    Easy communication and great performance

    Was easily able to set up a performer for a wedding in NYC- was prompt, friendly and did a beautiful job during the ceremony and cocktail hour. Affordable for NYC.

    Fantastic experience and worth the investment! Andrew is super talented!

    We wanted something special for our ceremony and cocktail hour music. Andrew was masterful on classical guitar and his playing was a highlight for the day. Having live music truly sets the tone, do not skimp out and just play music through some speakers if you can help it. Live instruments just added a warmth and depth of sound that made our special day that much more vibrant. Scheduling and working with Chris was super easy. When we were stuck on selecting processional and recessional songs, Andrew had some wonderful suggestions. We wanted something classical rather than contemporary, but also wanted to avoid some pieces we thought were too cliche. Andrew had some wonderful suggestions for compositions that are less common but just as beautiful as the ones we’ve heard at a dozen other weddings. After the ceremony, Andrew continued to fill the air with a mix of classical and classically styled versions of contemporary songs. Almost everyone complimented the guitar music. We would recommend Andrew and Classical Guitar Ceremonies to anyone who wants their special day to sound as beautiful as everything else looks.

    Wonderful experience

    We had such a wonderful experience with Andrew, the guitarist who played our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour, and Chris, the company’s manager. Both were extremely professional and responsive, and Andrew is exceptionally talented and well-prepared! Can’t recommend highly enough!

    Defintiely worth it

    We hired Troy (solo guitarist) to play our ceremony including prelude music. He was on-time, professional, and was open to learning two songs from Final Fantasy that we wanted to walk down the aisle to. Friendly gentleman, too! I felt like his being there really elevated the vibe. 10/10 would recommend again. Also, Chris D. was super responsive and I appreciated it greatly!

    Beautiful music!

    Andrew played our prelude, ceremony, and cocktail hour music and he was absolutely wonderful! The renaissance piece he played for our processional provided the most beautiful atmosphere and I felt like I was in a movie. Chris was super flexible and easy to work with as we made arrangements ahead of the wedding day and I'm so glad I went with them. Cannot recommend enough!

    Wedding at the Vineyard

    I can't say enough great things about this Chris and Troy at Classical Guitar Ceremonies. Communication, explanations, coordination, payments, all were done flawlessly and without issue. Our performer, Troy, was very accommodating and learned specific music for our special day at our request. Everyone who came was impressed with his skill and talent. I highly recommend hiring these professionals!

    Fantastic job Classical Guitar Ceremonies

    We hired Troy to play our wedding. He played phenomenally well. He has a deep repertoire of both popular and classic songs. I cannot recommend Classical Guitar Ceremonies enough.

    Troy was assigned to our wedding and he was extremely professional and flexible with the time change of our ceremony. He even played an impromptu song for the ceremony at the request of the officiants. Highly recommend.

    A Beautifully Simple Guitar for our Wedding!

    Chris Dunn (Manager) and Troy King (Musician) were a pleasure to work with! Chris Dunn was easy to communicate with, professional, timely, and gave us everything we needed to make the easy decision of going with Troy King as our ceremony musician. As for Troy, we loved his arrangement of wedding-appropriate pop music before the ceremony began, as well as how he played our processional and recessional songs. Would recommend Chris and Troy to anybody looking for a single guitar to play ceremony music. Worth every penny!

    excellent service from initial inquiry to performance

    We decided on music for a reception about a week in advance, but they were still able to help us! We hired Troy for classical guitar for a special celebration/cocktail reception. He was excellent! He offers a wide repertoire of classical and popular songs, it really added to the atmosphere. Guests were still able to converse while beautiful music filled the background. Very personable as well. definitely recommend.

    A beautiful enhancement to our special day

    Classical Guitar Ceremonies made our small, intimate wedding a beautiful experience. Chris was extremely communicative and thorough from the beginning of the process, and Andrew's music enhanced our intimate occasion perfectly. Andrew was extremely professional and kind, and his music was an absolute treat. Our guests all commented on how much they enjoyed Andrew's playing and how it complemented the occasion so well. We absolutely loved it and would highly recommend working with Chris and Andrew. They made it so easy, and the results were beautiful! We are looking forward to the next occasion when we can work with Classical Guitar Ceremonies again!

