    Wonderful Guitarist!

    We booked Jarrett for our wedding ceremony at the Tabard Inn in DC. He was wonderful! So easy to work with and learned a new song for our processional, which we so appreciated. Highly recommend!

    A Wonderful Wedding Accompaniment

    We contacted Jarrett to play at our wedding. Jarrett played during our ceremony and set a wonderful tone during the dinner hour. Jarrett was flexible and punctual, and we appreciated his willingness to play some special requests during our processional.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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 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!

    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.

    Amazing musician

    Jarrett was great to work with! Very responsive and accommodating. We were able to meet before the wedding to go over the song list and how the ceremony would take place. He plays beautifully and everyone enjoyed listening to his music before the ceremony took place. He came highly recommended, and I definitely highly recommend him.

    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 performed for our wedding in June. He was amazing! Professional, personal, reliable, and a true artist at this craft. The music he played for the pre-ceremony, ceremony, and cocktail hour was perfect! We are so grateful to have found and hired him. Will definitely seek his services out again. Thanks Jarrett for making our day so special with your beautiful music.

    We booked Jarrett Laskey pretty last minute and it was the best decision. He was super responsive, arrived on time, and played the music we had discussed. His pricing is very competitive - and he's willing to learn a song for you! I'm only sorry I never officially got a chance to meet him and thank him in person just because the day was so crazy. I would 100% recommend him to my friends. Thanks Jarrett!

    We are so glad we hired Jarrett to play at our wedding! He is responsive, easy to work with, and a very talented musician. Many of our guests commented on how well he played and how much they enjoyed listening to him. Jarrett knew all of the music we asked him to play and he really enhanced our ceremony and cocktail hour. His prices are very reasonable--especially considering the wonderful quality of service and musicianship!

    Jarrett played guitar at mine and my husband's wedding ceremony. Jarrett was so easy to work with and very responsive throughout the entire process, even up until the day before when I was still making changes to our schedule. He plays wonderfully and our guests loved him. Jarrett had previously played at our venue which was very helpful to know that he had been in the space before since it was kind of small. We highly recommend him and his talents.

    Music is very important to our family. Jarrett played a lush and lovely selection of songs for our daughter's wedding this past October. He is an extremely accomplished and diverse musician - played both classical and contemporary pieces. His song list is huge - and now it also includes Moon River, which he graciously and quickly learned for the ceremony. He was able to amplify his music for the outdoor event and the level was just perfect. Jarrett is a true professional, dressed impeccably for the occasion, was discreet in his comings and goings, and added another sense of beauty and peace to their wedding. What a truly wonderful guitarist and classy performer.

    Jarrett played classical and contemporary guitar at our daughter's wedding cocktail hour. He was so easy to work with, his selections were just what we wanted and had a very reasonable fee. I'd hire him again in a minute!

    Jarrett Laskey was the musician for my wedding on 9/9/17 and he was perfect. Jarrett is very straightforward about what to expect and what he will do and working with him is very easy. Thing about Jarrett that is most special is that he was never something for me to worry about. Jarrett arrived on time and presents himself well. He played as my guests arrived, for the ceremony, and for a cocktail hour after the ceremony. He is very sensitive to what volume is appropriate and what songs are a good choice, but has a list of music you can choose from as well. With all of the vendors you will have on your wedding day, you owe it to yourself to make an easy decision to have Jarrett Laskey be your musician.

    We booked Jarrett for our wedding and wedding reception. It was late notice (within 3 weeks of the wedding), but Jarrett was very accommodating and able to work with us. He learned new music to accommodate the preferences of our families and even took requests during the reception. He is an excellent guitarist and was very punctual and professional throughout the service and reception. I would highly recommend him for classical guitar music.

    We hired Jarrett to play during the cocktail hour for my daughter’s wedding on Nov 12, 2016. Jarrett was very easy to work with, very responsive to emails. His music is beautiful and I even had some guests seek me out to comment on his playing. Our cocktail hour was in a barn and the temperature was quite chilly. Jarrett was extremely professional and played continuously in spite of the coldness. I have kept his contact information should I ever need to use him again and I would highly recommend him to others!!

    Jarrett is completely professional, great to work with and very talented! We had him play the ceremony music and during cocktail hour. My guests stated that he added a nice touch to our winery wedding. He even learned two new songs for us, including the Game of Thrones theme :) We're happy we found him!

