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!Andrew played our prelude, ceremony, and cocktail hour music and he was absolutely wonderful!

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!I can't say enough great things about this Chris and Troy at Classical Guitar Ceremonies.

I would HIGHLY recommend Classic Guitar. We gave him a tough song to learn and he absolutely nailed it. Stop your searching and use him!I would HIGHLY recommend Classic Guitar. We gave him a tough song to learn and he absolutely nailed it. Stop your searching and use him! -

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...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.

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! -

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 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.

Fantastic guitar player!
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!We had Troy as a solo guitarist for our ceremony and we could not have been happier!

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.Chris and Kevin, our guitarist, were such a breeze to work with.

Chris was fantastic! He provided the mic for our officiant, played such a unique combination of songs and absolutely crushed “God Only Knows” when my Dad and I walked down the aisle.

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.My husband and I hired Classical Guitar Ceremonies from Ohio for our Virginia Beach wedding.

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!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.

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!

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.
