The best music!
Music is VERY important to me!! Having music at my wedding needed to be perfect! I didn't even consider hiring anyone else but Jim! I have seen him play and he is the best of the best. I didn't worry about anything when I hired him, I knew my wedding would be perfect! He is a DREAM to work with! He went above and beyond my expectations. I didn't worry for a second about his music, I knew it would be fantastic. He made my ceremony so incredibly special! Everyone still talks about how amazing he was! I couldn't imagine anyone else playing and being a part of our special day! Thank you Jim for making our day so special!!! -

Jim is a man of music and worldclass customer service
Jim was very easy to work with and customer service friendly. Having Jim was a very special add to our wedding. We came across him at a wedding expo in Naperville. Almost missed him by skipping the last building at Naper Settlements. I'm so happy we went to that third building, walking in we heard very nice music and went to see who was playing. We talked with him and later visited his website and we knew we needed to have him for our wedding. We hired Jim for our ceremony and cocktail hour, and he was great, and our guest's loved him. Jim learned new songs for us and sent us demo videos and offered us suggestions. Out of all the wedding vendors we had to work with he made things super easy and answered all our questions and everything was super smooth. Thank You Jim for making our wedding day special. -

Excellent Guitarist for our Wedding Ceremony and Cocktail Hour!
Jim Perona was a wonderful addition to our wedding day. He played guitar beautifully during both the ceremony and cocktail hour, creating a warm and elegant atmosphere. Jim was very easy to work with and made the entire process smooth and stress-free.
He also went above and beyond by learning Nights in White Satin by The Moody Blues for our ceremony, which was a meaningful touch for our family. It truly added something special to the day.
If you’re looking for a talented and professional guitarist, I would definitely recommend Jim. His music added so much to our wedding, and we’re so glad we chose him! -

Incredible Music!
Jim was incredible at our wedding! He played as guests were arriving at the venue, during the processional, and during the recessional. He was enthusiastic to play at the wedding and the music was beautiful! It added such a special touch to the day, especially as I was walking down the aisle. Guests were raving about the music, even weeks later! Jim was also extremely easy to communicate with and promptly answered any questions we had. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for some live music at their wedding! -

Highly recommend Jim!
Jim was the best! He performed the ceremony and cocktail hour music at our wedding a few months ago and was fantastic. The ceremony was so special and beautiful, thanks in large part to his music. Jim has a large repertoire of songs, was incredibly kind and easy to work with, and was flexible on the day of the wedding when we had to adjust plans due to poor weather. There’s a reason he has so many wonderful reviews. We HIGHLY recommend him for your event. -

Amazing talent!!
Jim Perona 🎸
Having you perform at our wedding was a privilege; your performance exceeded our expectations. Your capacity to incorporate meaningful Latin songs into your set was remarkable, resonating deeply with us and our loved ones. Your dedication to learning these songs was evident and inspiring. Your music beautifully conveyed the romantic, intimate ambiance we sought, reflecting our shared passion for music. We extend our sincerest gratitude for your talent and authenticity. -

Truly a Class Act!
Having Jim perform during our ceremony was one of the best decisions my husband and I made for our wedding day! There is nothing like having live music play as you’re walking down the aisle— I truly felt like I was in a movie (which is exactly how every Bride should feel on her wedding day)! In addition to his musical expertise, Jim was a pleasure to work with. He was one of the few vendors we looked forward to meeting with throughout the wedding planning process. He was informative and professional when going over the details of booking his services and left us feeling very confident in our decision to have him perform after every meeting. He was also kind and thoughtful in his approach to brainstorming song selections and provided us with video demos of the few special songs we requested before selecting them as our picks. His kindness also extended into the day of, assisting us with providing an extra microphone for our officiant to use and being friendly to our guests upon their arrival to the ceremony. Everyone raved about his performance afterward! If I could do it all again, I would have booked Jim for the cocktail hour following our ceremony as well—we couldn’t get enough of his performance during our ceremony and are still in awe of his talent. Take it from this 2024 Bride—you want Jim to perform at your wedding! -

How to Plan a Wedding in Two Weeks...
My now-husband and I found ourselves having to plan a wedding within two weeks due to the somber news that his father, soon to be my father-in-law, had only a few months to live following a cancer diagnosis. Originally, we had planned a small yet luxurious wedding at the Four Seasons on the Big Island in Hawaii. However, upon realizing our desire to have my husband's father present, we made the decision to cancel. Unfortunately, the Four Seasons proved to be less understanding; despite sharing pictures and notes from doctors, they refused a refund and even charged us an additional $4,500 for food and beverages.
After sharing our story within the Naperville area, we received a recommendation to contact the Naper Settlement to inquire about availability. Not only did they have an opening on our original wedding date, but Guest Services Representative Nicole Szczurek went above and beyond, providing us with a list of her top vendors to help execute our wedding within the tight 2-week timeline. At the top of the list was Jim Perona, whom we had researched on social media and listened to his music beforehand, confirming that he would be our ideal choice.
Upon sharing our situation, Jim responded promptly, committing to being our guitarist for the ceremony despite having another engagement in a different town earlier that morning. He assured us that he would make it to our ceremony on time. Jim collaborated with us on each song selection, alleviating our concerns by keeping the songs true to those initially chosen for our Hawaiian wedding. Not only was he accommodating, but he also had prior experience working with the other vendors, the officiant Nicole, and our photographer, ensuring a seamless wedding ceremony.
Words cannot express our gratitude to Jim. His involvement in our ceremony transformed a challenging emotional day into a beautiful memory. -

