An excellent guitarist and true professional

My (now) wife and I hired Julian to play guitar at our outdoor wedding. Julian was extremely professional and great to work with. He met with us some weeks before the ceremony to discuss the processional song, pre-processional, and general flow of our ceremony. He has dozens of options and suggestions for different musical types depending on the emotion we were looking for at different parts of the ceremony. We both enjoyed working with him and of course he's a very talented musician on top of that! 10/10 would hire again!

Amazing guitar player!

Wonderful performance. Julian was very professional and flexible for our unique setting and timeline - responded to emails quickly, arrived ahead of time and well prepared, and professional throughout our event. He set the mood perfectly for our intimate ceremony.

Amazing ceremony & cocktail hour music

Julian is not only an incredibly talented musician, but was also a wonderful addition to our wedding day. He not only took the time to speak with me about different music selections, but also was able to source other local musicians to accommodate our specific requests (i.e. I wanted a trumpet player to play the intro to The Beatles' "All You Need Is Love," and he was able to make it all happen for us!). Not only was Julian a pleasure to work with, but the day-of he was a consummate professional - he and his team played the ceremony music flawlessly and really got the party going during cocktail hour with some upbeat Bossa Nova classics. We've received tons of compliments on the music from our guests - many of whom have requested Julian's contact information! Highly recommend working with Julian :)

Overall excellent experience!

Julian worked with us to learn the song we wanted for our wedding processional, and he plays beautifully. Professional and unobtrusive in setup, playing, and take-down.

Julian Catford-Amazing!

Julian was amazing. He went above and beyond any expectations we had for our wedding. He was extremely responsive and accommodating when corresponding before the wedding. He was set up and ready to go before the wedding party even got to the venue. He moved to each venue “We had three with an easy going grace that calmed me. Our wedding singer had rehearsed with Julian a couple weeks before the wedding -due to a family emergency she didn’t make it.. but Julian covered the processional like a true professional. His music was so beautiful we had guests age 4 to 86 and everyone loved Julian! He played a request he normally didn't play He found the sheet music online and played it so beautifully. He truly made our wedding magical! Thank you Julian.

Fabulous wedding guitarist

We hired JULIAN for our wedding dinner and he was fabulous. Our plans had to change a bit at the last minute and he was ver accommodating. His song selections were perfect and he was so easy to work with prior to and during the event. Highly recommend.

Julian did a great job at our wedding and went out of his way to learn songs that were special to us. He played a special Jimmy Buffett song for me and my dad while we walked down the aisle and had us both tearing up. He played beautifully and we loved it as well as our guests!!

Julian traveled from Seattle to Chelan, a 3+ hour drive, and turned around and went back the same evening so we didn't have to pay for his overnight accommodations, which was really fortunate and wonderful and we are very grateful for that! He was an excellent guitarist and played exactly what we hoped for - I wanted "Spanish guitar" and he nailed it as far as I'm concerned! Thanks, Julian, for making our ceremony music so beautiful!

Julian is supremely talented and a true professional. His ability to adapt to our odd requests and then deliver gorgeously during our ceremony and reception was noticed by many of our guests. A+ hire.