    Silver Anniversary

    Chris Dunn at classicalguitarceremonies.com was very efficient in finding the right guitarist for our event. Everything went very smoothly. The guitarist, Andrew McEvoy, was excellent. Very high level of performance, friendly, and courteous. It was a pleasure.

    Perfect ceremony, reception, and first dance guitar music + easy communication + large repertoire

    My wedding planner Sara Bauleke at Bella Notte recommended Chris Dunn (the owner of Classical Guitar Ceremonies), who helped us choose our guitarist, Andrew McEvoy, for our small garden wedding at Iron Gate in April 2022. We wanted a mix of classical music (prelude) with some religious options to bring in my family (Episcopalian) tradition — we asked for a specific Episcopal hymn for the bride's entrance procession — and then a shift to more modern but still classic romantic tunes for the recessional — This Will Be (An Everlasting Love) — and first dance (Can't Help Falling In Love). Chris helped us with selections and was so easy to communicate with and friendly. You can also tell that Chris and everyone on his team, Andrew included, is VERY experienced with weddings in the DMV. Everything is perfectly smooth and on time/early; they communicate proactively with your wedding planner and know to ask your planner and venue point of contact various questions about the outlet/plug-in situation, acoustics, volume level etc.

    The evening of our wedding, Andrew did an outstanding job — so romantic, moving, intimate, melodic on all the classical pieces and then added a lot of richness and warmth by adding vocals (his offer; we took him up on it!) for our recessional and first dance. His cocktail hour repertoire was absolutely perfect. Lots of familiar wedding tunes that we knew from the 60s - today. Just the right volume. The type of music where you are nodding your head, humming along, smiling... looking over and saying, "wow, the guitarist is REALLY good!" (Our photographer and other vendors also commented on it, not just guests!) But you aren't distracted by the volume and you can keep talking to the other guests. If you are looking for beautiful ceremony or reception music, there is no one better!

    Beautiful music, professional service

    We organized a small outdoor wedding with just a few weeks of planning. Chris and Andrew's responsiveness and ability to just "run with it" based on a few parameters was very helpful. We were appreciative of their suggested set lists, which allowed us to draw on some old favorites and discover new (to us) gems. Andrew played beautifully and went above and beyond to accommodate a traditional Dominican wedding song and a first dance song we wove into the ceremony since we weren't having a reception. His playing really tied the ceremony together and we were very grateful for his presence.

    Fantastic and so easy to work with!

    We had an unfortunate experience where our original guitarist we hired for our wedding was unable to perform for us, and we had only a short period of time to find someone new. Thankfully Chris's team was available and the process couldn't have been easier or more smooth. Chris handled every logistical detail; was super knowledgeable, responsive, and friendly and just made everything so easy for us! They were able to accommodate our special song requests with no problem. Troy was the guitarist we worked with on the day of the wedding, and he was fantastic as well. A great musician and super nice. Everything went so smoothly, I'm so glad we found these guys!

    We had Troy as a solo guitarist for our ceremony and we could not have been happier! His playing was lovely, he was totally on the ball with everything, and he was able to take some last minute requests and incorporate more songs/arrangements into the ceremony. 10/10 very happy with this vendor!

    Knowledgeable, Prompt, and Professional!

    Chris and Kevin, our guitarist, were such a breeze to work with. Kevin totally understood our baroque music preferences and arrived super early for our event—making the ceremony music the one thing to happen on time! (Performed with skill and aplomb, but that almost goes without saying.) We would absolutely recommend to anyone.

    Wonderful Service and Music

    Chris and Andrew were great. From the day we decided on booking Classical Guitar Ceremonies to the ceremony we were very pleased. We had a venue change due to COVID and Chris was very responsive and was able to adjust accordingly. We loved the music that Andrew played and cannot say enough about how much we loved Andrew's music during the cocktail hour. We would highly recommend Classical Guitar Ceremonies!

