Neil was so wonderful!
Neil helped make our small ceremony even more special! He was extremely accommodating, willing to Zoom us while we lived in another state and able to learn a new song based on our request. The music was absolutely lovely, and we really couldn't imagine anything better for our wedding day.Neil helped make our small ceremony even more special!

Perfect accompaniment
Neil was a pleasure to work with and the perfect accompaniment to our wedding! He performed at our wedding ceremony and reception cocktail hour, and we received rave reviews from our guests about both. Neil learned new songs for us and helped me plan a surprise performance for my husband during our ceremony, even bringing a spare guitar I could use. We highly recommend him for any wedding!Neil was a pleasure to work with and the perfect accompaniment to our wedding!

One Of The Best Parts Of The Wedding!!
We hired Neil as we wanted a Spanish Guitar vibe at our wedding. He went above and beyond! Working with Neil was a charm! He listened to what the vision was in terms of music and brought that to life ten fold!! He was also willing to learn not just one, but two songs to play during our ceremony. He was one of the best parts of our wedding (other than getting married of course!) and we will definitely look into hiring him again for other events if needed. Thank you for your help Neil! You are a true talent.We hired Neil as we wanted a Spanish Guitar vibe at our wedding. He went above and beyond! Working with Neil was a charm!

Above and beyond and one of a kind
Neil was one of the best parts of our wedding - his professionalism, flexibility, and willingness to ensure we had the experience we wanted were above and beyond. Neil has an incredibly unique skill set in classical Spanish guitar and went out of his way to share his passion and knowledge of this skill set with us. Neil literally opened new avenues of music to us, and we will be grateful for years to come.Neil was one of the best parts of our wedding - his professionalism, flexibility, and willingness to ensure we had the experience we wanted were above and beyond.

Highly Recommend!
In short, Neil is an excellent guitarist and super easy to work with. We highly recommend him to anyone interested in a guitarist for their event.
Neil took things to the next level:
1. He learned a new song (from a video game) to play for the recessional
2. He worked with the groom’s uncle to perform a song together
3. Came to our home to play the guitar for us so we could get a feel for his style
4. Very flexible during the pandemic and never had us worried about anything
Neil did a fantastic job at our wedding and we are very thankful to him!In short, Neil is an excellent guitarist and super easy to work with. We highly recommend him to anyone interested in a guitarist for their event.

Amazing music!
Neil was AMAZING! Very responsive and helpful. Our wedding ended up being warmer than anticipated but he was there playing beautiful music with zero signs of worry. He also helped us with any questions we had and was very easy to chat with and get ahold of. Really appreciate all the effort he put into learning our first dance song as well.

Incredible Talent and Performance
For our wedding day, we wanted live music for our cocktail hour - something that felt familiar to our Spanish and Latin American families. Our day was centered around togetherness and romance, and we thought that a guitarist would be a perfect complement to the vision we had. Neil Dixon Smith is exactly what we were looking for; he has great musical style and was a joy to work with. Thank you for adding your gift to our day, we and our guests were so impressed with your music and performance!For our wedding day, we wanted live music for our cocktail hour - something that felt familiar to our Spanish and Latin American families.

Hire this man
I cannot say enough good things about Neil. He was quick to respond, courteous, thoughtful, and stuck with us through our 10 month COVID postponement. And of course, the music was incredible. He arranged multiple songs for our ceremony and helped set the tone for one of the best days of our lives. You could do no better than Neil Dixon Smith.I cannot say enough good things about Neil.

The perfect cocktail hour vibe
We hired Neil based on a recommendation from another musician. After previewing his music on his website, we were blown away by his talent and overall vibe and booked him for the cocktail hour and ceremony for our small outdoor wedding. We asked Neil to play whatever he recommended and we received so many compliments. We can't thank him enough to creating the best vibe for our small gathering!We hired Neil based on a recommendation from another musician.

Fabulous Guitarist!
What an amazingly talented guitarist. His repertoire seemed boundless! We used him for the wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. Classical pieces were played for the ceremony. During the cocktail hour he played current pop pieces, classical Spanish guitar and Argentinian and Colombian ballads and current Latin pieces. In short, we could not have been more pleased. All our guests commented how much they enjoyed his music! You will not be disappointed if you hire Neil Dixon Smith!What an amazingly talented guitarist. His repertoire seemed boundless!

Simply fantastic!
I have hired Neil to play for several private parties. Not fancy parties but casual parties. His Playing is so beautiful and melodic I have had several guests say they felt like they were “in a movie.” His tunes are perfectly entertaining without overwhelming.I have hired Neil to play for several private parties.

Talented and passionate musician!
We saw Neil perform at the Great Wedding Recyclery and got his contact info. After we reached out to him via email, he offered to meet with us and play for us. We had a few musical genres in mind and on the spot, Neil was able to play them for us. We were sold! We hired Neil to perform during our ceremony and cocktail hour. Neil is a true professional and so flexible. He was able to fulfill our requests for specific songs to be played during the processional and then had free reign to "do his thing" during cocktail hour. We got so many compliments from our guests. Having live music, even if just for the ceremony/cocktail hour, really elevated the feel of our wedding. With his reasonable rates, you really can't go wrong hiring Neil.

Please hire Neil asap. He did such a fantastic job at our wedding. I received so many compliments on the music during our ceremony and cocktail hour.

Perfect Vibe
We booked Neil Dixon Smith to perform at our small wedding dinner reception. We had a total of 40 people attend the dinner and wanted an intimate feel and some live background music. I heard Neil perform at another event and knew he was perfect for the occasion. He set the tone for the evening and was a wonderful musical backdrop for the evening. I would love to book him for a future event, should I have the opportunity.We booked Neil Dixon Smith to perform at our small wedding dinner reception.

Perfect acoustic guitar and awesome percussion duo!
We couldn't be happier with our choice to use Neil Dixon Smith for ceremony music and him + Janet (his percussionist) for our cocktail hour. Neil came to our house and played for us in the months leading up to our wedding so that we could actually hear the songs he might play. He recommended songs for all aspects of our ceremony and gave us multiple options - including a commitment to learn new music if we wanted - which was so helpful! After meeting with Neil and hearing his sound, we even planned a special spot in our ceremony where Neil just played acoustic guitar for 30 seconds. It was beautiful and gave us a chance to soak in entire moment - including looking out into our audience. We also hired Janet to do percussion with Neil during our cocktail hour and received multiple complements on the 'fun, energetic sound.' Overall, I would highly recommend Neil!We couldn't be happier with our choice to use Neil Dixon Smith for ceremony music and him + Janet (his percussionist) for our cocktail hour.

We planned our wedding in Chicago from LA; Neil was very accommodating and setup a FaceTime session with us so that we could sample his music.
