The perfect vibe for our wedding!
We had the pleasure of having John play at our casual wedding reception, and he was absolutely perfect. John was recommended to us by a good friend and for that, we are incredibly grateful to have met him! From the start, planning the music with him was super easy—he was responsive, flexible, and really took the time to understand the vibe we were going for.
His playing was beautiful and added just the right touch to the atmosphere. He’s incredibly talented, and you can tell he genuinely loves what he does. On top of that, he's just a kind and easygoing person, which made the whole experience even better.
Our guests loved the music, and so did we. John played about a dozen cover songs that we chose and personally love. John worked with us to arrange the music in a cohesive way for the reception- it was perfect! We couldn’t have asked for a better fit for our day. We will cherish this memory forever. Thank you so much, John! 5 stars!!! -

John was Incredible!
Not only is John an incredible musician, but he was so wonderful to work with! He is very responsive to every question we had leading up to our wedding, and was very very helpful with all the planning that went into our music - he even offered suggestions about the song selections and music flow, which helped make our special day everything we wanted it to be. John is also really flexible, and allowed us to customize everything, including learning our song for our first dance, which made it really special!
Oh and did I mention his music was INCREDIBLE! I could have sat just listening to it all night, all of our guests have been talking about the music as well. John is a very talented musician.
Can't recommend enough! -

Proffesional excellence
John was incredible from start to finish! He was proffesional, caring and flexible, and delivered the most extradorinary music on the day of our wedding. Every guest commented on how wonderful the songs were during the ceremony and cocktail hour! John learned a song for us and sang it with my best friend, and it made my wedding so memorable...simply incredible! When it was time for dancing and fun, he was the DJ and got the whole crowd moving. -

I Wish I Could Give More Stars!
This man is a treasure. I was fortunate enough to discover John while searching online for a musician to play some background music while proposing to my then girlfriend, Chrissy. John showed up in a suit on a cold December day. He added an extra level of class and romance that I'm convinced no other musician could provide. The video that John took of the event (without us even asking for it) was a huge hit among our family and friends.
As a surprise to us, our parents then had John play at our Engagement party one year later. The party was in Queens, NY and John traveled over 2 hours in traffic to be there and play the full event without taking a single break. Everyone loved his music choices and every guest had to comment about him after the party was over.
Of course, we had to have John play at our Wedding. Despite the event being pushed out over a year due to COVID, John made sure to stay in touch the entire time to make sure he still had all the up to date information. I honestly can't even count how many curve balls we threw at him and how many times we changed our set list on him throughout the months leading up to the event. Not once did John say no. Not once did John question us. Whatever we wanted, John was happy to make it work. John even created his own rendition of a song that Chrissy wanted to walk down the aisle to. It was so beautiful we cried the first time we listened to it together.
John is hands down one of the most kindhearted, talented, and detail oriented people I have ever known. If you make one decision for your wedding, let it be to hire John. You will not be disappointed. -

The best!
Incredibly talented, fantastic voice, easy to work with, great energy, amazing arrangements and originals. We originally asked John to play for our wedding but it was postponed due to covid. We waited a while and had a huge birthday bash for our one year old instead. John was so accommodating and made the environment at the party warm, calm, cozy and fun. I’m a musician and music teacher and most of the party goers were as well. Everyone was impressed by his musicianship. I would ask him to play again tomorrow if I could!!! If you are looking for outstanding musicianship and great personality for your event, John is perfect. -

Made our day perfect!
John played throughout our whole wedding and was absolutely fantastic! The guests loved him and he perfectly set the mood for each moment. He was very flexible and easy to work with. He helped us plan out the music and when different types of music should be played. His input really put us at ease. He answered all of our questions and was very professional. We would definitely recommend him. -

Wedding singer
We booked John to play at our wedding (originally planned for August 2020, but we ended up moving it due to COVID).
Throughout the planning process, John was great to work with and made everything as simple and stress free as possible! And, of course, he was amazing the day of the wedding as well! We received comments from friends and family that the music was perfect. John really added something special to the day and we couldn’t have imagined anything/ anyone better! -

