The perfect musician for out special day
Jim exceeded our expectations with his guitar accompaniment to our wedding ceremony and reception. He took the time to meet with us in person, a year in advance, to discuss song choices and to get to know us. On the day of, he was very professional, warm, and friendly while interacting with our guests. We would highly recommend him to anyone seeking a highly skilled musician with a personal touch.Jim exceeded our expectations with his guitar accompaniment to our wedding ceremony and reception.

Hire Jim NOW!
Jim played his guitar during our wedding ceremony, cocktail reception, and dinner. Three hours straight without a break! We didn't have a clue what music we wanted for our ceremony. Jim met me a couple weeks before the event and brought along his guitar and gave us lots of options! He's so talented, humble, and gracious. You'd be lucky to have him be a part of any special event. He brought our wedding to life in a way that I never imagined. I feel honored that we were able to have him at our wedding. He's amazing.Jim played his guitar during our wedding ceremony, cocktail reception, and dinner. Three hours straight without a break! We didn't have a clue what music we wanted for our ceremony.

Jim came highly recommended by my wedding venue and I am so thankful for that recommendation. Jim was a bride’s dream to work with. Communication was so clear and easy and fast, and the music was beautiful. His guitar set the perfect tone for our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour and he was excellent with recommending songs we had never even considered. We could not have been happier. I would definitely recommend Jim to play for your special event if you’re looking for a professional guitarist.

We highly recommend working with Jim Olsen. We hired Jim to play at our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour, and he did an excellent job. We received a number of compliments from our guests. Leading up to our big day, we had the added challenge of planning our event from afar. Jim was very easy to work with and was helpful in making sure the songs played matched our personalities and set the mood we wanted. Jim was also great when it came to coordinating setup with our venue, which we really appreciated. Thanks Jim!We highly recommend working with Jim Olsen.

Jim was so wonderful to work with. Jim's communication throughout the entire planning process was amazing. He was responsive and kept us informed along the way. This was critical for a bride planning a destination wedding- Jim was one person I knew I didn't have to worry about! I would recommend Jim to any one in need of a musician. He was fantastic and I'm so glad he was part of our wedding!Jim was so wonderful to work with. Jim's communication throughout the entire planning process was amazing.

Jim is just awesome! His guitar playing is just lovely and has been the perfect compliment to our association's event for two years now. He plays a great mix of songs at just the right level so it adds to the atmosphere but is not too loud for conversation. He is super professional; has his own gear, shows up very early and is ready to go when the event starts. Really friendly and easy to talk to as well. We have booked Jim a year ahead of time for next year's event because we are so happy with him. On top of everything else - reasonably priced!Jim is just awesome!

We had the most wonderful experience having Jim play for our wedding. He made the day perfect for us!! The guests raved about his music for our ceremony and everyone is still talking about his playing our first song which he customized just for us. It was a perfect day. I can't recommend him high enough!We had the most wonderful experience having Jim play for our wedding. He made the day perfect for us!!

Jim recently played acoustic guitar for our wedding ceremony and social hour at Grand View Lodge. He was beyond easy to work with and can play a wide variety of music styles from classical "wedding" to current hits. His music perfectly matched the beautiful backdrop of our outdoor ceremony and I highly recommend him for any type of wedding.Jim recently played acoustic guitar for our wedding ceremony and social hour at Grand View Lodge.

Jim is a very talented guitarist who was accommodating in every aspect of the word. I wanted a simple, acoustic feel to our ceremony with only one instrument. One of my bridesmaids was unsure if she would be able to sing a song during the unity cross ceremony because of having a baby two weeks prior via C-section and also having her two year old daughter as my flower girl; Jim practiced with her before the ceremony and was able to transpose to her vocal within a short time. Jim not only plays guitar beautifully, he was a joy to have a part of our wedding day with his kind personality. I would recommend him to anyone!Jim is a very talented guitarist who was accommodating in every aspect of the word. I wanted a simple, acoustic feel to our ceremony with only one instrument.

Jim is one of the most talented musicians I've ever worked with. Total professional and an extremely accomplished player. He is the perfect choice for live ceremony music and social background music. He seems to know every song ever written and I would recommend Jim any day of the week (and twice on Sunday).Jim is one of the most talented musicians I've ever worked with.

Jim played for us at our intimate (10 guest) wedding. He helped guide us in decision making about the music and definitely knows what he is doing! He was even able to rearrange a few things to be able to accommodate our ceremony. He is professional, timely, courteous and extremely talented! I would absolutely recommend him. Thanks again, Jim. Our sweet wedding just wouldn't have been the same without you! Missy and JeremiahJim played for us at our intimate (10 guest) wedding.
