Daniel Buckland - Wedding Guitarist Feedback
“We were delighted with the guitar music played at our ceremony - it made the day more special.
”
“He played at our wedding ceremony and reception last weekend. He learnt and played a Morricone piece that we asked for as we walked down the aisle, and played it more beautifully than I could have imagined. Our guests commented on how lovely his music was and he was easy to get in touch with leading to the big day. Highly recommended.