Everyone who is a part of Classical Guitars goes above and beyond to make sure your day runs as smooth as possible and is better than you could ever imagine. We worked with both Chris and Troy and they blew our expectations out of this world. They are all professional and respectful and listen to exactly what you want.

    Talented Duo!

    My husband and I hired Classical Guitar Ceremonies from Ohio for our Virginia Beach wedding. What a pleasure it was to have Andrew and Violaine provide beautiful music for our big day! Andrew was always prompt to respond to our needs and offered us different styles of songs to be played. They certainly delivered! It was perfect having the two of them playing strings for our intimate wedding of 25 guests.

    Professional, efficient, attentive

    For my entire wedding day experience, Chris was extremely attentive and accurate to the plan and details I requested (music playlist and their times, microphone setup location, wireless microphones to certain speakers, coordination with wedding planner) I greatly appreciated his professionalism and knowledge about acoustics and setup for outdoor and indoor venue locations.
    As for the classical guitar; I, unfortunately, missed hearing this piece since I had to go to a different location of the venue separate from the cocktail hour area. But, my guests comment that it was beautiful and fitting for a great time. Overall, I am very happy to have found Chris's service and if I would do my special day all over again (how I wish!); I would have no qualms about contacting Chris again!

    Simply Perfect!

    Classical Guitar made my wedding day that much more special. From their attention to detail to their amazing talent we were able to have the simple ceremony music we wanted. They also stayed for cocktail hour and played a selection of spanish and latin music that was key to our vision for the big day! Highly recommend!

    Great value!

    Added the perfect touch to our ceremony and reception. The fee was very reasonable for what was provided, and Chris gladly accommodated our song requests.

    Exceptional Service and Musicianship

    I used to work with Chris when I managed an event venue and he was always professional and provided exceptional service - and performances - for our events, so I knew I had to work with him for my own wedding in Virginia. Chris was informative and helpful throughout the entire planning process: he sent traditional music selections to choose from in advance, but was also receptive to other suggestions that would help set the tone for our wedding day. We were planning on having an outdoor ceremony, but it starting raining just before and Chris was so wonderful and flexible with the changes we had to make last-minute. He is an exceptional guitarist and played the most beautiful music for our ceremony and cocktail hour. We couldn't have been happier and highly recommend that you book him for your next wedding or event!

    We were very pleased with Chris and his team. He was so easy to work with and very responsive. The music selection is HUGE - we ended up going with a few Beatles songs throughout our wedding ceremony and received so many compliments from our guests. I would highly recommend Classical Guitar Ceremonies.

    Simply the best! We had used Classical Guitar Ceremonies for our wedding in 2012, and again for my daughter’s wedding in June, 2018. Chris is an extremely accomplished musician. We wanted classical music for the ceremony, lively music for the cocktail hour and light jazz for dinner. His performance and selections were fantastic. He is the ultimate professional and his services were reasonably priced.

    We hired Classical Guitar Wedding Ceremonies after our original ceremony musician bailed on us last minute and it was such an amazing experience that I'm glad the first guy cancelled! Chris was absolutely delightful to work with--prompt, thorough, and thoughtful. After the panic-inducing experience of having someone bail last minute, he made me feel totally calm and confident that his company would do a reliable and outstanding job. He also went above and beyond helping us pick the perfect music for our wedding and getting all of the details right ahead of time. Thank you for everything, Chris!

    On the day of the wedding, Mark was an outstanding musician. He played beautifully and improvised with his seating when it started to rain without missing a beat. He set up the sound system for our officiant, which was incredibly helpful. I am so grateful to Chris and Mark for making our wedding ceremony music so captivating and special.

    We used Andrew as the classical guitarist for our ceremony. He happened to be local, but there was no travel surcharge. When I emailed the company, they were extremely prompt, even though it was a late night and last minute request (1 month). Classical Guitar was also the most professional in terms of presentation, explanation, communication, and everything else.
    I had a very specific line up of songs that I wanted for our ceremony, to include classical songs, traditional hymns, and contemporary popular songs. Andrew gave us several pricing options, and he was able to create exactly what I wanted, without knowing the correct musical term. He also included in our package a thirty-minute prelude, and he allowed my brothers (not professional guitarists by any stretch) to play a song during the ceremony as well. Andrew also offered his services as a sound technician, which we would have used if the venue had required it.

