He was easy to work with, friendly, and a really, really talented musician. And we received SO many compliments from our guests on how much they enjoyed the music he played!" -Sarah & Matt | Married June 25, 2022 "We are so happy we decided to book Austin. He was so easy to communicate with and was so flexible about all of our music choices - he has a long list of songs in his repertoire, but was even kind enough to learn a brand new song that we specially requested because it was meaningful to us. And of course, he sounded beautiful on the day of. If you want a special and unique addition to your wedding day music, I would definitely go with Austin." -Hannah & Frank | Married June, 2022 "Austin preformed at our ceremony on May 1, 2022. He was great to work with, he's a good communicator, asked questions, followed our few suggestions and worked out a great set list. We were super pleased with his music and recommend him highly!" -Iwona and Rafal | Married May 1, 2022 "Met Austin online and what you see is what you get. Great communication from start to finish. As a fellow musician, I was able to communicate in a familiar language, but even if I had not been, Austin was clear on our music choices and came in prepared to keep the evening warm with beautifully covered songs, improvised like a true professional. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the music which complimented the space and enhanced our special evening. I would highly recommend Austin Charnis for intimate weddings and similar occasions!" -Alan & Katharyn | Married February, 2022 "Austin is an absolute gem of a find! He came recommended by another young musician who told us "I know someone who will make your day magic" and Austin delivered! Every communication we had felt like speaking to a friend, someone you would trust with these precious moments. He was so flexible (we kept changing our song choices) and when we finally settled, he played them all SO beautifully! He added heart to our ceremony and soul to our cocktail hour. He even helped facilitate all of the toasts during dinner, going above and beyond the role of a musician. I could not be happier with Austin, and am hoping to find an excuse to have another party so that I can hire him again :) -Brigitte & Adam | Married October, 2021 "Austin performed acoustic guitar and provided the sound for our outdoor wedding ceremony and cocktail hour this past fall and his performance helped to create exactly the atmosphere that my husband and I were looking for! From the very start, Austin was quick to respond and provided us with clear options for the music choices we were looking for. Even when we had to postpone our wedding due to COVID-19, Austin was accommodating and supportive. I highly recommend Austin to anyone looking for beautiful music to set the mood for any event!" -Heather & Dan | Married October, 2021
