Wedding Performance with Francisco Barrone

This was a small family wedding and Francisco could not have been better. He was accommodating when we asked him to change rooms and very gracious. Everyone loved him.

Quality Work with Ease

I found his prices reasonable and he was easy to work with. Just a minimum of fuss, excellent demeanor and presentation. Our guests also enjoyed his music. In my experience his best attribute was an ability to adapt to our circumstances.

Francesco was amazing! Of course our wedding fell on the first snowfall (mini storm) of the season. And he called to night before to confirm everything was still on as planned and braved the snow to make our ceremony amazing! I had a surprise selection for the bridal party to walk down the aisle to the Game of Thrones theme song which was a pleasant surprise to the party and guest included. He was always prompt to respond when I had questions and can not give enough thanks making our day so special!

We found Francesco after posting on the Hartt School's gig board. He was very easy to work with, had great suggestions, and delivered just as we discussed on the big day. Would highly recommend his services to anyone looking to add special touch to their wedding ceremony.

HAving Francesco being part of our wedding day was a great edition. I love the sound of the classic guitar and when I stumbled upon Francesco I liked what I heard. He was responsive and professional. Showed up early on our wedding day and I would reccomned him to anyone that is interested in looking for a musician on their special day.

Although we did not get to hear most of the music played as my wife and I did not rejoin cocktail hour, we received many compliments of Francesco and his music throughout the night. He was there early and took the time to make sure everything was all set prior to his allotted time. Very accommodating through emails through the time of booking and up to the event and helped us pick the right music for us by suggesting different genres and songs. Highly recommend!!!
