  Wedding guitarist

  John is a great musician with professionalism and tons of experience. His prices are very affordable and very low considering his level of guitar expertise and what people below his level, charge. He worked with my wife and I every step of the way and even went out of his way to learn a new song for us. For the ceremony his song choices helped make for the best day of our lives and provided great atmosphere in the pre ceremony. During the cocktail set he thrilled our guests who couldn’t help but buzz about his playing for days after. 100% recommended and I would love to work with him in the future. Thank you John!

  Hey Joe I just saw this I am so excited that you made the time to give me an incredible review. You know I thought your wedding was one of the most beautiful events and experiences I've had because I love doing weddings and you and your family were just great including that beautiful wife of yours of course. I hope we'll get a chance to see each other again and let's meet up at the Frontier for another Sweet roll. Come out to a gig sometime I'll start posting things on my web page at The Bash when I start getting some public events, I'm doing a lot of private events right now. Once again thanks for such a great review it was a lot of fun and Happy New Year!

  John Martinez was an amazing addition to our Wedding Ceremony and Cocktail Hour!

  John played for our guests as they arrived at our ceremony and then played some beautiful, original music during our processional and ceremony. We chose a Beatles tune for our recessional and have had so many great comments from family and friends! John then played during our cocktail hour for our guests - they all just loved it! He enhanced such a wonderful, loving environment with his beautiful guitar music. He definitely is a Guitarist Extraordinaire! Thank you, John!

  Really wonderful!! Exceeded expectations!

  John Martinez is an amazing guitarist, singer and performer. He played nonstop for four hours at our home for a party! He is incredibly versatile and has a beautiful voice. He played rock, classical, jazz as well as his own compositions. His guitar playing was really fantastic. All of our guests were so delighted and impressed. I would most definitely have him perform for me again and highly recommend him. He is also a very warm and personable person, and very easy to work with.

  John was awesome

  We had an outdoor wedding last month and John played fir our ceremony. Ww we’re able to meet with him prior and he helped us select the perfect songs for our wedding- including one we loved that was an original that we used during our processional. So many guests commented on how nice the “vibe” was as they arrived and were seated prior to the wedding as he played. He didn’t miss a bear and we so enjoyed working with him! Thanks John!

  House warming party

  John is an extremely talented musician! He played for ~6 hrs and had the music repertoire to play even longer without repeating a song. Everyone at our party thoroughly enjoyed his wide range of music. I wouldn’t hesitate hiring John for your wedding/party. He’s fantastic!

  Talented and professional Musician

  John is so talented and the live music, and variety of music, fit perfectly at the wedding rehearsal. His work ethic is amazing.

  Great musician and easy to work with

  We hired John as our guitarist for our wedding. He was very flexible with our schedule and would accommodate zooming with us to go over our order of events in terms of music. We also had quite a few guests complimenting us on our choice in musician! I highly recommend John for your future events.

  Our guests absolutely loved John!

  We are very happy we chose John to play guitar for our ceremony and cocktail hour. All of our guests loved him! Everyone raved about how great the music was during cocktail hour and how he created a nice atmosphere. We chose one of John's original pieces for my walk down the aisle, and it was really beautiful! John was also very flexible and great to work with. Highly recommend!

  John is a must hire!

  I hired John to play for my mother's 93rd birthday during the dinner hour at her Assisted Living home in Santa Fe, NM. John communicated with me along the way, asked what songs we liked, and arrived in plenty of time to set up, and start on time. He played some of her favorite songs that she loved. The response was fabulous. All remarked on how good John was, his guitar playing, song variety, and voice. In fact, I got another referral from him. John is a must hire! I will hire him again!

  Very satisfied with John Martinez

  John Martinez helped make our wedding day special. He is a great musician and a very up beat person. I received compliments from my guests on how the music was very nice. John was willing to travel to my home town.I would recommend him to anyone wanting classical guitar at their wedding.

  Absolutely Enjoyable. Super Experience

  I had seen John at a local spot, took his card and later called him up to perform at small and very special family reunion. Man did he land it- spot on for our gathering. His music selection was as if tailored-made for our group. Recommend highly. Man am I glad it was John. A DJ for me is way too passe when I now know, nothing beats live. Not to mention all the love from the family showered on me for making this decision. Thanks, Mr. Martinez. Hope to see you again sometime.

  Special music for a special event.....

  We worked with John Martinez who did the music for our wedding and it was everything I dreamed of. The music still plays in the background of my mind and hope it does for the a lifetime. It made the walk down the isle an amazingly special time a moment I will treasure always.
  
