    Dreamy Ceremony Music!

    Justin was amazing to work with! We hired him about a couple of months before our big day. We were so happy he was available and live music was the perfect touch for our ceremony. We hired him to do pre-ceremony & ceremony music. We let him know some of the music & genres that we liked and he even learned some songs that we wanted for the ceremony itself. He played Ho Hey by Lumineers, Here Comes the Sun by the Beatles and Safe & Sound by Capital Cities and it was absolutely beautiful. We are so happy we hired Justin to add that special touch to our wedding!

    Justin was a pleasure to work with! We had him play the music for our ceremony at a vineyard wedding, and his sound fit perfectly with the setting. Justin was very flexible with the music selections - when I chose two songs for the processional and recessional that he did not know, he was more than willing to learn them and he played them beautifully. He also has a wonderful repertoire that he can draw on if you don't want to choose specific songs. I only wish I had been around to hear more before the ceremony started!

    Justin was the best! One of the most talented wedding musicians I've ever met!

    We wanted some obscure songs to play during our ceremony and Justin knew most of them and didn't hesitate to learn the ones he didn't. He plays the music exactly as you want him to and he has a HUGE repertoire of songs. Plus, he's super easy to work with, was on time, and very nice.

    I highly recommend! Can't go wrong with Justin!

    It is shockingly hard to find an accomplished Spanish guitarist that will play a wedding in SLO County without breaking the bank. Thank goodness for Justin Martinez! I had a Spanish-themed wedding at Robert Hall Winery and really wanted a live guitarist for my ceremony, and Justin completely understood my vision and executed it perfectly. I specially requested a song for my walk down the aisle, and Justin performed it perfectly. When I needed ideas for the other numbers in the ceremony (i.e. bridesmaid processional, recessional, etc.), Justin provided me with a number of fantastic options, and they were all pieces that required great skill. Not only did Justin perform very well and help me build a great set list, but he also arrived very early to the venue to set up and was incredibly professional throughout the process. I would highly recommend Justin for any event that calls for an exceptionally skilled, professional guitarist (especially with a Spanish flare!) at a reasonable price point.

    Justin was great! He played guitar for our ceremony (all contemporary songs that I requested), cocktail hour, and first dance. From the start, Justin was super responsive to emails, and all-in-all provided for a smooth experience. His guitar provided an intimate touch to our evening.

    Justin played the music for our ceremony. He was willing to learn any song we wanted, and he also had a list of suggestions for us. He made our day that much better and is a very talented musician! I highly recommend him!

    What impressed us most with Justin is that he was open to playing the different songs we chose and he made it so easy for us to work with him - he showed up on time, was professional, played for our ceremony and then made sure to wish us well and say goodbye. Of all of our vendors he was the easiest to work with and I never had to worry! A welcome relief for our wedding day. It was a pleasure working with Justin.

    Justin provided the music for our daughter's wedding ceremony and appetizer hour. It was beautiful! I'm so happy we chose live music instead of recorded for the ceremony!

    Justin was a great addition to our wedding ceremony. He was able to play each of the contemporary songs we requested for the processional perfectly. It was a nice touch to have live music during the cocktail hour as well. Thanks so much for adding a little something special to our wedding!

    I found Justin after hours of research on the Internet for the perfect guitarist, and I am so glad I did! He was the perfect touch to our wedding. He is a very talented musician and I actually ended up booking him for a work party in addition to my own wedding. He is very easy to work with and I appreciated his flexibility and professionalism. Plus, the price point was right on par with what I could afford and I felt like it was worth every cent. I would definitely recommend him!