John was magnificent. He helped me plan everything so quickly and professionally and then make it all fresh and spontaneous - you could never do better than this guy! I was 3500 miles away and it all worked perfectly! -

Top Notch Professional; Rave Reviews
John was outstanding.
Our daughter's wedding was scheduled for Charleston in March but postponed due to Covid. After a few months to regroup, the bride and groom decided to hold a small ceremony with immediate family in Connecticut. In less than a month, we had to pull everything together. We were very fortunate to find a great venue in the Mayflower Inn, but our best find was singer/musician, John Ciambriello. Actually, we were very fortunate that John happened to be available on our wedding Sunday. John performed before the ceremony, during cocktail hour, and as a backdrop to dinner. If he wasn't singing, John was playing his guitar. In a word, John was terrific. We could not have been happier. John has a beautiful, easy to listen to voice, and is also an accomplished guitarist. He has a broad repertoire of songs to choose, from top cover tunes to religious songs. John listened to what we wanted, and he also made recommendations about different songs that might work throughout the wedding. In fact, John actually played a song to my daughter on a conference call before the wedding, and she then decided to walk down the aisle to it. In addition to musical ability, John was highly professional, and very easy to work with. We could not have been happier! -

Highlight of the proposal, engagement party, and future wedding - HIghly Recommend
We are so impressed with John that we decided to share our experiences.
Our son had first mentioned John to us when he was planning to propose to his girlfriend in December, 2018. He arranged for a singer/guitarist, found online, to provide background music as he "popped the question". The singer was John, who not only performed, but took the time to record and edit a beautiful video of the special occasion. Among the various selections, he also performed, "Grow Old With You", which will be their wedding song. Our son raved how fortunate he was to have discovered John and how his attention to detail ensured that it was a wonderful, personalized moment for him and his new fiance.
A few weeks later both families watched John perform at a restaurant in Milford, CT. His singing and guitar playing were amazing. It was evident how passionate he is about his music. Afterwards, he sat and spoke with us and we were all struck by his sincerity and kindness.
As the families started planning an engagement party, we knew that John must be part of it. We were delighted when John agreed to travel to Long Island to take part as he said in "the next step of their story." John is not only a tremendous talent, but a true professional, who is a joy to work with. He kept in touch each step of the way. Our son and future daughter-in-law were absolutely thrilled when they walked in and found John standing there to greet them. Their expressions were priceless. We left the music selection to John and, of course, he arranged for the perfect moment for them to dance to "Grow Old With You." Our guests agreed that his performance was the highlight of the evening.
We cannot wait to listen to John perform at the upcoming wedding in August. We know he will ensure that their special day will be an unforgettable event. -

Some of the best money we spent for our wedding. Amazing musician!
We first saw John play at another friends' wedding and I knew we HAD to have him at ours. John is so incredibly talented at singing and playing guitar and we just loved having him at our wedding. John was 100% my favorite vendor to work with because he is so sweet and worked so hard to make our wedding music everything we wanted it to be. We had John play pre-ceremony, cocktail hour, and our first dance song. My (then) fiance and I emailed John endlessly leading up to the wedding because we are perfectionists, and John was so accommodating. I felt like he was on our team, working with us so closely to make everything go just right. He never made us feel like we were "just another wedding" that he was playing at, he ACTUALLY cared. The day of the wedding, John played outside on the deck for cocktail hour even though it was the hottest day of the year, because that is what I wanted, and he did it without hesitation (Sorry John! Thanks!) John and I also collaborated on trying to surprise my husband with having him play our first dance song, and even though it didn't end up being a surprise, I couldn't believe the lengths that John went to working on it with me. He learned our song quickly and even sent me two different recordings of it to pick which version I liked best. Our first dance sounded so beautiful and was so romantic with John playing it live. I literally couldn't recommend John more. If you are looking for an amazing acoustic guitar player and an even more amazing vendor to work with, John is the one. -

