Petra is phenomenal. Highly recommend.

Petra is a gifted, intuitive musician. This, combined with her incredibly warm presence and professionalism, is what makes her stand out from others. We had a micro wedding of 25 people. It was so important to us that every component fit in with our vision for intimacy. I had a very particular vision for the day. Petra’s music simultaneously elevated our ceremony, while bringing it all together into one cohesive moment in time. Without a doubt, I believe our ceremony felt magical because of Petra. She played at the perfect volume, choosing the appropriate music based on my loose guidance, and also perfectly executed the moments of silence we asked for.

I give Petra my strongest recommendation. I chose to communicate/work with her directly (rather than her talent rep), and I’m so glad that I did.

Thank you Petra!!!! We will always remember how our wedding day felt thanks to your musical presence.

excellent musician

Petra was very communicative and flexible. She is a consummate professional. She sounded beautiful and created a beautiful ambiance. Everyone enjoyed her presence at the party. She is calm and obviously has had a lot of experience.We did not have to worry about her at all and were able to just enjoy the party. She also has very reasonable prices

Just right

The music flowed well and was incorporated into the ceremony perfectly. Not too much or overpowering, just right.

Perfect Ceremony Accompaniment

We loved having Petra be part of a ceremony! She is so talented and having her play guitar at the ceremony was the final detail that really brought it all together. Communication was always easy and she was great to work with during the planning process.

Perfect New Mexico wedding music

I highly recommend Petra. She played guitar for our wedding ceremony, cocktail hour and dinner reception. She played a wide variety of music, including two special requests, one she learned in a very short timeframe. Her volume was perfect and many of our guests complimented her playing throughout the wedding. Don't hesitate to reach out to Petra for your wedding or other special event.

Absolutely Stunning Guitar Playing and An Incredible Human

Petra is hands down the best classical guitarist I have ever experienced live. She stood out to me immediately when I found her online for my wedding this year. There is a soulfulness and skill in the way that she plays that is hard to find in many wedding musicians. She was professional and communicative throughout the entire process and she seemed capable of learning any song that I requested. She was professional, timely, and just a kind person all around. Her rates are more than fair and I am so lucky and grateful we found her. I hope to have the chance to hear her beautiful music again in the future!

We love Petra!!!

I have now worked with Petra for 2 very special occasions in our home. One was for a festive birthday cocktails and dinner, the other for a New Years celebration dinner. Petra is talented and professional. She wants you to have the best experience and I would love to work with her again!!

Extremely talented!

We were so grateful to find Petra for our daughter's wedding at Loretto Chapel. She played the guitar & her partner played the cello, which really elevated the entire event. I couldn't believe how talented Petra is. She alone really created a wonderful and peaceful environment for our guests. Prior to the event, she also made the song selection so easy as well. If I could give her 10-stars, I would. Thank you so much, Petra, for making our event a special one.

Great Spanish Guitar

We hired Petra to play the Spanish guitar during our wedding ceremony. The music perfectly complimented the Santa Fe landscape, and she was great to work with.

Beautiful Guitar for Our Wedding

We had Petra play during our ceremony and cocktail hour, and her playing was gorgeous. She was highly flexible, and was open to playing two custom songs we had chosen, and played them beautifully. We highly recommend her!