Very talented guitarist and extremely professional!
We have seen him play on several occasions and then hired him to play for our wedding. He traveled out to Ohio for us and did such a beautiful job. He timed the music perfectly and played all of our requested music. I could not be more pleased! -

Super talented, kind, and easy to work with
We hired Jim to play solo acoustic guitar for our wedding ceremony after being so impressed with his performance at a nearby venue. He is as easy to work with as he is amazingly gifted. He provided lots of options for songs he already knew to get us started, and he learned new songs just for us because that's what we wanted played. He even sent us informal recordings to ask us about the tempo and approach to the song so it was just right! It really was above and beyond anything we expected, and for an incredibly reasonable price. What's more, we also asked him to accompany our teenage daughter on a performance during the ceremony, and he was super awesome about working with her -- encouraging and accommodating and made everything super easy and fun. His music really contributed a lot to the vibe of our wedding, and we are forever grateful to him for his hard work and support and talent. -

Book Jim Now!
Jim is a beautiful musician, a true professional and a delightful person! My daughter had a very small intimate wedding, and Jim's music set just the right tone. He was prompt, very self-sufficient setting up and he knew just how to use his music to make all the special moments of the ceremony and cocktail reception blend seamlessly. I was a little nervous because we did not have a rehearsal, but Jim nailed it with one 15 minute conversation on the phone the week before the wedding. His number is going in my phone for future events! -

Absolutely amazing guitarist!
From the moment we first contacted Jim to the his performance at our wedding he exceeded any and all expectations, going above and beyond every step of the way. His repertoire list is impressive and his ability to learn additional songs per request is amazing! He is incredibly talented. We are so grateful that Jim was able to be apart of our big day. He was flexible with the flow of our wedding and was readily available to address any questions prior to the event. We received so many compliments and guests were raving about him! If you’re looking for a guitarist he is hands down the best! -

Perfect addition to our wedding
Jim was amazing to work with! His communication and response time was prompt. He also had experience playing at our venue in the past so he knew just what to do and where to set up. He learned how to play a specific requested song that my now husband wanted to walk down the aisle to. Leading up to the wedding, he sent us video updates of his progress and it turned out perfect! He made everything so easy and stress free. I would highly recommend him! -

Jim Perona - incredible guitarist
Jim Perona was the highlight of our wedding! I first discovered him playing guitar at a local winery and knew instantly I needed him to play at my wedding. He is kind and responds quickly. He learned the song I wanted to walk down the aisle to. All of my guests were raving about him and agreed he was the best part of my wedding. If you are thinking about a guitarist for your wedding, DO IT! -

Amazing! Highly recommend!
Jim Perona is a class act! I am so fortunate that our paths crossed several years ago when he was playing at Adelle's restaurant in Wheaton, IL. We were quickly captivated by his music and his charming personality and love listening to Jim any time he is playing locally. Each time he plays is a treat (not to mention that he always plays our favorite songs)!
We love Jim's music so much, we booked Jim to play at both our engagement party dinner and our wedding. As always, he was HIT! He took the time to learn and play songs that meant so much to my husband and I, and I will forever remember how he played as my husband and I danced our first dance. Jim's music touches my heart. I cannot say enough good things. -

Amazing Guitarist
Jim came recommended through friends that used him and their weddings/saw him perform at events and we were thrilled Jim was available for our August wedding for our ceremony and cocktail hour. We had to move our ceremony indoors two hours before our ceremony started due to weather and Jim was able to pivot without any issues. His talent is unbelievable! Friends and family couldn't stop talking how amazing the music was. I highly recommend Jim if you're looking for a guitarist! -

Very Talented
We hired Jim to play our ceremony and cocktail hour at our wedding and he was amazing! Very easy to work with and accommodated some odd song requests we had. We mostly chose off of his play list from his website as he already has so many songs to choose from but he did accommodate a few requests. All of our guests were commenting on how talented he was and how much they enjoyed listening to him. It was a great way to start our celebrations and I’m so happy we hired him! Thank you Jim! -

10/10 experience with Jim
I can't say enough great things about Jim! He is so incredibly talented and was so great to work with. Jim was able to provide beautiful acoustic music for our ceremony and we could not have been happier that we chose him to be a part of our wedding.
I requested a specific song to be played, Jim listened to about 30 seconds of it on his phone, and then was able to play the song without looking up sheet music. It was so impressive!
Jim has all his own equipment, all we needed to do was have an introduction call with him and he did the rest! Thanks for everything Jim! -

We were so lucky to have Jim perform guitar at our wedding reception! Not only was he a pleasure to work with, but he is so incredibly talented. He created the atmosphere we wanted and so many of our guests have reached out for his information already. I would highly recommend Jim as the musician for whatever event you might be having. -

