About

Let the romance and elegance of Spanish guitar enhance your wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. I usually play tranquil, beautiful music during the prelude. While you and your party are processing down the aisle, I can play classical pieces such as Canon in D, more exotic Spanish guitar, or special songs of your choice. You may wish some light music during a sand ceremony or candle-lighting ceremony. Finally, I usually play a more upbeat song when you have been married and are recessing down the aisle.

For a cocktail hour, I can up the energy level and play more festive music as you transition from ceremony to celebration.

I can also play ambient music during dinner to help keep that exciting feeling going through the night.

I usually perform as a soloist and bring all my own equipment, speakers, etc. so the music can carry throughout the space you've chosen. I make it a point to control the volume level so the music is audible, but doesn't overpower conversation. I also can bring a percussionist for the cocktail hour/reception, which gives a fuller sound and more energy. For a trio, I can bring another soloist for a more interesting, dynamic texture.

If you would like to book me for your event, email at elegantspanishguitar@gmail.com or call 602-615-8573 today. I can only play one wedding a time, so call soon! Thank you and best wishes to you.

Simply the best!

I've worked with Miguel for many years and hands down, he's truly one of the best. He's responsive, on time, talented, flexible and so easy to work with.
I'd highly recommend him!

A beautiful touch to the wedding evening!

I can’t say enough wonderful things about Miguel and his services :) my husband and I knew we wanted Spanish guitar to be part of our day and we were beyond happy to find Miguel. He was able to play requests I had and also learn one of my favorites as well. Super professional and attentive to messages. It truly made our cocktail hour even more special and the guest loved it. I will always recommend and hopefully have the opportunity to work with him again. Thank you always Miguel! You were wonderful! xx

Beautiful Spanish Guitar

We hired Miguel to play before and during our wedding ceremony, as well as during the cocktail hour, and he did not disappoint! His music is beautiful and he was such an elegant addition to our day. He wasn't familiar with the song I wanted to walk down the aisle to, but he learned it for me and it was amazing! My only regret is that as the busy bride I didn't get to enjoy more of his Spanish guitar!

Beautiful Music and Easy to Work With!

Miguel played our wedding at the Hermosa Inn. We are so grateful we chose him. His music added so much to the reception. It was beautiful, subtle and exactly what we were hoping for. Miguel was also incredibly kind and easy to work with. I would highly recommend him to anyone I know.

Excellent from Start to Finish

Miguel performed at our wedding for our ceremony, cocktail hour, and first dance. He did a fantastic job, and we got so many compliments from our guests. It also made our first dance very special since he took the time to learn the song we requested. I would highly recommend him to anyone who is interested.

Incredible musician for your event

Miguel was great to work with - very responsive, and provided a lot of information to help set up the event. We dealt with some small weather issues the night of, and Miguel was so easy going about all of it. Everyone at the party raved about the music and how it really helped make the event above & beyond!!

Talented and easy to work with!

Miguel was great to work with. His talent provided an amazing element to our wedding ceremony and our happy hour cocktail reception. His A/V set up was affordable and worked with our venue, despite the wind we had that day, he was able to pivot and provide a different microphone so our officiant could be well heard. I highly recommend Miguel if you're looking for a Spanish and elegant flair. Thanks Miguel!!

Excellent service and beautiful music!!!!!

We were so pleased with the overall experience with Miguel De Maria. He was well worth the investment! The price was very affordable and very competitive!! From the moment I emailed him for his services until the day of our wedding!! He was very quick and attentive to respond to me and I trusted him right away to do my ceremony and cocktail hour music!! It was completely stress free working with him!! I didn't even have to, nor did I want to pick any of the songs out for the day of our wedding. I trusted him to choose everything!! I was so pleased how beautiful everything turned out!! All of my guest loved him!! I would hire him in a second if I needed his services again and would definitely recommend him to anyone who wants beautiful music at their wedding or any special event!!! Thank you again Miguel De Maria for making our day so special!!!
