Tim is the best!

I highly recommend Tim Maynard for your wedding! We knew we wanted a guitarist/cello for our cocktail hour and were thrilled to find Tim and his accompanist, Jeff. From the start, Tim was responsive, easy to work with, professional, flexible and just an all around great guy. He helped make our ceremony beautiful and memorable and so many guests commented on how excellent his playing was. I can't say enough good things about Tim! He really helped make our wedding day special and memorable.

Unforgetable

Tim was absolutely one of the highlights of our wedding!
We received many compliments on his playing and song selection
but his inspired rendition of Tequila (which he composed just for us) was truly unforgetable and totally WOWed our crowd.
Choosing Tim to perform at our wedding was one of the best decisions we made.

Review for Tim Maynard

Tim is a very talented guitarist and easy to work with. His playing at our small outdoor wedding last weekend was soft and beautiful. He arrived early and had to play in two different locations at the venue, but he made it look effortless. He also helped us troubleshoot the sound for the vows so that everyone could hear clearly from where they were seated, and it all went perfectly. We highly recommend Tim and are very grateful for his presence on the big day. Thank you for everything Tim!

Excellent & skilled guitarist for our wedding ceremony!

We had to postpone our wedding due to COVID and Tim was so flexible and helpful throughout the whole process. He was very prompt with responding to our questions and even gave us 3 songs for him to learn for our wedding ceremony. He was excellent on wedding day and really added magic to our ceremony. 10/10 recommend Tim!

Absolutely wonderful

We hired this music duo for our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. Tim Maynard and his crew did and exceptional job. The music selection was perfect. Our guests they love it. We had a very good relationship with Tim from the very beginning. He is very polite, knowledgeable and always available to his clients. He will bring your vision of your wedding to light. We admired how professional and responsible this vendor is. The Cello & Guitar was the perfect combination for the type of wedding we envisioned. We thank this team from the bottom of our hearts for making our special day one to remember. 🙌👏🏻⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Icing on the cake

Tim did a awesome job and performance went off without a hitch. Requested Tim play with sax accompaniment for cocktail hour and guests loved the energy and sound they were able to provide together. Very happy with service rendered and would highly recommend.

Thank you Tim!

We had a very non-regimented ceremony and reception and Tim fit right into the feel of our day. He learned a couple of songs for us and, without much pre-coordination, took every cue from us seamlessly. Great guitarist, great guy - thank you so much Tim!

Highly recommended Tim Maynard!

Tim was a pleasure to work with. Very prompt and professional with my many questions! I was worried that my ceremony wouldn’t flow well with no rehearsal but it couldn’t have gone any smoother. We decided to add a guitarist late into our wedding planning and we have zero regrets.

I highly recommend Tim Maynard!!!

Tim was a pleasure to work with!!! He had such an extensive list of songs to choose from, it was so easy to put together our song list for the ceremony and cocktail hour. It was so beautiful hearing him play our selections as my bridal party and I walked down the aisle. Whether you want classical or contemporary music, or a combination of both, I highly recommend Tim Maynard!
