding in Boynton Beach at Benvenuto's on 3/10/2022 and did a fantastic job. He played for a total of 2.5 hours for our b'deken, ceremony, and cocktail hour and it added so much to the ambiance and excitement. Ed goes above and beyond to help everyone stay organized during the processional, even going so far as to make name tags for where everyone should sit after they walk down the aisle. He is very available for organizing calls and offers a lot of great suggestions and ideas. He was flexible with the way we wanted to do our ceremony and b'deken, even when it wasn't the standard way! He totally lives up to his great reviews and I highly recommend him to anyone searching for a talented and fun wedding musician!My Wedding Musician's reply:
Nicole, hi and hope 'married life' is going great for you and Paul! Thank You so much for all the kind words ... and now it's 'my' turn, lol! It was 'such' a pleasure working with you on your amazing, unforgettable and quite unique wedding, and I LOVED minute of our Zoom meetings, texts, phone calls, etc.! (and can only 'wish' that the folks reading this could have been there to see it!)
Again, thank you for submitting such a nice review for me, and if I can be of service to you for anything else in the future (perhaps your baby shower?, lol) please don't hesitate to contact me, as it would be great to see you again. Wishing you both ALL THE BEST for a wonderful and prosperous life together! L'CHAIM! -

Ed guided me to plan the ceremony and organize everyone’s entrance. He made name tags for the first two rows. He played multiple instruments during my ceremony and cocktail hour. All my guests absolutely loved him! I got so many compliments. Ed is very professional and made my ceremony super special! Also, we had many last minute changes because of covid and he was very accommodating. I absolutely recommend Ed to make your day extra special. Thank you Ed!My Wedding Musician's reply:
Maria, hi and hope you're enjoying 'married life' so far, and trust me...it gets better every year! (and now it's my turn, lol)
There are weddings, and there are weddings, and yours last week at the Deer Creek Golf Club was truly one of my favorites, as it had wonderful song selections, extremely pleasant guests, beautiful bridesmaids and groomsmen, a cocktail hour I'll long remember, and one of the nicest couples I've ever had the pleasure of working with! Thank you for all the nice words, and my sincerest BEST WISHES to you and Elti for a lifetime of love and happiness! (and please give him a big hug from 'moi!) :) -

Ed is the BEST!!!!!!! BOOK HIM!
Ed is the absolute best. He performed at our wedding on 11/9/2021. We had an intimate wedding of 14 people and Ed was the perfect addition. Every guest RAVED about Ed and how he was so great and nice and an amazing musician. From the moment we first spoke I knew we were in good hands. We had a two hour zoom call to go over specifics of the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. He lifted such a weight off of our shoulders as he knew exactly what decisions needed to be made, transitions that needed to happen, etc. He created a full itinerary of our day. He provided uplights, ceremony script examples, MC-ed our reception. HE IS THE BEST! Our day would not have been the same without Ed. Everything was seamless. Gusts are still raving. We will absolutely book Ed for any and all events we may have in the future. He even found out that one of our siblings also plays the ukulele and invited them to play a song. He is like the best uncle at your wedding - he brings the party. THANK YOU ED!!!!!!! You nailed it.My Wedding Musician's reply:
Abby, where do I start? *First, by saying Thank You for all your kind words, *second, by saying Thank You for choosing me for your special day, and *third for saying that I had an absolutely WONDERFUL time acting as your Musician MC / DJ! and proving that even small weddings can be just as grand (and FUN) as large ones. especially 'your' guests! (those folks can dance!)
Please give Sam a big hug from 'moi' and it was a pleasure being Uncle Ed for your wedding! Wishing you both ALL THE BEST! -

Michael C. Sent on 07/24/2021A True Professional
My wife and I were crazy enough to think we can plan a wedding by ourselves in 3 months—and somehow we did it.
One of my mandatories during the process was music. I did a ton of searching online, but when I found Ed and read the reviews, I knew he was the one.
Without a doubt, I attribute the success of the ceremony and reception to Ed's thoughtful approach to his role in the wedding. His experience is apparent through his attention to detail, recommendations and advice he gives us every step of the way.
I tell my wife that we hired him to play music at the ceremony, but he ended up as our honorary wedding planner.
If he's available, you better book him.My Wedding Musician's reply:
Michael, thank you SOOO MUCH for all your kind words...but now it's MY turn, lol! It was an 'absolute pleasure' working with you and Jennifer on all the facets of your wedding, and I was both 'thrilled' that the ceremony ,despite having to move things around at Fairchild Gardens due to the rain. came out so beautifully, and 'surprised' by how much FUN everyone had at Bulla Gastrobar for the reception, as I know originally we planned for something a bit more on the 'quiet side' - didn't happen! :)
Thank you for choosing me as your Musician / MC / DJ and please give a BIG hug and thank you to your lovely wife from 'moi' and wishing you both a lifetime of love and happiness! -

