Wonderful guitar

Ryan was the most perfect addition to our drinks reception. Beautiful guitar which was thoroughly enjoyed by all of our friends and family. Ryan was great at communicating in the lead up to our wedding too. Would definitely recommend having Ryan play at your wedding!

Perfect to addition to our ceremony

Maple & Ore turned up to the ceremony venue early and had already arranged how he was going to work with the registrar, so I as the groom ad to do nothing. Super professional, a lot of guests afterwards at the drinks reception commented how good he was and how the live music had made the ceremony far more atmospheric and memorable to other ceremonies they had attended. Very glad we hired him!

Amazing part of our ceremony and cocktails

We were looking for an acoustic musician for our ceremony and cocktail hour and are so thrilled we found Ryan. He was able to accommodate requests for our ceremony which added the most emotional and personal touch to our day. He was super responsive and easy to communicate with, and managed the set up and breakdown entirely solo which took stress away from us. Thank you again!

Fantastic!

Ryan did a fantastic job at our wedding. Loads of people told us how great he sounded. He was really helpful with choosing songs to play at different parts of the day, and overall got the song selection spot on. He created a really nice atmosphere during both the ceremony and the reception