    Jarrett recently performed for our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour and was fantastic! He is very professional and easy to work with. He had a vast music selection and my husband and I were very pleased with his performance as were our guests. He rates are very reasonable and his presence added something unique and special to our day. We highly recommend him.

    Jarrett played our wedding at the Spanish Steps in Kalorama. We couldn't be happier with the results. Selecting music with his help was as easy as pie, and he kept us very well informed of what to expect and what would work. We couldn't be happier with our decision to hire Jarrett, and we know our guests loved it.

    We worked with Jarrett at our April 2 wedding and he could not have been more professional. He played our ceremony and kept the guest entertained with a nice blend of old wedding classics as well as some contemporary music mixed in. We also had a song performed during our ceremony that Jarrett quickly learned and coordinated with the singer. We would like to thank Jarrett and recommend him to anyone looking for a classical guitar at their ceremony.

    Jarrett provided the cocktail hour music for our wedding. Until this day we still receive compliments on how unique and beautiful jarretts performance was. It set the mood to a great start to our reception. He is very wonderful to work with, arrived on time according to our schedule and performed exactly how and what we discussed. You can't go wrong with him!

    Jarrett and I played together in our High Schools guitar ensemble, so I already new that he was a great guitarist. 20 years later I was happy to run into Jarrett while he was performing at my friends wedding. When I got engaged and the wedding planning started my finance assigned me the task of the securing the ceremony and cocktail hour music. As a guitarist myself I thought it would be nice to have guitar music for our ceremony. The first person I thought of was Jarrett, it was a no-brainer. Jarrett was able to play the exact song my wife wanted while she was walked down the isle and he did a great job mixing classical and modern music together for the cocktail hour. Jarrett helped make our special day a success.

    Jarrett was great to work with! We hired him for ceremony and cocktail hour, and the music was a beautiful accent to the overall feel of the day. He provided a long list of ceremony song options and was accommodating when we asked him to learn an additional song for me to walk down the aisle to. Jarrett responded quickly and was very professional in all of our interactions, and I would recommend him to anyone!

    Jarrett was fantastic to work with. I was not in the area and had to plan my wedding from a distance. However, Jarrett made himself readily available through email and even offered to meet with me at my convenience when I was in the area. He was great with suggestions and his music was beautiful. He greatly contributed to making my wedding ceremony perfect! He also learned a new song that I asked him about for when I walked down the aisle. The song was personal to my fiance and I and was a great touch. Would definitely recommend!!!

    We had a small garden wedding followed by a luncheon. We hired Jarrett for both and he did a wonderful job. He emailed us an extensive list of things he could play and was willing to learn new pieces with time. He was professional and brought everything he needed and the music was beautiful. He was quick to respond to emails. We were very happy with Jarrett and would recommend him.

    Jarrett was a great find! We love classical and Latin guitar, which is his specialty. When we inquired with him about playing at our wedding, he was very responsive and sent us an extensive list of songs he would be able to play. What's more, he offered to learn a new song, if given enough lead time. But we found the perfect pieces for our ceremony in his existing repertoire. He also played for our guests before the ceremony. Jarrett arrived on time and did everything he promised, and contributed a great deal to making our special day feel more magical and lovely!

    Jarrett was fantastic! He played guitar while guests arrived, our processionals, recessional, and during the cocktail hour. He learned an acoustic version of the song All of Me by John Legend that I used as my processional and I couldn't have been happier. We highly recommend!!

    Jarrett could not have been more accommodating and professional. We had an outdoor wedding, and Jarrett's playing was beautiful, and did not distract, but only added to the ambience of our outdoor setting. Jarrett was willing to learn and play whatever music we wanted. We asked for traditional pieces, which were chosen by Jarrett, and perfect for our wedding. Thank you again Jarrett for a perfect evening of music!

    My experience with Jarrett was fantastic. My mother and I booked a performance as a gift to my sister and her new husband at their wedding reception. It added just that perfect touch to have live music during the cocktail hour. Although at times conversation was pretty loud, several people told me how much they liked listening to the music. We requested mainly classical guitar and it was perfect. Jarrett was also very easy/pleasant to work with and consistently responsive to questions and also flexible with timing of his performance.

    Jarrett was great to work with, and he even picked up a new song to play for the recessional! We had a wedding of 50 people in a garden, and having Jarrett strumming his guitar before and after the ceremony was just perfect. I'd recommend working with him many times over!

