Seriously The Best!!!

Doug was absolutely amazing!! He played at our ceremony and cocktail hour and our guests are still raving about his performance. We had an issue during the ceremony where we actually forgot the rings and Doug was able to improvise some beautiful music that absolutely fit with our theme. Really couldn't recommend him more!

Provided the BEST music experience for my party!

It was such a wonderful experience to have Doug Anthony play at our Parade 2 Uplift donor and volunteer appreciation party! His music variety made it a memorable event and provided just the right amount of rhythm for the event! Doug Anthony is very professional. We will def use him again!

Professional, Great Guitarist!

Doug is a great addition to have at your wedding. We used his services for our ceremony and cocktail hour and were so happy with his performance. All of our guests enjoyed his acoustic playing during cocktail hour and thought he played a good variety of songs. He was very responsive from the beginning when reaching out for a quote and made sure to answer any questions I had about songs as well as provide samples that he did not have on his website. Really great guitarist, you won't be disappointed.

Talented, Professional, and Polished

I recently attended the wedding of a good friend of mine and, as someone who used to work in the industry, I wanted to take the time to acknowledge this musician, Doug Anthony. I've hired my share of bands, duets, trios etc., and Mr. Anthony impressed me with his attention in reading the crowd; he knew when to play a softer background and when to pep it up; and he can really play! By mistake, the coordinator didn't signal him on the start of the procession, but I could tell from my vantage point he was watching all the different pieces start in motion and responded accordingly. This may not sound like much but, for weddings when everything has to be perfect, this instinct is highly credible. For those who appreciate live music done right, with the right look and know-how, I would recommend this guy.

4-27-19 Guitar instrumental

I booked Doug well in advance of my wedding. He was and is professional, courteous and pleasant to work with. We emailed back and forth several times regarding music and timing. He even made helpful suggestions and offered tips. He showed up promptly on our wedding day 4-27-19 and played beautifully for the pre-seating, ceremony and cocktail hour which I had requested. So lovely and his music added a different flair to our wedding. Thank you so much Doug, you were worth every penny and I enjoyed listening to the music as I walked down the aisle. Thank you!!!

Doug was Great!!!!!

Doug was great - we left all details up to him and provided very limited direction. He set up and performed without a hitch. Great execution and amazing sound quality.

Amazing job!!

So we went with Doug for our ceremony and the cocktail hour. You save money by going with an individual and we couldn’t have asked for a better professional/artist than Doug! He responded almost immediately to any emails I sent, he played beautifully(really, his videos don’t do him justice), he was the most reasonably priced...I mean why wouldn’t you go with him!?
