In a word "superb"! Mr. Horowitz far exceeded our expectations with his talent, versatility, and professionalism. He is a crowd pleaser for all ages. He made my daughter's birthday a truly memorable occasion. I would highly recommend him for any event. Thank you Mr. Horowitz!
Mery M. (Sweet sixteen luncheon March 17, 2012)

"I was thoroughly pleased and impressed with every aspect concerning my dealings with Ed Horowitz. He was, by far the most professional, conscientous person that I dealt with for my son's Bar Mitzvah. Ed, at his own suggestion and at no charge to us, attended a rehearsal with the rabbi and even checked out the venue beforehand, just to make sure that everything went according to schedule. He arrived early on the day of the event, and played beautifully, not only during the service, but the cocktail hour as well. I would highly recommend him for any type of event and would gladly use him again in the future."
Nancy M. (Bar Mitzvah service / cocktail hour - March 3, 2012)

"If you want a pro to do a great job, hire Ed - he is very good with the insrtuments and the music, especially the violin - it resonates to your soul.
For a birthday or a special ocassion you will not be dissapointed, we will use him again and I highly recomend him!"
John D. (Birthday party for his Mom at their home - February 19, 2012)

"Ed is a very talented and easy vendor to work with. We told him about our theme of the wedding and he ran with it. Ed made such a great suggestion for our wedding that made our guests in ah! His creativity and attention to detail is amazing. Brides don't worry about this vendor, he was on time and his music was beautiful."
Lisa and Rick (wedding ceremony - February 18, 2012)

"We were lucky enough to have Ed recommended for our musician. He was very friendly and excited when we first spoke with him to arrange a meeting. Once we met him in person, we were hooked. His enthusiasm is infectious and his talent is amazing! He plays a wide range of instruments - he brought a guitar, violin, and mandolin to the meeting with him. My husband showed him the banjo he had played as a kid and Ed started to play that as well! (Yes, he plays better than my husband!) Not only that, it seems his repertoire is endless. We were throwing out suggestions - from classical to Sinatra to the Beatles - and he would just start playing them on whatever instrument he had in hand. He had spectacular ideas and suggestions. He actually put together a timeline to assist our planners that showed the cues, which wedding party member would walk to what song, and the order for our ceremony. The planners were quite impressed and that's what we used as the guideline for our entire ceremony. Our officiant was late, but that did not phase Ed, he made sure everything went off without a hitch. He played beautifully and played whatever instrument best suited the songs we chose - both with and without backing tracks. It MADE the ceremony. He then moved his instruments to the reception area and strolled among our guests while playing our favorite songs. He truly is a "Strolling Musician" and so much more. He felt like part of the family. We loved working with him and would recommend him to anyone wanting beautiful music at their event or anyone just wanting to meet a talented, great guy. If you're reading this - thanks for everything Ed, the ceremony couldn't have been as wonderful without you. "
Doe and Joe (wedding ceremony and cocktail hour - February 11, 2012)

 "Ed was an elegant addition to our garden wedding. Our family and friends commented on how they enjoyed the music both before, during and after the wedding. His music flowed seamlessly through the setup, procession, wedding ceremony, and reception cocktail party. He was quite versatile, knowing songs from all genres that he played on violin, guitar or mandolin which created a lovely atmosphere. He was professional yet warm and friendly. He proved to be someone you can count on to provide a quality service".
Bobbie and Don (wedding ceremony and cocktail hour - January 21, 2012

"We hired Ed Horowitz to perform at our event. Well, he totally added the WOW factor to the party. He is so talented, versatile, elegant, and... affordable! Ed brought glamour, style and sing along to our reception. We cannot wait for the opportunity to hear him play again."
Rosana S. (Christmas party - December 23, 2011)

"What a beautiful day Ed helped us create for our destination wedding on the beaches of Ft. Lauderdale Florida. From the first conversation to the follow up email, Ed is a true professional gentleman in every sense of the word. His playing ability is out of this world. His suggestions turned into delightful surprises for our guests. And he entertained us during our lunch with favorites, requests, kids songs, show tunes, and sing-a-longs. He charmed us all. He will forever be remembered as being an important and special part of our wedding. Grow Love!"
Mike and Wendy (wedding ceremony and brunch - December 4, 2011)

"Ed was an absolute pleasure to work with and provided our ceremony and cocktail hour with the perfect touch of elegance and beautiful music that anyone would be fortunate to have at their wedding. He is an extremely talented musician and went above and beyond to attain the vision I had for my wedding. Everyone there kept complementing our violinist that night and raving about how beautiful the music was. I highly recommend his services. His music will be one of the best parts of your special day!"
Dalia and Robert (wedding ceremony and cocktail hour - November 26, 2011)

"Ed is such an amazing and talented person! From day one he answered his phone and emailed me information right away. He kept in touch with us throughout the months before the wedding and was always patient and sincerely cared about making our wedding the best day of our lives! He also met with us to personally select songs and helped us figure out how we wanted our ceremony to be structured (ie. who to walk down the aisle first). That is just a little bit about Ed's professional manner...let me get into the music aspect. My husband and I got married on the beach so it was pretty windy. Ed's PA system was loud and crisp and the beautiful music that he played that day will forever be in my memory. Everyone at the wedding was talking about the music hours later at the reception and still now, one month later. Not only that but you can tell that he REALLY enjoys what he does and that is important...I am so glad that I decided to go with Ed as our wedding ceremony musician! Thank you Ed!!
Leanne and Rick (wedding ceremony - November 12, 2011)

"We had a beach front ceremony and Ed was very accomodating to my requests. He was pleasant to work with and flexible when things didn't go as planned. I would highly recommend his services."
Phyllis and Ed (wedding ceremony - November 12, 2011)

"It was a pleasure working with Ed from the very beginning. He was great about communicating with us and making sure that we had everything we needed for our ceremony and cocktail hour. Aside from being an excellent musician, he had very helpful suggestions. He worked very well with the venue's coordinator to make sure that the music was in-sync with every step of the ceremony. Most of all, he was on time, reliable, orgranized, and great to work with. We received many compliments on the ceremony and cocktail hour music. We very very lucky to have him, and we would highly reccomend him!"
Candace and Shaun (wedding ceremony / cocktail hour - November 4, 2011

"Ed did such a wonderful job! The music was beautiful, and he had great suggestions! He is so nice. Overrall he is GREAT!!"
Rebecca and Raymond (wedding ceremony - November 5, 2011)

"Ed Horowitz was an incredible asset to our wedding ceremony. I had so many ideas, and he helped focus me and offered helpful feedback from his many years of experience. He learned to play a blues song on the guitar I had requested of him for our ceremony,  AND, when I told him I wanted my cousin to sing the seven blessings during our ceremony but had no idea what melody would be appropriate, HE WROTE SOMETHING COMPLETELY ORIGINAL! Using the Internet, he sent the instrumental songs to my cousin, who could practice them before the wedding. He cared about making our ceremony special, unique and an expression of my husband and I. We got so lucky by finding him! I'm happy to offer more information if you have questions."
Stacey and Ben (wedding ceremony - September 18, 2011)

"Mr. Ed Horowitz was wonderful at our  wedding's cocktail hour. From his prompt response of our intial inquiry all the way to his general gracious demeanor and professionalism,we truly enjoyed working with Ed.