Insanely Talented & Professional
We hired Jim to be our music wizard during the ceremony and cocktail hour of our wedding. My wife and I were blown away by his professionalism, flexibility, and range before our wedding day. Then the day came and Jim absolutely crushed it. We had multiple people come up during cocktail hour and dinner to say how beautiful the ceremony music was. Cocktail hour was my favorite part of the evening because as we spoke to friends and family, Jim shredded classical renditions of our favorite songs. People were legitimately blown away. If I could give more then 5 stars I would because Jim is worth every penny. -

winter wedding ceremony music
Jim was a perfect addition to our special day. He played beautiful music before, during and after our wedding ceremony and during dinner. His play list is extensive from classical to rock. Jim's attention to detail of what we wanted him to play was perfect. He was very calm and relaxed during our planning conversations. JIm has a sweet demeanor and is very kind. Our guests loved him and his music selection, but we loved him the most! -

Jim Perona - HIGHLY Recommend
Jim was incredible - he was so kind and patient with us, and willing to tailor everything to our specifications. We asked him for some particular things (announcements, music requests, etc) and he was so flexible and accommodating. He was perfectly communicative in the process and he offered us transparency by updating us on the progress of the songs he learned specifically for our wedding. His performance was outstanding, and our guests loved him too. We left the venue before our guests did, and he continued to play until the very last minute we were booked for, and even a little bit longer as our families were cleaning up at the end of the night! We were all blown away by his kindness and professionalism. By the end of the wedding process, he felt like a friend to us. We wanted our music to be personal and unique, not just another DJ - Jim went above and beyond our expectations. Can't recommend him highly enough. -

** jim perona - highly recommended **
We highly recommend Jim Perona to be your solo guitarist at your event.
My husband and I hired Jim for our wedding ceremony, and we have ZERO regrets! We wanted live music that would be beautiful and authentic to us, but did not overpower the sweetness of the event. It became clear to us that the string quartet sound did not suit our taste or vision for the ceremony. From the minute we heard some of Jim’s samples on his webpage and YouTube account, we knew we had found the right sound! Jim plays his music with talent, passion and enthusiasm. We loved his mix of classical, country, pop and rock, pulled from a variety of time periods.
Jim’s quick reply to our original email gave us all the information we needed up front. He built trust with us from day one, so we felt prepared for our meeting with him. When we did meet with him over video call, his enthusiasm for the craft was just overflowing. When we started throwing out ideas for a few special requests, he got so into the discussion that he pulled out his guitar and started playing around with the song ideas! Don’t you want that sort of excitement from your musician?
Jim went above and beyond for us after we hired him. He sent us demos of music from his repertoire, gave his professional feedback on some special requests we were considering, and he ultimately did learn a special request song for us (It turned out great!!).
On the day of the wedding, Jim was in place and warming up before we even arrived, and we did not for one second worry about the music the entire time. The ceremony went beautifully and his music was an essential part of it.
Contact Jim today and see for yourself what a great partner he will be during your event planning process.

Talented Musician for our video game theme wedding
Jim was so great to work with. He responded quickly to our questions and I had a lot. He help and walked us through every step of the way. He also worked with us and learned to play some songs from our favorite video games that we wanted at our wedding. He played music from Pokémon, Final Fantasy, Kingdom Hearts and more. He shared demos of the songs he played and man this guy has skills. Everyone at our wedding was loving the vibe and the music the whole time. Such a talented musician and would recommended him a thousands times over. -

Incredible guitarist!
Run, don't walk, to hire Jim to play at your wedding! Jim played both our ceremony & cocktail hour and was absolutely incredible! Beyond his talent, Jim was so responsive, kind, accommodating, and just a joy to work with. He provided such an extensive list of songs to choose from, and was even able to play a last-minute request on the spot. Months later, we are still getting comments on how amazing Jim was and what a special atmosphere he created through his playing.
Jim, thank you for your talent and for adding such a great energy to our wedding day! -

Excellent guitarist!!!
My husband & I hired Jim to play for our ceremony. He did a FANTASTIC job!!! I couldn't choose between two songs for my walking down the aisle song (bride). I had the idea of combining both songs and Jim made it come to life! He was more than happy to send samples of what it would sound like as well. It was beautiful!!! -

Beautiful classical guitar for your wedding day!
Jim made our wedding day so special! He plays guitar beautifully and provided music for our ceremony, cocktail hour, and dinner. Our guests commented on what a nice touch it was! Jim learned two custom songs for our wedding day. One was a rendition of a song that was special to my husband’s father - a man who does not typically cry was brought to tears when he heard it. Jim was fantastic to work with - super communicative throughout the entire process, enthusiastic, and professional. I highly recommend Jim if you’re looking for a unique touch for your wedding day! -

An Exceptional Musician and Partner
Jim was so easy to work with, and brought so much life and added beauty to our wedding. His songs were stellar, and me and my wife never questioned that he had our best interests in mind. -

Talented Musician, Wonderful Person
Simply said, Jim Perona is a heck of a guy. We chose him to perform for our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour and he blew everyone away. We had seemingly endless guests coming to tell us how much they enjoyed his style and song selections. Not only that, Jim really had our backs through the entire process. When we couldn't decide on our cocktail songs, Jim put together a demo with snippets from a bunch of songs we were considering in a matter of days. And when it came to learning new and intricate songs from scratch, he was always excited and quick to share with us the beautiful results. Now whenever I remember our wedding day I will hear Jim's enchanting rendition of Iron and Wine. -