  John was an attentive and involved part of our special day making himself available to give advice and zoom based performances in advance and being very willing to plan with us since it was a destination wedding it could have been tricky but he made it easy.
  
  Thank you John we will never forget you or how special your music made our day.
  
  Warm regards,
  Rosella and Stephen

  John is an excellent guitarist

  John played at our intimate backyard wedding last night and did such a wonderful job as our entertainment. We chose a variety of songs from his song list and he has a wide musical repertoire. He learned a Bob Marley song for our first dance and nailed it!! He is talented and was great to work with. A must hire!!

  Couldn’t have been happier

  We needed a last minute guitarist for our wedding ceremony. Called Mr. Martinez the day of, in the morning! He called us back in about an hour and ran through some music for us. Sounded great.
  Performed at our ceremony that night and couldn’t have been better. Thank you!

  Hey there Aja I have to apologize for not replying to this wonderful review, for some reason I didn't see it. I'm now reading it and very excited that you were happy with the music. I know it was a quick gig and you guys were such a beautiful couple, by the way. I'm not sure if you're in Albuquerque but I'm on rotation at Old Town Farm on Thursday mornings Backstreet Grill Saturday nights in Backstreet Grill on Sunday afternoons. Come out and hang out one of these days thank you so much for the great review and good luck to you guys Sincerely, John Martinez

  Guitarist Extraordinaire Indeed!

  John was an excellent choice for our event! He communicated well, maintained flexibility throughout our planning process, showed up on time, and was very professional at the event. He was a key component of our evening, and many guests complemented the atmosphere he created. The diversity of his repertoire and his willingness to adapt to the crowd was a standout strength. As far as one-man acts go, you cannot go wrong booking Mr. Martinez!

  Winter Wedding

  Mr. Martinez (John) performed at our wedding on December 13, 2019. He was an excellent choice for our event! We pretty much gave him carte blanche on the music selections and we were not disappointed. His overall performance was moving and very emotional. We love classical acoustic guitar and John is truly an expert at his craft. We received loads of compliments from our guests and our only regret is that he didn’t stay long enough!

  John Martinez review

  John did an amazing job, he provided excellent service and he was professional. He will go to great lengths to make sure the customer is satisfied. The power went out for almost the entire party, but John has a battery powered speaker that he let us use for the rest of the night. He definitely saved the day

  Hey there newlywed how are you? So I had been meaning to get back to you so much sooner but I've had a lot of problems in my family, my mom got sick, you know she's a hundred years old so the last two weeks have been rough to say the least. She's home now everything's hopefully going to be get better. Thank you so much for the great review I really appreciate it was such a nice opportunity to come up to Angel fire and hang out with you and your family. Renee and I had a lot of fun and I'm glad you enjoyed the music and it was my pleasure, of course. Give my best to Hector and I hope I get to see you sometime again. Sincerely John Martinez

  Rainy day didn't keep the beautiful music from playing

  John played for our daughter's wedding. He is an amazing guitarist. Our outdoor wedding ended up with last minute rearrangements to indoor, very tight space. John had learned new music for the processional that ended up being the shortest processional ever and he had to sit in a tiny corner. None the less, the ceremony guitar music was beautiful and the cocktail hour music was great and fun. If you like acoustical guitar, he is awesome! We really appreciate that he adapted to the fact that the rains dictated our last minute venue.

  I will use them every time again and again!

  John and Susan, as Chili Pi, are simply awesome. Excellent musicians and vocals. They were able to hit our diverse audience with both originals and covers that pleased everyone at the event I organized. I will use them every time I organize an event in the area!

  Desert Wedding

  John was very friendly and played exactly what we requested perfectly. We had an acoustic ceremony set and he switched tunings so quickly for the brides entrance! His duo Chile Pi played the reception with a mix of traditional and original songs. The crowed loved it and we really enjoyed and appreciated their energy and effort! Made the day so unique and special. Thank you John!

  Hey There Cora how are the newlyweds??? For some reason I didn't realize that you had given me such a great review and when I finally saw it a few days ago and I was super happy!! You know how important a good review can be and yours was really nice. You know I had a lot of fun playing for your ceremony & reception and your family and friends were super cool, too. Sorry it took long to respond but I wanted to thanks you and say that I hope we will see each other again soon. Come out to a gig sometime. Best of luck to you and Michael for many many happy years. Sincerely, John Martinez