A Must Have Vendor
John was the perfect addition to our day. The music during the ceremony create a perfect memory that will last with my husband and I forever. He played music under our vows that ensured not a dry eye left in the crowd. The cocktail hour music was perfect, and there was a seamless flow from ceremony to cocktail hour. He then ended with the PERFECT cover of Steady As We Go by DMB. He worked tirelessly to perfect the song, sent us a mp3 copy a few weeks before the wedding, AND performed it live at gig for us prior the wedding. He was super responsive and worked so well with our DJ to ensure a easy transition from live performer to DJ. Worth every penny and more! Thank you John! -

An amazing personal touch to the details of our wedding day!
My husband and I hired John for our ceremony and cocktail hour because we wanted a special touch to our wedding day. From the initial communication and leading up to the wedding day, John was tremendously responsive and caring, with attention to details that we hadn't even thought about! He is not only profoundly talented, professional and experienced with weddings, he is very kind-natured and made me feel completely at ease as the big day approached. My husband and I live locally and were able to visit him during his live shows a few months before the wedding. We already knew he was an amazing performer from his website samples, but were blown away once again in person.
During the ceremony, he did an amazing job with our specially selected entrance song and was easily able to improvise for timing of walking down the aisle. During cocktail hour I didn't have any specific selections for music and gave him the freedom to choose his own line-up. He played such a great/appropriate song list for the atmosphere and all of the wedding guests commented on how much they loved him.
I wish I could re-live this day everyday and I'm so grateful to John for making it so special. -

Dreams do come true!
I was looking for a unique way to class-up our wedding cocktail hour. John was recommended to me by our DJ so I checked out his website and instantly knew THIS WAS IT! I contacted John right away and he responded very quickly with all the information we needed. We had booked him over a year in advance but John kept in contact with us throughout that whole year. John is kind, mindful, professional and extremely talented! John and my DJ worked together to arrange everything for the day-of festivities and it all went so smoothly. John even sang for our first dance song; he has a huge selection of songs that he is constantly updating. The value alone makes is outstanding! John made all my dreams come true and our guests were raving about his performance. You will have wonderful experience with John, I cannot say enough about how much we enjoyed working with him! -

John Ciambriello is AWESOME!
John is AWESOME! I first heard him sing at a friends wedding and just loved his voice, the gentle feel he gave to the ceremony and the variety of songs he offers. John is extremely friendly, easy to work with and very professional. He was always available to answer my questions, give advice and make sure that every detail of our ceremony was perfect. You can tell that he truly cares about his clients and ensuring their wedding day is perfect. 7 months after my wedding, my guests are still talking about him! My only regret is not booking him for my cocktail hour as well. If you're looking for a musician, John is the best choice! Thank you for making our wedding day so special John! -

Overall, John elevated our wedding!
John was recommended to us from a friend. From start to finish, John was a pleasure to work with and he really delivered on our special day. All of our guests were impressed by his performance for the ceremony and the cocktail hour. He was very helpful in directly working with our venue and really made it easy for us to just enjoy our wedding day. He provides 100% of his equipment and only needs the right outlets.
I got the impression that John is flexible in any situation. If the couple wants very specific music played, he will comply. If you have more of an idea, but not a specific set (like us during the cocktail hour), he'll do a great job putting together a set list. -

John is amazingly talented and just amazing. Through every step of the process, he made sure that we had everything we needed in order to have a smooth and memorable wedding day. John was such an integral part the entire day. We had him play for the ceremony, cocktail hour and he also did a DJ Alternative for the rest of the night. He is so talented on all accounts and went way beyond our expectations. I really can't say enough. Everyone at the wedding absolutely loved him. I highly recommend having him play at your wedding! -

John, is an amazing singer, but an even better person. I knew I needed him at my wedding, when I saw him at someone else's. I inquired about John's services before i even had a date or venue! That's how good he is!! After my date and venue were booked, John was the next vendor I booked. He was such a pleasure to work with. He learned 2 songs for our wedding. He learned Canon in D on the guitar and learned to sing Perfect by Ed Sheeran which was our first dance. Every guest at our wedding thought having John during our ceremony, all of cocktail hour and to sing our first dance was absolutely DREAMY. And it was. Everything felt like a dream and i would recommend John to anyone who wants to be " different", add a special touch, make your day feel like a dream/ movie not only for you....but for your guests as well. John- you are AMAZING! We were blessed to have you be a part of our day. Thank you x a million! :) -