Jim was amazing!
Jim was fantastic! My only complaint is that I didn't get to enjoy his music as long as my family and the other guests did, something you don't think about as a bride. His timing, professionalism, and talent were perfect. He worked with our officiant and ceremony coordinator the day of and everything went just as we had imagined. Jim learned three new songs for us free of extra charge and they turned out beautifully. He even played a demo for us over zoom to make sure it was sounding how we had imagined. I am definitely going to seek out his next local gig so I can hear more of his music because my friends and family couldn't stop talking about how wonderful he was. -

Jim was the ceremony musician for our wedding and if I could give 10 stars I would! He is an incredible musician and made the entire process so easy. He always got back to us quickly and was super helpful in providing information and suggestions. We highly recommend Jim! -

Phenomenal
I have had the privilege of seeing Jim perform live. I knew instantly that whenever I got married, I had to have his talents at my wedding. When we selected our date, I submitted my inquiry and crossed my fingers that Jim would be available. Thankfully he was. He is so incredibly kind and professional. He is quick to respond and extremely helpful. Our song is Shut Up and Dance by Walk the Moon, and I was able to walk down the aisle to it. Jim arranged it so beautifully. The way he arranges all his music, he mesmerizes his audience.

Wonderful!
Jim was wonderful to work with. He is such a kind and humble person. We were so happy we got to have Jim play at our wedding. He did our prelude, ceremony, and cocktail hour! He is so talented! In our wedding video you get to hear his guitar and it brings me back to the most special day of our lives. If you get the opportunity to have Jim play at your wedding, I know you will be happy you did!! He definitely added a wow factor. Jim was also so easy to work with. He had so many suggestions for songs to use. Thank you Jim! -

Ceremony musician
Amazing! We were so happy with our decision to have Jim perform at our wedding in December. Jim is one of the kindest persons I have ever met and communicating with him was such a breeze, especially with the stresses of wedding planning. Jim’s set list is impressive and he has several songs posted on his YouTube channel for couples to check out. My husband and I knew we wanted a special song to be played for part of the ceremony which wasn’t included within Jim’s set list. Jim learned the notes in a very short period of time and provided a demo with 3 separate renditions for us to choose from. It was incredible! Jim coordinated with our DJ and handled everything so I didn’t have to worry. Next thing I know, I’m walking down the aisle with my dad with everyone staring back at me and I am stressed! But then I hear our song playing, just like Jim had shared with us in the demo. I looked at my future husband, let out a huge smile and the stress melted away for a moment. It was one of the most beautiful moments of the entire day and it was made all the more perfect with Jim’s performance. All of this is to say, if you are looking for a ceremony musician, you cannot go wrong with Jim! This was one of the best decisions we made through the entire process. Thank you Jim for the beautiful memories! -

We are so happy we chose Jim Perona for our wedding ceremony music. He was so easy to work with when planning our ceremony playlist. He did a beautiful job before, during, and after. I hope to catch a future performance of his soon, he was just fabulous. -

Wedding/Event Guitarist Review - Jim Perona
Jim was such a beautiful addition to our wedding! He did a fantastic job providing the music as our guests arrived, during the ceremony and during our cocktail/picture hour following the ceremony. His library of songs was so fun to select from and he even learned a couple new ones that we requested in advance. His professionalism was perfect and everything ran so smoothly. I would highly recommend his services to others as a way to provide a great personalization and ambiance to their event! -

Best Guitarist Around!
Jim is INCREDIBLE. We reached out to him months in advance of our wedding to play for our Ceremony and Cocktail Hour, and Jim delivered above and beyond. He was responsive, accommodating, and his music was PERFECT. He made our wedding planning process so easy and our wedding day was nothing short of a fairy tale. He even RAN from our Ceremony outside to get set up for Cocktail Hour. I cannot recommend Jim enough. We love him and our special day would not have been the same without him. -

Jim is Amazing !
Jim was the guitarist for our wedding at the Morton Arboretum and it was truly the best day of our lives. Jim displayed such deep care, genuine passion, incredible communication, and true thoughtfulness in both the time leading up to our big day AND during his performance. He wears this amazingly authentic smile each time he plays and he has true talent. My dad is an avid guitarist and watched him with puppy dog eyes the whole time. We were so grateful to have him and I would highly highly recommend Jim for any event. Thank you Jim!!! -

Incredible talent & Professional approach
Jim was the easiest and most talented/experienced vendor we had at our wedding in the city of Chicago (late summer 2021). Jim is extremely organized and knows every step of his process and the wedding process applicable to his role like the back of his hand. The way in which he does business is clear, concise, and is backed up by a laundry list of awards and accolades. It is months later and we still have people asking us about him/his performance. We went with a more modern take of songs and Jim even learned how to play “Shallow” by Lady Gaga/Bradley Cooper per our request. There seemed to be no request which he could not manage or had seen before. We had a DJ for the rest of our event so we really loved incorporating some live music into our ceremony and cocktail hour. We cannot recommend Jim enough, you will not be disappointed with booking him for any intimate event. -

Jim was beyond wonderful throughout our planning process and our wedding!! He was extremely kind and responsive which was so helpful in easing our minds leading up the big day! His music is so unique and was such a special addition to our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour! He learned my favorite song and played the most lovely version of it as I walked down the aisle toward my favorite person in the universe! 10/10 would recommend making Jim a part of your wedding or event!! You and your guests will not be disappointed! -

