What I offer

I provide both live music AND DJ/MC, so that works extremely well for weddings to add a nice variety for your guests, giving you the best of both worlds and a very nice mixture. My most common package for weddings is: live solo guitar music for ceremony prelude music, the ceremony itself (sound system and lavalier microphone for officiant included, so people can actually HEAR your vows!), and through cocktail hour. Then I switch to DJ/MC to introduce the bridal party, DJ the first dance, and introduce people for toasts. From there, I play more elegant live guitar music for a nice ambiance through dinner, and finally switch to DJ for the last few hours for after dinner dancing. Don't forget music for your rehearsal dinner, as the solo guitar is perfect for that also (MC and wireless mic included for toasts)!

Styles of Live Music performed

I customize the music to YOUR tastes , so just let me know how you envision it and I’ll make it happen! I’m there to do the music YOU want to hear! I usually perform a mixture of styles for the live music so there’s something enjoyable for everyone, anything from traditional Classical guitar music of Bach, Tarrega, Sor, Giuliani Albeniz, and even Mozart, & Beethoven arrangements and more, to Jazz standards in the tradition of Frank Sinatra/ Rat Pack, John Pizzarelli, Nat King Cole, Wes Montgomery, Lenny Breau and others (i.e. Fly Me To The Moon, All Of Me, It’s Only a Paper Moon, Georgia On My Mind, Dave Brubeck’s “Take Five” and other Jazz standards), to Spanish & Flamenco guitar selections of Albeniz, “Malaguena”, Jobim / Latin Bossa Novas and other traditional Spanish pieces, to Popular acoustic music like Beatles (Let It Be, Here Comes the Sun, Yesterday, Something, many more), Eric Clapton (Wonderful Tonight, Layla), Jimmy Buffett (Margaritaville, Changes.. and more), James Taylor, and Love songs of things like Unchained Melody, Can’t Help Falling In Love With You, Love me Tender, Somewhere Over the Rainbow, What A Wonderful World, and even solo acoustic arrangements of Classic Rock greats like Eagles (Hotel California, Desperado, Take It Easy), Rush, Triumph, Yes, Jimi Hendrix, Lynyrd Skynyrd (Sweet Home Alabama), Led Zeppelin, and more…whatever suits your tastes.

Perfect for all of your wedding and reception music

Jeff did a fantastic job providing all of the music for our wedding. He played classical guitar before and during our ceremony and then more contemporary acoustic guitar during the cocktail hour and then he magically morphed into a fantastic DJ that had all of our guests our dancing. He did a great job as the emcee throughout the event. He provided the perfect balance of making suggestions and implementing our ideas. We could not recommend him more.

Kindhearted and professional!

Jeff was one of our favorite vendors for our wedding at Mission Inn. He was a friendly and professional presence during our ceremony and during the wedding planning process he was open to customizing the day exactly how we’d imagined. His musical touch set the perfect mood. Would highly recommend! Thanks, Jeff!

Jeff Scott is the Guitarist to hire for your event!

Oh where do I even begin? Can I fit into words just how wonderful this man, guitarist and fellow event professional is? You know you’re looking at an incredible talent when you move to Central Florida and there is only one name you hear among the event community….and he’s the only guitarist that you see appear at networking events, both as an attendee and a sponsor. To sum it up: Jeff Scott is it. He’s the one. The one you want at your event. Can I just stop and gush for a minute of the pure excitement I had when I was actually able to book Jeff for the Valentine’s Dinner Special Event I was planning? I mean he was only booked at one of Orlando’s most iconic venues the year prior, and I managed to get him first! That was the first of many successful and memorable holiday events and occasions for my members. He is Jeff Scott, a man with a flawless reputation within the event industry, a wedding professional that is liked, no loved by his fellow friendors (vendor friends). He is kind, funny, professional, responsive, dedicated and have I mentioned talented enough? He performs at a world class level and brings it each and every time. His beautiful guitar music is the perfect complement to any holiday brunch, wedding ceremony, cocktail party or catering event. For those that appreciate a true acoustic guitar player, and also probably those that are not as musically inclined, you will appreciate Jeff Scott! He will delight you, as he’s proved time and again to perform at the highest level of musical talent combined with complete professionalism. Jeff, thank you for your true partnership and friendship within Central Florida’s event community. It has been a tremendous honor to partner with you at my events and has been a pleasure to build a friendship outside of work. You have a gift to share with the community, a gift that I’ve been fortunate to experience many times. Your professionalism, passion and true artistic talent radiates during each performance. It’s an honor to provide a recommendation for you Jeff Scott as the guitarist to book for your event.