John Ciambriello recently performed at our daughter’s wedding. He was selected for his guitar skills and beautiful singing voice. He proved to be a great choice and delivered with excellence on both these fronts. We would have been more than satisfied if his musical contribution was all he delivered. We also had the misfortune of having the Justice of the Peace stuck in traffic resulting in a one hour late arrival. Without hesitation and with a generous smile, John graciously stepped forward and entertained our guests for the entire unplanned hour. He helped to save the day! We could not offer an endorsement or recommendation adequately describing how talented and compassionate John is. Be assured he is a pleasure to work with, a talented musician and singer and will deliver beyond your expectations. -

If you are considering booking a live musician for your wedding, do yourself a favor and book John. His professionalism and talent was beyond what we could have ever expected from any vendor. We had emailed back and forth for over a year in regards to our ceremony music, cocktail hour, and first dance song...and it was easy to see that he goes the extra mile to make sure everything is executed perfectly. He even took the time to learn two new songs for us, and performed them both beautifully. Due to a bit of traffic, our ceremony started a bit later than expected, and John was kind enough to go above and beyond and kept our guests entertained during the wait. Thank you!!! - Justin & Tessa -

John sang and played guitar at our wedding ceremony. I am SO SO HAPPY that we chose John to be part of our special day. We really wanted to incorporate live music at our wedding since our wedding reception would only allow a DJ, so having John sing and play guitar at our ceremony was the perfect choice! His music was so beautiful and I am so happy that we decided to hire him. Since our wedding was mixed religions, I wasn't sure what type of music would be appropriate to play, but John came up with numerous suggestions for us and sent us clips of his version of many of the songs so we could pick out which songs we liked best. He is a true professional - always got back to me quickly with any questions I had. There were also some songs we liked that had some lyrics that didn't quite go with a "wedding theme" and John was creative and was able to replace some of the lyrics with more appropriate words. I heard endless compliments on how awesome his voice was throughout the evening. The songs will always be something I remember walking down seeing my husband for the first time. John's voice is so so beautiful and everything went as smooth as I could ask for! You will not regret hiring John for your wedding - he made it stress free and fun! Thank you so so much!! -

We actually saw John at a bridal expo and we spent a lot of our time listening to him and were so impressed. We even went to listen to him play again before our wedding because we enjoyed him so much! He was such a great addition to our cocktail hour and provided exactly the vibe we wanted! We made sure our photos were done before cocktail hour so that we could enjoy him with our guests. He is so sweet, easy to work with and talented! We would highly recommend him and are so happy we chose to have him! -

What an amazing guy! John is the absolute sweetest. While first planning our wedding we were debating between a band or a DJ and decided it would be nice to combine the two and have an acoustic guitarist for cocktail hour, and a DJ for the rest of the night. Enter John. He was a dream to work with! Extremely friendly, professional and responsive to all communication. My husband and I had a unique way of meeting - having first met on a Friday at a bar, left and didn’t exchange numbers and then ran into each other backstage two nights later at a Foster the People concert in Central Park. We wanted a FTP song for our first dance, but none of their songs were appropriate, except one, with nice lyrics but a fast beat. John recorded himself singing a slower version of the song, and he sang it live for our first dance. We truly appreciated all of his work that went into making our first dance as unique and romantic as we had envisioned. After our dance was over, John motioned to my husband and he gave him the guitar pick he had just used for the dance. I thought this was the sweetest touch and we just recently framed it with the lyrics of our song in the back. I can’t recommend John enough. He was amazing to work with, provided the laid back vibe we wanted for our cocktail hour, and helped create the perfect first dance for us. Thank you, John! -

Having John at our daughter's wedding was the "icing on the cake". He is a talented singer and musician. Many of our guests told us how much they enjoyed his presence before the ceremony and at cocktail hour. His fee was money well spent! -