Created the perfect moment
If you are looking for a guitarist for your event, look no further and contact Jim as soon as you can! Jim was amazing to work with! From our first meeting together, he knew exactly what we wanted for our ceremony. Jim is very knowledgable about guitar and creating a beautiful vibe for any celebration. Jim played for our wedding ceremony in the summer. Instantly our guests felt his presence. His music was absolutely wonderful and made our wedding ceremony such a special moment that we will remember forever. -

Can't Go Wrong Working With Jim!
My husband and I absolutely LOVED working with Jim for our wedding. Jim has an incredibly vast repertoire, and was willing to learn new music for our wedding. Not only was the music incredible, but it felt incredibly personal. Jim is extremely kind, quick to respond, and accommodating throughout the whole preparation process. If I could give more than 5 stars, I would! -

Jim is Amazing!
We hired Jim to play live music at our ceremony and I am SO glad we did. He was so easy to communicate with, and always promptly responded to my questions. As we were planning the music for the prelude, ceremony, and recessional, Jim sent us a list of songs to choose from, and went above and beyond to send me samples of songs that I asked for. After our wedding, he even sent me a zip file with all of the songs he played so my husband and I can enjoy the songs for years to come. We are so thankful for Jim. Our ceremony would not have been the same without him. Thank you, Jim! -

He is the BEST!
When my husband and I got engaged in 2018, I knew exactly who I wanted to play for our ceremony, Jim Perona. My best friend got married in 2016 and she had him play for their ceremony and desert reception, where he was incredible!
Jim was the easiest vendor I worked with. I wish could give him more than 5 stars honestly! Super responsive even considering the pandemic, which was a blessing.
Jim’s list of songs is amazing he plays them so beautifully!

Absolutely Amazing!!!!
If I could give more stars I would in a heartbeat. You will not find a musician as talented, kind, communicative and professional as Jim. We were lucky enough to find him through referrals and thank goodness we did! I had a special request to walk down the aisle to an acoustic slow version of Queen - Don’t Stop Me Now and he sent us a demo almost immediately and welcomed any notes and would send a demo the day after we sent notes. We only tweaked a couple things because, again, the talent Jim has is incomparable. We feel so lucky that we met Jim and he was able to play for our ceremony. He made it such a memorable day for us! -

We hired Jim to play during our ceremony and cocktail hour and it made our wedding day ten times more beautiful. He has such a wide variety of songs to choose from and he plays the guitar so well that you just want to keep listening to him. I received multiple compliments from guests. I was also set on walking down the aisle to Wildest Dreams by Taylor Swift and Jim learned the song just for our wedding. It was an absolute dream come true. Thank you so much, Jim! -

Very skilled guitarist
I hired Jim Perona to play guitar for my wedding ceremony and cocktail hour and he was amazing! He knows what he's doing in terms of fading out songs in the ceremony. It's also amazing how you can "hear" the lyrics on top of the melody even though its just one guitar. Really talented! It was perfect for my boho outdoor wedding. I wish I could have heard more of his playing since we were taking photos during cocktail hour but all of my guests agreed he is fantastic! -

Beautifully Played!!
Jim performed at our wedding ceremony and I could not say enough good things about working with him. Not only does he play beautifully, but he was incredibly communicative, answered all my questions and was not hesitant to give suggestions and recommendations. When I was also wondering how the transition between songs would sound like during my Processional, he sent over a video of him playing so I felt more at ease/have a better idea. If you also have a song in mind that you would like to be included in your day, he learns it! Just went above and beyond and we could not have been happier. -

Simply beautiful
Jim was amazing to work with for our ceremony music. He is so talented, but more importantly, such a nice guy! He was able to learn 3 new songs for us, and we even got to have a preview on Zoom before the big day so we could hear the music. We talked through the flow of the ceremony and he made us feel so comfortable. The music was absolutely beautiful and everything we wanted. We even got a recording of the songs to enjoy time and again. Thanks, Jim! -

When I saw Jim's demo videos, I knew he was exactly what we wanted. He is SO talented and very reasonably priced. He learned a new song for me and even took my recommendation for slowing a song down for the processional. He brought all of his own equipment and the sound was perfect for our garden wedding.
Absolutely amazing, definitely hire Jim. -

Hiring Jim was one of the first and easiest decisions we made when we started planning! He was incredibly attentive and thoughtful throughout the planning process.