    Andrew arrived over an hour early, set up, and did a wonderful job during the ceremony. The wedding planner made some last-minute adjustments that were not communicated to Andrew, but he was able to roll with it and give us exactly what we wanted.

    Ideally you only get married once, but I would absolutely hire again.

    My wife and I hired Chris to play a selection of music on his classical guitar for our wedding ceremony. Chris was responsive to our questions, and went above and beyond to learn and play several selections at our request. He also provided a wireless mic and lapel mic for our officiant, which was much appreciated. Chris was great to work with, and the music he played for us was beautiful. We would highly recommend Chris to anyone who one love the sound of a classical guitarist on their wedding day

    I worked with Classical Guitar Ceremonies for my wedding ceremony and Chris Dunn could not have been more wonderful. He made the planning and selection part easy. He was very much on top of communication with me and with my venue. He was accommodating, punctual, easy to work with, and his music was beautiful. I had actually planned to hire Chris and was looking at his website when one of my coworkers commented that Chris had played his wedding last year and had been a fantastic addition to their ceremony as well!

    Chris was an absolute pleasure to work with. From our initial meeting through the followup discussions leading to the event date to the amazing job he did during the throughout the actual day of, everything was perfect. What I most enjoyed about working with Chris is that he truly cares about what we wanted and didn't push any set agenda on us.

    The music selections for the ceremony added such an elegant touch to the event that can't be replicated with recorded music. Guests were complimenting us on how this added to their experience. The songs played throughout the cocktail hour also increased the energy of the crowd. The audio equipment Chris used to amplify the music and microphones for the officiant/readers worked flawlessly.

    We're so happy that we chose to hire Chris for our wedding. I would highly recommend him as a wedding guitarist to anyone.

    Chris played our wedding in June. He was wonderful to work with - very easy, very helpful, and very responsive. I wanted a traditional Jewish melody played for our recessional, and he found the music and arrangements with no problem. The music was beautiful and it was great to work with Chris and his team.

    Chris was awesome! He was super responsive from the get-go, and was open to non-traditional ceremony music selections -- even tracking down the arrangement of a song we requested. He played beautifully, and one of my only regrets from my wedding day is not getting to hear him play more. I highly recommend him for anyone considering classical guitar for their wedding.

    Chris was absolutely brilliant. We requested that he play both our ceremony and the cocktail hour. He was very accommodating when we requested a rather obscure music choice for our ceremony and he played it beautifully. Guests were raving about how amazing he sounded and that he created the perfect atmosphere during cocktail hour. I really appreciated his professionalism and quick follow up before and during the event. I would definitely request him again for another fancy event, if I ever happen to throw one.

    Working with Classical Guitar Ceremonies, Inc. for my daughter’s wedding was a great experience. Always immediately responsive, Chris Dunn, the company’s owner and president, was easy to work with and was open to my suggestions for music. The actual guitarist for the wedding was Mark Edwards who played beautifully for the ceremony as well as for the cocktail hour following. Mark arranged a modern piano version of the Bridal March for guitar and threw in a little improvisation as well in the pre-ceremony music. The only snafu was that we had chosen more selections for the ceremony than time allowed, so not all favorites were played and the mothers came in to a pre-ceremony selection. Nonetheless, the music was beautiful and I highly recommend Mark and the company.

    Chris played the classical guitar for our wedding ceremony. It was the perfect touch and set the mood as guests arrived and during the ceremony. He is so incredibly talented! He was very easy to work with, he made the process simple. He is very experienced and I felt comfortable working with him. There was not a dry eye in the room as I walked down the eye to his beautiful playing of "Here Comes the Sun", thank you Chris for adding that special touch to my wedding!