    Jarrett was wonderful to work with. After listening to YouTube clips of the songs on his list, we decided we wanted a mix of music...something a little traditional and something a little contemporary. We ultimately selected Ravel's Bolero for the processional, the Glasgow Love Theme from "Love Actually" for the bridal procession, and "Here Comes the Sun" for the recessional (fortunately it didn't rain on the day of, or this might have been a bit out of place). Anyways, Jarrett was very patient working with me and my father (who helped with a lot of the planning) and on the day of the ceremony music was perfect. He also stayed for the cocktail hour and played a selection of songs and it really did give the event a relaxed but elegant feel that I was hoping for. I would definitely recommend Jarrett to anyone looking for a guitarist at their event.

    Jarrett was so easy to work with! He always responded to my emails right away and was very flexible. He played for an hour for our ceremony (30 minutes prior while guests arrived). We sent him a list of songs we wanted him to play and it was no issue at all, he told us he would learn one of them by the time of the wedding and he did!

    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!

    Jarrett did an amazing job! We had a small wedding in a quaint country church and wanted something intimate for our ceremony music. Jarrett was timely, professional, and a pleasure to work with. He came to the ceremony dressed more than appropriately. His music is lovely! Classical and romantic.
    I would definitely recommend him to a friend and if I ever have the need for a musical vendor again, Jarrett will be the first person I call!

    Mr. Laskey did an amazing job at our wedding at Great Falls National Park! After drastically changing my wedding plans & moving up the date, I had only three weeks to pull my wedding together. Mr. Laskey dealt with the short notice beautifully! He always answered my emails promptly, cheerfully answered all of my questions, and very kindly & patiently helped whenever I'd get confused or stressed out.
    On the day of the wedding, he arrived on time, he was incredibly professional, and most importantly, he played beautifully! My husband is a trained musician as well; it didn't take more than a few bars for him to realize just how talented Mr. Laskey is. But it certainly doesn't take a highly-trained musical ear to recognize just how beautifully Mr. Laskey's music is! He truly provided the perfect musical backdrop to our wedding.
    Even better, any time my husband & I want to relive our wedding day, we're able to listen to the same sounds that played as I walked down the aisle, thanks to the CD Mr. Laskey provided. In fact, as my husband & I drove away from our wedding that day, we put his CD in the car stereo & listened to it as we drove to the hotel. It really was the perfect finishing touch to our perfect wedding day.

    If you're looking for a truly talented, professional, kind-hearted classical guitarist, look no further! You've found him!

    Thanks again, Mr. Laskey!

    My wedding coordinator actually referred me to someone other than Jarrett, but they were booked. After looking at reviews on WeddingWire.com, I emailed Jarrett, and luckily, he was available. After booking Jarrett, my fiance realized that his late brother used to take lessons from Jarrett, so it meant even more to us to have Jarrett play at our wedding. Jarrett was extremely flexible, took the time to learn a new piece just for our ceremony, was always available when I had questions or other OCD bride issues, and was an absolutely pleasure to work with. We had multiple compliments on the ceremony music and we were more than thrilled. Book him now before he realizes that he is worth SO much more ;)

    We are so glad we found Jarrett for our wedding. We had an outdoor ceremony with approx 130 guests and asked Jarrett to play solo classical guitar for our ceremony. His music was absolutely beautiful and it fit perfectly with our outdoor ceremony. Many of our guests commented that they really enjoyed the music. He was a pleasure to work with and appreciate that he took the time to answer our many questions and help us determine which of the handful of songs we considered would be the best fit for each part of the ceremony. Thank you, Jarrett!

Jarrett learned three new pieces for us: Little Things by One Direction for the processional, Falling In Love at a Coffee Shop by Landon Pigg for the Bridal procession and I'm Yours by Jason Mraz for the recessional. Jarrett is even recording these for me so I can have them forever! I definitely, without hesitation, recommend Jarrett to any Bride! Loved!

    I can not begin to say enough good things about Jarrett! He is incredibly professional, punctual, and a great musician. We had him play at our ceremony and cocktail hour, and all of our guests raved! I highly suggest Jarrett!

