Great Guitarist/DJ!!

George is great to work with. He was very responsive with emails, and phone calls. He's very flexible with your vision of the day and what you want him to play. He's genuinely excited for you and wants to make sure all the guest get up dancing. All my guest loved George's guitar playing during cocktail hour and ceremony. Everyone was also raving about this DJ talents. I highly recommend him to brides. He's very knowledgeable and has a fun personality. I thought his pricing was very reasonable.

George was incredible - and most importantly (for us) super easy to work with. He was able to play every song we requested, or learn them! A very high quality and low maintenance vendor, which allowed us to worry about all the other things. We have received numerous compliments on the music quality, and his ability to play such a range of songs and styles. I would strongly recommend George to anyone looking for an acoustic guitar in/around their wedding.

We had a great experience working with George for our ceremony music. He was extremely responsive and accommodating, and has a wide array of songs to choose from. Our selections weren't the most mainstream choices, but he absolutely nailed them. We were concerned that because we were having an outdoor ceremony that the sound would not carry well, but George brought his own top of the line sound equipment and everyone was able to hear great. After the ceremony, several guests stopped me to say how much they enjoyed George's playing. Highly recommend!

George performed live music for our ceremony and cocktail hour and also was the DJ for the reception. His guitar playing was incredible and all of our guests were impressed. We were able to communicate with George what we were looking for and he was great at catering to our wishes. I highly recommend George as a musician and DJ.

If you like awesome acoustic covers of the classics and even some blended jams you will really enjoy having his music part of your wedding/function. We had him play at our ceremony, and then after at the cocktail party. He played our background, procession and walk out music - all were fantastic. At the cocktail hour we told him to get creative and he did not disappoint. We had many comments from people about how they loved his music at the cocktail hour. It was great to have such a talented musician at our wedding! Thanks George!

George did a great job with all the music at our wedding. His timeline tips gave us helpful ideas and a nice start with our planning. We had him set a nice mood by playing flamenco guitar for our guest arrival. During our ceremony entrance, I had him surprise our guests with a great electric guitar version of Beethoven’s “Ode to Joy”, which thrilled our friends and us. After the ceremony during photos, he played a mix of romantic and pop acoustic guitar selected by my wife. He is a pro at keeping his guitar at conversation level and great to watch. Finally, we had him play along with a singer on my bride’s favorite song for a live first dance. Then he did DJ music for our dinner and kept the floor busy for dancing until the end. One-stop shopping! He took care of the music for our entire wedding! I highly recommend him for anyone’s wedding.

George performed acoustic guitar at our wedding in September 2016. The venue for our wedding was Camp Cody in Freedom, NH. We had him play both at the beach for the ceremony and in the cocktail hour which was held in a reception hall overlooking the lake.

George was very easy to work with. He simply emailed us a questionnaire with a number of classic song ideas the month of the wedding (wedding party song, brides' entrance song, recessional, and requests for cocktail hour). He had no problem working with the coordinator and the camp to get his equipment set up by the beach and in the hall serving as a cocktail area. We got rave reviews about his talented performance from all our friends (they spent more time at cocktail hour than we did!) And we will always remember his beautiful performance at the ceremony.

If you are looking for a talented performer to bring some life to your wedding or event, we enthusiastically recommend you consider George!

George Parker was absolutely wonderful! We met him on our way out of the first wedding expo we attended. In those initial few minutes of conversation during our chance meeting with him, we were certain we wanted him to provide the musical backdrop to our wedding day. We actually chose his services before any other vendor or even our venue! He made us, a newly engaged couple, unfamiliar with the wedding planning process, feel comfortable from the very start, guiding us toward the right path to begin planning our own wedding.
When it came time to meet with us, George graciously sat with us at length, paying close attention to our vision & ideas, as he went over every detail of our big day with us. He truly listened to our thoughts & musical requests, as well as offering helpful suggestions and advice based off of his years of experience.
As a guitarist, George created the perfect atmosphere for our ceremony & cocktail hour. During the reception, his DJ skills, extensive array of music, & dance lighting made for a fun-filled party! He was a humble host, yet confident in his talents, and seemed inherently in tune with the mood of our crowd! He was able to seamlessly blend songs to get the younger guests out on the dance floor with songs that everybody loves! Many of our guests commented on how great he was! George was a complete professional from beginning to end and a truly talented musician, we would highly recommend his services for any event and would be thrilled if we were to ever have the opportunity to work with him again!