    Mark played the music for our wedding ceremony, and he was great. Chris and Mark were easy to work with, and Chris even acquired and filled out a new piece of music for our ceremony. My husband and I picked epic movie themes for our processional and recessional, and several of our guests commented on how awesome it was to recognize the tunes. Great work. My only nit is that it would have been nice to have been in contact with Mark directly before the wedding, rather than having to arrange everything with Chris. Mark did a great job, but I don't think I spoke to him at all. I feel a little badly about that.

    Chris was great! From the beginning he was so easy to work with and responded very quickly. The day of, I didn't have a single thing to worry about with Chris. He was on time (even early!), set up everything he needed, and played beautifully! Chris was one of the easiest and stress free vendors to work with. I highly recommend him to anyone that is looking for beautiful ceremony music on their big day.

    We worked directly with Chris Dunn who played at our wedding. He quickly responded to every e-mail we sent and was always courteous and professional. He also was able to accommodate some special song requests we made for the cocktail hour. Although we didn't get to hear him play at the cocktail hour (busy taking pictures!) we received many compliments about how incredibly talented Chris was. We were thankfully able to hear that first hand during the wedding ceremony! Would hire again, and highly recommend.

    Chris Dunn played for our ceremony and he was fantastic. Not only was he super easy to work with, adapting to our slightly off-book music requests, but his playing was GORGEOUS. We overheard him playing for the cocktail hour while we were having our photos taken and were continually amazed by how good he was. This guy is definitely worth hiring!

    Andrew played beautifully at my ceremony. He and Chris were extremely responsive throughout the process. Andrew was always available to answer my questions and make music suggestions. Prices are reasonable because you're paying for professionalism. I would recommend using Classical Guitar Wedding Ceremonies for a peace of mind. These guys know what they're doing.

    Chris Dunn playing guitar at our wedding was one of my most favorite things of the day! He was there on time, sounded great (My guests gave a lot of compliments) and was just very easy to deal with. Well worth the money to have him play!! I highly recommend this company to future brides!

    Mark played for our ceremony and cocktail hour and was fabulous. We worked with Chris to arrange everything before hand. He was responsive and helpful and worked with us to select the right pieces. For the ceremony, we had four pieces, two of which were off their list and two were special requests, all were wonderful. I highly recommend them.

    Chris Dunn was our musician for both our ceremony and cocktail hour, and he was absolutely amazing! From our first correspondences to our wedding day, Chris was always very professional, friendly, and responsive to all our questions. We had requested a contemporary rock song to be played during the ceremony, and we were completely blown away by how beautiful his classical guitar arrangement was - it was more lovely than we even imagined. We also really appreciated how Chris accommodated for a last-minute request on the day of the wedding. Unfortunately, we weren't able to hear him play during cocktail hour, but many of our guests told us how much they loved the music. We highly recommend Chris Dunn and Classical Guitar Ceremonies!

    I met Chris Dunn through a work event, and instantly fell in love with his style of guitar. I recommended him to a client and they were also thrilled with his work. When it came time to chose the music for my own wedding, I was so happy to hear that Chris was available to play not only at our wedding ceremony but also at the cocktail reception.

    Chris was great at giving guidance to songs that might work for the feel of our wedding, however he was of course open to suggestions and even learned a version of Edelweiss at my request (a song that brought sentimental meaning to my family). The results were nothing short of perfect, and I will never forget that short walk down the aisle!

    Beyond being incredibly talented, Chris' pricing is more than fair and he is definitely a vendor you can put your trust in. He is quick to reply to emails and worked with both the church and reception venue coordinators to make sure everything was set just right - I didn't have to think twice about anything.

    I would highly recommend Chris Dunn to anyone looking for an amazing classical guitarist, not only for weddings but social and corporate events alike!

    We had Chris Dunn as our ceremony and cocktail hour guitarist. He was very helpful with music selection suggestions, and the process was incredibly easy. Chris was a consummate professional, and his playing is simply lovely. It was a perfect complement to our outdoor ceremony.

