Endorsements
"Rich was wonderful to work with this past weekend. He was super early, and brought different types of equipment, which allowed him to be flexible to the indoor/outdoor arrangements he was dealing with - not to mention the concert taking place down the hill from the ceremony! He was pleasant and cheerful with the bridal party and the guests, and I look forward to our next event together. "

Rich and his partner Katarzyna were amazing! They performed a guitar and violin duo at our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. Our guests were wowed! Rich was incredibly accomodating, even accompanying our soloist during the ceremony on request. We were thrilled to have them as part of our big day.

I hired Rich for our wedding ceremony. I was very impressed with how organized he was. He sent over a list of items he was bringing to the event and some documents explaining exactly what he needed from me (directions, song requests, etc). He responded to my questions very quickly. He sent me a confirmation the night before the event. I was getting dressed for the wedding when he got there, but he was very self sufficient and got himself setup and started playing. Many people came up after the ceremony to tell me how impressed they were with the music. Thanks so much, Rich!

Richard is a master at guitar and brought a great depth of beauty to my wedding day. Booking, requesting songs, and all other coordination was easy due to Richard's responsiveness and eagerness to help. The ceremony music was beautiful and perfect! He also played during my cocktail hour prior to the reception and I heard the most amazing complements about his performance. I would definitely hire Richard again in the future for any kind of live entertainment and highly recommend him to others who are seeking the same.

We found Richard's music on the web which we thought would be perfect for our wedding, except we were to be married on the West Coast. Instead, we hired a marriachi for the entertainment (which was great for our venue which was a Spanish style villa), but Richard provided us with his recording for our ceremony music. Richard's guitar solos were beautiful, and also a wonderful fit for our venue. Thanks for being so helpful Richard, the music was just perfect!

As a working professional musician myself, having performed live music for hundreds of wedding ceremonies and receptions, I really appreciated the atmosphere Richard Barry's classical guitar music brought to our wedding ceremony. With his extensive repertoire and great command of his instrument, he added warmth and color to our special day, and my wife and I would heartily recommend Richard Barry to anyone looking for a highly talented and professional musician to help augment their wedding celebration.

He seemed to have done tons and tons of weddings and such seeing how comfortable he was upon arrival. He just needed to know where to set up and that was about it. He plays the guitar at a very high level. I know a little something about good guitar players and bad ones, Richard Barry is definitely on of the good ones. He has a large repertoire songs that he can play, anything from the tango to popular music to classical guitar. Overall I would say that Richard is a very professional musician, shows up early so that there is know worrying and plays a guitar beautifully, I would suggest this guitarist to anyone having a wedding or any other kind of classy event that they are planning. Look no further, Richard Barry is your man.

Richard Barry performed at the cocktail hour and during the dinner at our wedding reception. His music was breathtaking and I received many, many compliments from all of our guests. Even our guests from Spain were extremely impressed by his guitar skills. He was professional and very kind to everyone. He was even nice enough to pose with us for a couple photos.
On a scale of 1 to 5... Richard Barry is a 10+!

Rich Barry played our ceremony music and at our cocktail hour. He played classical guitar and his colleague played violin. All the guests said it was fantastic - He is very talented and has a very diverse repertoir. He is great about taking special requests and learned Viva la Vida by Cold Play for playing at the end of the ceremony for us. I didn't have to really think about them during the ceremony or cocktail hour, they just were where they were supposed to be - In all the chaos of the day, that is one of the nicest things you can hope for. I would definitley recommend Richard Barry -

I found Richard Barry online through a web search for classical guitarists. We were looking for a classical guitarist to play our ceremony. We did all of our communicating via email, which was great and convenient. He has tons of music samples and photos online that definitely live up to his talent! It was incredibly easy to book and a great value...very affordable! It was a classic and elegant touch to our ceremony to have a live guitarist. Everyone loved it! Rich was great!!! Highly recommended!

We booked Richard through a website and are glad we did! He did everything he promised to do at an affordable price and our friends and family loved him. We liked the music, too, but what we really liked was the ease of booking and the fact that we were able to plan everything via e-mail thanks to the availability of samples of his music online. We would definitely recommend him to others in need of a fantastic musician!