Highly recommend! John did an amazing job. He was a pleasure to work with throughout the entire process and all of our guests loved. We had a cellist for the ceremony, John for the cocktail hour, entrance & dinner and then a dj for the rest of the reception and John worked extremely well with the dj to make sure everything ran smoothly. In the chaos of wedding planning, it was such a relief to have someone who was so accommodating, professional and talented. -

John sang at our ceremony and cocktail hour at the Bee and Thistle Inn. He did an amazing job and was so perfect for our quiet garden wedding. All of our guests continue to rave about his performance. My sister and her fiancé are even hoping to have him play at their wedding next year and I look forward to hearing him perform again! -

I met John about a year before our wedding while he was performing a local show at a restaurant in town. As a huge fan of all acoustic music, I was immediately mesmerized by his sound. His selection that he sang was a great mix of many generations. Newly engaged, I introduced myself and jokingly said I was going to him instead of a DJ at my wedding. To be able to fully enjoy his talents, I actually hired him to perform at our rehearsal dinner. He was a perfect addition to the nigh - very professional, on-time, took requests from our guests and really made it feel like a cozy private concert. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for music for their wedding that is truly one-of-a-kind. -

John was incredible. His beautiful voice captured the audience and made for a beautiful ceremony and cocktail hour. John always went the extra mile for us, and I could not have asked for a better person to cover this portion of the wedding on our special day. I have nothing but great things to say about John. -

I can't say enough about how wonderful john was during the entire process! He has a great repetoire to choose from and even learned a special song that I sang to my husband as I walked down the aisle. It was a crazy idea and I almost chickened out but john was so supportive and encouraging that I decided to go through with it. The look on my husbands face at the end of the aisle was priceless and I am so grateful that john was able to make that happen. It was wonderfully easy to get in contact with john whenever I had questions or concerns, so the music was one thing I never had to stress about. The price was unbeatable and the quality of what john does really helped make the day so special for us and all of our guests! I would HIGHLY recommend john for anyone looking for a great live wedding musician!! -

When my (now) husband and I were looking for someone to provide music for our wedding, we both agreed John Ciambriello would be at the top of our list. Luckily, he was available for our wedding date. He was very professional and time oriented; understanding that planning a wedding can be quite stressful, but careful to keep us on track so we didn't miss anything. His attention to detail, as well as his ability to provide suggestions for song selections and time formatting, let me know right away that we were in good hands. We booked him to play instrumentals before the wedding ceremony, during the transition to the reception tent and dinner music, and then to DJ later in the evening. Our wedding was a blast and the music selected was completely appropriate for our gathering. We got a lot of compliments on him the day of the wedding and we've been hearing them still, almost two months later. The fact that John is an outstanding musician and entertainer is simply icing on the cake! -

John is simply amazing!!! I would rate more than 5 stars if I was able. We can not thank him enough for all that he did to help make our wedding day so special. He performed at both the ceremony and cocktail hour (and half) then transitioned us into dinner. His performance made the entire event. Our guests have not stopped talking about it. John has the most lovely voice and his acoustic style is perfection. Thank you John! -

John was a breeze to work with and made our ceremony music both beautiful and wonderfully personal. I couldn't have asked for anything more! His style gave the ceremony a bit of a modern touch, even though I asked him to play my favorite (very traditional0 hymn as I walked down the aisle. He timed the song perfectly so the first verse ended right when I took my husbands hand at the end of the aisle and the moment it created completely took my breath away. I highly recommend booking John for your ceremony and/or cocktail hour music. You and your guests will be so glad you did! -

John is a great Musician who performs extremely well. He performed at my church service and reception. He is a strong communicator with attention to detail. He guided us well to ensure his services satisfied our needs. John is very professional and flexible and makes song selection and timing of his services "stress free". Since my wedding I have already recommended John to family and friends. -

Your search is over - John is pleasure to know and a wonderfully multifaceted talent. John performed during our ceremony.

