    Perfect music for our event

    Jarrett was the perfect person for our outdoor vineyard event. He provided the kind of calming beautiful live guitar music we wanted. He was very professional and fit his performance seamlessly into our event. If we ever have another occasion, we will hire him again in a heartbeat.

    Excellent Experience with Laskey

    My husband and I specifically wanted a classical guitarist to play at our ceremony and happy hour as learning how to play guitar was part of our dating story. My dad wanted a quartet, so Jarrett suggested a duet with his colleague violinist Cristiana. The combination was perfect - and they even agreed to learn my parent's wedding song to play during the prelude. Jarrett was easy to communicate with, professional, and played for a few hours outdoors on a hot June day. Highly recommend!

    Wonderful Guitar!

    Jarrett provided wonderful classical guitar during our wedding ceremony and was an ease to work with! He came with a wide-ranging repertoire, making it easy to select songs which did well to set the tone of our day. No trouble at all hearing the music outside, and we each had several guests tell us how much they appreciated having Jarrett’s music as part of the ceremony.

    Jarrett was fantastic

    We really happy with our decision to add Jarrett's services to our ceremony design. He played as our guests were entering and getting seated, and then did four selections during our ceremony. The quality was terrific - he has a good selection, but was also willing to learn one song for us. Highly recommend working with Jarrett.

    Beautiful music and great to work with!

    Jarrett is so great to work with and extremely talented! He played for our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. He was super responsive and so helpful with planning and selecting music. He was also so accommodating and flexible, as we were planning music in a new setting and with multiple soloists. He helped make our ceremony so special and everyone raved about how beautiful the music was! Would highly recommend Jarrett for any wedding or event!

    Loved his music!

    Jarrett was super easy to work with leading up to the wedding, he gave us a variety of songs to choose from, and 1 song that he could learn for us. His rates were reasonable, he was responsive, and we really enjoyed having his music set the mood on the day! His music made everything seem more relaxed, romantic, and unique!

    Great Experience!

    Jarrett was awesome to work with and a wonderful guitar player. He played before and during our ceremony and the classical guitar really helped make our day so special. He was great to work with and made the process of selecting songs so easy! I would definitely recommend him to my friends and family!

    Amazing music

    Jarrett Laskey is a professional artist with beautiful sounds of music that fit perfectly with an outdoor wedding. He made my song down the aisle sound even more beautiful than it already is. He was the perfect touch for my wedding day!

    Jarrett was such a joy to work with!

    Jarrett performed the ceremony music for our wedding, and from the moment I contacted him he was very easy to work with. He was easy to contact and responded promptly to all my emails/calls/texts. Although he is a classical guitarist, his scope of music spans a variety of genres, so he was able to play more recent pop songs on his guitar in such an elegant way. He knew most of the songs I had requested, and he even learned a special song that I wanted to be played before the ceremony! His suggestions for songs were right up my alley, so I could tell he listened carefully to our requests and he knew the vibe we were going for. Most importantly, he also achieved that vibe on our day - all songs went off without a hitch, which added such a special dimension to our wedding day. We and all of our guests thoroughly enjoyed his music. 10/10 would book again!

    Jarrett was awesome!! We recently got married at an outdoor venue and Jarrett's classical playing added the perfect touch! So many guests commented how amazing he was and how elegant it made our ceremony. We also had him play our cocktail hour and he was spectacular!

    Jarrett was SO easy to work with. He responded to all my emails very quickly and even helped me pick all my music selections. He sent me typical selections for different parts of the ceremony as a starting point along with a long list of everything he can play. I would definitely recommend Jarrett to add that perfect elegant touch to your wedding day!

    I hired Jarrett to perform live guitar at my ceremony and cocktail hour for our wedding this past weekend. He adjusted to music to the ceremony so that the music and ceremony were seamless. Prior to the wedding, I emailed him numerous times with questions, and he gave me great recommendations and samples of music so that I could put together a ceremony that fit us. I requested he play traditional Latin guitar (although he plays both classical and standard hits), which he did beautifully. My guests loved it. Hiring him was a great value and I would recommend him to anyone.

    Jarrett did an AMAZING job at our ceremony. I gave him almost no guidance on what to play except for asking him to learn one song for us - only a week and a half before the ceremony! I also told Jarrett the wrong time to show up and realized a week before the ceremony!! So the fact that Jarrett learned the song and played it beautifully during the procession, and was also flexible enough to show up 30 minutes earlier than originally planned makes me want to give him 10 stars. Hire Jarrett for your ceremony - you will not be disappointed!

