"Hi Quinn, Great production, I often thought of my Steely Dan days during this!...Very well done, sounds great!" - Bob Ludwig (Mastering Engineer for "Slightly South of Stormy Clouds")
“Quinn, Man. You. Are. Talented! EVERYONE loved your performance at my sister’s wedding! From Guns N Roses to the Michael Jackson and everything in between, you set the ton for the perfect cocktail and dinner period and had many of my family asking when you are on tour so they can see you in an arena near them! I cannot wait to see you perform again!” – Matt Brys (Principal Entertainer/CEO Extreme Productions Entertainment)
"Quinn - thank you so much for sending your new CD, "Slightly South of Stormy Clouds". I get a lot of friends from Sacramento sending me their latest projects to get my take on them and I have to say, yours has been the most musically mature and best produced of any I've received. Excellent songs, arranged and played skillfully, produced with great audio clarity, and wrapped in a well conceived and executed art/cover concept. Very well done!" - Michael Gregory (Nashville, TN)
“We are so happy we chose Quinn for our outdoor wedding ceremony! His interpretation of our favorite songs made for a perfect and lovely addition to our special day. Quinn’s sound was flawless and he even provided us with an extra microphone to use for our ceremony at no extra cost. He is very professional and talented, very easy to coordinate and work with (even on short notice), responded quickly to any questions or communications, and came early to set up. Most importantly, Quinn has a great, positive attitude (a big plus when we were stressed out about wedding planning) and he genuinely wanted to make our ceremony special and memorable, which he totally did. We would highly, HIGHLY, recommend him to anyone needing live music for ANY occasion and we would gladly work with him on any of our future events.” – Jason & Elaine Redman
“Quinn is an outstanding musician and we were so pleased we asked him to be a part of our wedding. I highly recommend him for any event! Quinn was very easy to work with, accommodated all of my requests (including providing guitar accompaniment for two singers), extremely professional and is a very talented guitarist and singer. Quinn played acoustic guitar and sang while guests were arriving, during the processional and recessional, cocktail/appetizer hour and during dinner. Our family and friends were blown away by Quinn’s talent and are still talking about what an amazing find he was! We are so grateful to Quinn for providing such stellar music for our wedding!” – Amy Small & Brian Davis
“Our wedding had the perfect soundtrack with Quinn. The first time I heard him sing ‘Here comes the sun’, I knew I wanted to walk down the aisle to his voice, and throughout the night he told a beautiful story with his songs. Not only did his choice of song and incredibly soulful voice set the tone for my outdoor wedding, but he was such a joy to work with. He was so accommodating and you would not believe the songs that he made work for a wedding, including an amazing rendition of a very special Jimi Hendrix song for my father/daughter dance that made that dance even more special. Every single one of my guests commented on how amazing my “wedding singer” was and wanted to know where I found him. He made my day so unique, and it matched my style perfectly. I am so grateful I found him!” – Cassandra Hill
"Hi Quinn - Thank you so much for performing at my husband's party. I can't begin to express how perfect your music was and how much our guests enjoyed it.

We've been fans for over 10 years and Quinn, you just keep getting better; lucky us!!" - Joan Howe

Regardless of the occasion, I highly recommend investing in this gifted and truly professional musician.” – Tiffany Conklin
"I was extremely fortunate to have Quinn Hedges play for my husband's surprise b-day party in a winery in Napa. It wasn't the amazing location nor excellent wine that made that day unforgettable - it was Quinn's extraordinary music! It wasn't a big party, yet everybody was dancing, even those who never leave their table seats. All our guests absolutely LOVED Quinn who played a variety of music, some timeless hits and also his own incredible songs. Thank you so much for making that day a magical and special celebration for all of us!" - Paulina & Jamie Crook

Quinn was very accommodating in allowing us to use his microphones for the ceremony/speeches as well as his equipment for our reception.

I would highly recommend having him play at your event!” – Elise & Josh Hinkey

“Quinn Hedges was an integral part of our wedding. He was very easygoing yet professional, learned extra songs, showed up early, was a dapper dresser and I haven’t even mentioned his playing yet. Quinn’s musicianship is at the top of his craft. The romantic and easy vibe he created for our ceremony and cocktail hour were one of the highlights of our wedding. Quinn Hedges will make any event classy, romantic and lovely. I cannot recommend him enough.” – Tiffany Redmon (Brooklyn, NY)
“Our wedding would not have been complete without the soulful voice and music of Quinn Hedges. We were introduced to him by a mutual friend and had the pleasure of hearing him play at both Ten 22 in Old Sacramento and Bistro 33 in Davis. His range of songs, the tenor of his voice, and his musical talent are special and unique. And he’s a wonderful guy to work with! He learned new music and even customized it for us which was above and beyond our expectations. He changed an event he had scheduled so that he could play at our wedding which meant a lot to us since we knew we’d found the perfect person to share our special day. We highly recommend Quinn for a party, wedding celebration or any event where you need great music.” – Wendy & Gary Orr

He does not disappoint!” - Craig & Lori Buntin

He played an eclectic mix of covers as well as some of his outstanding original music.

Thanks Quinn for the wonderful evening! We look forward to seeing you at future gigs and inviting you back for an encore soon!” - Gary and Dawn Angelo

If you're having an upcoming event and are looking for a local musician, hands down Quinn is the best in town!” - Meitra Bozorgzadegan