Jim was absolutely amazing! He was polite, professional, and made it all so easy. I had a super random song from a Disney movie I wanted to walk down to, he learned it and sent over demo which was amazing. All my guest said his paying was very appropriate while waiting for everything to start. I would book him again in a second! Trust me, you won't regret it and he is so easy going it makes everything a lot easier! -

Made our small covid-friendly ceremony so special
Due to Covid, my husband and I went from a 200+ person wedding to a small intimate ceremony for 12. We chose to have our ceremony at The Morton Arboretum’s Fragrance Garden, and they highly suggested Jim for our music. I can say hands down, hiring Jim was the best decision we made. His music elevated our small short-notice wedding into something that felt like it could be truly treasured. Jim learned some of our favorite songs, including our first dance song that I also chose to walk down the aisle to. Hearing an acoustic Ho Hey by The Lumineers as I walked down the aisle towards my husband brought us both to tears. The timing worked out perfectly as well. Jim started playing while our guests set up the decorations and got seated, through our ceremony, and his set lasted through our family photos as well. There wasn’t a guest with us that didn’t say the music is what really brought it all together. I would highly recommend Jim for a small or large gathering. We were originally set to have a DJ play music for our ceremony (back when it was at a large venue) and I now know the experience we would have missed out on and we are glad it worked out this way. -

Talented Musician, Outstanding Person. Glad we found Jim!
My husband and I decided to elope 10 days ago and got married this weekend, so we didn’t have time for a lot of planning. Thankfully, the event planner at the venue recommended us to connect with Jim. Jim was wonderful to work with, very responsive from day 1, he answered all of our questions, made time for us to connect via zoom and gave us recommendations for how to add some music to our wedding ceremony. Jim was very flexible, he was there on time, knew how to read the cues from the officiant so even though we didn’t have a rehearsal for our elopement things went very smoothly! My husband’s son wanted to play a song and Jim kindly offered us the option to use his sound system. Jim has a very special energy and with his music he took our small and intimate wedding to another level. Thank you so much, Jim! -

Professional excellence!
Jim was so friendly and easy to work with. He responded to my emails promptly and provided great advice and details. We requested our ceremony music and Jim even offered to learn a few songs that were meaningful to us but were not in his repertoire. The guests at our wedding raved about the music and Jim's talent. If you are looking for a guitar soloist for your wedding, look no further. Jim is absolutely the best! -

Amazing, perfect and elegant!
We had Jim perform at our wedding this past September for our cocktail hour, and he knocked it out of the park! He is extremely talented, professional, and super easy to work with. If you want any array of guitar rendering of any music, Jim can do it. We had him do his signature Spanish style guitar and covers of songs for our cocktail hour and all of our guests raved about it! Turns an average thing like cocktail hour into something that feels elegant and welcoming! Look no further, Jim is amazing! I couldn't recommend a better soloist, guitarist, musician, etc., for any occasion even aside from weddings! -

You won't find a better musician
I can't recommend Jim enough. It was a treat to have him at our wedding. At first we were just going to have him for our cocktail hour, but due to covid had to change our wedding up and we had Jim play all evening for us. You should seriously look no further. Jim is a talented passionate musician and will add a beautiful touch of elegance to your wedding day or other special event. -

Jim Perona- Cocktail and Dinner Music
Jim Perona played during our cocktail hour and dinner and was absolutely amazing. I have seen Jim perform live many times, and he never disappoints. We knew we HAD to have him play at our wedding. Jim was extra accommodating to the changes in our wedding plans due to Covid, responded quickly when we had questions, and played our special request songs.
I can't even describe how the vibe of cocktail hour and dinner changed when Jim started playing, and there was a moment where we looked around, while he played the song we requested, and couldn't believe this was OUR day. Many of our guests asked for his contact information as well. I can't say enough good things about Jim! I HIGHLY recommend him for your wedding or special event! -

Jim Perona Amazing Guitarist!
Jim Perona did an amazing job performing at our wedding and reception! Not only was his music absolutely beautiful and exactly what we wanted, but he was a pleasure to work with!

My guests were blown away by Jim!!
Jim helped make my ceremony. It was nice to not have the "A" typical DJ doing the ceremony music. To have a this touch was notated by all guests of my day. It made it feel top notch and special. It was nice we got to pick all the music which made it important to us. He performed during our pre ceremony, ceremony and cocktail hour. I wish I would have booked him for dinner service as well. I wish I could have spent more time listing to him that day. Its these little things that really make it worth while and our wedding memorable. -

Great! Very talented
Jim was great to work with! He was very easy to communicate with, and worked with us to make sure the music at our ceremony was exactly what we wanted. We had a song request not on his usual list, so he sent us a video of him playing to make sure it was what we wanted. On our wedding day our ceremony got interrupted halfway through by a rainstorm (!!), but Jim was very flexible while we went to plan b. Would highly recommend! -

Amazing! Couldn't Have Been Better!
We cannot begin to express how blown away we were with Jim. We asked him to play our ceremony and gave him very little direction of what we wanted him to play, and very little information of the structure of our ceremony. Jim helped us EVERY step of the way. He guided us along and helped us shape our ceremony. He was extremely professional and showed up early and prepared. He played absolutely beautifully, even bringing several guests to tears with his renditions of classic songs. I would recommend him to absolutely anyone and everyone. You will not be disappointed. Professional and a great talent. A++ -

He was willing to learn a new song for us and performed if flawlessly. We received so many compliments from our guests on how talented he truly is. Choosing him for our big day was one of the easiest decisions. So glad we found you, Jim!! -

Our wedding day
When planning for our wedding it was an easy decision to have Jim Perona as part of our day!! His knowledge, skills and help through the planning process was so easy and enjoyable! He was quick to respond to any questions and provide thoughts on arrangements. Having Jim a part of the ceremony was the perfect touch and added to the uniqueness of our day :) I still hear about how special it was from guests and how special it was for myself and husband. -