very memorable and personalized experience!
Ed was fantastic in all aspects! He worked closely with us to customize the soundtrack for our entire wedding-- prelude, processional, recessional, cocktail hour music, first dance, song dedication requests, dinner music etc. and even turned us on to some things we never considered. Our zoom meetings with him were one of the most fun parts of the wedding planning process! He is an extremely skilled arranger--my husband chose a very technically demanding piece, originally composed for guitar, and Ed made a wonderful violin rendition! Additionally he transformed a beautiful video game piece into something that you would expect to hear in any concert hall, for my processional song. Aside from his skills as a musician, Ed is also a fantastic communicator. From the day we booked him up until the day of our ceremony on 5/8/21 he was always in touch, kept to his deadlines and never had us concerned about his involvement in the wedding. He was always on top of things, proactive and very organized. Not only will Ed work well with you, but he is also a great team player with other vendors. Last but not least he was a giant hit with our guests and even with the venue's staff. We are so glad we booked him as he was integral to our wedding day being so special, memorable and seamless. He truly wants the couple to be happy on their special day and it shows!My Wedding Musician's reply:
Michelle, hi and hope all is well and you're enjoying 'married life' with you Adrian! In all honesty, I don't know 'how' to thank you enough for ALL your kind words in your review, so allow me to simply say that I LOVED working with you on all the details of your truly unique wedding, and for the opportunity of sharing it all with your friends and family! *and I'm still playing Streets Of Whiterun in my head, and seeing you come into that beautiful song was something I'll not forget!
Again, THANK YOU for all the fond memories of our time together, (both via ZOOM and finally meeting you in person) and sincerely wishing you both a lifetime of love, health, happiness, and prosperity....you are indeed deserving of every bit of it!
Your friend always, ED :) -

Ed is Amazing! You Should Hire Him
I wasn’t sure we needed a musician for or cocktail hour and ceremony. I was SO WRONG! Our wedding was meant to be on the beach, very laid-back, with few frills. But a family member encouraged us to speak with Ed, and I’m so glad! He brought a classy, beachy vibe to our wedding that made the event absolutely perfect. He met with my fiancé and I a couple of times virtually (we’re out of state) to get a feel for who we were as a couple, and he even made some amazing recommendations for songs that he could play. We had a silly request to include Disney’s “Lava” song, and he incorporated it into our stand ceremony. It was more beautiful and more perfect than I could’ve ever imagined. Despite a torrential downpour on the day of our wedding, it didn’t matter. The music helped us feel like we were still on the beach, and everyone had a fabulous time. I would recommend Ed to anyone! He’s your guy.My Wedding Musician's reply:
Hi Jennifer, and THANK YOU for all your kind words, and yes, I'm SO GLAD that you were 'SO WRONG' as it led me to getting to know you and Steve, and the opportunity to share in your most charming, and most lovely wedding! I LAVA'D IT, lol! (and thank you also for having me play your cocktail hour as I had a blast playing for all your kind, and fun, guests!)
Again, thank for choosing me as your wedding musician. and sharing your special day with me, and please give a big volcano LAVA hug to your hubby from me! :) -

Amazing musician
Not only was he amazing on all of the instruments he played on, he helped us with so many things before and during ceremony. He helped us conduct our rehearsal and was willing to help us with last minutes changes. Would 100% recommend to anyone looking to add a little something special to their ceremony.My Wedding Musician's reply:
Emily, hi and hope you and Chris are enjoying 'married life' as much as I do! Thank you for your kind words and submitting a review to Wedding Wire for me, and allow me to say that it was an honor to have shared in your special day at Jupiter Lighthouse, and seeing your walk down the aisle to Sleeping At Last is a memory I'll treasure always. Thank you for your trust in choosing me as your wedding musician, and wishing you both ALL THE VERY BEST! -
