TESTIMONIALS

Chris graciously learned a traditional Celtic song for my wedding on the beach at Folly. My family and relatives from Ireland were very impressed. It definitely helped to make the day special for us. - Michelle B., Bride

Chris Crosby Music Trio is wonderful! The music was perfect for our wedding. They did a great job with our special request first dance song. I can tell that they work hard and love what they do! - Nicole C., Bride

Chris Crosby, simply put, is amazing. He truly made our wedding day special and we had so many compliments on his music and ability. And for a group of people that would not normally get up and dance, Chris' music made them all wish they had brought their dancing shoes - thank goodness they danced in their bare feet! We will definitely have Chris at our next party!! Michelle and Dan M., Bride & Groom