Amazing and memorable experience!
My husband and I got married on October 13th, 2018. We found Jim Perona while searching for guitarists who specialized in wedding performances. After listening to a few song of Jim's on Youtube my husband and I had our hearts set on having Jim play at our wedding. We contacted Jim and got a response back almost immediately. Jim always responded in a timely manner. He was also able to video chat with me and my husband (since we lived quite a ways away) to give us a preview of the songs we requested. Jim played all of the songs my husband and I requested so beautifully and even managed to arrange a few songs he had never performed before. Jim's performance was phenomenal during the ceremony and cocktail hour, he really made our wedding day perfect! I highly recommend Jim Perona if you are looking for a guitarist that is dedicated to his music and providing a memorable experience for not just the bride and groom, but all of the wedding guests. -

Best choice for our ceremony!
We made the choice to use Jim during our ceremony after hearing him during our large tasting event at the Arboretum and I'm SO glad we did! He learned a new song for my walk-in in only a few days and it sounded amazing during the ceremony and made it that much more special. Thanks Jim! -

Amazing guitarist
Jim did an absolutely perfect job at our wedding. He went above and beyond in every way, and is an extremely kind person. We had him learn a song I wrote to play during the processional, and he performed it flawlessly. Our ceremony and cocktail hour were better than I could have imagined thanks to Jim! -

Best Decision We Made!
It was an absolute pleasure to have Jim perform at our wedding - his performance really was everything we could have asked for. We felt very lucky to have someone so talented who could provide a classical and spanish classical flavor for our ceremony, but who also has an incredible array of pop/folk/rock songs for which he’s compiled some truly phenomenal arrangements and which he played at our cocktail hour (seriously, go check out his Youtube channel). Our guests, especially the musicians among them, repeatedly told us how impressed they were throughout the evening. We were too!
Moreover, Jim is a consummate pro, and was terrific to work with. It’s clear he is genuinely excited about his work and from our first conversation, it was clear he was dedicated to creating a unique soundtrack for our day. We could not more highly recommend him and would work with him again in an instant. Many thanks, Jim!

Jim Perona Wedding Guitarist-amazing!!!!!!!!!!
I would recommend Jim to anyone and everyone! He is so talented and so easy to work with. He will customize songs for you and learn new ones that are requested! He is so passionate about music and his job and you can see that in the first few moments of meeting him! He makes everything easy and is very flexible. If you just want to communicate over the phone or email he will do that as well which was great for us because we were so busy! He will get back to you right away and genuinely loves working with people and providing such a great service for one of the most important days! -

Thank You Jim!
Choosing Jim to perform at our wedding was one of the best decisions we made during our planning process. From the beginning of our initial e-mail contact, Jim was professional, kind, and quick to respond to any questions I had. My husband’s favorite song to sing to me is ‘Die a Happy Man’ and Jim offered to learn to play it so that the bridal party could walk down the aisle to it. He played all our song choices flawlessly and our guests commented on how great he played and how nice he was. If you decide to hire Jim, you will not regret it and having live music made our day feel even more special than it already was. At our reception, we decided to have Jim play during our cocktail hour. I am very indecisive so I asked Jim if he could just play a mix of classic rock, and country and the song choices were up to him. Our guests were impressed with the amount of songs he knew and what he chose to play. Thank you, Jim, for making our wedding day memorable and for being amazing throughout the whole process of choosing you to perform. We can’t thank you enough. Katie and Dakota Newsome -

The absolute best!
I could cry tears of joy just writing this review, Jim was so incredible and the best decision we made when choosing a musician for our wedding! Jim performed from prelude through dinner and set the tone perfectly for our rooftop city wedding, our guests couldn't get over how awesome he was! Not only is he a great guitarist but is willing to learn and special songs you request. I was deciding between a couple of different songs for the processional and recessional for the ceremony and Jim, without hesitation, recorded a couple examples of how these songs would sound and sent them to me that same day. He was an absolute pleasure to work with, and he seemlessly worked with all our vendors and our officiant. Talented and so easy to work with! We can't wait to go see him when he performs in town too! -

The Amazing Jim Perona
My husband and I chose to have Jim play at our wedding, cocktail hour and dinner after my parents heard him on New Year’s Eve and raved about his performance. We contacted Jim and he provided us with song lists and suggestions for the various parts of the ceremony. He was extremely professional in every correspondence. On the day of the wedding, our outdoor ceremony was moved indoors at the last minute due to rain. He quickly adapted to the change without any direction – he moved all of his gear and equipment inside and was ready to go without missing a beat. He was willing and ready to do whatever was needed. His guitar playing was beyond beautiful and he blended into the ceremony/cocktail hour/dinner perfectly. During the dinner hour, we realized he was taking requests from our guests and played everything they asked. Not only did we get a guitar player, we got a true performer. At the end of Jim’s playing time, our guests gave him a spontaneous standing ovation. To this day when our guests discuss our wedding, they always mention the amazingly talented Jim Perona. If we were getting married 100 times (or planning a future occasion), we would hire Jim again in a heartbeat. -

Extraordinarily talented and a joy to work with.
Jim Perona made our wedding day so personal and special. He took a beautiful Nils Frahm piano solo that we really wanted to have in our wedding ceremony and transformed it into a beautiful guitar rendition. He's talented and is someone who loves what he does, and it shows. It makes his music even more meaningful. 100% recommend him for any event. You will not be disappointed -

