Performing over two hundred weddings a year, Ybarra Music knows how important every detail is for creating the perfect musical soundtrack for your ceremony. Our ensembles can provide a beautiful classical setting for the ceremony with solo guitar, guitar & flute duo, vocals, cello, bass, or a classical/jazz ensemble. Also, we have many years of experience providing music for religious ceremonies. Anthony was a Catholic choir director for over 12 years and has a wide selection of music for Christian/Catholic weddings, Persian weddings, and Jewish weddings.

Since the proper music can enhance the ambiance of any ceremony, Ybarra Music can offer a variety of musical options to make your ceremony elegant, memorable, and romantic. From traditional to custom requests, we provides an extensive repertoire of selections. However, the perfect musical choices is based off of the
ideas and imagination of the client.
Whether it is a Spanish theme, a Santa Barbara theme, a Beatles theme, a traditional theme,
or a little bit of everything, we can provide that setting a wedding couple envisions for their perfect day.

" Anthony! WOW! Thank you so mcuh for being apart of our special day. You are incredible - I'm so blessed to know you. The soloist was absolutley perfect - she sang the hymn so beautifully. Your guitar added such beauty and grace to our event. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts" Mary Jane & Mark - Married 2008

Beautiful Music for Our Wedding Ceremony

Tony Ybarra provided an exceptional solo acoustic guitar performance at our wedding ceremony, and I couldn’t be more thrilled with his contribution. Tony was an absolute pleasure to work with—he was incredibly responsive via email and a delight to communicate with throughout the planning process. He also was able to setup the microphone and speaker himself which was one thing less I had to think about on the big day.

Not only did Tony have an extensive music library showcasing a broad range of styles, but he also went above and beyond by accommodating every song request I made. Whether it was finding the perfect piece or even writing music himself, his commitment to tailoring the performance to our special day was truly remarkable.

One of the most memorable moments was when he incorporated delicate guitar strumming during the reading of a specific poem—it added a magical, heartwarming touch that perfectly complemented the atmosphere of our ceremony.

I wholeheartedly recommend Tony Ybarra for anyone seeking talented and dedicated solo acoustic guitar services. His professionalism, musical prowess, and genuine kindness truly enhanced our wedding experience.

Lovely ceremony strings

We loved having the trio for our ceremony and cocktail hour. The music set the mood perfectly. I told them the style and type of music I wanted played and they did it perfectly. The guests loved the touch of live music for the ceremony and cocktail hour. We had them play Disney music even though it wasn’t on their list. Couldn’t recommend them more for your event!

Anthony is a true artist. He is an excellent musician and is excellent with responding to questions. Whenever I have worked with Anthony, he has delivered excellent work for both Ceremony, Cocktail Hour, and dinner music. Having him at your event really adds a special touch. Guests love to sit and watch him play, it really elevates your wedding.

Anthony played during our outdoor cocktail hour. He was absolutely fantastic! The music complimented the mood of joy and excitement perfectly. Anthony also accommodated our last minute request for music as we contacted Anthony only a week before our wedding. Highly recommend. Great value for superb talent.

Anthony Ybarra did an amazing job of setting the mood for our outdoor ceremony. We wanted a guitar soloist and found the perfect one in Anthony. He was able to set the mood and played terrific renditions of some of the classics we picked for the processional and even learned a new song for us. His version of a Brudda Iz classic for our recessional brought tears to everyone's eyes. Anthony was always responsive and such a pleasure to work with. Highly recommended!

Anthony was AWESOME! He played for both the ceremony and cocktail hour. We basically gave him 3 songs for the ceremony and he played whatever he wanted and it was fantastic. Many of my guests commented on how unique and romantic a Spanish guitar was. My only regret ....I didn't get to hear most of his fabulous guitar playing as we were taking pictures :-( If you are looking for a phenomenal guitarist...look no further!
