    Incredible performer, great flexibility!

    Austin was absolutely amazing! We hired him about a month out from the wedding after our previous guitarist cancelled on us. Despite how last-minute it was, he dove in head-first, learning the music we needed him to learn, accommodating our requests, and being flexible with our questions and changes. The music itself was played so beautifully (it brought my now-husband who never cries to tears!!) and perfectly, it felt like we hired him a year out as opposed to only a month. Thank you, Austin, for stepping in when we needed you and helping make our ceremony that much more special!

    Amazing Guitarist!

    Austin is amazing at the classical guitar! The ambiance he creates is perfect for weddings, or private events to create romance and class. As a guitar enthusiast I'm super impressed by how good his technique is and he can play some really difficult music, but make it sound elegant and easy. Would 100% recommend!

    10/10 would recommend to a friend

    Austin was hands-down the best vendor to work with from start to finish. He was incredibly professional, responsive, and organized, which gave us so much peace of mind throughout the planning process. He took the time to meet with us whenever we needed and offered thoughtful guidance and suggestions for our song selections, which made everything feel personal and would reassure any nervous wedding planning anxieties.

    He played for both our ceremony and cocktail hour, and everything went off flawlessly. He got everything ready to go without needing or asking anything of us. We used his microphones and amplifiers, and the sound quality was outstanding. His presence and performance truly elevated the entire atmosphere. I’d hire him ten times over. He’s that special wow factor that helped make our wedding feel truly magical.

    Lovely music for our son's wedding

    We hired Austin for our son's wedding welcome party at Blooming Hill Farm in the Hudson Valley. His playing is superb, and our guests commented on the lovely atmosphere he created. His repertoire is very impressive. We requested jazz and classical to create the atmosphere we wanted, but he is such an accomplished musician that he can play a stunning variety of genres equally well, including rock and pop. In addition to all of this, he is an incredibly nice person who understood exactly what we wanted, and it was a pleasure to work with him.

    Would recommend Austin Charnis to anyone

    Austin made our wedding, truly. Using him for ceremony & cocktail hour brought such a special touch we would not be able to replicate. His song list is huge and covers a lot of ground, he even mentions he’ll learn a specific song for couples if not on his list! Austin was very kind and easy to work with. We felt very confident and supported going into our wedding. Do not think twice about trusting Austin with your live, beautiful music!!

    Beautiful Music

    We were so delighted to have Austin play at my son's wedding. He was very professional and a pleasure to speak with as we discussed music selection. In its simplistic form Austin played such beautiful music creating an intimate, warm and wonderful atmosphere for the garden ceremony. Thank you, Austin, for the lovely music.

    Wonderful to work with!

    Austin was so incredibly wonderful to work with. He was attentive and patient, and his music fit in perfectly for our special day! Additionally - especially as my family is full of audiophiles - his microphone quality and PA system overall was top notch. We'd totally recommend him to anyone getting married in the area in the future!

    100% Recommend Austin!

    Austin was recommended to us as a preferred musician of The Garrison and we are so glad we went with him! After checking out his site and listening to him play, I was immediately sold. He is an excellent guitar player. His repertoire of songs is so big that he can play to whatever your preference may be. He was friendly and communicative during the planning phase. Importantly, Austin also provided the microphone and sound setup for our ceremony. The sound during our ceremony was perfect, which can really make or break a ceremony. We 100% recommend Austin to play your wedding!

    You won't regret hiring Austin!

    Austin did an incredible job providing music for the ceremony and cocktail hour of our wedding this past June. Not only is he a very talented musician, he offers a large variety of song choices and was willing to learn new music as well. He is very easy to work with, responsive and professional. Highly recommend hiring Austin if you want to set the mood for an event!

