About

Hello! I have been a musician for 16 years, and playing classical guitar for 5 years. I have an absolute love affair with music, and am always excited to share that with people. From The Beatles to Sinatra, The Allman Brothers to Bach, Willie Nelson to Mozart, I have you covered! I am also always wiling and excited about learning something new, if you have something new in mind.

I know how stressful weddings can get, and when you book with me, it'll be one less thing to worry about. Professionalism and performing are what I base my work around. Hope to hear from you soon!

You can call me directly at 213-200-9228, or email me at anthonynovak2008@gmail.com.

Reviews of Anthony Novak Classical Guitartist

Anthony Novak is absolutely wonderful!

Anthony played at our wedding and he was SO wonderful! A coworker of mine (Meghan, see her review on here too!) hired him to play at her wedding and she recommended him to me - I am so glad she did! Having live music at our wedding was so lovely and Anthony is absolutely delightful. He is so friendly and kind, professional and an insanely talented musician and artist. He played a mix of classical music for our prelude and then learned a classical song that I chose especially for my walk down the aisle. During our cocktail hour he played a medley of jazz guitar and my dad's uncle, an 80+ year old jazz aficionado said to me, "This guy can PLAY"; and to top it all off, he played AND sang La Vie en Rose for our first dance as a married couple. His music was so lovely and many people came up to me during and after the wedding saying they LOVED the guitar playing. I am so happy he was a part of our wonderful day.

Wedding Music

Anthony was wonderful to work with both before and during our wedding. He was flexible with the song selections for our ceremony and made helpful suggestions for flow of the ceremony. Having live music made the occasion extra special. Many of our guests commented on how much they enjoyed listening to him and asked how I knew him! Thanks to the help of WeddingWire we were able to make a great choice! A big thank you to Anthony for braving the outdoor ceremony on a cool October day!

Anthony was fantastic for us! There were a couple songs that we wanted that weren't in his current list but he was happy to learn anything for us. He set the right atmosphere for our ceremony and was by no means overpowering. One of my bridesmaids thought it was piano music being played when it was his guitar; his playing is just that smooth and mellow! Would defiantly recommend him!

Anthony played for our wedding and dinner after. He was absolutely AMAZING!!!! Leading up to the wedding he was responsive and easy to work with. Our guests all raved about Anthony and wanted his contact information afterwards. He was the cherry on top of our intimate wedding at WA Frost. I recommend him without any hesitation.

Anthony Novak performed at our wedding this weekend, ceremony and cocktail hour, and my guests and I were blown away by his professionalism and musical abilities. We loved the personal touches he added to the classic and popular songs that we had asked him to play. He was willing to learn more obscure songs that we love as well, and he really nailed the vibe we were going for. He is a good communicator and very easy to work with. He even recorded samples of himself performing our ceremony songs prior to the wedding so that we could get a feel for his style. I am so thankful that he did that because it helped a lot with the planning and helped us to know we had made the right choice. I am so glad that we had a professional musician at our wedding instead of streaming music and I am so glad that Anthony Novak was that musician. Hire him for your wedding or events. You will be glad that you did.

Anthony was great to work with and the music was beautiful! Anthony played at your outdoor wedding for both the ceremony and the cocktail hour. He was very professional and everyone really enjoyed his music. Anthony is very talented and can play a variety of music. We would highly recommend Anthony for any wedding or gathering.

We hired Anthony to play our small outdoor wedding ceremony, and couldn't be happier with our choice. Anthony is very talented, professional and courteous. Many of our guests commented on how friendly he was and how great he looked. Anthony always got back to us right away whenever we had a question and was super accommodating to all of our ideas and suggestions. He even went the extra mile and came out to our rehearsal for a run through. Everything turned out beautifully, just as I had pictured it in my head. Anthony exceeded our expectations, and it was a pleasure doing business with him. Thank you so much Anthony, you made our day that much more special! :)

He took our input gracefully and delivered a beautiful music ensemble. Guests and wedding party alike expressed their satisfaction with the music. Not overstated by any means, but tied together our special day harmoniously.

Anthony is a true professional with exceptional talent. With no prompting at all, he helped us decide what music would go well in our ceremony and was 100 percent accommodating to our requests for specific songs. His performance was beyond reproach, providing the perfect atmosphere and entertainment for our guests. Punctual and prepared the day of--all and all, he was great.

Anthony was hired to play for a 4th of July/Birthday party. He played classical guitar, as well as a variety of other musical selections, including Beatles, Credence (he is a good singer). He is an extraordinary musician with an extensive repertoire. Very responsive to requests and changes. He is very friendly and engaging, and everyone enjoyed his performance.

I have worked with Anthony for the past two years on a professional level, and he is an excellent musician. He places priority in delivering a superior performance, and is also flexible and a pleasure to work with. I would recommend Anthony to anyone who is looking for a guitarist, and a nicer person you will not meet!!
