About

Gene Pino has been playing guitar music for weddings since 1987. At the time, he played in the band which was scheduled to play for the reception and was requested to play the ceremony. From that point, he observed that the musical memories stay with the couple through their lives.

Each performance requires a special touch and preparation to make the performance of the music at the ceremony exquisite!
I'm a guitarist and at times can add a cellist or a woodwind player.
I cover many genres and can cover a cocktail hour with our varied and appealing repertoire.

Perfect wedding guiatrist!

Gene made our backyard wedding special - when we decided to postpone our party and have an intimate backyard wedding, Gene was extremely accommodating, very professional (and covid-safe), and just an all around amazing guitarist!

A Class Act

We hired Gene to play at our son's rehearsal dinner. He was a consummate professional on all counts. He quickly and expertly answered all questions and immediately recognized the "vibe" we were trying to achieve. His beautiful music and extensive repertory added intimacy and elegance to the gathering and was enjoyed by all. He even was a life-saver. When it came time for the rehearsal dinner speeches, we discovered that our venue had no microphone or amplification system. Gene to the rescue. He gave us one of his mics, attached it to his amp and .... situation solved! Thanks Gene. You truly helped to make this already memorable night, more perfect.

5 stars all around! If you are considering guitar music for your wedding you need to look no further than Gene Pino. Gene is such a lovely man. From the moment we contacted him and through all our planning he was quick to respond and answer questions promptly. He initiated follow up with us and clarified things prior to our day. He is very professional and has such a positive engaging way about him. He made us feel like we’re the only couple who’s wedding he had ever done. He expressed his excitement to be a part of our day, and I do truly believe he gets excited to be a part of anyone’s day! Gene has an extensive list of songs he knows and can learn anything if you ask. We chose a song that he learned for us for our ceremony processional (which turned out better than we ever imagined!) and chose a song from his song list for our recessional. We let him pick from his selections for our cocktail hour. He plays oh so beautifully. Check out his website to hear some selections! We had so many comments on how talented he is and what a nice touch the guitar music was to our ceremony and cocktail hour. He is absolutely amazing. Music to our ears! We hope to be able to work with him again. (Photos by Rachel Black : Rowanberry + Lavender)

Gene has been the sole musician at many of my weddings. The couples and guest enjoy listening to him play.... Gene plays so effortlessly and so well, that he can also smile and enjoy the playing... It is clear that he loves what he does.'= Gene is one of the very few musicians I recommend on my private site (the one that couples see after they book me). I recommend him highly-- you will not be disappointed and definitely get value for your payment!