    Amazing for our intimate micro wedding

    First off we planned our wedding in about two weeks, and when we originally began we hadn’t thought twice about having music until my husbands mother gave us the suggestion. We are super low key people and were unsure if a musician would fit the vibe, but when we found Austin we knew right away he was the perfect addition to our little elopement / micro wedding. He was so kind and flexible and easy to reach. He made us so comfortable. We got to choose our own set of songs and when they would be played, and let me tell you it made the day even more magical. Hearing Moon River while we read our vows to each other absolutely melted my heart and made me cry even harder than I already was! Thank you l, Austin, for being a part of our day. I hope we can work with you again one day!!

    Exceptional!!

    Austin was incredible right from the start. He is extremely responsive which made for stress free weeks leading up to the event. We had him play our cocktail hour, where we received so many compliments for how well he played, his music selection, etc. We even had guests in he middle of the wedding ask for his contact information so they could potentially use him for other events. I cannot recommend him enough!!

    Austin made our ceremony truly special!

    Austin is such a talented musician, and his acoustic guitar added the perfect romantic, personal touch we were looking for for our wedding ceremony! He has a large repertoire of classical and modern songs to choose from, and was so kind and helpful throughout the planning process. He also was very flexible on our wedding day when the weather caused some logistical changes. We highly recommend him to add that special something to your wedding or event!

    Incredible to work with! Look no further!

    Austin was incredible to work with! We cannot recommend him enough! He played music during our ceremony and cocktail hour which made that time so beautiful and created such an ambiance. He even learned a song by Kenny Chesney for us which I walked down the aisle to with my dad. It was so special to us and truly made our day. He is very talented and clearly so passionate about what he does! He is also very responsive and flexible with his music. He was able to put any wedding worries at ease as we knew we were in great hands!

    Excellent guitarist!

    Austin played for our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour and sounded fantastic! Very responsive and easy to communicate with, and even learned a song for the bride's entrance that wasn't already on his list. No stress at all re: getting him set up, and he hit all the cues for the ceremony perfectly despite not attending the rehearsal. Would strongly recommend him to anyone seeking a live guitarist.

    Skilled Guitarist and Lovely Guy!

    I'm so happy to have worked with Austin for our wedding ceremony! He learned two new songs, that meant a lot of my partner and I, which speaks to his flexibility and affable demeanor. Austin's music elevated our wedding ceremony to a more romantic and personable experience, and set the tone for the rest of the day. We received many compliments on his guitar playing from our guests and the music brought a lot of joy to our day.
    Definitely don't hesitate about hiring Austin! He is the sweetest guy, very easy to collaborate with, allows a lot of freedom on music choice/vibe and works really hard to make the day as special as can be!

    Wonderful musician

    We had the best experience working with Austin. He is so talented, professional, responsive, and really tied our whole event together. Our guests loved not only his music, but how personable he is. We couldn't have asked for a better experience from the initial phone call to the event. Thank you, Austin!

    Amazingly Talented Guitarist!

    We had a wonderful experience working with Austin. He is an amazingly talented guitarist who helped make our wedding day everything we envisioned and so much more!

    We were planning a small intimate wedding and were looking for a guitarist for our ceremony, cocktail hour and reception. We were very fortunate to find Austin. His reviews were exceptional, so we decided to listen to some of his music samples. We were impressed with his music and set up a meeting with him. He was very personable, provided valuable input and was very flexible with our requests. He played the perfect assortment of music throughout the day, including a song that he learned especially for us and requests from the group. He had a great sense for the vibe in the room and changed things up throughout the night. Everyone had so much fun!

    We are so happy that we chose Austin to be part of our special day. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for a musician! We hope to work with him again in the future!

    Holy moly this guy is the BEST

    There are not enough stars in the galaxy to rate Austin! His professionalism, dedication and skill will make your special day or event come alive! I cannot put into words how his playing and presence at my wedding was a complete game changer. Look no further for somebody to be attentive to you, your guests and the event. He communicated with us from day one and helped us orchestrate and pick the absolute best songs, best play list and when to play them. His knowledge of music is unparalleled to none! Whether it was songs you've heard before, or beautiful renditions of already written songs, Austin's skill are incomparable. Look no further for somebody to fill even the biggest shoes of your special event, this guy is the real deal and as good as they get. I am forever grateful for having him there for my special day, as I'm sure you will feel the same for yours! Thank you again Austin Charnis Guitar for kicking some serious ass and for making people cry......in the best way possible of course! It wouldn't have been the same without you!

