Guitar master!

Guillermo performed wonderfully during our ceremony and reception. We truly appreciate him playing outdoors during one of the hottest days of the year. As well as, traveling and setting up in two different locations. Everyone enjoyed the music; you can tell Guillermo is an experienced musician with a lot of talent. We highly recommend his services!

Amazing Musician

We hired Guillermo as our cocktail hour musician. I was looking for a guitarist and pianist. After hearing him play (we went to a local restaurant where he was playing) I knew he was going to be fantastic. We did not want to give him to many directions on what we wanted him to play because he is that good and can play anything! He made cocktail hour fun and everyone enjoyed his music! I would recommend him!

Guillermo was Amazing.

My wife and I hired Guillermo based-upon his talent; he performed wonderfully during our ceremony. In fact, several guests complemented his playing.

As an added bonus, Guillermo was responsive, patient and professional.

I highly recommend Guillermo as he helped make our wedding memorable.

Guillermo performed at two of my daughter’s wedding events; the rehearsal dinner, which was held in our backyard, and at the wedding ceremony, held in a quaint and lovely Iowa church. Guillermo followed through with what was outlined in our contract, and he did so in the most humble, kind, and professional manner. His music tied both events together and was so lovely and profound, it moved the majority of the group to tears both days. Many commented that the music was their favorite part, as they enjoyed listening to Guillermo play some of the best songs of all time, including hits of The Beatles and Frank Sinatra. Guillermo was accommodating and receptive to hearing what we envisioned for the weekend, in terms of the kind of music we hoped he would be able to play, and not only was he able to do what we had hoped for, he also brought his own ideas and expertise to the table. We cannot imagine our wedding weekend without Guillermo and we urge anyone looking for a musician to contact him. If asked to rate Guillermo on a scale from 1-5, I would, undoubtedly, give him a 10!

Guillermo was amazing. He went above and beyond and he is so talented. I booked him for my son's wedding for 2 1/2 hours and he was gracious and stayed for 4 hours. He made a beautiful event perfect with his amazing guitar. He comes with his own sound system and handles the set up, breakdown, everything. I got many compliments on his music. I would hire him again. Highly recommend him.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
