Tavi and his magic touch

We love Tavi and his associates! From the planning process to the wedding day, everything was amazing with Tavi and his magical guitar touch! We trusted him to create a music composition for ceremony and cocktail hr and it was just perfect! Thank you, Tavi! Cannot wait to work with you again!

So very talented!

I have always known that I wanted a guitarist to play at my wedding. My wedding planner raved about Tavi, so of course I read client reviews and listened to his work. He is so incredibly talented.
Tavi was very easy to communicate with and was professional with every encounter. Tavi was able to play two arrangements upon our request that were not part of his current repertoire list. They were absolutely beautiful! His repertoire list is robust with lots of great options for wedding pre ceremony, ceremony and cocktail hour.
Tavi also communicated with our DJ independently to discuss sound and logistics, so as to be fully prepared on the day of the wedding.
We received so many compliments from our guests on Tavi's talent and would recommend him to any future bride and groom.

Tavi created a very elegant feel for my wedding ceremony and reception. Was very professional. Played exactly what I asked Many guests thought he was amazing. I could not meet up with him before my wedding at all but he made sure i knew what I was getting by sending me many videos. I highly recommend this guitarist!!!

Tavi brought our wedding theme full circle with the beautiful music he provided for our ceremony and cocktail hour. He was very easy to work with and I would be happy to contract him for future events.

We had such a great experience with Tavi! He played beautifully at our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. He set the tone for the evening wonderfully and even accommodated a few special requests. Our guests were blown away and told us Tavi's playing was one of their favorite parts of the wedding. Everything was seamless - highly recommended. Thank you, Tavi!

Tavi is so talented and made our ceremony so special! He was so flexible and even stayed overtime into cocktail hour. I can't thank him enough for playing our song requests so beautifully and for being such a pleasure to work with. He brought our wedding to life and we're so happy we selected him. I hope we have an event in the near future where we can hire him again.

Writing this review is one of the easiest things I've ever done. I only wish there was a higher rating than 5 stars. Tavi, simply put, was amazing from start to finish. His playing is nuanced and passion filled. Our guests were essentially treated to a world class concert the moment they arrived at the church. He was extremely accommodating and sensitive to every need and request we made, from the moment we met over the phone and during our face to face. He is patient, personable and an absolute pleasure to work with. For anyone considering hiring Tavi for an event, my whole hearted advice is, don't hesitate, book him now and rest assured you are in great hands!

We were fortunate to have Tavi play during our ceremony and cocktail hour. We wanted non-traditional music for our ceremony (i.e., no wedding march or Canon in D), and Tavi suggested four perfect songs to play during the processional and recessional. He wove them together seamlessly and also played a musical interlude during our ceremony with relatively short notice. Tavi also played during our reception hour, and our guests absolutely loved his playing, especially my father, himself a classical guitarist.

Tavi's music imbued our wedding day with warmth and brightness. While we were initially drawn to Tavi for his impeccable technique and musicality, we were equally impressed by his professional demeanor and warmth. His music truly was key in making our wedding day feel intimate, creative, and beautiful.

I hope this is not the last time we are able to listen to Tavi play!

An amazing artist, musician and man. We couldn't have asked for anything more. Our meeting with him before the wedding was comfortable and exactly what we needed. Our ceremony was so much better with the incomparable talents of Tavi. Thank you so much!