    Phenomenal all around!

    Austin was incredible to work with for our wedding ceremony! We had many acoustic options to choose from, varying in genre and tempo, that allowed us to customize the mood and set the tone perfectly for our wedding. Austin was prompt with his responses and very professional. It was so special to have him as part of our day!

    Beautiful and unique wedding music

    We are so happy we decided to book Austin. He was so easy to communicate with and was so flexible about all of our music choices - he has a long list of songs in his repertoire, but was even kind enough to learn a brand new song that we specially requested because it was meaningful to us. And of course, he sounded beautiful on the day of. If you want a special and unique addition to your wedding day music, I would definitely go with Austin.

    Music to Your Ears & Heart

    020222- Met Austin online and what you see is what you get. Great communication from start to finish. As a fellow musician, I was able to communicate in a familiar language, but even if I had not been, Austin was clear on our music choices and came in prepared to keep the evening warm with beautifully covered songs, improvised like a true professional. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the music which complimented the space and enhanced our special evening. I would highly recommend Austin Charnis for intimate weddings and similar occasions!

    Magical Music

    Austin is an absolute gem of a find! He came recommended by another young musician who told us "I know someone who will make your day magic" and Austin delivered! Every communication we had felt like speaking to a friend, someone you would trust with these precious moments. He was so flexible (we kept changing our song choices) and when we finally settled, he played them all SO beautifully! He added heart to our ceremony and soul to our cocktail hour. He even helped facilitate all of the toasts during dinner, going above and beyond the role of a musician. I could not be happier with Austin, and am hoping to find an excuse to have another party so that I can hire him again :)

    Fantastic Acoustic Guitar Player for Outdoor Wedding

    Austin performed acoustic guitar and provided the sound for our outdoor wedding ceremony and cocktail hour this past fall and his performance helped to create exactly the atmosphere that my husband and I were looking for! From the very start, Austin was quick to respond and provided us with clear options for the music choices we were looking for. Even when we had to postpone our wedding due to COVID-19, Austin was accommodating and supportive. I highly recommend Austin to anyone looking for beautiful music to set the mood for any event!

    Book now!!

    Austin is amazing! He was the best decision we could have made. Not only is he incredibly talented, but he personalizes the experience, is easy to work with and went above and beyond to be helpful at every turn. I was having trouble picking sounds and the guidance and help he provided was just what we needed. He even learned a song for us last minute to which I am eternally grateful. Would book again and again!

    Austin = Amazing

    Austin went above and beyond for us learning one of our favorite songs (Concerning Hobbits) for our wedding ceremony. We could not be more thankful for Austin's professionalism, kindness, and extreme talent. He added that special touch to our day and was such a pleasure to work with. Austin is amazing. Book him!!

    Professional and Flexible!!

    Austin was great. He was very easy to work with through the pandemic and was very flexible when we had to move our wedding date. He also was able to learn and play a special song for our ceremony with only a few weeks notice. He was self sufficient with his gear and it was a seamless experience. Would highly recommend!

    Exceptional Musician & Professional

    Austin was a wonderful part of our wedding who I would recommend to anyone looking for a classical guitarist. As a fellow musician, I wanted to book Austin early on after hearing his demos that showcased his skill and versatility. He always responded quickly and was flexible in the planning leading up to the wedding. He also went above and beyond to perfect a special song arrangement request that made our ceremony even more meaningful. He was punctual the day of the wedding and helped keep our schedule moving. Many of our guests remarked afterward how much they enjoyed his music. We would happily book him again for a future event!

    So talented and accommodating!!

