Fantastic experience and worth the investment! Andrew is super talented!

We wanted something special for our ceremony and cocktail hour music. Andrew was masterful on classical guitar and his playing was a highlight for the day. Having live music truly sets the tone, do not skimp out and just play music through some speakers if you can help it. Live instruments just added a warmth and depth of sound that made our special day that much more vibrant. Scheduling and working with Chris was super easy. When we were stuck on selecting processional and recessional songs, Andrew had some wonderful suggestions. We wanted something classical rather than contemporary, but also wanted to avoid some pieces we thought were too cliche. Andrew had some wonderful suggestions for compositions that are less common but just as beautiful as the ones we’ve heard at a dozen other weddings. After the ceremony, Andrew continued to fill the air with a mix of classical and classically styled versions of contemporary songs. Almost everyone complimented the guitar music. We would recommend Andrew and Classical Guitar Ceremonies to anyone who wants their special day to sound as beautiful as everything else looks.

Wonderful experience

We had such a wonderful experience with Andrew, the guitarist who played our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour, and Chris, the company’s manager. Both were extremely professional and responsive, and Andrew is exceptionally talented and well-prepared! Can’t recommend highly enough!

Defintiely worth it

We hired Troy (solo guitarist) to play our ceremony including prelude music. He was on-time, professional, and was open to learning two songs from Final Fantasy that we wanted to walk down the aisle to. Friendly gentleman, too! I felt like his being there really elevated the vibe. 10/10 would recommend again. Also, Chris D. was super responsive and I appreciated it greatly!

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!

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!

Troy was fantastic

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.