    Jarrett is a lovely person and talented, classically-trained guitarist. On a friend's recommendation, we heard him play at his regular gig at Marvelous Market by Eastern Market. It took only a few strums to know that he would provide the perfect ambiance during our wedding ceremony. Flexible, cordial, and professional, Jarrett delivered a great repertoire of songs and helped to make our ceremony memorable. Our experience with him was delightful and melodious from start to finish - we recommend him in a heartbeat!

    When we first heard Jarrett's samples, we immediately knew that we wanted him to perform at our wedding ceremony. Jarrett was very nice to work with, and we found his suggestions to be very helpful in finalizing our music. He performed beautifully, and his music was the perfect complement to our garden ceremony. Jarrett was responsive and professional, and we do not hesitate to recommend him for your wedding ceremony music needs.

    Jarrett's guitar playing added just right touch for the occasion of our daughter's wedding and reception. He was prompt and professional and learned a song requested by the bride and groom specifically for the ceremony. His playing was excellent and added just the right touch. If you need a guitarist any occasion I would highly recommend Jarrett.

    Jarrett was great to work with. He was very responsive and I felt very comfortable in selecting him to do our ceremony music. There is just something about an acoustic guitar played at your wedding that just really gives you a different feeling. It was amazing! We couldn't have been happier with his performance and all around business. He was great to work with!

    Jarrett is fantastic! His classical guitar brought both elegance and charm to our outdoor wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. In addition being exceptionally talented, he was extremely easy to work with. He was professional, responsive, and flexible. He was also happy to make suggestions and recommendations where needed. Many of our guests commented about how beautiful his music was and how much they enjoyed his performance; his music really brought our wedding to another level. We are so happy that we hired Jarrett and are confident that you will be as delighted if you hire him, too!

    Jarrett Laskey was wonderful to work with, he even learned a special song just for my new husband and me. He was prompt and came ready to entertain our guests before and during the ceremony. I was so happy that I chose Jarrett for our special ceremony music; we plan to have him for other events in the future. You will be pleased with his professionalism and talent!

    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 Laskey was a total pleasure to work with - he played beautifully, he was extremely accommodating, and he was completely professional. We asked for some really unusual song choices for classical guitar ("Take Me Out to the Ballgame," anyone?), and he played them perfectly, without batting an eye. He is tremendously talented and I cannot stress enough what a pleasure it was to work with him. I was so happy that we selected him and incorporated live classical guitar into our ceremony. Thanks again, Jarrett!

    Jarrett is an excellent musician. All of our guests were very impressed by his performance, and even the minister mentioned to us how great the music was. The list that Jarrett provided us to choose our music from was extensive, and we were pleased to be able to pick some less-traditional music that was just beautiful. I would certainly recommend him to anyone looking for a professional and extremely talented live musician.

    We hired Jarrett for out October 2011 wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. Both events were held outdoors. We found out about Jarrett during a simple Google search. My wife wanted a ceremony with a Spanish guitar theme. His website samples of Spanish and classical music clips sounded excellent and we liked the previous positive reviews as well. We met with Jarrett prior to the wedding to discuss what we wanted in addition to all the details of the ceremony. Jarrett was very easy to work with and took all of what we said and ran with it perfectly. He sent us some great suggestions of the procession piece. The one we chose was perfect. On the wedding day Jarrett showed up and was entirely prepared for the event, no hassle. His performance during the ceremony and cocktail hour was flawless. Several guests commented on his excellent performance. One guest said his performance during the ceremony was his favorite part of the night and that some of the pieces that Jarrett played were favorites he had not heard in a long time. Our only regret was that we had to take photos during happy hour and we missed a tremendous cocktail hour performance. We highly recommend Jarrett for any event when you want to please all the guests.

    My wife and I got engaged in Spain so we wanted to tie in that into our wedding. Thanks to Jarrett this was a success. From the ceremony to the cocktail hour he played Spanish guitar and we are still getting complements on his performance. I have heard Spanish guitar before but he was absolutely amazing, I could not have asked for a better performer. I now find myself looking for excuses to throw a celebration together just so that I can hear him play again. If your looking for a guitarist to perform at your wedding you need look no further.

    I hired Jarrett for my wedding ceremony back in 2005. I cannot say enough great things about him! He had a few days to learn a Hawaiian song from a recording - then, just 20-minutes to rehearse with my brother-in-law who did the vocals. No sheet music was provided. The lyrics were in Hawaiian. He also played Canon D, Vivaldi, and other ceremony music for us. He was utterly professional and extremely talented. We were so lucky to find him!