    Austin was the absolute best choice that we made for music for our wedding. We needed to quickly put together a micro-wedding when COVID hit, and Austin was willing and able to accommodate our every need. He was so patient when I took forever to respond amidst the chaos of the pandemic, he was willing to work with us on anything we needed, and he always responded to my emails/texts so quickly. I also come from a family of musicians, so I knew they had to be impressed with our wedding music. The first thing one of my musician aunts said in our group text when our wedding Zoom started was "the guitarist is great!". Austin will be sure to impress even the toughest of critics. Hire him for your wedding!!!

    True Professional -

    I highly recommend hiring Austin to play at your wedding. He is extremely talented, hardworking and super responsive.
    From the first call with Austin I knew he was exactly what we were looking for. Our guests complemented him and he’s just an all around great guy. I’m looking forward to seeing all the great things he does in the future as well.
    Don’t even think it through just go ahead and book Austin! I promise you he will deliver.

    Extraordinary guitarist and a pleasure to work with

    We hired Austin to perform at our intimate wedding on the Lyndhurst Estate earlier this month. In addition to being an extraordinary guitarist with a fantastic repertoire, Austin was such a pleasure to work with and a delightful person. From beginning to end, he was extremely responsive and accomodating (even when we changed up the music selections just a few days before!) He played beautifully throughout the evening and made each moment special for us. We highly recommend Austin for any event!

    Austin was a great vendor to work with from beginning to end. He is very responsive throughout the whole process and has a great list of songs to choose from. During the event, his ceremony and reception music was perfect for our venue and it really helped to make our wedding day very special. I am very grateful for the level of care and professionalism Austin showed, thank you so much Austin!

    Great and glad we were able to find him

    Austin was incredibly flexible and accommodating in helping us have a fantastic (rather) last minute COVID wedding. My wife and I were trying to limit the number of people at the wedding because of covid concerns so a band was out of the question. Austin really set the mood, playing before and during the ceremony, cocktail hour and during dinner. His acoustic melodies were really fantastic.

    Thanks so much Austin!

    Wedding Ceremony/Cocktail Hour

    Austin was a pleasure to work with! He was very responsive and easily accommodated my special requests on short notice! Even with a pandemic and a power outage during our wedding weekend, he called me to ensure everything would be okay! As the bride, I had many things going on the day of the wedding and I knew I didn't have to worry about him! He was there on time and his music was absolutely beautiful! HIGHLY recommend to anyone who wants an elegant touch of live guitar for there wedding!

    Just Perfect!

    Music is such an important part of our lives and hiring Austin to play for the ceremony and cocktail hour was the perfect decision! He is a talented musician, but also so easy to work with. He is very accommodating - learned Sea of Love for the processional!
    Our only regret is not being able to hear more of his playing as we were so busy with guests!!

    Extremely talented and played our special song!!

    Besides being musically talented, Austin brings an air of professionalism and kindness to his business. Months prior to our wedding Austin was meticulous in helping us choose the perfect music for our cocktail hour and wedding ceremony. It was overwhelming for us to decide on the music choices, but Austin worked with us (and had an extensive list which helped tremendously) to make our day feel truly special. On the day of the wedding we received throngs of compliments on how beautiful the classical guitar arrangement was, and the passion that resonated from Austin’s skill. With Austin you don’t just get a very talented musician, you get a very sweet and kind person who is intent on giving your wedding the much needed attention it deserves.

    Austin's music added much to our ceremony and cocktail hour, we wish we could have listened more! He can play all styles and knows so many incredible songs. He offered excellent suggestions during planing and was very professional taking care of the details with the venue. I would highly recommend Austin and his talent for any type of ceremony!

    A ceremony to remember forever!

    Austin was amazing! Our wedding wouldn't have been the same without him there. He made our ceremony and cocktail hour that much more special by personalizing every song for us. He even went out of his way to learn the theme song to Game of Thrones so my wife could make her medieval stride down the aisle! Austin worked with us at every step to make sure everything was the way we wanted. He was very generous to go above and beyond, and I highly recommend his services!

