Mr. Hines played during our cocktail hour at our family reunion and I am so thankful we chose him! He arrived a few hours early to set up, he was dressed in theme, and his music was phenomenal! If you’re thinking about hiring him for an event, don’t think twice, just DO IT! You will not be disappointed!

Mr. Hines did a phenomenal job at our wedding. He was very patient with our requests & took time in properly preparing the selected pieces. We had an outdoor ceremony midday & not once did he complain or appear to be aggravated even with last minute changes. He arrived in advance to setup his equipment & practice to ensure the sound was right. Our family enjoyed his music & we received lots of compliments. I will definitely book him again!

Ashley, you chose beautiful songs with poignant messages! It was a pleasure play them (I had fun on Signed, Sealed, Delivered, I must say!)! That you and your husband came to speak to me meant a lot! I enjoyed your wedding! Enjoy you life together!
