Highly reccommend!

Michael is a wonderful guitarist. His playing is truly beautiful. He learned to play a song that I really wanted for my wedding in less than a month and he executed it! He was professional, straightforward in communication, and a great accompaniment to our wedding ceremony.

Michael was excellent to work with for our Vegas wedding. He was punctual, well prepared & played beautifully. At the last minute we discovered we needed a microphone and Michael brought us one. He did an excellent job. I wouldn't hesitate to book him!! I wish he lived closer to our home state, we would have booked him for our reception. Thank you Michael!

Book Michael Root and don't think twice. Great communicator. Very sweet and gracious. Michael was so easy to work with--not to mention incredibly accomodating, punctual, talented and is experienced with weddings. He was eager to please and patient during my song decision making process. After the ceremony he sought me out to thank us before leaving.

I would not have wanted anyone else. Michael Root did an amazing job at my wedding even with a short notice to come play. He was such a professional and easy to get along with! He was very flexible and was even able to come to my rehearsal! I would not give Michael anything lower than 5 stars

One week before the wedding the musician for the wedding ceremony had to cancel. We found Michael on Weddingwire and liked the videos of his classical guitar that he had posted. He was very accommodating to our situation and was even able to come to the rehearsal. Michael is very talented, professional and easy to work with.

Michael is an extremely friendly, responsive, professional, and highly skilled musician.

His musical arrangements were beautiful, and he was willing to learn additional music to make sure we had a wonderful ceremony and reception.

Everyone thought Michael and I (the groom) were college buddies because he was personable and got along great with our friends and family, and people were asking me about him all day.

I would recommend Michael Root to anyone getting married, his services are top-notch.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