    Wonderful Wedding Guitarist!

    Austin was awesome -- I'm so glad we found him to make our backyard wedding that much more special. He was super accommodating. open, and friendly...also obviously very talented! He learned a new Jason Mraz arrangement for our processional at our request. He also went above and beyond to learn and rehearse a song that my sister-in-law sang for the bridal processional. It was a pleasure working with Austin and we would absolutely recommend working with him!!

    Austin is absolutely amazing. We highly recommend him! He is an incredibly talented musician, and we feel lucky we were able to book him! He was so professional, flexible and even willing to learn a new song on the guitar for our wedding. He took care of all the behind the scenes stuff so we didn't have to worry about any of it, showed up not just on time but early, was all set up, had extra gear, and was just all around outstanding!

    Golf Course Wedding

    We certainly lucked out having Austin play for us during our outdoor wedding ceremony and cocktail hour this past May. Austin is a talented musician who helped make our special day complete! He was extremely easy to work with, flexible and kind. Austin was always quick to return emails and truly wanted to capture our vision for the day. He absolutely delivered! I will never forget walking down the walkway with my mother to my husband and hearing Austin’s beautiful music. We highly recommend Austin and cannot wait to hear him again! Thank you!

    Excellent!!

    Austin's guitar playing was exactly what we were looking for to accompany our lakeside wedding ceremony. His repertoire fit our tastes perfectly and he was willing to learn any song we requested. He came fully equipped with a great sound system and wireless microphones for our officiant(s). Throughout the whole process, Austin was extremely professional and helpful. We knew after our initial phone call that he had our best interests in mind and he was going to handle the ceremony music with ease. If you're looking for guitar accompaniment, look no further than Austin Charnis.

    Wonderful guitar playing at Celebration of Life for my Mom

    Perfect addition to your day!

    Austin was wonderful to work with! I had an odd song request for my ceremony and after I found an arrangement I loved, he was able to get the music and learn the piece in time for the wedding. It was perfect. Also, who doesn’t love live music? Everyone talked about how amazing it was to listen to his beautiful talent. People told me afterwards that they could of sat and listened to him play all night. We’re so happy we hired Austin! And for a bonus, he’s an overall great guy : )

    Best day ever

    We hired Austin to play the ceremony music for our barn wedding this past September and we were so beyond thrilled. He was FANTASTIC, so flexible, and his music was beautiful. I changed my mind maybe three or four times on the processional songs and he was so accommodating--giving me additional recommendations for songs that would go together and placement. I decided late in the game that I wanted to hear Waste by Phish and Austin found the music and learned the progression in basically a week. It sounded so lovely, I cried while waiting to walk down the aisle. If you're on the fence, don't be.

    We got married in May at West Hills Country Club. Austin was fantastic! He played our ceremony and cocktail hour. We had some special requests for our ceremony - my Husband and I are big Zac Brown fans and we asked him to play an acoustic version of "Free" for the bridal party to walk down the aisle and he learned it and played it perfectly. He added a magical touch to our ceremony and was also a pleasure to work with. We couldn't be happier!

    My husband and I were honored to have Austin play at our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. Before the wedding he took time to review song choices for the ceremony with us and ensure that we were happy with the overall flow of the music. At our request he played a combination of contemporary music and classical Brazilian guitar. The ceremony music was absolutely wonderful, it was romantic (Band of Horses and Chet Atkins) and gave it a very personal feeling. For the cocktail hour he played a lively combination of Brazilian and contemporary stylings that kept the mood light. Multiple guests approached us afterwards to compliment his playing and the atmosphere it added to the venue.

    His repertoire is truly impressive and having also taken guitar lessons from Austin I have seen him play everything from traditional wedding music and classical to rock and folk / finger picking. He is a consummate professional and he made our day that much more special!