    Exactly what we were looking for

    Jarrett is wonderful at what he does. He played for our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. He did a great job setting the mood and continuing to play when the ceremony started late.
    He was very responsive, professional, and easy to work with leading up to our event. He has a huge selection of music in his repertoire. I would absolutely hire him again.

    Classical Guitar

    We wanted classical guitar for our ceremony and cocktail hour for our wedding. Jarrett was very responsive to our questions, and thankfully was available for our ceremony. He has an extensive catalogue of music, from classical, to Spanish, to contemporary. I even saw a few showtunes. He arrived early to the ceremony, and was very professional. The music was well played, and well received by our guests. Overall, I recommend Jarrett.

    Beautiful Guitar Music

    Jarrett did an excellent job providing classical guitar music for our wedding ceremony. In the lead up to the wedding, he was responsive and guided us to make sure we gave him the information he needed, and his repertoire had a lot of variety to choose from. Jarrett’s playing was beautiful and really elevated our ceremony. Our pre-ceremony music selection didn’t end up being long enough for the amount of time it took before we got started, and Jarrett filled the extra space with another piece from his repertoire, which we appreciated.

    A Talented Musician!

    I am a wedding coordinator and worked with Jarrett for a wedding on 5/21. Leading up to the wedding, Jarrett was great with communication and very responsive! He was very professional. On the day of the wedding, he was on top of things and worked together with the DJ who provided the ceremony mic to ensure all sound for the ceremony went smoothly. The music he played sounded great! I would definitely recommend Jarrett if you are looking for a musician during your wedding ceremony and cocktail hour, or for any event!

    Would recommend 👍

    Jarrett is a classical guitarist with a wide repertoire (from classical to modern day pop music). He was even able to learn and perform a new song that we had requested rather last minute and it meant a lot to us to hear that song that moment. His music was a lovely touch to our wedding ceremony.

    Lastly, he was also very professional and timely!

    Amazing for our wedding !

    We hired Jarrett for our guitarist for the ceremony and cocktail hour. We loved it ! It was exactly what we were looking for and went with our exact style of wedding. He even learned a new song that we requested for our exit song! We highly recommend him and would absolutely choose him all over again ! 😊 Thank you so much for your amazing service, Jarrett !

    Amazingly talented artist

    Having Jarrett play at my sisters wedding was an
    absolute pleasure. The way Jarrett played the
    guitar really set the perfect atmosphere for the
    evening while celebrating love, family and
    togetherness. Not to mention he was able to
    accept a last minute booking due to our previous
    person having to cancel last minute, and he also
    took the time to learn a special song for the
    processional. You will definitely not be
    disappointed with Jarrett for your event.

    Jarrett is an exceptional musician and extremely professional.

    Jarrett performed for our son's wedding in September 2020. I selected him because of the outstanding quality and sensitivity of his playing from the recordings on his website. We had a very short planning time and we really appreciated his responsiveness. We had hoped for an outside ceremony because of the pandemic, but very last minute we had to change to the inside option. Jarrett was extremely flexible.
    Jarrett has a wonderful range of music in his repertoire and he put together a selection of pieces that truly met all our needs and the mood of the event.
    Our entire family highly recommends Jarrett!

    Jarrett is great!

    Jarrett Laskey is so fabulous, I'm a repeat customer! Most recently, he provided guitar music for my daughter's intimate "Post-COVID" wedding. He provided music for the pre-wedding, the processional and recessional, and for a cocktail reception. He worked with us on the play list and was very responsive, professional, and talented!

    Very easy to work with, very professional

    Jarrett was very easy to work with. We actually just wrote back and forth over email, which made the planning process much easier (one less phone call to schedule/make!). He learned a new song for my processional. His music was great background music, but also did not disturb the guests as they continued their conversation.

    Classical/Spanish/Contemporary from arrival through dinner

    We wanted a specific, solo guitarist for our wedding. One with a strong enough repertoire of spanish/flamenco, along with some acoustic versions of contemporary songs. Jarrett was perfect. We went to see him perform at one of his gigs before hiring him, and knew he would be great.
    We wanted light and airy as people arrived, classical suggestions for the ceremony, spanish guitar for the cocktail hour, and acoustic contemporary for the first half of dinner. He was open to suggestions, provided some of his own, and in the end, we were quite pleased.
    He hit the contemporary songs that we knew would go over well with our parents (Beatles) and nice renditions of Dave Matthews, John Legend, among others. It was a great way to have him continue through dinner, up until the toasts, which allowed us to transition from guitarist to DJ Dave Grimm of Signature Talent.
    Jarrett coincidentally had previously worked with our officiant and DJ so we knew all would flow well.