Working with John was fantastic! He was flexible, professional, and easy to work with. He played songs we had requested of him and also came up with his own set list which was creative and which the whole crowd enjoyed! He's a great entertainer and knows how to work a crowd which was something we really wanted! I would highly recommend John for your wedding or next event! -

John graciously agreed to participate in a fundraising concert I put together this past summer. He co-ordinated with the other band that was playing that night, helped promote the event on social media, and was super professional and easy going the whole time. Everyone who came loved his music, which was a mix of covers and original songs. I still have people comment on how great he was, even months later. I describe his music as a mix of Jack Johnson, Jason Mraz, and John Mayer. Fun, easy going music, with personality and a bit of humor thrown in now and again. I highly recommend him for weddings (I booked him for mine this coming April!) or any other event. -

John is one of the most talented singer/songwriters that I've ever had the privilege to know personally! He's able to immediately capture the attention of a crowd & give them one heck of a show. If you're looking for the best music entertainment for a wedding (or any other occasion), just stop your search right here, & hire John Ciambriello! Cuz he is truly the best! -

John Ciambrello played his guitar and sang at my mothers memorial service. His music was beautiful, spiritual and added so much to the church service. He continued to bring a sense of peace and acceptance throughout her celebration of life luncheon. I have enjoyed his talents in a number of venues and admire him immensely as both a performer and wonderful human being. His talent for both writing and performing are unending. He has brought both comfort and joy to all.

Absolute Perfection!!! I would give John TEN stars if possible! I am not sure I can put into words how truly amazing John is...and I am a word person! My husband and I planned our wedding in 2 months, not leaving much time to search for entertainment. We knew exactly what we wanted though and passed up quite a few options because the one thing I was a little Bridezilla about was this. And if I couldn't have exactly what I wanted...I didn't want anything. We accidentally stumbled upon John the week before our wedding. I couldn't believe my ears, the instant John started to warm up his vocals. HE was exactly what I had been looking for. I NEEDED him to play at my wedding. I didn't care that it was 8 days away and that he was probably booked. I sent my husband over first but I couldn't help myself. I introduced myself in the most honest way I knew how, "Hi, this may sound strange but I have been searching for you for a long time." Oddly enough John didn't seem scared! He suggested we email him regarding our plans and I did. After some correspondence and with great luck (and a super understanding boss), John was able to free himself for our special day. My world was perfect now and I was the happiest bride to be! Everyone who attended our wedding had heard me talk about this incredible musician for a whole week and had no idea why I was as happy as I was until they were all able to witness his magic for themselves. My husband had given me a complete fairy tale wedding that was more perfect than I could have ever dreamed..but there was not a person, young or old, that was not completely WOW'd by John. He completed my fairy tale! Our guests were in awe of him and spent most of the night with smiles on their faces listening to him sing. I would 1,000% suggest using him for any occasion! He creates an amazing atmosphere without any effort, is extremely easy to work with, communicates well and is a gem! Do not hesitate if you are even thinking about hiring him. WE LOVE JOHN! -

I can't say enough about John. He recently played and sang at our garden wedding. He posessed all the qualities we were looking for. His professionalism, flexibility, communication style and of course his music exceeded our anticipation. Right from the beginning, John was very willing to listen to our needs and ideas and gave his expert opinions without intrusion or adversity. His large repetoire of music choices made it easy for us to choose the most appropriate and enjoyable music piece for each part of our wedding.
The ultimate compliment came from our many guests who came up to me and John too, to let us know how much they enjoyed his music and how it made the day so much fun. -

I had so many people comment on what a great atmosphere he set at our cocktail hour with his beautiful remarkable talent and laid back acoustic music.
He also provided beautiful, romantic moments at my ceremony, including playing a special song at my request that brought tears to many people’s eyes :)
John was the epitome of professionalism, being one of the first there to setup, but never intrusive or in the way. I highly recommend using him for your event, he is worth every penny.

John performed at my daughter's wedding on Sunday August 24, 2014. He was absolutely wonderful!!!! His singing and guitar playing was simply outstanding and made her day so very special. John went above and beyond what was expected (entertaining the guests for over an hour due to makeup and hair taking a bit longer than expected). I would highly recommend him for any occasion. He will light up your festivities for certain!!!!!
