Working with Jim was easy and a really great experience. He was friendly, professional, talented and had a diverse song book. All the guests loved him, especially my special needs niece who was enthralled by his music. I would recommend him to anyone.

Excellent Guitarist
Jim is the best! He recently played for our daughter's backyard wedding, and we loved his performance. He had played a couple years ago at our other daughter's wedding, and we chose him again. He has all his guitar songs memorized, so he is able to play outside without worrying about the wind blowing sheet music. He excels at communicating with his prompt and thorough emails. And he comes early to the wedding to discuss when to begin playing and how the processional will go. We highly recommend Jim as a wedding guitarist!

You are in great hands if you hire Jim
Jim is an incredibly talented musician. He played for both our ceremony and dinner reception, and we lost track of how many people commented on the beauty and energy of the music throughout the night. Jim has played a ton of weddings and knows how to navigate all aspects of the experience with flexibility and professionalism. He was responsive, communicative, and helpful at all stages of planning. Couldn't recommend him more!

Truly amazing!
The best decision I’ve ever made was to marry my now husband. The second best was to hire Jim Falbo to play the soundtrack of our love and new life together. Jim is a consummate professional, magically talented musician, and was totally receptive to our venue and musical requests. Our entire wedding was elevated because of Jim’s fabulous contributions. I cannot praise him enough. Jim was wonderful to work with in the preparation Phase and spectacular to hear play through the happiest night of our life.

Made our wedding magical!
Where do we start? Jim was an incredible addition to our perfect wedding. He went above and beyond in his clear and always prompt communication. He was great to provide updates and eased any doubts of his commitment and abilities. On the day of, he arrived early and was set-up in a jiff. He nailed each of the songs during our ceremony and transitions were seamless.
During cocktail hour, he maintained the perfect tempo and balanced our request of upbeat music with Spanish guitar hits sprinkled in. Lastly, he learned a unique song for us and played it with such gusto - it was the hit of cocktail hour that everyone keeps talking about. He was friendly with our guests and we strongly recommend him for any wedding ceremony/cocktail hour.
Jim Falbo. Guitarist's reply:
Hi Eric,
Thanks for hiring me, and for taking the time to review my work. I enjoyed playing the wide variety of tunes, and playing for everyone on your wedding day. Wish you both the best!

Incredibly talented musician and wonderful to work with!
We could not have asked for a better musician for our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour than Jim! Not only is he incredibly talented, but he's overall a genuinely kind and professional person. Jim was also very flexible while we navigated postponing our wedding due throughout COVID. Don't hesitate to book him!

A Perfect Choice
When we started the search for a guitarist to have at our wedding, it was clear we were over our heads. When we found Jim Falbo and listened to a few of his recordings we were very interested. I reached out to Jim and he was very responsive and sensitive to our wants. We let Jim give suggestions and were thrilled with his performance. There were no issues in timing, logistics, equipment or music selections. Jim took all the anxiety away and handled his part like a true professional. I will absolutely be utilizing Jim's services for future events within my own company. Thank You Jim for making our day that much more special.

Jim's great! (August 2020)
My wife's a classically-trained singer (music is important to her) and her primary wish was to have a classical guitarist be the soundtrack of our day. Due to COVID-19 we moved the wedding from San Diego to her hometown in Iowa, with limited options. We found Jim Falbo in the Minneapolis/St. Paul metro and, because Jim's so responsive, within a matter of an hour or so we had him booked for our date.
Easy negotiation of the contract, travel details and logistics. Pricing was totally reasonable.
Jim's amazing. Exactly what we had envisioned / heard in our minds' eye. The mood of the ceremony and cocktail hour was perfect. Great selection of songs to choose from and he even added one or two requests, including an accompaniment with our friend who sang.
So happy that we found Jim!

Excellent musician, very professional!
I couldn't have dreamed of a better experience with Jim! He was extremely flexible when we needed to reschedule our reception more than a year later. Most importantly, he communicated well, is an excellent musician, and extremely professional. I wish I had another excuse to hire him again!

My favorite vendor!
Having live music at my intimate ceremony was one of the most important things to me. Jim made the booking process super easy, and I was very impressed with the quality of his service. I have since hired him many more times for events for myself and for clients. I highly recommend choosing Jim for your event!

