Highly talented & professional!

I hired John for my wedding ceremony and cocktail hour music and he was excellent! Leading up to the wedding I only had the vaguest idea of what kind of music I wanted to play during the processional/recessional/etc., but John was very helpful in suggesting different options and recommending the most lovely songs. He was also always very professional and communicative, and everything the day-of went beautifully. I got such great reviews from family and friends as well!

Last Minute

John filled in for us last minute when our guitarist couldn’t make it. He came last second the day of the wedding and played everything as we had planned. Our ceremony music was beautiful and our guests enjoyed the instrumentals during cocktail hour. He would make a wonderful addition to your day if you’d like the added aspect of live music.

John was able to jump in nearly last minute to cover for our guitarist, who was unable to make it to our wedding. John came recommended by our original guitarist, whom raved about John. John was everything that our original guitarist had said he was - reliable, punctual, professional, talented and extremely flexible and great to work with. He was able to work with us and our wedding planner so smoothly. We are truly thankful for John's talents and that he was able to play such beautiful music for our wedding ceremony. Thank you so much John!

John subbed in at the last moment for another guitarist and he was wonderful. He played at both our ceremony and cocktail reception. He learned all the music we requested (in a very short time frame) and had a great repertoire of songs for the cocktail hour. He was professional and classy, and his music created a beautiful atmosphere for both the ceremony and cocktail hour.

We were very pleased with John's performance at our 50th wedding party. He performed exactly as we had requested. He was efficient, respectful, and very willing to try to honor our requests. He is a talented young man and greatly enhanced our party. We would be happy to use his services again should we need them in the future. We would recommend him.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