    When planning our wedding we knew we wanted to create a very intimate feel even though we had 200 plus guests that would be attending....that is where Austin came in. We booked him to play guitar during our ceremony and cocktail hour and it was that special touch that we felt would be missing if we didn't have him. He was extremely responsive and so pleasant to deal with leading up to our wedding day. He had an amazing list of songs to choose from and told us he would even learn some new ones if we had any special requests. Although my husband and I didn't fully get to experience him during cocktail hour our guests kept coming up and telling us how talented he was. Thank you so much Austin, you made our wedding day so special!

    My husband and I got married on September 30 at Mohonk Mountain, and Austin played the guitar during our ceremony and cocktail hour - and we have to say, he was amazing! He was a pleasure to work with, responded very quickly to all of our emails, and best of all of our guests commented on how great he played. We picked all of the songs we wanted him to play, and then we told him to just fill in with whatever songs he'd like. And he did a great job doing so ! We are so happy we chose Austin to play at our wedding and we recommend him to everyone. He did such a wonderful job that I'd actually like to get my husband guitar lessons from him. He made our wedding day that much more special. Thank you Austin!

    Austin Charnis played the music for our wedding ceremony this past weekend, and he was fantastic! He is a very talented musician, but more important than that, he was just a pleasure to work with. He is true professional and made the whole process easy for me and my wife by communicating directly with the venue and the staff. And then of course, the music was perfect. For our recessional, my wife specifically asked Austin to learn a song that wasn't on his song list ("Mess is mine" - Vance Joy). That song was awesome!

    I would recommend anyone hire Austin to perform the ceremony music at their wedding! 5 stars.

    Our ceremony & cocktail hour wouldn't have been complete without Austin's talented music! It was the finishing touch that both needed & helped create the ambiance that we were looking for. We received so many compliments from our guests on the music that Austin played. He was so easy to work with from start to finish!!

    Austin was fantastic and did an amazing job performing music for our ceremony and cocktail hour. He's talented, professional and a super nice guy. We needed a musician last minute and Austin was able to accommodate us on short notice and gave great recommendations on song selection. We couldn't be happier with our experience!

    Can not say enough wonderful things about Austin. He's professional, flexible, and oh so talented! The guests at our wedding were so complimentary of Austin's music, he really added so much to the ambience of our cocktail hour. Not to mention, he played outside amidst a torrential downpour, and never lost his cool. My husband and I highly recommend him for anyone seeking a quality musician for their wedding!

    We booked Austin to play guitar while our guests were arriving for our ceremony and for our wedding ceremony. I loved his music and so did our guests! We were so happy he had such a great list of contemporary songs to choose from. It was very easy to work with Austin (especially because we don't live in the Hudson Valley area) we did a lot of our planning over email, which was best for us. Thanks Austin, you're a talented musician!

    Austin was amazing to work with from the start. We weren't set on any particular songs and he was able to give us a long list of great suggestions. He was able to take care of his set up in a timely manner the day of the wedding. His arrangement of the songs we chose was nothing short of amazing. Many of our guests commented on how intimate the ceremony felt because of the classical guitar. Everything went flawlessly and we couldn't have asked for better music for our day!

    Austin Charnis played at my wedding last May and honestly the live music made the night. Austin is a true professional and knows his classical music. Easy to work with and pays attention to every detail. Absolutely worth every penny; the live music really added a special touch to the ceremony as well as the cocktail hour. We still have family and friends rave about him. Absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a true classical guitarist.

    Austin was amazing! Our first meeting was over Skype, which was great because he was able to play us processional options. The day of our wedding he was a complete professional, on time and ready to go. He even learned a new song for us to play for our recessional. He gave us the perfect soundtrack to our ceremony and cocktail hour.

    Austin is beyond professional in his demeanor. He arrived early, checked the acoustics all around our wedding venue until he found the right space where everyone can hear what he was playing and his choice of songs for our ceremony was second to none. On a day that is important as my wedding day, Austin had me assured that the music for the ceremony was not a thing that I or my wife (...mostly my wife :) ) would ever have to worry about. I can not recommend Austin enough.