    Chris Dunn played at our ceremony and cocktail reception and his music was absolutely beautiful! Chris was always quick to repsond during the booking process. Afterward, he was in contact to confirm the contract process and help us with song suggestions. Chris even offered a custom arrangement of a song that had particular meaning to us! We were so happy with his performance. We received lots of lovely comments from guests about the music (and even a couple about how handsome the guitarist was)! Outstanding vendor, would recommend unreservedly.

    We worked with Chris Dunn and had one of his associates, Kathrin Murray, perform at our wedding ceremony. Everything about the experience with Chris and Kathrin was fantastic! Chris was very responsive to any questions we had leading up to the ceremony. We had somewhat of a hectic schedule on wedding day and Kathrin was able able to handle everything in stride with minimal direction and she performed just as we had hoped. We highly recommend Chris and Kathrin.

    Chris Dunn is a BEAST! Words cannot describe how awesome he is. You just have to hear it yourself. Everyone at our wedding complimented on how awesome Chris was during the ceremony. He was easy to work with, flexible and very very professional and he was every bit of awesome in real life as he is in his recordings/videos. He arrived on-site WELL before the ceremony started and double checked everything with me. Last minute, I realized I had not picked a song for one part of the ceremony. I asked Chris if he could play another song but I did not have one picked out. He went ahead and was able to play a song that he thought would be nice for that particular part of the ceremony and it was. I would definitely recommend him to anyone having a wedding. My sister will be trying to use Chris' services as well for her wedding next April.

    Thanks again for everything, Chris!!

    After listening to several musicians' music samples online, we decided that Classical Guitar Ceremonies would be perfect for the level and style of music that we were looking for. The groom's mom and bride's dad both had played guitar, so this connection was also important for us - and we knew that they also had to be good! Chris Dunn is the person with whom we primarily communicated. He was professional and responsive to our music suggestions and requests. He assigned one of the guitarists associated with his company to our wedding day initially, as he was previously booked at another event. We were completely fine with this, as we both agreed that this guitarist sounded great as well. However, about a week before our wedding day, Chris made a point to personally contact both the bride and the groom to chat with us (on the phone!), as the guitarist initially assigned to our wedding could no longer make it. Chris personally offered his services and asked if we were both okay with this adjustment. It was such a welcome change for someone to be so thoughtful. I wish I had been able to enjoy more of Chris's performance during the ceremony and cocktail hour, but, being the bride, I was often occupied with other things. Hopefully I'll be able to hear him play at another event in the future. I would definitely recommend Chris and Classical Guitar Wedding Ceremonies.

    Troy with Chris Dunn, Classical Guitar Ceremonies Inc. recently played at our wedding ceremony on Sept. 7, 2013 at the Lansdowne Resort. I would absolutely recommend Troy and Chris Dunn to anyone looking for a beautiful classical guitar sound at their wedding. They were so very easy to work and plan with and were very professional, accommodating and flexible. Our guests (and of course us!) loved the classical guitar, it was truly beautiful!

    Classical Guitar Ceremonies provided perfect musicianship for our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. We got Kathrin as our classical guitarist (since our wedding was based in the DC metro area), and she was wonderful. I wish I could've stuck around during cocktail hour to hear more of her work, but everything went off without a hitch. The ceremony music was gorgeous and timed just right! Chris, who owns the company, was very easy to work with, and it was a straight-forward no-stress process the whole way. A perfect job!

    Mark from Chris Dunn Classical Guitar Ceremonies was our guitarist. He did a great job with the music, and even learned a few songs at our request. A number of our guests complimented his performance during our ceremony and cocktail hour. I would highly recommend him and Chris Dunn to others. They were very responsive and easy to work with and a great value!

    When something seems easy it is usually because the person doing it is an expert at their craft. Chris provided the audio backdrop that helped create the ambiance we wanted for our wedding. Unfortunately, we were out of earshot for most of the playing but our guests reported that it was simply lovely.

    Chris worked with us to help us choose our entrance song which for us set the tone of the ceremony. He remained patient and upbeat, even when we had trouble describing what we wanted.

