    Beautiful music!

    Andrew played our prelude, ceremony, and cocktail hour music and he was absolutely wonderful! The renaissance piece he played for our processional provided the most beautiful atmosphere and I felt like I was in a movie. Chris was super flexible and easy to work with as we made arrangements ahead of the wedding day and I'm so glad I went with them. Cannot recommend enough!

    Fantastic job Classical Guitar Ceremonies

    We hired Troy to play our wedding. He played phenomenally well. He has a deep repertoire of both popular and classic songs. I cannot recommend Classical Guitar Ceremonies enough.

    Troy was assigned to our wedding and he was extremely professional and flexible with the time change of our ceremony. He even played an impromptu song for the ceremony at the request of the officiants. Highly recommend.

    Wedding at the Vineyard

    I can't say enough great things about this Chris and Troy at Classical Guitar Ceremonies. Communication, explanations, coordination, payments, all were done flawlessly and without issue. Our performer, Troy, was very accommodating and learned specific music for our special day at our request. Everyone who came was impressed with his skill and talent. I highly recommend hiring these professionals!

    A Beautifully Simple Guitar for our Wedding!

    Chris Dunn (Manager) and Troy King (Musician) were a pleasure to work with! Chris Dunn was easy to communicate with, professional, timely, and gave us everything we needed to make the easy decision of going with Troy King as our ceremony musician. As for Troy, we loved his arrangement of wedding-appropriate pop music before the ceremony began, as well as how he played our processional and recessional songs. Would recommend Chris and Troy to anybody looking for a single guitar to play ceremony music. Worth every penny!

    I would HIGHLY recommend Classic Guitar. We gave him a tough song to learn and he absolutely nailed it. Stop your searching and use him!

    Silver Anniversary

    Chris Dunn at classicalguitarceremonies.com was very efficient in finding the right guitarist for our event. Everything went very smoothly. The guitarist, Andrew McEvoy, was excellent. Very high level of performance, friendly, and courteous. It was a pleasure.

    Perfect ceremony, reception, and first dance guitar music + easy communication + large repertoire

    My wedding planner Sara Bauleke at Bella Notte recommended Chris Dunn (the owner of Classical Guitar Ceremonies), who helped us choose our guitarist, Andrew McEvoy, for our small garden wedding at Iron Gate in April 2022. We wanted a mix of classical music (prelude) with some religious options to bring in my family (Episcopalian) tradition — we asked for a specific Episcopal hymn for the bride's entrance procession — and then a shift to more modern but still classic romantic tunes for the recessional — This Will Be (An Everlasting Love) — and first dance (Can't Help Falling In Love). Chris helped us with selections and was so easy to communicate with and friendly. You can also tell that Chris and everyone on his team, Andrew included, is VERY experienced with weddings in the DMV. Everything is perfectly smooth and on time/early; they communicate proactively with your wedding planner and know to ask your planner and venue point of contact various questions about the outlet/plug-in situation, acoustics, volume level etc.

    The evening of our wedding, Andrew did an outstanding job — so romantic, moving, intimate, melodic on all the classical pieces and then added a lot of richness and warmth by adding vocals (his offer; we took him up on it!) for our recessional and first dance. His cocktail hour repertoire was absolutely perfect. Lots of familiar wedding tunes that we knew from the 60s - today. Just the right volume. The type of music where you are nodding your head, humming along, smiling... looking over and saying, "wow, the guitarist is REALLY good!" (Our photographer and other vendors also commented on it, not just guests!) But you aren't distracted by the volume and you can keep talking to the other guests. If you are looking for beautiful ceremony or reception music, there is no one better!

    Beautiful music, professional service

    We organized a small outdoor wedding with just a few weeks of planning. Chris and Andrew's responsiveness and ability to just "run with it" based on a few parameters was very helpful. We were appreciative of their suggested set lists, which allowed us to draw on some old favorites and discover new (to us) gems. Andrew played beautifully and went above and beyond to accommodate a traditional Dominican wedding song and a first dance song we wove into the ceremony since we weren't having a reception. His playing really tied the ceremony together and we were very grateful for his presence.

    Fantastic and so easy to work with!

    We had an unfortunate experience where our original guitarist we hired for our wedding was unable to perform for us, and we had only a short period of time to find someone new. Thankfully Chris's team was available and the process couldn't have been easier or more smooth. Chris handled every logistical detail; was super knowledgeable, responsive, and friendly and just made everything so easy for us! They were able to accommodate our special song requests with no problem. Troy was the guitarist we worked with on the day of the wedding, and he was fantastic as well. A great musician and super nice. Everything went so smoothly, I'm so glad we found these guys!

    Fantastic guitar player!

    We had Troy as a solo guitarist for our ceremony and we could not have been happier! His playing was lovely, he was totally on the ball with everything, and he was able to take some last minute requests and incorporate more songs/arrangements into the ceremony. 10/10 very happy with this vendor!

    Knowledgeable, Prompt, and Professional!

    Chris and Kevin, our guitarist, were such a breeze to work with. Kevin totally understood our baroque music preferences and arrived super early for our event—making the ceremony music the one thing to happen on time! (Performed with skill and aplomb, but that almost goes without saying.) We would absolutely recommend to anyone.

    A beautiful enhancement to our special day

    Classical Guitar Ceremonies made our small, intimate wedding a beautiful experience. Chris was extremely communicative and thorough from the beginning of the process, and Andrew's music enhanced our intimate occasion perfectly. Andrew was extremely professional and kind, and his music was an absolute treat. Our guests all commented on how much they enjoyed Andrew's playing and how it complemented the occasion so well. We absolutely loved it and would highly recommend working with Chris and Andrew. They made it so easy, and the results were beautiful! We are looking forward to the next occasion when we can work with Classical Guitar Ceremonies again!

    Wonderful Service and Music

    Chris and Andrew were great. From the day we decided on booking Classical Guitar Ceremonies to the ceremony we were very pleased. We had a venue change due to COVID and Chris was very responsive and was able to adjust accordingly. We loved the music that Andrew played and cannot say enough about how much we loved Andrew's music during the cocktail hour. We would highly recommend Classical Guitar Ceremonies!

    My husband and I are so impressed with this company and the team that is involved with them. Everyone who is a part of Classical Guitars goes above and beyond to make sure your day runs as smooth as possible and is better than you could ever imagine. We worked with both Chris and Troy and they blew our expectations out of this world. They are all professional and respectful and listen to exactly what you want.

    Chris was fantastic! He provided the mic for our officiant, played such a unique combination of songs and absolutely crushed “God Only Knows” when my Dad and I walked down the aisle. Could not recommend him more!
