    Beautiful playing!!

    Jonathan was wonderful!! He was very professional and was easy to work with. He played beautifully for our ceremony. He even learned a special song for the groom to walk into.

    Wonderful Guitarist

    Jonathan was amazing! He made it easy to choose songs for my ceremony, and even learned a custom song for the recessional. He arrived on the day of the wedding on-time and ready to play. I didn’t have a wedding coordinator, but Jonathan was in place and ready to go right at the start of the ceremony and the music was beautiful. He also played for an hour at cocktail hour. I would recommend him to anyone.

    Jonathan Kunkle Classical Guitarist's reply:

    Thank you Kate
    It was great to be included in your wedding. I thoroughly enjoyed playing for your ceremony. I can see why you choose the selection you did. It fit in perfectly with the ceremony. It was fun to learn it.
    Best Wishes

    Wedding Ceremony and Cocktail Hour at Reception

    We got married at the Harrisburg Capitol Building and we had no idea what that meant or to plan the music for that type of venue. Not only did Jonathan already have experience at that venue, he walked us through the entire planning...giving advice, but letting us have the input we needed to make it ours. Then (and this doesn't happen often) he showed up and did exactly what he promised he would. The entire wedding went off without a hitch and everyone talked about how amazing the music was. We went from a small wedding on an even smaller budget to having the classiest wedding music around! We cannot thank him enough for truly making it our dream wedding.

    Jonathan Kunkle Classical Guitarist's reply:

    Thank You Rebecca.
    It was great to play for you and your guests.Everyone was easy to work with and your guests were very appreciative and kind to me at the wedding and reception. Thanks again for having me.

    Beautiful music and attentive service!

    I found Jonathan through a different vendor on WeddingWire who highly recommended him. We hired Jonathan to play prelude music, professional, recessional, and to coordinate first dance music. Jonathan was very patient with me and responded to all of my countless emails very promptly.

    He also sent me recordings of the requested songs I wanted and made accommodations when needed to make sure everything went smoothly! The music he played was beautiful and really added the perfect touch to our small ceremony.

    I would highly recommend anyone looking for a musician to consider Jonathan and listen to the samples on his site.

    Jonathan Kunkle Classical Guitarist's reply:

    Thank You Leonor.
    I greatly enjoyed playing for you and Taylor's wedding. I am thankful that I could participate. It was wonderful to play for you and your families and friends. I also enjoyed playing in the conservatory. Thanks again for having me.
    Sincerely, Jonathan Kunkle

    Would Recommend to Anyone!

    We used Jonathan during our wedding ceremony as well as during cocktail hour. He can play a variety of music on his guitar, and is extremely helpful while putting your ceremony music together. His pricing is beyond reasonable for the quality service you receive. He played wonderfully- it sounded like a dream come true!! Would recommend for anyone wanting live music for their wedding.

    Jonathan Kunkle Classical Guitarist's reply:

    Abby,
    Thank You for having me play. I enjoyed playing for you and your family and guests. It was great to be a part of your ceremony. It was also nice to meet some of your family and guests during cocktail hour. That was a great day.Thanks again.

    Great sound solution!

    Delighted to have Jonathan play at our ceremony. He was able to support our officiant with an amp for her mic, cue up our ipod for a particular song, and most importantly- serenade our guests! Jonathan played 30 mins while our guests were mingling pre-ceremony, as well as ceremony music, and 30 minutes to follow. As bride and groom we were not able to sit and enjoy but our guests made a point to compliment his playing. He was easy to work with, and very responsive. Highly recommend!

    Jonathan Kunkle Classical Guitarist's reply:

    Thank You Kelly,
    I appreciate you having me play and being a part of your wedding.
    That was a fun evening. Best Wishes. Jonathan

    Couldnt be happier

    My husband and I really wanted a live musician for our ceremony and cocktail hour. Jonathan was wonderful to work with. Very accommodating and responsive. He even leaned how to play a song we requested for the recessional which was very special to us. Thank you Jonathan for adding to our perfect day!

    Jonathan Kunkle Classical Guitarist's reply:

    Hannah,
    Thank You for having me play. That day was beautiful in every way. It is a privilege to be a part of it. Jonathan

    October wedding

    Jonathan was one of the best choices we made during the wedding progress. He played "can't help falling in love" as my walk down the aisle song and it was absolutely perfect. He was very responsive, reliable and truly talented. I highly recommend.

    Wedding music

    Jonathan was amazing! His music was so perfect for our outdoor ceremony on October 6. Prior to the ceremony, he helped me pick out the songs for each part and he played everything so perfectly! I would highly recommend Jonathon as a ceremony musician!

    Jonathan Kunkle Classical Guitarist's reply:

    Michael and Courtney,
    Thank You for having me play for your ceremony. The pieces you choose for the processional are some of my favorites to play. I enjoyed working with you and I am grateful I could be a part of your ceremony. Thanks again.

    Jonathan was absolutely amazing and SUCH a pleasure to have at our wedding ceremony. Every time I messaged him he responded within hours, he was always so detailed and thoroughly answered all my questions. He went above and beyond with his responses and made sure I felt comfortable with everything we chose. Not to mention there was a hurricane anticipated the weekend of our wedding and I told him that we were still getting married outside no matter what. To my surprise it did not phase him at all and he was down to do whatever we needed and plazas outside regardless of the weather. He was very professional and his music made our ceremony extra romantic. He even learned a couple songs we had requested! Jonathan was definitely a GREAT choice for us and I highly recommend him for whatever event you are planning! You will not be disappointed.

    Jonathan Kunkle Classical Guitarist's reply:

    Thank You Janine
    It was great to part of your ceremony. It was also interesting to hear how you and Xavier met. I am glad it did not rain, that was a beautiful spot to get married at. I liked learning All my Life. I will probably need it again in the future.
    Best Wishes, Jonathan

    I would definitely recommend Jonathan and hope to utilize his services again in the future.

    Jonathan was fantastic! He was responsive, on time, and played lovely music. He was open to any thing I wanted him to play but I let it up to him aside from deciding between two different songs for different times. His song selections were perfect! Highly recommend.

    Jonathan was wonderful. Professional and courteous despite the chaos the morning of my wedding. He went above and beyond. He did a BEAUTIFUL rendition of Fresh Feeling by The Eels for my recessional per by request. No extra charge! He is well worth the price and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to a friend or hire him again for any other event.

    Absolutely beautiful

    Jonathan played for my wedding dinner and provided beautiful music. He was the perfect balance of entertainment and background music. Jonathan also accompanied me as I sang a song to my new husband. I had no issues staying together with him as his musicality was first rate. I highly recommend Jonathan as a very talented guitarist.

    My family and friends still talk about the special touch Jonathan brought to our wedding. He is amazing. So easy to work with and so talented. Jonathan even learned to play a new song we requested. He played it more beautifully then the original. We couldn't have asked for a better musician!

    Thank you Ashley
    I appreciate you having me play in your and Ryan's wedding. It was great to learn and get to play Across the Stars for you. I plan to keep playing it.
    It adds to the ceremony when you can personalize the music with a song that is special to both of you. I am glad i was able to participate
    Best Wishes
