Testimonials

"We had heard James play at my sister's wedding and as soon as our own wedding planning began we immediately called James. Our ceremony was outside on a beautiful fall day and James was able to provide the perfect touch of elegance and simplicity to complement the event. As the cocktail hour picked up James was right on cue with a fun filled and relaxed set of music. People complimented us on his performance for months to follow. It goes without saying that James is a truly gifted musician but what set him apart for us was his ability to tailor his performance perfectly for our needs. We highly recommend James to anyone planning a special event and would gladly provide a reference".~Larry and Erica Settembrini

"We were totally thrilled to have James play at our wedding.  First, he was really helpful with suggestions.  We had NO idea how to begin, and he worked with us to clarify what we wanted. As for song choices, anything from traditional classical music to fist-pumping, tongue-in-cheek rock is in his repertoire. James played it all -- skillfully and beautifully, adding to the ceremony without detracting from it.  Professional AND fun to work with. The kinda guy you'd be lucky to get to play the event -- and one of the few you'd actually want to stay and hang out with afterwards!  We give him the Highest recommendation".~Melissa Welch

"James played for our ceremony and cocktail hour at the Inn at Mystic.  Everything was perfect and we received tons of compliments about him.  James possesses a masterful combination of talent, diversity, and professionalism that compliment his fun and laid-back personality.  Following his performance, my sister-in-law immediately booked him for her wedding.  A strong recommendation would be an understatement."~Matt Barrett

"James, We really appreciate that you were able to play with such short notice. My Freinds and family raved about your variety of music and excellent vocals. Thanks for winging it on the "CUTTING THE CAKE" song since we didn't plan anyhing for that either. Really enjoyed your music and hope to see you again soon. If you ever need us as a reference feel free to send folks our phone number or e-mail address. Thanks Again."~ Dave and Sue Thibodeau
"James was a wonderful compliment to my daughter's wedding ceremony. He gave a touch of elegance that can only be attained through musical accompaniment. He proved to be a talented and gifted performer with the educational background that enabled him to help my daughter make appropriate choices in the musical selections. He made himself available both during the planning stage and the rehearsal. I have highly recommended Jim for other weddings and events."~ Veronica Ploof

"James Harris recently performed at my wedding ceremony. After weeks of searching for musicians to fit with the unique style of our ceremony James was recommended last minute by a friend. To James's credit he came through like a true professional. Not only did we give him very little notice to prepare, we asked him to learn two obscure songs and he had no problem with this. He not only learned the songs perfectly but he rearranged his schedule to attend our ceremony rehearsal. It was helpful to hear what the songs sounded like. James was a true asset and his music was superb. In addition he was professional and extremely helpful in assisting my wife to select the processional music. I would highly recommend James for any occasion".~Chris Wright
