Ken was so great to work with! He played at my sisters wedding and then I was lucky enough to have him play at mine! Ken is so easy to talk with and makes the process of finding the perfect musician to play at a wedding easy. Ken offered great suggestions to different songs to play and if he didn’t know the song I wanted, he offered to learn it. I had several great phone conversations with Ken as we came up with the perfect songs for him to play at the ceremony. He plays beautiful music which was perfect for the ceremony. Ken also played at our cocktail hour. He is amazing! Such a positive, passionate person who truly has talent!

Ken Rothacker-Premiere Wedding Guitarist!
Ken was an excellent addition to our outdoor ceremony. He had an extensive repertoire of music to choose from and he was very accommodating; even when it came to switching locations after our venue went out of business 3 weeks before our wedding. I would highly recommend choosing Ken for your wedding ceremony, he is an awesome guitar player!

Live music is the best. Ken will provide you with great music that your guests will be talking about long after your wedding day.
Ken is a wonderful musician with a broad base of music styles. We recently performed a wedding together, I found him cordial, helpful, and giving. His renditions of Beatles songs as skillful and memorable.
