Mike Silvestri is Chicagoland's premier solo guitar/vocalist for weddings. He does around 150 performances every year, and is new to Wedding Wire & very happy to be a trusted vendor. He has done EVERY aspect of a wedding from: Wedding ceremony, Cocktail hour, Dinner, First dance, Reception, Rehearsal Dinner, and while guests are arriving. He can do vocal/guitar songs or just instrumental guitar; or both!

He is extremely mobile, so if you need him to move from room to room; it is no problem and only takes a very short time for re-setup. His performance only requires a small 5' x 5' space & only 1 outlet (he includes full sound equipment), and sounds just like a 3 piece band (1 singer; 1 guitar/singer; 1 guitar/singer) due to the professional equipment he uses, and his skill level. He prides himself on volume control, and it's always his top priority to make sure the music is never too loud.

If you hire Mike, you can forget about having to worry about the music side of things; he has it all under control. Being a full time performer, and owning his own recording studio, he has a veteran understanding of how to work with live sound, attention to fine detail, and intuitively tweaking the performance to exceed expectations.

If there is a certain "special song/s" - he will learn it for you, and will even send you a live personalized demo recording of any specific song upon request so you can hear how it will sound; there are no guessing games involved.

Clients find mike to be a true master of communication, and he is extremely clear on fine details, and thinking of things the clients would've never thought of. This eliminates any miscommunication, and makes the event run smooth!
