    Small wedding ceremony with Sebastian

    Sebastian played for our small wedding ceremony in a regional park last week. Prior to our event, he was easy to communicate with and responsive. He showed up exactly on time and enhanced the ambiance of the day. Our guests shared with me that they enjoyed listening to him play leading up to the ceremony and as they visited and took photos afterwards. Sebastian's demeanor was calm and pleasant, he seemed happy to be there and not rushed at all. Would highly recommend booking him, probably my favorite addition to our small wedding.

    Spanish Guitar was the perfect touch for our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour!

    Sebastian was amazing and his music was beautiful. He was so easy to work with and was open to special song requests. We really enjoyed how our requests turned out, especially "Samba Pa Ti" and "Kiss Me"! You can’t go wrong with Sebastian!

    A lovely experience with an amazing guitarist

    We are so very happy to have had Sebastian be a part of our big day. He is a technically superior guitarist and plays with amazing feel! It was so lovely to hear him playing so beautifully during our ceremony, cocktail hour and dinner. Everyone really enjoyed his music and getting to chat with him during his breaks. We wanted a mix of classical and contemporary and he did just that. He was easy to communicate with. He was very professional but we also appreciated his calm and laid back energy. He was flexible, punctual, polite and did everything right. We highly recommend him!

    Incredible musician

    Sebastian was so amazing through the entire experience, from initial hiring, choosing songs, to playing perfectly at my wedding. I chose a lesser known orchestral piece rescored for acoustic guitar and he was more than happy and excited to learn it for my special day. It truly made my entire wedding and he is a fabulous choice for any event! He even played our entire cocktail hour afterwards!

    The acoustic guitar you need at your wedding

    Sebastian was a true pleasure to work with. His arrangement of our processional song "Golden Hour" by Kacey Musgraves was so beautifully done that many an eye teared up as we walked down the aisle. The music he played before and after the ceremony created a warm, inviting ambiance for the entire time we and our guests were at our wedding site, an urban redwood grove. His communication throughout the process with us and our wedding coordinator was prompt and friendly. Sebastian comes with our highest recommendation!

    Warm, Flexible, Communicative

    Sebastian was very easy to talk to and happy to adapt and work with any ideas you may have about your playlist. He was very responsive over email and he came on time, hiking into the Red Wood Grove on foot with his gear. Sebastian sat in the gardens poised and easily adapting to the changes in the seating, weather, timing that our event was throwing at him. He was so easygoing. We and our guest really enjoyed Sebastian's guitar playing, song selections, and general presence. He was engaged throughout our whole ceremony, laughing and smiling during the sharing of our stories. He felt very happy to be there with us and we were so glad to have had him be part of our special day.

    Wonderful Guitarist

    Sebastian was lovely to work with and a great performer. He learned three songs for our ceremony in about a month's time and played them flawlessly. Highly recommend.

    A True Headliner!

    A real wedding headliner! A true professional every step of the way. He was open, receptive and was a part of the entire wedding conversation. We had a set group of songs and the few this wizard didn’t know he proved eager to learn. His catalog is vast, communication skills are the best I have worked with, and he holds himself with respect which fit perfectly into the backdrop of our wedding as a whole. A kind soul with strong intellect who plays one heck of a guitar! So grateful for all his work with us as at ti es the planning proved chaotic but Sebastian was always the calm in the storm. Thanks Sebastian! Keep making all the more people dancing and smiling along the way. What a great day it was!

    Fantastic guitarist

    His music helped set the ambience fir my cocktail hour. It was romantic and could be heard without overpowering the conversations. He was timely, played songs that I asked for and was reasonably priced.

    Fantastic Wedding Guitar Arrangements

    Sebastian played the songs for our outdoor wedding ceremony, and we were thrilled with his performance. We were particularly excited about his interest in arranging requested songs rather than having a set list of songs he plays. All his arrangements were lovely and the music at our ceremony perfectly set the mood. We would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a wedding guitarist.
