Perfect music for our event

Jarrett was the perfect person for our outdoor vineyard event. He provided the kind of calming beautiful live guitar music we wanted. He was very professional and fit his performance seamlessly into our event. If we ever have another occasion, we will hire him again in a heartbeat.

Exactly what we were looking for

Jarrett is wonderful at what he does. He played for our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. He did a great job setting the mood and continuing to play when the ceremony started late.
He was very responsive, professional, and easy to work with leading up to our event. He has a huge selection of music in his repertoire. I would absolutely hire him again.

Classical Guitar

We wanted classical guitar for our ceremony and cocktail hour for our wedding. Jarrett was very responsive to our questions, and thankfully was available for our ceremony. He has an extensive catalogue of music, from classical, to Spanish, to contemporary. I even saw a few showtunes. He arrived early to the ceremony, and was very professional. The music was well played, and well received by our guests. Overall, I recommend Jarrett.

Beautiful Guitar Music

Jarrett did an excellent job providing classical guitar music for our wedding ceremony. In the lead up to the wedding, he was responsive and guided us to make sure we gave him the information he needed, and his repertoire had a lot of variety to choose from. Jarrett’s playing was beautiful and really elevated our ceremony. Our pre-ceremony music selection didn’t end up being long enough for the amount of time it took before we got started, and Jarrett filled the extra space with another piece from his repertoire, which we appreciated.

Excellent Experience with Laskey

My husband and I specifically wanted a classical guitarist to play at our ceremony and happy hour as learning how to play guitar was part of our dating story. My dad wanted a quartet, so Jarrett suggested a duet with his colleague violinist Cristiana. The combination was perfect - and they even agreed to learn my parent's wedding song to play during the prelude. Jarrett was easy to communicate with, professional, and played for a few hours outdoors on a hot June day. Highly recommend!

Wonderful Guitar!

Jarrett provided wonderful classical guitar during our wedding ceremony and was an ease to work with! He came with a wide-ranging repertoire, making it easy to select songs which did well to set the tone of our day. No trouble at all hearing the music outside, and we each had several guests tell us how much they appreciated having Jarrett’s music as part of the ceremony.

A Talented Musician!

I am a wedding coordinator and worked with Jarrett for a wedding on 5/21. Leading up to the wedding, Jarrett was great with communication and very responsive! He was very professional. On the day of the wedding, he was on top of things and worked together with the DJ who provided the ceremony mic to ensure all sound for the ceremony went smoothly. The music he played sounded great! I would definitely recommend Jarrett if you are looking for a musician during your wedding ceremony and cocktail hour, or for any event!

Would recommend 👍

Jarrett is a classical guitarist with a wide repertoire (from classical to modern day pop music). He was even able to learn and perform a new song that we had requested rather last minute and it meant a lot to us to hear that song that moment. His music was a lovely touch to our wedding ceremony.

Lastly, he was also very professional and timely!