Highly recommend, 110% satisfied!

We got married January 25, 2020 and even though Jeff was our musician and guitarist, he is so much more than that! During the wedding planning process I came across many vendors that don't like to meet with you beforehand as they view that as time they are not getting paid; however Jeff is the total opposite. Above and beyond! He met with us without hesitation AND brought his guitar to play for us. We were blown away not only by his undeniable talent and experience but also how nice and friendly he is. He was the only musical talent we considered, after we met him we were so impressed and knew we had to book him right away. Jeff played the guitar during our ceremony and dinner, then moved into DJ and above all he emceed and kept the entire night on track. Leading up to the wedding he worked directly with the coordinator at our venue to understand the timeline of events and made sure everything stayed on track the day of. I was very impressed with the flow of songs, and had multiple guests compliment the music. Jeff was on the mic the perfect amount, he did a surprise by dedicating a song to me - which was such an awesome observance he made and is such a special memory for me. My dad had a last minute surprise that Jeff was able to pull off without a hitch. The highest recommendation for Jeff - very kind, personable, flexible, talented. We are trying to find reasons to have parties just to book him again, great guy!!

Jeff is Perfect for Us!

Our wedding is in March 2021, so I can't speak to Jeff's day-of demeanor yet. But after consulting with him and ultimately booking him, I am confident he will be fantastic. We wanted a guitarist for our outdoor ceremony, and when I googled it, Jeff came right up. When we met with him, he brought his guitar and played samples of music for over an hour. Everything from Elvis to Queen to Willie Nelson to Taylor Swift to Bach and Pachelbel - Jeff is a virtuoso guitarist. He was so kind and friendly, and his price can't be beat. We are getting live music for the ceremony AND his DJ servives for the reception, for $200 an hour. The venue and the music are our two biggest priorities, so we are thriled to have a musician of Jeff's caliber help us set the tone!

Jeff Rocks!

My new wife and I highly recommend Jeff Scott. Jeff's professionalism and attention to detail is top notch! From the pre-ceremony guitar music to the mix of dance music at the reception, he kept the party going. Jeff even learned 2 new songs that my wife wanted to be a part of the wedding. We were total please that Jeff was a part of our celebration (as were our guest). The next time we throw a party - Jeff will be in charge of the music!

Jeff made our day truly special!

We were so pleased to be able to work with Jeff for our beach wedding. We hired him last minute and he was able to be prepared quickly and all of our guests LOVED the music. I hired him VERY shortly before my wedding date and he was able to accommodate me and even learned a special song for me to walk down the aisle to. Not only that, but he did MC duties for us and helped keep us on track the day of as I did not have a coordinator! He was able to quickly roll with the punches and really made the day flow smoothly. Jeff was so friendly & professional and has such a great presence. He made us feel so comfortable, and really helped set the perfect mood throughout the entire evening. Highly recommend having him for your special day!

Phenomenal Musician

We found Jeff when looking for a musician to play during cocktail hour and dinner at our wedding. The more we read about Jeff, the more we realized he would be the best choice for musician and DJ. When we met Jeff, he played the guitar for us and was able to play many well-known songs. Jeff provided us with lists of well-known and wedding favorite songs to help compile our list and show our taste in music. The day of the wedding Jeff played the guitar and mingled though the tables during cocktail hour and dinner. He was sure to keep everyone on the dance floor and played a great variety of songs.

Amazing Musician

Jeff was a true professional throughout the entire process. He is an amazing musician with true talent. When we gave him our requests for the ceremony, he took the time to learn one of the songs! Our ceremony music was perfect, and he also did a great job choosing songs for cocktail hour based on out request. We could not have made a better choice for our ceremony and cocktail hour music!!

Such a pleasure to work with!

I cannot say enough great things about Jeff! We had an intimate wedding and just wanted acoustic guitar for the ceremony and while guests were waiting. Not only is he incredibly talented and versatile, but he is extremely professional and kind and just an all around pleasure to work with! Pretty much every one of our vendors recommended him for our needs and they were so right. I would 100% recommend hiring him to anyone looking for live music on their big day!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