    We had the wonderful experience of having Austin's guitar music performed at our wedding. He performed one of our favorite songs as an interlude at our wedding ceremony, as well as beautiful Brazilian guitar and jazz standards during the cocktail hour. I would highly recommend Austin Charnis as a guitarist for any party. His music provided a subtle and beautiful vibe in the background.

    Austin is the consummate professional and also a stunningly talented musician. He played classical guitar for my art gallery show opening - and it really took the entire experience for all attendees to the next level. I cannot say enough good things about him! He's a great musician and a pleasure to work with.

    Austin did an excellent job at our ceremony. He started with a half hour of classical guitar as guests arrived, and then played acoustic versions of Wonderful World, Here Comes the Sun, and Over the Hills and Far Away during the ceremony. Everyone thought having him there was a nice touch. We'd definitely recommend him.

    Austin is a talented musician and he worked with us to create a unique and very special processional for our wedding ceremony. I wanted my 12- and 10-year-old niece and nephew to accompany Austin on upright bass and cello for one song during the processional. Austin was willing and excited to practice with them at their home in Westchester several times leading up to the ceremony. The result was absolutely amazing!! I cannot thank Austin enough for helping my vision come to life, and for being a such an important part of our ceremony.

    My husband and I are lucky enough to know Austin on a personal level, so we knew for a long time that we wanted Austin to play at our wedding when that time came. As soon as we asked Austin if he would want to play for us, it was nothing but extreme professionalism and guidance! We kind of knew the direction we wanted to go in, with some nontraditional songs, and he went above and beyond learning them for our ceremony, while also making some suggestions in areas we hadn't quite figured out yet. I would recommend his services to anyone looking for simple, classic and beautiful music for their wedding or any other event. He truly went above and beyond for us!

    Austin played both our ceremony and cocktail at our wedding. I cannot say enough good things about him! Austin is both talented and knowledgable about music and was able to make the perfect selections for cocktail hour. He played many of our favorite songs and took requests from my family members. My guests raved about how talented he was and having live acoustic guitar transformed our backyard wedding into a classy event. I had no idea what an amazing difference live music would make. Austin conferenced with us before our wedding to carefully match our music needs. He played traditional songs for our ceremony and then played "here comes the sun" as my surprise walk down the aisle. I loved being able to hand select my song and it was a surprise for my husband. I would highly recommend him for any formal event. He was friendly and very easy to work with.

    We were referred to Austin by our wedding band and he was nothing short of amazing. He learned multiple songs for us, and executed them with perfection. Austin was super flexible, responsive, and accommodating. He's an absolute gentleman and I'm very happy and thankful that we chose him for our wedding ceremony. There are so many moving parts to planning a wedding and it gets very stressful, but I didn't worry for one second about him.

    We were so happy with Austin! He played guitar during our pre-ceremony/ceremony. I originally wanted him to play during the wedding and the cocktail hour, but I realized there was a conflict between the venue and outside music vendors. His selection of music was excellent. He was very accommodating...the bridesmaids had some makeup issues which caused the wedding to start late, but Austin took care of us. He put everyone at ease with his great musicianship. He was a great addition to our special day.

    Beautiful music with feeling

    Austin provided the music for our wedding ceremony. He is a great guitarist, as you can clearly tell from his videos, and was incredibly easy to work with. His website with samples was really helpful and his repertoire encompasses a wonderfully broad range of music in different genres. We had some specific requests for the ceremony songs, but gave very general guidance for the prelude/postlude to the ceremony. He worked with us at both levels of specificity - a few short conversations, along with a simple form for music requests, was all that it took to prepare a great performance.

    Though I wasn't able to listen to most of the performance (as I was preparing for my entrance with my spouse-to-be), what I heard was beautiful, and we received compliments about the music from our guests. We would definitely recommend Austin for anyone looking to have a talented guitarist play at their wedding!
