About Michael

“Michael is the absolute BEST! I can’t rave enough! I hired Michael to help me surprise my groom by singing him an acoustic song with Michael on guitar. Furthermore, to pull off the surprise, I had Michael sing and play the guitar for the wedding ceremony music, performing a prelude, the aisle song, and a recessional. His voice and guitar playing is stunning, bright, and emotive. It made the ceremony feel so special and intimate.”