Jim Falbo is Amazing
Jim was incredibly responsive and flexible. He was able to accept the job to play for our ceremony and cocktail hour on relatively short notice. He was quick to send us a very wide-ranging repertoire to choose from which allowed us to create a perfectly tailored set list for both the ceremony and the cocktail hour. Jim was flexible in adding time to his original commitment and was very competitively priced. Jim also offered to learn additional pieces if we had a special song in mind.
In addition to our appreciation, we had many people come up to tell us how beautiful the music was during the ceremony and how cool the cocktail hour was with Jim playing in the background.
I truly believe Jim elevated the overall experience of our wedding day.
I would highly recommend Jim to anyone looking for music at their event.

Loved Working With Jim
Jim Falbo played guitar for our ceremony and was the epitome of professionalism. He responded to all questions we had in a timely fashion. He even invited us to listen to him perform some of his arrangements, to include the piece he arranged just for us per our request . He was punctual for the event, showing up well before the agreed upon time. He had a very large catalog of songs from which we could choose. We really appreciated the classy touch that having Jim play for us brought to our ceremony/reception.

Excellent guitarist!
We are so happy that we had Jim play at our wedding! He came as a recommendation from our officiant (Tom Armstrong) who has performed other weddings with him and we are so thankful for it! Jim was very professional, kind and responsive to emails. With his array of music choices we could pick songs to fit exactly what we had envisioned for our ceremony and cocktail hour. Everything went so smoothly and he handled the timing of the processional songs beautifully. I would recommend him in a heartbeat!

Beautiful and special ceremony music
Jim was amazing to work with! From the first few emails we sent to the last, he was always very responsive and willing to work with our requests. He allows you to pick one song which he will learn for the ceremony (if not in his repertoire), and he played ours beautifully! We are so glad we found Jim and don’t think our ceremony would have been as special without him.

Thanks for the kind words Chelsea! It's amazing that the weather held out long enough for the ceremony, and I enjoyed playing in your wedding. Wish you and yours the best!

What a night!
There aren't enough superlatives to describe Jim and his skills: Mad skills, very easy to work with, flexible, and able to hit a curveball; we wanted to add a song not in his repertoire and - on very short notice - Jim was able to accomodate us. Jim made our night positively magical, and I cannot recommend him highly enough.
Jim Falbo. Guitarist's reply:
Thanks Frederick! Enjoyed playing all the great tunes you requested. Anyone who selects Bach, Dire Straits, Mozart, The Eagles, and the Beach Boys for ceremony/cocktail hour music has good taste in music!

Jim was simply the best! He was so easy to work with and wanted to ensure our wedding was personalized and exactly how we envisioned it. When I wasn't able to find a song I liked for my bridal walk from his extensive list of songs, he suggested I find a song I loved and he would learn it! It was perfect :)

Jim's music was absolutely perfect for our cocktail hour. It completely set the mood. He played a wide variety of music and played flawlessly. I heard rave reviews from my guests as well. We had originally planned on having our event outdoors but rain forced us inside. I was a bit worried that the music might be a bit overpowering indoors, but it was exactly the right loudness and filled the space beautifully. I highly recommend Jim!

Hire Jim!!
Jim played at our outdoor wedding ceremony in July. When we were planning our ceremony, we met with Jim and he played us a mini-concert and helped us choose our music. He totally put us at ease. For the wedding, Jim brought his own speaker and let us use his microphone for our ceremony - it was absolutely seamless. The sound carried to our guests - even outside!
We LOVED the music before, during and after the ceremony. Our guests loved it, too, and had so many wonderful things to say about Jim, specifically. Jim has a huge repertoire. He played the songs we requested (some pop, Beatles, even AHA!) and learned a new song to play just for us. It was so beautiful and just what we wanted.
Jim is so talented, professional, responsive and nice! I am looking for an excuse to hire him again!
Jim Falbo. Guitarist's reply:
Hi Kelly,
So glad I could provide music for you and Brian's lovely wedding. It really was a nice afternoon to play guitar for you all on your special day!
