    Beautiful ambiance! Everyone loved him!

    The sound of a guitar is so much better than a harp and strings. Jason has acoustic and electric options with a repertoire including classical, pop, and rock songs. We chose acoustic for our daytime wedding and he played for both our ceremony and reception. He helped create the perfect atmosphere for our entire event and the style he brings to music is amazing! Multiple family members commented on his skill and ability to turn a familiar rock song into something beautiful, and they had so much fun when they recognized it! Jason was very easy to work with to coordinate processional/recessional songs and went above and beyond to play all my favorites throughout the day.

    Wow so amazing! Highly recommend!

    I just got married on 11/13/21, and was very set on acoustic for my ceremony and cocktail hour. When I came across Jason, I was SOOO impressed with his music and abilities! He was so responsive, and made the planning process so seamless! Everyone at my ceremony and cocktail hour loved the music. He even learned one of my favorite songs Golden Hour for my ceremony. He really made my ceremony special. I highly suggest you book him for your wedding!!

    Completed our special day!

    We were really happy we chose Jason! He was very responsive and flexible due to having to change our date due to COVID. Everyone loved his guitar playing during cocktail hour and ceremony. My guests still talk about it today We! We also enjoyed his music for dancing during the reception!

    Great Ceremony Musician!

    Jason was easy to work with from the very beginning. He was always prompt to respond or hop on a quick call. He worked with our preferences to make the ceremony music tailored to our liking, was prompt, on time, and professional. Would certainly recommend!

    Jason is the perfect combination-talented guitar player and DJ!

    Jason Hobert did an amazing job at my daughter's wedding on the beach at the Sandpearl! His guitar playing at the ceremony and during the cocktail hour was simply beautiful. The fact that he could then also DJ the reception, made things so convenient. He provided great music, welcomed requests, and brought all his own audio equipment and lighting. Jason was easy to work with from start to finish. Just listen to his guitar playing on his website and you will hear for yourself what a truly gifted musical artist he is!

    Jason was the absolute best!! We hired him to play the guitar for the ceremony, cocktail hour, and DJ for reception. All of it was top notch. He had the party going during the reception. We received TONS of compliments from our guests. Leading up to the wedding day, he was super helpful and always got back to us in a timely manner. Thank you again Jason <3 We had the time of our lives!

    Once I heard Jason Hobert - Professional Guitarist play, I couldn’t imagine anyone else filling the role at our wedding. He stands out against all other options and his music is nothing short of magical!

    Jason resides in Tampa, but was willing to travel to Deland to play instrumental guitar during our wedding (acoustic) and our cocktail hour (acoustic and electric) and he then MC/DJed for our reception. Jason was easy to communicate with throughout the whole process and when it came time to decide which songs to play during the ceremony, Jason was extremely helpful in guiding us. He even agreed to learn two songs that were special to us—both played at our ceremony! In fact, I was so excited about hearing Jason play, I insisted on hiding behind a door 15 minutes before I would walk down the aisle just so I could secretly listen! I didn’t want to miss a chord!

    Beyond his incredible talent, Jason is an absolute professional. He arrived early, stayed beyond his scheduled time and was incredibly personable—both to our guests and also our other vendors! Jason creates fans wherever he plays! In fact, he is the winner of Wedding Wire’s “Couple’s Choice Award”, which means he is in the top 5% nationally reviewed musicians!

    Jason is beyond talented! I just cannot rave enough about how incredible he is. We felt lucky to snag him for our wedding and we recommend him to others without hesitation! He’s a class act and we hope we have the opportunity to hear him play again soon!

    Jason was the perfect choice for a musician and dj for our wedding! From the beginning he was very friendly, professional, and timely in his communication. At our wedding he played the guitar beautifully for our ceremony and cocktail hour. He then converted to an awesome dj for our ceremony. He played all of our song requests and was excellent at reading the crowd throughout the reception to keep the dancing going. Jason was the perfect musician for our wedding and we couldn't have asked for anything more! Please, if you're looking for a musician and/or DJ don't look any further!!

    Jason was great! He got back to me quickly and learned some songs for my wedding. Then, when we had a mishap with the sound system, he offered to leave his until the reception was finished (even though his contracted time was up). His ability to play the guitar is fabulous, and his sound fit in perfectly with my beach wedding. He's a quality guy and a great musician. I'd highly recommend him!

    Jason is the guitarist you are looking for!

    I cannot say enough good things about Jason and either could my guests! He was responsive during the planning process, and is an incredibly talented guitarist. He was the highlight of our ceremony and cocktail hour. We asked him to learn a specific song and he absolutely nailed it. You absolutely will not regret hiring him!

    Jason's acoustic guitar performance was perfect for our Rehearsal Dinner. He was professional throughout the planning process and sounded amazing at the event, was incredibly helpful in setting the ambiance. Thank you Jason!