    For my wedding, I wanted some classical guitar music along with Spanish flamenco music to play at the beginning of our reception and during dinner. Jarrett provided exactly this! He learned a few flamenco songs and played some of my favorites! His music added elegance and beauty to our reception. Our guests loved him, and I absolutely recommend him to anyone searching for a truly exceptional guitarist.

    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!

    Not only did Jarrett play amazing music for our wedding ceremony, but he also learned two new songs that were very special to us for the occasion. He also went an extra step to arrive early & practice with my cousin, who sang as I walked down the aisle. We had many, many compliments on his music & we would recommend him 500% to anyone looking for a very taleted musician. Thank you, Jarrett, for helping us make our wedding the most special day of our lives. Sincerely, Meagan & John Michael Beatty, Jr.

    Jarrett's performance could not have been more perfect for my wedding ceremony. In the days before my wedding he was flexible and accommodating regarding my selection of music and he was patient with regards to the amount of time it took me to finalize the itinerary. The day of the wedding he arrived early, dressed professionally (even though he knew he'd be seated in the choir loft), and executed my plans for the prelude and processional flawlessly. I would highly recommend his services to anyone seeking hassle-free professional-quality classical music.

    Jarrett was a fantastic discovery. We requested his skills (Jan 2015) at our ceremony and cocktail hour. He provided the right ambiance for us with his classical guitar. He had many song selections to choose from and he was very adaptive to our requests. We allowed him to make his own choices during the cocktail hour and he came through with perfection. Jarrett was also very responsive in returning emails and showed-up on time. He is an all-around true professional to work with.

    Jarrett is an exceptional classical guitarist, who is able to learn any piece of music if given the time. That being said, Jarrett was very gracious when I was worried about the piece my husband and I wanted him to play for my walk down the aisle, so he learned a few bars of the music & met up with us to put us at ease. We ended up hiring him, and could not have been happier. Jarrett is very flexible - hire him, and you won't regret it!

    Mr. Laskey was absolutely perfect. He was a late breaking addition to our wedding plans but he jumped right in. His list was extensive and we were able to pick the exact songs we wanted - "A Story Book Love", "Pachelbel's Canon in D" and "Here Comes the Sun." We even had difficulties getting the wedding party started on time and Mr. Laskey flawlessly repeated the processional so that there was enough music. We were very pleased and I would strongly recommend him.

    Jarrett played the songs of our choosing for our ceremony and cocktail hour. He was dressed in a formal tuxedo, arrived early, and provided excellent service.

    We asked him to play Stairway to Heaven, which he was able to learn for us.

    I would definitely recommend him for your event!

    Ok, this is the groom writing this review. I am a musician and I'm super particular. While we had not originally intended to hire a musician for our special day, I wanted to surprise my bride, and she was absolutely floored to walk into the venue and have Jarrett's incredible, amazing music filling up the room. Jarrett agreed to perform on incredibly short notice and responded to my initial email within an hour (several other candidates took up to two days to respond). His playlist is versatile, combining a great mix of classical, contemporary and Latin selections to choose from. I selected the playlist and Jarrett performed it with grace and elegance. Also, he arrived well ahead of the scheduled ceremony. I would highly recommend Jarrett to anyone looking to make their wedding day extra memorable.

    Performance added a polish to my private party!

    Excellent musician. His background music was perfect for the private Sunday lunch birthday celebration I had planned, where it was important for my guests to easily converse around the music he played. His picked the perfect musical tempo for my gathering, and since my event did not require an upbeat tempo, I was pleased. I also was pleased with the genre of songs he introduced; each song captured the age and interests of my guests. I only had 22 guests, so my per person expense for music was a bit high. However, Jarrett's performance certainly added a polish to my private restaurant party!

    We had a great experience with Jarret during our wedding. He played as guests arrived, the processional, recessional, and during the cocktail hour, and he had no issues playing the few songs we requested. His music blended in perfectly with our event and I'd happily recommend him for yours!

    Jarrett's beautiful guitar playing added a very elegant touch to our ceremony and cocktail hour. He is professional and plays very well. He even learned a new song at our request. It is also very helpful that Jarrett provides a sample list of songs for all the typical ceremony parts. This was invaluable to us as we planned our ceremony music. Jarrett is also reasonably priced. I have no complaints with his service and highly recommend him!