Jim is an extremely talented guitarist. We hired him to play for our ceremony and our cocktail hour. He arranged two new songs for our ceremony and they sounded amazing! He was professional, friendly and prompt with all communication. Our guests kept talking about how great he sounded! Jim has a wide repertoire of music, so there’s something for everyone to enjoy. If you’re thinking about hiring Jim, stop thinking and just do it! You will love what he has to offer. -

Jim Perona Guitarist
I was so excited to get Jim as our guitarist. I wanted non-traditional music and he played exactly what I wanted. I did not get to hear all the music since I was hidden away and had to take photos when the ceremony ended. I did hear the song I choose for my entrance, 'Everlong', and it was beautiful. I also heard a song I asked Jim to arrange for the recessional, 'Longer' by Dan Fogelberg (one of my favorite singers). It was beautiful. -

Jim is a truly talented musician and we were so lucky to have him perform at our wedding. He worked with us to coordinate song choices that highlighted our personalities and helped establish the right mood and ambiance for our ceremony and cocktail hour. Jim accommodated our unique requests and did an outstanding job. His performance during our processional was very powerful and moving. The guests were struck by the atmosphere he created. He is a gifted musician that can emulate many styles. We received so many compliments from our guests on his performance and we feel very fortunate to have found him. Thanks very much, jim! -

AWESOME! I cannot day enough amazing things about Jim. He is so unbelievably talented! My husband’s most memorable part of the day was his performance at our wedding.
Jim is so easy to work with and is so professional. He’s an excellent communicator and gets back to you quickly. He was on time and well dressed for the occasion.
Jim’s level of skill far surpasses other local vendors and his passion for the music can be experience in every chord.

Fantastic!
Jim was fantastic to work with! He played our pre-ceremony, ceremony, and cocktail hour music for our outdoor wedding in September. He was able to time the processional music perfectly even though the ring bearers' took a little longer to walk down the aisle :) We received so many compliments on our cocktail hour music; it really set a great tone for the rest of the reception! Jim as so kind in all our communication prior to the wedding he really seemed genuinely excited and happy to share in our day. We would recommend him in a heartbeat! -

Amazing Guitarist Made Our Wedding Beautiful
Jim was amazing to work with! From the start he was wonderfully communicative, and was able to clearly lay out our options after we shared what we were looking for. While he has a long list of songs as part of his repertoire, we were also able to pick a couple of songs - and he learned how to play so that he could perform them at our wedding. Jim brought all his own equipment and performed beautifully for our ceremony and cocktail. Our only regret is that we didn't get to listen to him more (as we weren't at our cocktail for very long). We highly recommend Jim - he's professional, incredibly talented, and was easy to work with. We're so appreciative that Jim could join us and help make our wedding day special! -

Highly responsive and beautiful ceremony music
We highly recommend Jim Perona! Jim was the guitarist at our wedding ceremony at the Morton Arboretum. He was extremely quick in responding to our correspondences. We asked him to play the Forrest Gump Feather Suite for when I walked down the aisle, and he learned to play the song on the guitar just for us! We were very happy with Jim, his talent is exceptional. -

Excellent Live Music for Our Big Day!
We knew we wanted live music for our ceremony and we found Jim through my wife’s mother out east. She plays weddings and company events as well. Jim invited us out to see him play live at a beautiful steakhouse in the suburbs of Chicago. He played requests and made picking out songs fun and relaxing. The day of our wedding couldn’t have gone better. The sound was perfect and Jim was early and ready to go when the time came to play. Highly recommend Jim for your next event. -

Jim is the best!
Jim played our wedding at the end of June this past summer. He was absolutely fantastic! From planning to playing, everything ran smoothly. The day of he showed up and set up and it was almost as if he was behind the scenes. He played all of the music that we requested and he even learned a few songs for us! The transitions in between songs were flawless and everything was beyond perfect. Our guests had great feedback and we would absolutely recommend him! -

Jim did such a great job for our wedding. He is quick to respond, quite affordable for the amazing quality of his work, and great to work with. His has a large repertoire but can also learn new songs (he knew all of our requests already!). You can also “trial run” and listen to him at his many live performances. My only regret is that we didn’t keep him on to play through our cocktail hour, too!
Highly recommend! -

Jim was one of the biggest highlights of our wedding reception. He was super accommodating, quick to respond, and has some mad guitar skills! If you are looking for something unique at your wedding, give this guy a call!! -

Jim was an incredibly easy, professional, and friendly vendor to work with while planning our wedding. And after having planned a wedding, I can tell you that hiring vendors that are easy to work with and reliable is very important! Jim knew what he was doing from the get-go, and he communicated with our venue about how to get in and set up so that we didn't have to. And most important, his guitar playing is outstanding! We asked him to arrange John Mayer's version of "XO" for the bridal entrance, and we love how it turned out! He even sent us an MP3 recording of his arrangement after the wedding. You can watch his YouTube recording here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TzKhqIupLDI. He has a huge repertoire, so we had many choices of songs for all the various parts of the ceremony. I have zero complaints and would absolutely recommend Jim for your wedding. I could listen to him play for hours! Thank you, Jim, for a memorable performance! -