    Absolutely Awesome!!

    If you are looking for something unique your wedding guests will absolutely remember.. hire Jason the guitarist!! He was absolutely amazing from start to finish! All of my guests were raving how beautiful it was. We had Jason during our prelude as guests were entering the ceremony space and also during cocktail hour. Jason was friendly, professional, punctual, and very talented! Jason was kind enough to send me his song list where I was able to choose what type of songs/genre I wanted during the prelude (slow love songs) and the cocktail hour (upbeat modern contemporary). I would absolutely recommend Jason and will definitely hire him again for another event of mine. (:

    Jason was Great!

    We got married on June 17 in St. Pete Beach, but live in the Chicago area so we put a lot of faith in Jason without getting the opportunity to meet with him prior to the wedding, and he exceeding any expectations we could have had! We received so many compliments from guests about him throughout the night (especially when he broke out the guitar for cocktail hour!). Couldn't have been happier to have had the opportunity to work with Jason.

    Went above and beyond!

    Jason was great to work with, he played guitar beautifully at our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour with all our requested songs. He was then DJ and emcee at our reception and it made for a seamless transition. We even had some hiccups with our dance floor that I later learned he jumped in to help with, we so appreciate it!

    Wonderful Ceremony Music!

    Jason was very communicative as soon as I contacted him to book. He was clear with his repertoire and allowed us to choose songs we liked and even add one song that was special to us. Many guests were complimenting us on having such wonderful ceremony music and it's all due to Jason!

    Jason is fantastic!

    We just had our wedding a few days ago - and I had some very unique requests. Jason delivered on it all and made sure the entire wedding went smoothly - including playing the guitar for our cocktail hour! He MCs perfectly and everyone had a fantastic time! Thank you Jason! I would definitely recommend him.

    A Master of Music

    Jason was a joy to work with for my daughter's wedding. He delivered perfect music throughout the cocktail hour, wedding ceremony and dinner. Our guests were so impressed with his range of music and played beautifully. Thank you, Jason, for an unforgettable day!

We also had jason as our DJ as well! He is so good he kept everyone engaged and everyone had a blast! Jason was great with communicating and making sure everything was in line for our big day. We will always be grateful for Jason. Book with him he is amazing!

    Best of everything !

    Jason. Thank you. You made our wedding day amazing!

    So flexible and relaxed, this was the exact vibe I was going for to celebrate our wedding. I love how seamless the music at our wedding was, we had beautiful ceremony music that flowed perfectly. And then after we had a bumping DJ party. It was the best of both worlds!

    He does it all, amazing!!

    Jason’s category on the knot can make him a little hard to find if you’re looking for a DJ. I actually found his profile on a gig website when I was looking for a possible acoustic guitarist to play for the ceremony… Luckily he does both! I came back to the knot to try to find him again and look for reviews, all of which were great. We wanted acoustic guitar for the ceremony and cocktail hour because I think it’s such a prettier sound than the more traditional violinist. We also got a little preview by checking out his Instagram. We had the perfect mixture of modern and classical songs for the ceremony followed by all my favorite music during the cocktail hour like Weezer. The best part was that he was also our DJ for the reception and he handled additional up lighting as well. My biggest issue finding a DJ was all the cheesy entertainment companies, it’s just was not our style. We wanted somebody to play music all night and not play host on the mic instead (lol). He was also so nice to our guests who started requesting their favorite songs as the drinks started pouring... I loved having one person who could do ceremony, cocktail hour, reception, and lighting. And he is very affordable. Thank you so much, Jason!

    Highly Recommend!

    Jason was great to work with! I first met Jason at a wedding expo and heard him playing the guitar- I instantly knew I wanted him to play at our wedding. I wish I got to hear more, but from what I did hear, it sounded great and our guests will really impressed.

    Jason also did a great job being the DJ. He played the songs that we requested and kept the dance floor going. The price was very fair and we are so happy we chose Jason. I would highly recommend!

    Don't Look Anywhere Else - Jason is the Best DJ!

    We knew we wanted a guitarist and not some hokey, fist-pumping DJ for our small, intimate wedding. I found Jason online by simply searching for a guitarist in the area, and everything about working with him from first initial contact through the night of wedding was easy and flawless. He was responsive to all my questions, played exactly the music we requested (even specific segments of songs), and was so nice and easy-going that was refreshing given how other vendors can be! But the best part was he was SO GOOD - he played the guitar for our ceremony and cocktail hour, and everyone RAVED about how lovely it was. Then, for the reception, he was able to flip and do an awesome job DJ-ing! He got our guests dancing and having fun, surpassing literally any expectation I had. I can't recommend Jason enough - one of the best choices we made for our special day!
