Wedding Testimonials:  Auberge du Soleil, Rutherford: “Our wedding was a perfect day. From food to the ambiance of John’s beautiful music it was absolutely what I had hoped for.”—Jennifer and Matt D.

“Music is hugely important in creating the day you want. There is so much we don’t remember, and yet we have distinct memories of our ceremony because they are tied to the music that was played. We are so appreciative for the contribution you made to our wedding. John, thank you for honoring us with your extraordinary talent.” – Lori & Robert
