Hired on Thumbtack

We can’t say enough nice things about Nat! We hired Nat just a few weeks before our Christmas wedding. We decided to have a small, intimate wedding and we were looking for some background music for our dinner event. Well, Nat did that and more! Not only did he add a wonderful element to our evening, but he even learned several new songs within just a couple weeks! Nat read the vibes of the room, played a mix of Christmas songs, Disney songs, contemporary hits, and even knocked out the theme from La La Land! (Note: he came with a significant repertoire of songs, and didn’t need us to provide any requests, but he certainly listened to our wishes!) And yes, we asked for him to throw some Disney songs in during dinner. All our guests raved about his music and he added the perfect element to our very special evening. Thank you, Nat!