    All in all, soothing, romantic music and a really nice guy as well. Couldn't be more pleased.

    Chris Dunn was great to work with and provided exactly what we wanted for our ceremony music. He is a truly talented musician, and we were so lucky to have been able to work with him for our wedding.

    His song options for our ceremony were extensive, and we were able to choose the perfect music. Chris was also sensitive and understanding about the church limitations about music during the ceremony and was easy to work with.

    Chris was easy to contact and delivered flawless music during our ceremony. If you are looking for unique and beautiful music for your event, do not hesitate to choose Chris. He was absolutely wonderful!

    Chris was fantastic during the entire ceremony music planning process. Even though we did not meet until my wedding day, he was extremely responsive to email and provided great suggestions. Although I did not hear him play during the cocktail hour, the music that he played during the ceremony was incredibly beautiful. He is extremely talented and was able to perfectly set the tone of our wedding day.

    Chris Dunn Classical Guitarist added a very nice touch of class and elegance to our wedding ceremony, cocktail hour, and dinner service. He is highly skilled, flexible with musical selections, and reasonably priced. Our guests raved about his abilities and we were very happy with the level of class it added to our big day. Chris was highly responsive to our needs and worked with us to develop a musical selection for all parts of the day. I would highly recommend Chris Dunn and we felt lucky to be able to have him at our ceremony.

    We were looking a little different from a traditional quartet and found Classical Guitar Ceremonies. All the reviews were spectacular but unfortunately Chris was already booked. Instead, Mark was available and we went ahead and booked him for the ceremony and cocktail hour.

    Communication was great and always very responsive. Chris gave us good suggestions for music. On the day of the wedding, Mark was very punctual and brought all of the equipment he needed. Many of our guests told us afterwards that they really enjoyed the music, especially the latin theme during cocktail hour.

    Mark was definitely one of our easiest vendors to work with and I highly recommend them!

    Chris Dunn played at our outdoor wedding ceremony in August. He arrived early, was dressed handsomely and is a very kind, professional and talented musician. We were moved and delighted to hear him play at our ceremony. We wanted a specific song not in his repertoire for our ceremony exit, so he was able to obtain and adapt the music for our purpose. So many of the guests commented on how lovely the music was, that it was nice to hear some not-so-traditional wedding music selections, and that it was a really nice touch to have a guitarist versus some of the more traditional choices. It made for a casual, but still very elegant feel, which is exactly what Iwe wanted! I also appreciated Chris' responsiveness to my emails and working with me (the control freak) on my music selections. We couldn't have been more pleased and we will happily and highly recommend Chris to anyone.

    I am so pleased that I went with Chris Dunn for my ceremony music. He was extremely easy to work with, even though we only coordinated via email and phone. The music was so beautiful and definitely enhanced my ceremony. My guests also told me they enjoyed the prelude music prior to the ceremony.

    Chris is a gifted guitarist! Everyone raved about how unique and beautiful his music was at our ceremony. Working with him was so seemless--and I don't even think he let a minute pass before responding to my emails! He was very responsive and offered up suggestions to help us pick the exact selections that were right for our ceremony. When someone recommended that I look into hiring a classical guitarist for our ceremony, I wasn't sure what to expect. I was beyond pleased that I did when I found Chris. Thank you so much for making our ceremony as beautiful as it was!

    Chris was not available for the day of my wedding, so his associate, Mark, provided music for my ceremony and cocktail hour. Chris, however, was the point of contact for all arrangements and transactions, and he was very easy to work with. For the ceremony music, Chris sends you a form to complete indicating the selections you want for the processional, recessional, etc. He provides suggestions, which was great, since I was unsure which music I wanted to use. I simply listened to all the suggestions and chose from there. Unfortunately, as much as I tried to listen to Mark's playing on the day of the wedding, I didn't get a chance to hear much since I was taking pictures throughout the cocktail hour. However, my guests all had nothing but good things to say about Mark. They said that his selections were excellent and that he really set the mood for the wedding. I got to speak with him a bit before he left--very nice guy. I highly recommend this company.
